Hi i reported a previous problem with my engine and now finally it has died. The oil pump broke and i have been told that it left metal fragments revolving around the engine (at 125). So i believe i only have two options. A new engine or a rebuild. I am looking for a new engine but can't find one that is reasonable so if anyone knows where a decent low mileage engine is please advise thanks. Or someone that does reasonabley priced rebuilds. I am tempted to see if it could be re built with a vengence (more power). Please let me know either way thanks.

personally, i think you should go for the rebuild.

just my opinion though.

i have begun stockpiling parts as i plan to do a rebuild after i get my suspension and brakes very nice and silky smooth;

if you rebuild you can bore the cylinders and put sleeves in to defray the damage done, if any, by your scraping pistons.

also, when rebuilding, you can installed forged pistons and connecting rods, and get a new balanced crankshaft.

and if you are going to supercharge, you can lower your compression ratio.

take your head to a specialist, and have them check it, it is most likely fine, but may need new valves/springs...

if not, maybe you can go for a port and polish, or some longer duration camshafts...

if, on the other hand your head is thrashed, this may not be a terrible thing.

you may be able to source a head from another toyota engine and do the hybrid thing,

since the IS200 1G-FE is not really a performance engine.

the only benefit of finding a used engine is that it will be much less expensive than all of the above.

good luck in your search.

Sorry to go off subject a bit, but the Wiki-page states the 1G-FE is a DOHC, is this right?? Sorry if this is a really stupid question.

Also would it be possible to bolt a 24valve head to a 1G-FE??

Cheers James
