So I am wondering can I use a timing chain for the 20r (a dual row) and a cover for the 20r on my 87 22re?

I wore through the cover on mine and as long as I have to make changes, might as well upgrade where I can.

 

No, the timing cover is too tall. And no, you cannot simply "shave it down"

If there was a simple cheap way to do this, i doubt LC would make much money selling a conversion.

 

I just wanted to ask, some of the stuff I have been reading says you can use a 22r cover, others say you cant.

As far as LCE they make good stuff, no question about it, but some of their stuff is based on a name. Like a LCE valve cover, how is that worth the extra $.

Just trying to do it on the cheap, that's all

 

Takes time to make them valve covers look pretty

$160 is a pretty reasonable price considering the valve covers are basically NEW. Remember, not everyone holds things in the same value as others. One mans trash might be another mans treasure.

 

venerable words of wisdom from a toyota god?? i think so...

 

So it looks like I will be getting the LCE dual row conversion.

 

nah, it aint that hard to purdy 'em up
