Anybody used japanengines_inc on ebay, or japanengines.com? Looking for a farily cheap, but good, and complete rebuild kit. Or, if you have any other recomendations, tell me.

 

meh you can try but i wouldent, i would defiantly go with http://www.engnbldr.com/ just cuz all of the praise around here about him, and apparently EXTREMELY good customer assistance

 

Ted's the man. Enginebuilder is all you need.

They are correct. Ted is great, and so are the parts that they supply.

But just a piece of useless information, I ended up tossing two sets of bottom end bearings and bought Clevite instead because the Rock (the brand they supply) were all over the board in measurements.

 

So, about how much would a complete rebuild kit from engnbldr cost?

 

I bought a brand new head, fully assembled, with cam and full rebuild kit, and timing cover and it was $802.


I think the kit alone, which is pistons, rings, and full gasket kit is only $289

 

That price ($289) is with either the 261 or 268 cam my complete master kit from TED/TOD was $209 and $229 shipped to my door

 

Also, out of the 2 cams, which would you suggest for the best perf. for everyday driving?

 

The 268 is what TED suggested as a daily driver cam you get better top end if you want off road the 261 is the answer.

Call or email him and learn all you what to know he is a encyclopedia of 22 re/Toyota info and is very happy to share it with anyone interested.

 

Thanks for the info man. And forgive me for any dumb questions to come, I'm still new to this toyota stuff.

 

I have used both japanengines.com & enginbuilder.com both offered great service and parts.

 

Would you choose either one over the other?
