I need to rebuild my '85 22re, but i just don't have the time as i'm rebuilding everyone elses engines these days at work. I don't have much in the truck, and i am keeping the truck so i don't mind spending a little extra money on it. My engine has 303k and has never been rebuilt, so when i rebuilt it i was going to replace everything, and have it bored out, and the crankshaft turned. I calculated the parts & labor to come out at about $900. I was looking around online and i found a brand new long block with timing set & timing cover also, for $1,675(with a discount if bought through paypal, which i would do). It comes with steel chain guide, and metal head gasket. The engine is brand new, nothing rebuilt or reman'd in it. The block, crank, cyl head and everything are brand spanking new. I thought i could buy this engine, buy some new injectors & various sensors, and i would essentially have a brand new, not rebuilt 22re.

What are everyone's thoughts on spending this much money on an engine?

 

so youre saying someone cast a brand new 22re block? no. that motor is rebuilt too, just with new parts. and is way overpriced in my opinion.

 

I agree, about $4-500 overpriced. Unless it comes with a killer warranty, includes delivery and help with the install

Here is the link for it, it is from "Japan Engines".

 

You can build a heck of a lot nicer engine for that price. My $0.02.

 

i agree with him ^

 

Yeah but i don't really have the time to build one. I was just looking for options, i really want to be driving this truck right now. I may call in a favor on somebody with more time on their hands.

 

I just came across Japan Engines as well - you can buy a new shortblock from them for $1068.00 including shipping. but you have to have them deliver it to a business address. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyot...Q5fAccessories

 

Here is their sales vid for the 22 r/e http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj_3DMVKc7s

 

I've dealt with this company when I rebuilt my engine, good company. I have their crank and rods in my engine. Slightly high on the price IMO for the entire engine, but the customer service is outstanding.

7 year, 70k mile warrenty - they make a HP 3.0 that I am seriously considering

 

That might be worth it, if they have dyno proof, most of which don't. But it's also $325 more then the engine the O.P. had originally mentioned.

 

where are you located? OP? there is a shortblock rebuilt by a toyota master tech in my area for 495$. all npr and toyota factory parts...

 

I used the guys at sunwest.http://www.sunwestautomotiveengines.com/lb-toyota.html

 

how did they get a "*Brand New Block " ????????????

 

it is not a brand new block.... everything BUT the block is brand new...

i have looked into japanengine and heard good stuff.. 1300 for japanengines block shipped is not a bad deal. i almost went with that.. but i wanted to rebuild mine myself.. on their site they are 1300 with free shipping to a loading dock.. if you are local it is cheaper too... obviously.

 

i'm sure it's not a brand new block, but they advertise it as one :| also free shipping to me never applies

 

So hows the motor from sunwest, did you go stock specs?

 

I went witht the RV cam,new head,new timing cover package.If you go with Sunwest,make sure you follow his instructions for break in and to re-torque the head.No problems at all with mine.

 

Wow 7 years 70,000 miles.
