My 22RE Rebuild + Prettification effort
Hi, long time lurker, newbie poster.
I have been (slowly) rebuilding my 89 Pickup's 22RE, here is a catalogue of how it has been going through photos:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...9&l=422292ffd4
Aside from the machine shop screwups, the only real issue encountered thus far while reassembling is stripping the thread on one of the throttle blade mounting screws when disassembling to clean it up.
Hope the throttle blade arbor + blade can be replaced individually w/o having to buy a whole new TB...
Other than that, have noticed the "full" gasket kit I picked up isn't quite complete in that it is missing some PAIR system gaskets and has nothing for the TB/upper intake assembly (e.g., the grid-like rubber gasket used for the TB air bypass channels).

I like that light blue where did you find it ? I was looking for something like that for my manual hubs to match my body paint. Your motor looks good as well wish I had found the color to match my body but then again I really like my red and silver combo just as much.

I have not tabulated total costs yet, I want to get it running first and there have been a few unexpected costs along the way (various sundries like replacement fasteners). I would hazard a guess at around $2k including all services and tooling, but keep in mind I have replaced quite a few parts in the process rather than re-using when I *could have* if I was trying to pinch pennies.
I actually painted TWO blocks with one can, that's a bit of a long story as the machine shop buggered up my original block. Everything painted has a coat of primer, two colour coats, and two clear coats, so it does look quite pretty. Probably ~$60 in paint all up. The blue is "Pontiac Metallic Blue", a Dupli-Color 500degF paint. The other colours are "Cast Iron" (block), "Aluminum", and a white and black stove paint (1200degF) for the exhaust, PAIR, and EGR related parts.
Basic parts list so far is:
* New camshaft
* New head w/ os valves, springs, etc
* Timing chain kit
* Timing cover
* Water pump
* Oil pump
* Full gasket kit
* ARP head stud kit
* Full replacement bearings (mains, conrods both ends)
* Total Seal ring set with gapless top
* Block cleaned, bored 0.020" over, decked, helicoil fixes for two threads, honed
* 0.020 Pistons with wrist pins etc
* Flywheel machined
* Zoom clutch + pressure plate
* Studs for all intake and exhaust port fastener locations
* All new rubber lines (water hoses, vacuum)
* Injector servicing @ Witchdoctor

Nice Work!! It looks GREAT!!! Makes me feel like a slacker for not having the time to clean up and paint my buddies engine when I rebuilt it for him last year. But he wanted to be able to drive to work. lol

wow man, looks GOOD!
yeah gasket sets, for whatever reason, gasket kits never come with that gasket for the PAIR system tube... which I find kinda stupid...
but it looks really good man! what's the specs? is that a stock replacement head and cam?
I like to see when people spend as much time on their motor as olharley and I did on ours

Looks far prettier than mine will.
I'm impressed how nicely your rocker assembly cleaned up. Any tips for doing that?
What, if anything, did you do to the rocker arm faces? Or were they still ok despite the worn down lobes?

I was just going to paint everything in the cheapest one-colour high-temp rust paint I could find when doing my rebuild next summer, that beautiful engine is making me seriously reconsider going that route.

The wear on the rocker lobes wasn't terribly bad, and with the valve lash adjusters on this motor wear doesn't present a clearance problem that can't be adjusted out so I just figured re-use.
peow130: See above for guesstimate.

I've been wishing I had such a setup, particularly now that I'm into the cleaning phase of my rebuild. I hate to think how much your cleaner cost, but ultrasonic does as well as I had imagined. Maybe someday...
