i am about to put a new 22re, clutch, and a header on my 92 4x4 toyota pickup its stock with the 22re with right at 200,000 miles 5sp tran and i was wondering if any one could offer some advice on taking the motor out changing the clutch or anything you might know that you found helpful?

 

LABEL LABEL LABEL PICS PICS PICS
Most Important thing is to take lots of pics and label everything you take off, out, or remove ,this way you won't get things mixed up or put in the wrong spot causing even more delay in getting your truck back on the road.

Do all mods you want to do while the block is out of the truck i.e. cam it oil pump water pump timing ect. so much easier with nothing to get in the way of changing any thing.

 

ive already order a long block from united engine pretty cheap i got the stage 2 clutch off ebay and im getting the obx stainless header

 

Whenever I do any faily extensive work... I go to the local coin operated car wash with some truck ramps, roll that sucker up on them... and wash as much of the motor/tranny as I can reach!

May seem like a waste of time, but if you have a bad rear main seal, or oil coming from anywhere else... it makes the job alot cleaner when you start tearing it down!

and as mentioned before... take tons of pics, and label every nut and bolt for location.

 

that is a really good idea i think ill definitely do that before i start

 

Check your flange on that OBX header and make sure its flat. Another member here bought one of those, threw a straight edge on it, and it was not even close. He contacted them, and they said all of their headers had that rounded flange. He sent it back, got a refund, and picked up an LCE.

Hate to go through all that trouble and have to fight an exhaust leak from day one.

 

glad u said that i haven't ordered it yet the motor and the clutch are on the way but i just wanted the obx cause its stainless and fairly cheap
