Hey guys i own a 93 toyota pickup and i put anti-freeze in last night and oil came to the surface of the radiator and i checked my motor oil and have anti-freeze in my motor oil i drained both my radiator and oil pan it all happened when my heater quit about two miles from home it didnt over heat and wasn't wasn't knocking and i know it could be a cracked head also they have the same sympoms.can you tell a differance between them. i hope its just the head gasket i would like to save the trouble of pulling the motor out. Thanks

22rs are known for blowing head gaskets, you ran out of heat cause ya ran the motor out of water. pull the head and have it pressure checked.(worth the money) if all good reassemble with new gaskets

 

22re's are definitely not "known" for blowing head gaskets, you might be thinking about the 3VZE. 22re's can blow head gasket's if they are overheated due to the cast iron block and aluminum head. I would have to say if anything the 22re is "known" for being a reliable, almost bulletproof little 4 cylinder. It is arguably the best engine Toyota has ever engineered. That said, it could be a blown head gasket, cracked head or maybe your timing chain wore a hole through the cover letting water into the oil.

My current truck is a 22re and it is the third one I have owned and none of them had any issues or blown head gaskets and the previous 2 had well over 200K miles. Good Luck

 

They are? .........


...Thought that was the 3VZ-E

 

^^Either way the OP definitely has issues with his 22re..
