2005 Toyota corolla XRS engine source in ontario?

[longshan]

Hello,
I am posting this in an attempt to help my father. does anyone know where in southern Ontario I can find a new engine for a 2005 Toyota corolla XRS?

It would be a big help for my parents.

Thank you and sorry for intruding onto your lovely forum,
Longshan

Unless I'm mistaken, the XRS engine is the 2.4 liter base engine from the Camry... They should be readily available at any salvage yard.

I was incorrect. in 2005, they were using the Celica GTS engine. 1.8 with different cams, i assume. Still, they should be around...

dime a dozen on craigslist and search your local yelp... weight out the cost, time, $$$, resell value, and headache before you truly commit.

FYI: it's not a friendly swamp

it might be cheaper to rebuild the engine , find a reliable person !

If you can't hear it running, If you can't do a compression check, and if the engine isn't clean enough to check for leaking seals don't touch it. I learned this because the guy looked honest to me Ha.
