Wondering what else i should change on my first timing chain swap second engine, no clue actual mileage

 

What ever looks like it needs to be replaced while your under the hood, I guess, that's what I would do...

 

but thats everything

 

talk to Ted at Engnbldr

For sure replace:

Chain
Guides
Tensioner
Gaskets
Main seal

 

main seal?

 

aka Front Crank seal, aka Harmonic Balancer Seal, aka Timing cover front seal

 

another question do i have to remove the head when I do this the book and all data says should but. Is it necessary

 

Head removal not necessary:

Head removal is not technically necessary, but I always do and replace the head gasket at the same time.

22RE motors are resiliant, but Toyotas specs call to replace the timing setup and head gasket at a regular interval. Those are the two weak points on a 22R/E motor, so if you replace them at the same time, the motor will last for a very long time.

 

how long does it take without taking off the head something i can do after work or a weekend project. I work at a shop and its estimated time is 7.5 hours with head removal

 

So Im doing the timing chain as we speak and Im trying to figure out how to get the back alternator bracket bolt off. Its being blocked by the power stearing. Do i have to remove this?

 

Nm im a dumb ass
