Well I've only put this off for about 5 years. Finally got the finances and desire to to get r dun.
pulled the motor. Took about 3 hours just piddling around.
Cleaning and painting parts, supposed to get a complete 22rte gasket set from LCE tomorrow. I can start assembling the rest of the motor then.
No boring, no decking, everything was in really nice condition so I'm just going back to standard, with the exception of the CT26 turbo upgrade. Going to take the ARP studs from this motor and use them in the white 4runner I'm keeping. Getting new head bolts for this motor. Trying to do it right while keeping cost down, because I'm selling this red truck.
both trucks are 22rte so, in using the best parts on the one I'm keeping.
Was hoping to get it done this weekend, but the fish are biting, pre spawn soooo

UPS just delivered a bunch of LCE parts.
Garrett turbo, down pipe, top mount exhaust manifold that looks nothing like my old one that cracked. This one is WAY nicer and better quality.
Well I made a big rookie mistake.
put the spacer for the flex plate on the outside of the plate, rather than next to the crank shaft. Had to pull the motor back out and reposition the spacer.
only cost me about 6 hrs of work.
Good news is that it's back in bolted up and ready to install the A/C, alternater, stab the dizzy. Hook up All the lines add coolant, oil, and fire it up.
