Just thought I'd stick up a couple of pics while the engine is still out of my car if anyone's interested - apologies for the lo quality pictures but I only had my camera phone handy at the time!! So this is a brand new block, straight out of the box That's my dad scratching his head over it

This is about a week later, all the nice shiny new bits are bolted together now, and it's sitting in the garage waiting to be dropped back into the celica.. or should that be waiting for the celica to be dropped back onto it!! Edit: before you all point it out - I know the cover isn't back on yet..

cool man. Good luck with that. I would never try any major work like that myself. Why the new engine anyway?

Lol - you could just about fit a deck of cards between the front numberplate on the Previa and the Celica! I bought the celica knowing that the engine needed work - it had the same fatal oil burning problem as Haulin_a_doo's car. Decided replacing everything from the head down was the safest bet!
