Ive bought and sold many early 90's toyota 2wd pickups with the 22re and all of them were bought for under $700 with something wrong with the motor , was either the head gasket or a piston out the side of the block.90% of those trucks were under 200,000 miles .

Its still my favorite motor because its so easy to work on.

I have read alot of good things about the 1uz-fe and for the last year have been trying to buy up some cars with this motor and the cheap ones are cheap because they are wrecked not because having engine problems, and Im not saying there hasnt been any , I just havnet seen them.

22re = most favorite
1uz = most reliable
