Need your opinion on 22r head
hey all, so I am in the process of rebuilding my motor, I bought a built block from a machine shop that came with a new crank, new rods and pistons. I threw a rod in my old motor. Long story short I pulled my old motor with plans to re use my head ( i orderd the new 4 piece timing kit and re build gasket kit with bearings from engnbldr) but I am now running low on funds. My question is, do I need to take my head to a shop to have it cleaned and checked? the motor did not over heat or anything, and it looks to be in good shape, the cheapest i can get a shop to clean it and check it out for is 160.
thanks
thanks

well you can do that, but you might just have to pull the head later on if it burns oil or somethin, wich will suck but if its what you can do its what you can do..i got a valve, valve guide, all new seals and checked out for $100 - a cleaning tho

the only thing that would make it burn oil would be the valve guide seals, but if it burn oil b4 shouldnt now, just later down the road maybe...and thats good news! its like Christmas

just a quick question, i read the thread and saw you got the timing set for engnbldr what all comes with it? cause i need one i found out this week that the tick i had, wasnt valves needing adjusting. it was the chain hitting the timing cover. i just bought my yota im new to them.

If you wanted a cheap job done quick maybe you should've went and found a vehicle with a 22r that still ran, and not decided to overhaul.
You say your truck threw a rod? Did you ever consider maybe the piston in that particular cylinder stopped moving while your valves continued to open and close?
I'm no rocket scientist, but now that your motor is torn down it's time to consider "Do I wanna throw this back together and drive soon?" or.. "Would I like to expect at LEAST another 170k well served miles?"
just my .02
