I do apologize beforehand for any mistake i make.
is this thread still alive?
anyway, I have a 1990 CE95 corolla with 2c-iii since 2008, 2nd hand owner, recently overhauled for the 1st time.
i was a long term lurker here but never had to ask for help like this. the thing is, I distinctly remember it when I first got it, it was really quiet with only a faint rumble and the whirring of the fans (were direct).
after overhaul, which saw the cyl head being replaced, (the only thing of notice here), the engine is much quieter than before its overhaul but noisier than from what I remember how it used to be.
is that supposed to be normal? is there anyone you guys can suggest that I visit to have a 2nd opinion?
lastly, in the current market scenario, what would be the cost of having it turbocharged? is it recommended? i have spent quite a lot of time with it (learned to drive in it), and would like to extend its life as much as I can. what would be the best option then?
again, sorry for the long rambling post.
