Anyways to catch yall up the yota has been broke in the yard for about a month now waiting on its rebuild. well finally this weekend i started pulling it. Got her taken out and to the shop today. Here is the list of what shes getting..

Bored .40 over
block is getting decked
mild comp cam
head is getting shaved as far as the new cam will allow
all new head components
crank is being balanced
block and head will be painted gloss black
intake manifold is being ported and polished by yours truly
dual row timing chain
Pacesetter header on order along with cherry bomb glasspack
2.25" pipe run all the way back
new electric cooling fan ( if anyone wants the stock shroud let me know, not a crack or blemish on it )
and finally a marlin crawler super HD clutch


well on to the pictures of this weekend...

as she sat when i pulled her into the shop



most the wires and vacuum lines undone, upper intake off



more wires off, and lower intake off



exhaust manifold off



more accessories and random stuff off



Finally chained up and coming out



almost there!!



and shes out!

Just cleaning up now



valve cover off





and she was off to the machine shop! wish me luck guys, hopefully gonna be a stout motor when shes done. more pics to come this week and next weekend as i start cleaning and painting the intake manifold and valve cover, along with my body lift going on!

 

Great job!! That's always a fun project!!

 

good list of mods, should be quite a bit more peppy. i see you have a good taste of vehicles.. 4 runner and a early bronco.. iv got the same combination sittin in my shop also

 

man every body has shops , I want one to.
whats up with all the 22re builds , tell you what you will never need to look far for pics of the 4cyl

 

Sweet Bronco!!

And man did you yank that motor quick, I guess I'm slow.

 

use stock gasket for the pacesetter, alot of people's leak cuz of the crappy gasket they use, and they also corrode fast, so if getting it coated is an option ide do so, sweet deal, have fun!!

 

hey guys thanks for the complements and help. Well i got a visit from the UPS man today, take a look at what i got...









that would be my header, cherry bomb muffler, taylor 8.2 plug wires, and NGK v-power plugs

over all im very pleased with it. for a 23 dollar rattle can job. i will keep yall posted when the motor goes in this weekend. wish me luck boys

 

Good looking stuff man, I need to get up their and help you.

 

thanks Miles, im going to pick her up tonight. going in this weekend, not sure if austin is going to help or not. ill give you a call tonight.

 

Wow...i think you need a new camera

With my rebuild I said...why clean it if its going to get dirty in 10 minutes anyway

 

^^ haha well i like it to look good for a little while anyway. and i know about the camera, those were just taken with my little point and shoot, when she goes in this weekend im gonna use my D60 wish me luck guys, i picked the motor up tonight. gonna get started saturday morning with the help of some friends. will keep yall posted.

 

movin along prety good i see! hope all goes well, and i had the same prob with my valve cover when i painted it lol

 

looks like you had good parts to start with. I took my valve cover to the machine shop and had them run it in their automated parts washer. They said they had to run it through 3 or 4 times to get it clean. The oxidation and pitting where horrible. I had to wire wheel it one evening to remove all of the corrosion. Then took it to the powder coater and $20 later it is a beautiful glossy signal blue.

 

I like the Black and White but can I make a suggestion with out you getting offended? The lettering you should take the paint off and bring it back to metal so it stands out like this.

 

^^ yeah im gonna do that to mine. Btw good looking cover. well boys shes all done, and running. it took a lot of time, money, frustration, and help. i cant start to thank everyone who helped enough. well on to the pictures...

here she is from the shop, after i had done a little work getting the brackets and manifold on







got her all done and she going in, thats my goofy fat self guiding her in.









my buddy getting the bolts in, it always helps to have skinny people around



The next morning, i was feeling a little sick



getting her done





my new electric fan



and here she is all done



and of course the comp cams sticker

 

That's it? she runs and we get pics.

You better tell people how it runs or you're gonna be put up for some

 

haha my bad, well shes running real good, i havent gotten on her to hard yet. gonna give her a decent break in period for i really romp on it. but so far smooth and i can already tell a power increase.
