I have searched high and low on yota tech for. success storys of 100k or even 50k. Read a lot of storys of 22res failing after 10-20. anyone with real facts please reply..

 

I have no facts, but from what I have read... a low mile stocker is better than a rebuilt motor.

I believe this is due to the builder himself. If the motor is built within spec, it would be just as good

On my other board(s) some people have 100,000 on high HP motors... but these people know motors.

 

It all depends on who is doing the rebuilding. If you go for the "best deal out there", then you have nothing more than chineese parts for the internals. Yea, those don't last.

I had mine rebuilt with OEM everything. Yea it cost me more in parts than most complete rebuilds out there, but I want another 200K on this motor. You get what you pay for.

It's simple, OEM is made to last. Chineese parts last maybe 30-50K and then they go. That is why you hear of so many rebuilds that start to have problems around that milage.

 

You also very seldom hear from the people that the engines are holding together !!

It is the ones that go boom that you hear people complain about.

I don`t drive all that much any more my commute to work is only 5 miles the long way so with 50 miles to work a week and the other driving might add up to another 100 miles.

At that rate it will take longer then 6 years to get 50,000 miles on my rebuilt engine with Engine Builder parts

 

DING!


There are also HUGE variations of rebuilds ranging from using Toyota bearings that match the bore used upon machining, break-in procedures, to how accurate the Torque wrench used was.

If money was no object I'd start every rebuild with a stock low mileage crank and use the bearings that match the number on the block.


And oh yeah, Toyota ONLY piston rings.

It's my understanding some other manufacturers use different metallurgy and that does NOT hone well with the Alloy Toyota used for the block.

But as always, that's spending other ppl's money... The reason most rebuilds do not last... Cheap parts and labor.
