Kev 16v Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Your location would help, but here's a link to a Garage who have done Crank re-grinding on Gen 7's before. Rhys is a former member on here and Toyota trained. Clicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ams Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 yeah lee - se7en is your man - he might even have a rebuilt engine ready so he can do a swap in swap out he has a thread: http://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/index.p...howtopic=113224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planc Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Gotta be se7en if you want a rebuild and a tweek, many garages can rebuild but you can't guarantee it will last, just chucking new shells in will be a tempory fix and some buggers would carry this out and call it a rebuild.
