22re Engine refresh questions.
HI,
I've got a few questions on what you guys would do. I've got a 1988 4runner with the 22re and it's got, 220,000 miles on the original engine. It runs perfect now not even a tick, but I would like to make this truck last a long time. Right now, I may be buying an engine out of a 1985 pick-up with the 22r with, 140,000 miles on it. I would like to refresh this engine before I put it in my truck. I'm debating between buy an engine kit from engnbldr on e-bay or going to Toyota and buy main bearings, rod bearings and piston rings and an aftermarket gasket set and probably an oil pump too, and a timing gear set with metal guides of course. When I look at engnbldr's stuff on e-bay it sounds pretty nice and he offers a few different cams, but I have no idea what cam I would want. Any pointers would be great.
Thanks,
Jake

Engnbldr has a huge following on every Toyota forum I read. His stuff is supposed to be first rate.
I got one of his timing chain kits with the steel backed guide and so far am satisfied with the initial quality of it and the service I got.
The master rebuild kits are supposed to be just as good.
I know subliminaltrips used it and has been happy with it.
