Ok..>SO I have been looking at some engines. Maybe I am just out if it but what is the difference between a 22re and a 22rec? Also i have seen short blocks and long blocks...What is the difference?
Thanks

 

C=cali emissions I believe

short block is rotating lower assy (ie block, pistons, rings, bearings, crank, etc)



long block is short block with the head. Sometimes includes timing cover, balancer, pan, and valve cover, depending on where you get it from.

 

I'm pretty sure as well that C is for CA emissions crap. Thats what my gutless wonder is. YEA!!!

 

Why would I have a 22REC that has only been in Colorado?

 

have you had it since new? Check your emissions sticker under the hood. Stranger things have happened!

 

I have not but I am the second owner.

 

Gotcha...Thanks for the info!

 

Now I am just waiting to sell my dang tahoe so I can buy a 4runner...unless i find one in the lower price range

 

check craigslist...I hear some going for low prices (and that's in Cali).

 

ill trade you my p/u for ur tahoe... lol

 

Well I would consider a trade+$ if it was an Extra cab...

The problem with Cali is i am in MI and Cali is a long ways away. but If I found the right one I would def fly out and drive it back!!

 

^ wrong way!
im planning on driving to MI to drop off a car and flying home...

 

If I had the choice i would much rather go Back to Cali rather then Michigan...Its cold...It was like 20 degrees thiss morning i think maybe even colder...And around 4 inches of snow!! I spent last summer in Cali and I loved it!!

 

Here is another quick question. Anyone know how much legroom 4runners have? 1st Gen of course. I am 6'4" and wonder how well i will fit. I have sat in 1980's pickups often and I am wondering wether they are the same or not.

 

Easier way to think about it is that 22REC is the 50-state version, 22RE is 49-state. So, the 22REC can be sold in any state. On the early 22REC engine, there is little if any difference to the 22RE versions. Later models had a few extra sensors (like the EGR temp sensor and a 2nd O2 sensor behind the cat) and probably some changes in the ECU programming.
