Around here we use a different ethnic slant to describe this type of hap-hazard repair technique but I think that about covers it

just a 22re

shes all honed and im about to rering and put back together but im takling the pistons to get checked and the block not worped head just got back from the shop and oh yes i know what im doing

What is it that they check the pistons for?
Piston bores tend to wear unevenly.. Hard to bore one out in the engine bay.

HEHE yes , but I would imagine if your not taking it out then a hone , re-ring and removal of the lip at the top of the bore would be better than just leaving them in till next time eh

I would remove the engine to rebuild it the proper way ... but thats just me. hopefully your "rebuild" goes well for you, good luck.

yeah yeah yeah YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL OF YOU CAN KISS MY BUMPER LOL JUST PLAYING ok so i just took the block out so you all win got pissed and took her out much easier now but my back will thank me in the morning

n4ynu1010

As long as your bumper is clean I will kiss it for you ROFL
I will not flame you but if your gonna go that far why not just do it all so you can forget about it for a long long time .
Thats all they are all saying , they just don't want to see you do half or 3/4's of it and then in 3 months wipe your rings or a bore and then have to tear her down again .
Also from the Old School of Wisdom :
We would always frown on putting fresh heads (usually milled thereby increasing compression) on a old or worn bottom end because in no time at all the increased load on the bottom end from the top end being rebuilt would result in all kinds of failures - mains,rods,wristpins,ring lands.
So if you tear it all the way down and rebuild completely then it is all happy and gets to wear in together .

Note : Use the buddy system to remove your motor (and no I do not mean the "Don't ask - Don't tell" buddy system) , ask a buddy for a hand or to borrow his engine lift , what good is a fresh motor if you can't sit and drive comfortably

Haha, that's great. Post up some pics of Barney's new motor!

I would think the first 3 failures would have tipped you off about the in-frame rebuild method?
























hehe couldn't resist but I see you have come to your senses. I pull 3.0 V6's to do head gaskets because its easier to work around the motor than from the top only.

If you're on your 4th "rebuild" of a 22RE then you're doing something wrong mate... Is it possible that you've just torn the motor apart 4 times to do 1 rebuild???

just a 22re

Agree.. These motors are rock solid.
