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'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?

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.
