Cylinder head Reman or Rebuild? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #73643 6 posts Started by csscza
like its says whats your opinion? Im redoing my sons 96 gt conv. and thought I ask?
i had mine replaced with a rebuilt one. i've put ~16k already. had a shop to do it. no issues so far.

why are you rebuilding it anyway? internal leak issues?

head gasket blew and it really needed it. Gettin a reman for 300 here in ft worth texas.
just have a shop check it for straightness. if its good, just reuse it. do a quick and dirty valve job, and by that i mean just lap the seats. new stem gaskets, and rock and roll.
