What can i do to make my motor run longer??
hey guys i have a 92 toyota 4x4 pickup 5 spd. with the 4 cyle 22re motor in it. It has 166k miles on the truck and runs great, but this is my main truck so i want to make sure that it will run even longer, I was thinking about taking off the oil pan and cleaning the oil pickup screen, since some people say thaey can get clogged after awhile. I had changed the timing chain arounf 30k miles or so. should I chance the tranny fluid? that has never been changed? what else can i do to make sure it runs for a long time? thanks alot

just change the oil, nothin more but also realize at 166k it will have more things go wrong but it should be able to go over 200k, just pray to the toyota gods

what's a crankshaft return spring?
also, dude, if you changed your timing chain at 30k and now have 166k, i'd do that pretty soon. 136k on a timing chain in an interference engine is a lot. especially when it's suggested to do it every 60k. (unless you meant 30k AGO, in which case you're good)

I didnt have the time or the $$ to pick up an OEM CRS (Crankshaft Return Spring). So I just went to Home Depot and got one from the garage door section. It actually works better. My rig will smoke a supercharged 4Runner now.

After I saw the heading of the post, that was my very first thought, but after reading it, I knew he meant LAST LONGER.......... I just couldn't resist

Ok ok, jokes over. We are kidding.

We are just giving you a hard time. Just change your oil and perform routine maintenance as scheduled in the manual. You should be fine.

Yea, only in the ever creative minds on this board, will you find some of the most impossible things. No such a beast

I'm thinking that a crankshaft return spring that was big enough would be kind of like a poor man's hybrid - with a gas/spring hybrid You drive it straight until you get the spring wound up really good - then turn around - put it in reverse and release the spring.

Use an oil filter with an anti drain back valve. This will keep the timing chain from flapping around on start up, because the tensioner works on oil pressure.
