Toyota Celica 1989 Update

I have a 1989 Toyota Celica ST that needed the head rebuilt so while it was apart I decided to have the grooves cut into the head at a local machine shop.
They got the car put back together and I will post more results soon. So far, the car seems to have a little bit of a rough idle but that could be due to anything.

What I did notice so far is that in lower gears I can push the gas and there isn't any pinging. It just seems to accelerate nice and smoothly. I have taken off in second gear from a dead stop and didn't even notice I was still in second until I had to shift, so the grooves must have some impact.

I will post again in about a week or so with gas mileage results and temperature results as I will have better data then. Good luck to all who try this! sincerely, Leif Hunt in Lake City, Florida !! Mr. Singh, I wish you luck in your endevour and I hope to one day meet you. :)

I've been driving the car for about 3 days now and I have the new gas mileage results. I am now getting 35 miles per gallon and there are still some little fixes to be made so I expect that to get a little better. No temperature results as of yet. I still have a few things to get done before I post them. I want to make sure everything is how it's supposed to be before post them.

The car does seem to run very good though. Im going to get fuel mileage from the Toyota dealership to compare with what I am actually getting and I will also post those results soon. If you're anywhere near Lake City, Florida and you want to get this modification done to your heads just let me know and I will refer you to the mechanic who did mine.

Sincerely,
Leif Hunt
