Anyone used a John's Foreign Engines 22r rebuild kit?
One of my 22re's spun 2 rod bearings and one main bearing was about to go...less than 100k on it, supposedly rebuilt shortly before I bought it.

I'm looking for feedback on the johnsforeignengines.com rebuild kit from anyone that has used one, or can recommend any others in the $300-350 range.

I'm curious what the machine shop is going to tell me about that crank...two rebuilds in less than 100k. Must have been abused, my other one just turned 200k and runs like brand new.

I don't know the price, but I've heard nothing but great things about this place http://www.engnbldr.com/ Espeically from the 22re guys.

I've heard good things about them as well, thier master kit is only like $196.00. Seems pretty cheap, I do want to go with something that is going to be as reliable as oem parts, if that exists for $196, I'll take it!

Anyone else have suggestions?

You might try asking the same question over on 4x4 wire http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/postli...t=&Board=UBB11 A lot of 22re guys over there.

Here is a thread that might help you: http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showfl...5&o=14&fpart=1

I can tell you that Ted is a super stand up guy to deal with. His parts are definately quality , adn his prices are excellent! He really knows his toy motors. My 22re was built using his parts entirely , and I beat mine hard- till the point of sucking air/no oil pressure & all has been good.

engnbldr.com is highly reccomended by me!

Checked out the 4x4wire site, sounds like these guys are the ticket!
Thanks for the feedback everyone, I'll post results of the rebuild in a few weeks.
