02-11-2019, 06:53 AM #243I could probably do with a 1gfe sump among other bits, I'll have to make a list. I still need to drive up to you at some point and take a look, barclaycard are faffing me about with this loan still though. You free any time in Feb?
It took me a long time to get a sump. I've managed to get 2 but had to buy a sump and pickup separate for one and a whole engine for the other lol

Good luck with the op! How hard is a timing belt replacement on the 1g by the way?

02-11-2019, 10:56 AM #245I wouldn't mind buying a whole engine if it's sub £120, I don't want to drop big bucks as I'm still planning on upgrading the powerplant when the money flows again.

Provided the crank pulley bolt isn't a pain in the **** I reckon you could do the whole thing in less than 3hrs.
Toyota make it fairly straight forward. Take all the gubbins off the front of the engine, make sure everything's lined up with the timing marks, take the old one off, put the new one on, turn the crank through 720 degrees and make sure everything lines up, put everything back together.
