    i think you can use your 3sfe intake manifold, you're missing the waterpump/timingbelt/tensioner, valve cover you should be able to re-use yours,

    Yup............. and if need be........... buy new piston rings and crank bearings which cost fuck all ( in the big picture ) but make a huge difference overall.


    Clean up said parts and then brush and/or polish them on an electric bench buffer/wire brush............ Stay safe and use leather riggers gloves and safety glasses etc......



    I gotta love the look of a polished piston without carbon build-up and I'm not gay :lol



    It's also quite easy these days to 'hone' or 'clean up' the piston shaft/bore with a device that connects to a cord/cordless hand drill but my drinks empty so your gonna have google said device :lol



    The 'lip' that the rings/pistons create around the top of the bore tends to lead some people to think that they need to have the bore professionally machined to an inch of it's life which is not always necessary............. :cheers

    I highly suggest before you start doing anything, pickup a BGB(Big Green Book aka Toyota Factory Manual). If you dont have one, Im sure there are people on here (including myself) that will hook you up with one cheap. What year is your celi?
