Ok so i have come to the conclusion that my fuel injecters are leaking. So i am about to go remove them and send them out to be cleaned. and i figure well i'm doing this it's a good time to replace the timing chain. i have never done ether of this tasks before looking for advice on where to send the injectors and where to get the TC parts and anything else i should concider since i won't have a chance to take my truck down agian any time soon.

Thanks

o forgot the info it's a 22re Tc was done about 45K ago just before i bought the truck.

Um i don't know if i should ask this or not but how hard is it to replace the clutch.

I haven't done a timing chain on a 22re - might be more than you want tackle for a first time project.

For the injectors - I used Rich at Cruzin Performance - google him

As far as the clutch, I would say that if you know/can figure out how to drop your transmission/transfer case/driveline, then the clutch itself is easy - getting the starter out will be fun, the motor to tranny mounts are fun too, as well as lining up the tranny input shaft when you put the drivetrain back in is fun too...

LCEngineering has an excellent timing chain kit, complete with metal guides. If you had the TC done 45,000 miles ago, it's not time to do it again yet. However, I can understand wanting to do it yourself, as I am in the same boat!

Anyways, LCEngineering also has a dual timing chain kit that I think I am eventually going to go with.

Also, if you have any reputable vo-techs around you with an automotive department, take the injectors there! I spent quite some time in vo-tech and the engine performance department would clean fuel injectors for next to nothing (literally, it was usually around $2 - $10.)

Clutches are fairly easy. You'll want to have someone with some experience if you do it in the drive. Pretty much just unbolting, switching parts, aligning everything while you're doing it, and then bolting everything back together.

I am not new to engine work i just rebuilt a 4.3 Chevy motor for a buddy (man do I hate Chevy Motors) And i have been through some vo-tech training i have just never done any thing like this on anything other than Chevy motors. And i have never worked on and manual trans setups. and where i was taking classes they don't have the equipment to do a quality injector cleaning.
as far as the timing chain go's when are those due? and how are the kits from engine builder http://www.engnbldr.com/toyota_ala_carte.htm
