22RE 3RZ Stroker Idea

JBM715 has a flywheel for me
ordered the LCE adjustable cam gear... the black one for $90
And I'm going to go with some sealed power pistons... cheap set but they look like just what I need. Anyone use them? Pros/Cons? I like the idea of cast pistons, because of the heat distribution and the sealing factor.
Machine Shop is gonna charge me $185 for the balance job on the crank. $115 for the regrind/polishing. and another $115 for the block machining.
can't wait for the parts to hit my doorstep.

almost forgot.... Some of the other parts I already have...
261 C Crawler cam
stock 22re head '85 year
nitrided valves (stock diameter)
I think while I have the old engine apart I'm going to port the head myself. (save a few bucks)

Yeah I know, Dyno would be nice.
Really not a lot of upgrades to the stock motor before it blew, though. Just had the head done 350 mi. before I shot #3 rod through the drivers side of the block. I do know however that the Crawler cam (at least for me) was a huge torque improvement on the stock motor.
So that, plus all the other little goodies I plan on, I should be able to climb straight up a brick wall Just kidding, but not really

Oh yeah...
If this really works out ill get the machine shop to make a run of the pin bushings...
price to be determined...
if that truly is the "ONE*" part to make it go then this could be a good deal.
22r block and 22re pistons OR 22re block AND pistons with a ($$$) super head gasket.

Ok just ran into a small snag... but it will be fine...
rear main seals...
3RZ:
Shaft Size: 3.465"; Housing Bore: 4.173"; Seal Width: 0.335"; Seal Outside Dia: 4.184"; Seal Lip Material: FluoroElastomer; Housing Material: Steel; Max Temp: 400°F; Min Temp: -40°F; Seal Type: 320; Press Fit
Rear
22r/re:
{#9031180004} Bore=3.946"; Width=.335"; Shaft=3.150"; Outside diameter=3.9520IN
but I will have the machine shop neck down the 3rz seal surface to match...
the snouts/front seem to be the same... harder to find the specs but here they are
22r/re:

Ok Crank and rods came in just now.....
looks like i will have to get the crank seal plate machined out for the 3RZ seal...
not enough clearance from bolt hole to edge of seal surface to machine out....
still looks do able...
need to pull my old motor out to check on some other things.

Looking at the Main seal housing, there should be enough to get it machined out and still have a little meat left to hold it in place... but not a whole lot...
may have to go down to the napa and look through their paper catalog and get some thing by spec.... same shaft size but reduced outer diameter... I don"t know about that one though...
usually the seal companies require about a 1/4 inch over shaft size (give or take a little) for the seal spring and steel and all that stuff.
may be find one thats more like an O-Ring with a steel backing plate on it

Engine block
Went to go get the block today...
Drove 2.5 hrs. and the block they had was the wrong one... the laser block
but luckily the yard down the street from them had a whole engine for the same price
I need to tear it apart and see which parts are still good... anyone need some 22R engine parts?

Next order of business...
submitted the conn. rod to the machinist to make the new bushings... another small snag
needed to find out the Grade of bronze to use... turns out I found it online, at a metallurgy site of all places. SAE 660 bronze... not cheap by the pound...
but I found on the same search a place that sells the "bars" for a decent price
Hole cored bronze .5 in. ID by 1-1.75 in. OD in lengths for $26 and up depending on OD and Length
So anyone else interested in doing this? I'm gonna have 8 of them made to start, just incase someone else wishes to join me in this madness
