Hey, my friend is trying to get his corolla gts up and running. After he parked it for some time, we got it started and the car sprayed coolant out of the exhaust and oil from the main seal. So he needs a new motor. Does any one know where he can find a good rebuilt motor for a decent price. I think a rebuilt motor would be better than another 24 year old motor for obvious reasons. I know you can find them on ebay, but I don't know which sellers to trust. Also it would be nice to find someone local in case there are any issues. Any input would be appreciated!

as for a 4a, good luck, youre gonna get a 25 year old motor unless you find a jdm piece out of a sprinter.

might have luck on craigslist , or on a forum for a 4A-GE, maybe even a junk yard for a 4A-C

happy hunting
