If your doing all that you might as well replace the oil pump, the water pump, and all of those good things.

I'm trying to keep down on the price a lil, because I'm trying to save for the 7agte conversion.... I just want it to get me by till then... It was at 300,000 miles and using a quart of oil a day so it couldn't wait....

You should still replace them. If your rebuilding you should. I replaced everything, just a standard OEM rebuild. Even bought timing belt kit and replaced all of that. New harmonic balancer everything.... but back on topic i wouldnt buy from eBay go get it from Toyota or Advance Auto, somewhere from there.
