i believe simply by doing top overhaul will solve the prob. once u had the cylinder head removed check whether piston ring need to be replaced or not. a good mechanic can recommend which wud be best for you. top overhaul wont cost you more than RM1,000. maybe slightly extra if u need to change piston and piston ring set.

change engine cost more. but a fren of mine had coverted his EE80 1.3 to 1.6 20valve silvertop with Four Throttle body. complete with AE101 Levin dashboard.

that is very niceeeee... he had resigned from toyota as a foremen and set up his own workshop. if want to contact him let me know. otherwise, can ask other sifus at toyota forum...:D

If you do change your engine you have to go to JPJ to get it registered. Before you register you have to go to Puspakom for inspection.
