Hi guys long time lurker not too many posts though . I am getting ready to rebuild my engine and I was wondering what you guys think of the engnbldr.com parts and service and experience ?? I like the look of the prices and everything seems good but I figured you guys would know better then me .Thanks in advance for all replys

 

Do a search for him... lots of post and great reviews.

 

thanks will do !!!

 

I am building my long block with a bunch of engbldr parts... with a lot of help from NorCal Performance

 

HOW THE HE** DO I GET AHOLD OF THIS ENGBLDR GUY??? Ive called and the phone is always busy and ive emailed with no reply !!! im starting to get turned off and i was so excited to get started on this thing .

 

I UPDATE I GOT THROUGH ON THE PHONE !! Todd is very friendly and helpful and I am very excited to get this going !! Im gonna do the hi-per head and total engine kit with crawler cam ..I hope it wakes this little sucker up pretty good !!

 

engnbldr is definitely the way to go. good service good parts good prices

 

65,000 miles on my rebuild all EB. Still runnin' like a champ!
My 4Runner now has 270,000 miles total on her.

 

Ok so I got the engine out and my engine guy Has it all torn apart and ready for machine work bore 40over and regrind the crank and whatever other magic he has in mind . My stock head was toast I was planning on the hi-per engbldr head but since money is getting real tight im going to save the hundred dollars and get the stock replacement head , I also planned on getting my injectors balanced and cleaned but im gonna wait and see how it runs first . I picked a bad tinme for my engine to lose pressure hahaha but i am excited to get it back . I fugure with a fresh motor and engnbldr cam and header it should run alot stronger then it was . Ill keep you all updated as i progress .

 

Is there a reason you're going 40 over? Seems like I read a thread where Ted @ engnbldr said that was the absolute maximum for most 22's.

 

yeah my engine guy said my cylinders are egg shaped big time and to make them round again thats what im gonna need . I wasnt too thrilled about it but what the heck ill have a bigger motor now right hahaha

 

im 40 over and its nice

 

Hey EFI, ...

Read up on the .40 over... Not saying it's a bad thing, per-say, ....but compression goes down, not up, as I remember. I decided to just find a used/good condition short block.... I got mine from Japanese Truck Dismantlers for 150$ with even the oil sender, knock sensor, crank, all caps, etc., on there(so now I have extras, lol). Most yards, if you're friendly with them and come to a pre-agreement, like I did, will let you bring it back if it's said that it has to be bored too much or crank is needing 20-30 grind..... Mine only needed 10-10 and is running like a champ around 5K later.(with a 261 Cam from engnbldr/Hastings-USA Rings/Eskie Racing Springs/Sankei Bearings/.20 over block and very minimal decking(really just resurfacing) ).

Best wishes, man!

 

i got the 268 cam from them i went 40 over when i warped the head it was already 20 over so i figured y not i cant recall what pistons i put in it though

 

I understand that but my engine guy is awesome and has assured me he would do what it takes to make iT all right .. He was mentioning doing something to the block with the timing cover on it so the surfaces match so I'm thinking that's what he was referring to .

 

Here's a good read by Ted.

got the motor back !!!!!!

 

Lock and Load, man! haha.

Nice Christmas Present there, eh?

 

Dude it almost killed me having to pay for this thing to get rebuilt right now with all the money Ive spent on xmas but it was done and I didnt wanna ask my motor guy to hang onto it until after new years .lol. I am excited to get started on it though. I decided Im going to use the stock ex manifold until feb when I can afford the header and having the exhaust fixed up to meet up with the header . Im thinkin I should still feel a big difference over the old motor even with out the header the new pistons and head and Engbldr.com cam should give me some seat of the pants excitement .lol. WISH ME LUCK ITS BEEN 6-7 years since ive done one of these .Rick
