motor mods
i'm thinking about doing stuff to my motor. i need to pull it out to replace all the gaskets. i figured i would maybe throw something on there. like adj cam gears or some cams, or pulleys. would pulleys do anything for me. some people have told me that it won't do anything for me. but if it doesn't do anything for me then why do they sell them? I'm still new to the motor part of the car. thanks.
I would say they are worth it they allow you to fine tune your cam adjustment and the pulleys let you free up some hp www.nonstoptuning.com check them out they sell lots of good pulley and adj cam gears for the 86 and there in texas.

well i have the full gasket rebuild kit. i just don't have a motor lift, or the know how and tools to take the motor apart and put it back together here in austin. so thats why i'm looking for people who run corollas in austin so i can have someone to help me due to the fact that i don't have the money to pay a shop. one shop wanted to charge me $5oo just to pull the motor out, let me replace all the gaskets, and then put it back in for me. so yeah.pecx wrote:Gasket? Head gasket? You would consider head work if you want to use this motor for years.
New timimg belt OEM toyota is good $30
New Camshaft seal
Valve job + resurface + new valve seals $250 +-
Camgear doesnt make much different if you still have the stock cam.
