So here's where I'm at on this 22RE. I am about to put the lower intake manifold on, but the gasket I got with my kit covers that coolant port at the back of head as well. Should I be bolting them up at the same time, or can I cut the gasket between them to seperate it into 2 gaskets, and bolt up the collant hard line after I get the intake in place?

Here's some pics-

Here's the head


Here's the coolant passage at the back end


My gasket covers both the intake ports and the coolant passage... so how should the install go?

Also here's a pic of my EGR plate, and the 2 hard lines that I have




Can you identify these 2 lines, and which goes where? Also, if one of both of them are bolted into the head at the EGR plate, which hole does that bolt go through?

I basically need to know the best way to hook all this stuff up. Thanks!

Well I put my intake on in the truck...after I had the head installed so I put all mine together at once. I would not cut the gasket, but that's me.

As for the 2 pipes the all metal one goes to the EGR and the exhaust manifold. As for the other the metal part goes to the underside of the intake (I believe in the middle of the lower intake) and the rubber end goes somewhere around the heater valve.

I think the all metal is on top of the other.

It's been a while since I had a good look at these.

I believe the chrome one is a coolant pipe. The other I know is part of the Air Injection System. One end connects to the PAIR valve under the intake mani and the other end connects to the tube attached to the top of the exhaust manifold. It is NOT part of the EGR like most people think.

Well it went to the intake somewhere I could not remember for sure...I was close though. Give me a little credit.

Thanks for the help guys, I got the lines straightened out. But as for the lower intake gasket... If you would not seperate the intake ports section from the coolant passage, then how is the install done?

Lumpy

I guess I'm not fully understanding your issue or your question.

The hole you're pointing at is where the EGR bolts on. It's exhaust gas, not coolant.

Mine is carbed, so I'm not sure what you're dealing with. I haven't put mine back together yet, but the side cover (has a valve screwed in top) goes on first, then the intake, then the EGR valve w/tube.

In tacoma huh? If you still need help PM me.

My question is, since the intake manifold incorporates that EGR passage, should I be installing both of them on the head at the same time? Or can I carefully cut the gasket to seperate them, and install them at seperate times... propably not much reason too, though?

Also, I need to know what all should be on the block on both sides. I am referring to the sensors and bolts, not accessories.

Here's the passenger side, I've got the knock sensor to the left of the oil filter, and the pressure sensor under the filter-



Here's the driver side, I have only a bolt that I am pointing out(I believe it is the block drain)-





Here is the driver side with its coolant hard line mocked up, is this something I should have in place before I drop the motor in, or will it be easier without?-

My gasket was perforated at that spot. Go ahead and cut it. its two separate things. If not, just mount the intake leave the gasket then when it comes time mount the egr.

click on the link in my sig (the typed out specs is a link)

TONS of pictures of my rebuild; might be helpful


good look'n motor there

Off the subject, but what kinda mileage could I expect with a fresh motor, balanced, and a 260 grind on the cam, 31'' tires?

I bought this '94 extra cab with a real bad head gasket, but driveable. I had the motor completely rebuilt, and when its all done, I'll be into it for around $2800. Not bad.

iamsuperbleeder

with the specs you read in my sig, I'm getting just a hair over 18mpg after recently replacing a bad O2 sensor

not bad if you ask me

driving style has a LOT to do with it though, ESPECIALLY on a non-stock motor. You can stay at original MPG all day long with a built motor if you drive civil, but the second you lay into the throttle and USE that extra HP, you can almost watch your gas gauge needle drop, lol

It would be easiest to install it prior to dropping the motor in. It is easiest to install pretty much everything except the intake plenum, which your wiring harness will run through.

Also make sure you install the big "U"-shaped coolant line that runs from the water pump to the bottom of the radiator.
