My parents had a 5ME Cressida and at one stage payed $3600 for a new head...that turned out to be dodgy anyway. The car was at the mechanics (Toyota dealer) for over a month. They couldn't find a head anywhere.
This was a while ago now and I didn't know much about cars then but I wish I knew about engine transplants then. A 7MG or 7MGTE or 1JZGTE would have been a much more sensible option for similar money.
Tell them to get a good reco non turbo 7M motor put in. Lots more power...lots more refined (Even though the 5ME in my books is a lot better than their new Commodore engine) and more modern.
My thoughts anyway
