engine and drivetrain OT: Anyone rebuild an engine on a Toyota Pickup?

[Guest Anonymous]

I believe it is a 1985 22R engine. I have a chance of picking up a free truck that needs an engine rebuild.

Anything especially difficult or easy? Anything I should know? Best place to get the parts?

There was actually a Toyota Truck that pulled about 150' before he blew engine, tranny and who knows what. He was pulled out the way with a golf cart!

It is actually not that hard. They are relly similar to

the 02. only thing is noone would listen to me how

the cam and rockers wen t back on, so they had to

take it back apart.

Pretty straight forward engine to build. Use only OE timing components or you'll be back in it. Fel-Pro overhaul gasket set is reasonably priced if you don't want to spring for OE. Clevite / Top Line bearings will hold up also. My 022r

The 22R is a pretty stout motor and is the Japanese mini version of the "small block Chevy." A stock rebuild is pretty inexpensive and building horsepower beyond 140HP is very expensive. Small ports, small bore, & long stroke produce good torque at low revs. I've built several and found a great source for high quality parts and machining. He's a racer/machinist who specializes in the 22R. Email me if you want his contact info.
