this is real simple

gen 1 3SGTe only used in celica. has 2 separate cam covers. NEVER in SW20.

there are 4 versions of the Gen 2 head. . all of them have a 1-piece cover

rattles in the head usually come from incorrect cam tunnel clearances.

Are you sure its a gen1 3sgte? It should be a gen2 3sgte.

Not to confuse the sw20 revisions with the engines. 89-93 sw20 came with the gen2 3sgte, tho they made a slight revision to it in 92, more on the ecu side of things than the motor.

Only the st165 gt4 came with the gen1 3sgte.

You can also use a gen1 ge head from an st162 celica, but better to go gen2 if you can.

What vehicle is this motor in?

I've got a Gen 2 head, looks in fairly good condition. I've also got manifolds, TVIS, exhaust manifolds, etc. Basically everything that attaches to the head.

PM me if your interested.

Yes gen2 gte head is a straight swap. All your gen1 manifolds will bolt straight up, also allows you to fit more readily available aftermarket cams and valves.

Hi all,

Recently rebuilt my 3sgte but there was some significant damage to the cam journals from past owner and was unable to get it 100%, one or 2 of the buckets had a slight tap as the cam was floating around a little, anyways i started the car yesterday and It is quite noisy now so looking for a replacement head. not looking for anything already reconditioned as I have all the machinery to do it my slelf. Also anyone know what changes to heads through the 3x generations? ie will a gen 2 head suit my gen 1 block/manifolds? just having issues finding anything gen 1

thanks, in advance.
