Alright so if anyone has been following this thread...https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...-start-149706/
they know what is going on. Well, I had some trouble getting the air intake chamber off. Tonight, after several applications over several days, of PB blaster and liquid wrench...plus some minor height from a "windproof" lighter, and a little muscle...I managed to get the upper part off...unfortunately much to my dismay a piece of the lower intake came with it.


When I get around to installing the new head, is this broken part going to be an issue? Thoughts on where to get a new one/used one if it is (no toyota motors this new (?!) at the junkyard.

Thanks,

Jeremy

 

You should be able to get one from a junkyard.

 

It looks like you need the lower half of the intake ?, you might try taprecycling.com here in california, they are a toyota only salvage yard and they will have what you need, but there prices can be a little high.

 

Is that off of the lower intake plentinum off of a 22RE fuel injected truck that could use a 1987 or a 1994 instead? I have 2!

 

Target: I will call local yards here tomorrow
myyota: thanks for the website..I will check them out.
JS Engine: It is a 93, so I would assume that a 94 would work. What are you thinking?

 

your in canada get thrust it works better than pb blast.. its what mechanics use

 

same thing happened to my buddy's when he tore into his motor. he just got a new bolt, stuck a big washer on it, and tightened 'er down... but on that note, this is just his woods truck, not his DD, so I don't know how reliable this would be if you decide to do that. best thing would be a replacement lower plenum

 

Maybe you could use aluminum epoxy to reattach the piece and then a bolt washer and nut?

 

JB weld is your friend.

Actually unless you are running a lot of boost in your intake side I don't think you will have a problem sealing it back up. A liberal coat of RTV should ensure that. The two remaining bolts should snug it up nicely.

 

Thanks guys...I am thinking once it is off, I will bring it to a welder and have them put some more metal on...then I will use a bolt rather than a stud.

 

yeah i was thinking a big washer and a snug fit and man im sorry to see that its a first for me!

 

You're just having a hell of a time over there aren't you...

If it were me, I'd get another from a junkyard, ebay, or a forum member. It can't be that much and with all you have in it now it would be a shame to half a$$ it now...

The last thing you want is to complete the job and have a part fail and have to go back in.

I bet with what you'll pay to have it welded you could just about get another.

 

spend the money to fix it. I tried to fix my lower intake manifold and after all was said and done I had take it all back off and get a used one.

I got mine from a forum member for cheap...I think $30-$40??

 

Yup...I am having great fun wrenching! I am going to try and get some quotes from a junkyard tomorrow and I will be posting an ad in the wanted forums. The $300 intake assembly from LCE is a bit steep for me!

So if anyone has an extra kicking around that they would like to sell, PM me!!
