Does anyonev know if u can use a 86 crank on a 86 block and rods?

 

I'm not sure what you mean here^^^...

IF you mean, can you use a 'strange to you' crank from an 86 block on YOUR 86 block... you can... You need to see IF the machinist says that your rods can be used still. You'll possibly need the crank at LEAST resurfaced and then get the bearings according to whatever they have to do to the crank(20-20, 10-20, 20-30, whatever). Sometimes the rods attached to rod caps need to be re-rounded too.

IF, in fact, the post you made didn't mean to say "86" twice... well, then I'll wait and see, lol.

Best wishes on the parts hunt, man!

 

I meant 81 block lol

 

Ahhhh, ..... hehe... don't sweat it, typos happen LOTS, lol.

Well, this DOES pose a potential problem, as I remember... I'd have to check up on it...... But, as I remember, .........

The height of motor from deck to journals is different in 22R's under 84.... or 83, .... or 82? Can't remember which, ...I'll have to double check that in the Haynes for ya when I have time(Hopefully someone will chime in.... Just want to make sure you hold off on that until you're sure, ya know? I'm PRETTY sure the 81 is a different height block than the 86.

 

ok so i tore down the motor that was in my truck and found out its a 83 celica motor

 

I have been following along. Not sure which way you want to go with the motor now, but just keep at it and little by little it will come togther. Great job.

 

i think im just gonna rebuild the celica motor with parts from teh 81 truck motor, just putting the best parts from both into one

 

Hope you get it all good and running. Best of Luck bud. Might want to try and find a truck 22R tho. Just my opinion

 

whats the difference? i havent seen any difference between the truck and celica 22r

 

I wasn't sure if there was. If not then I know of a guy who has a 80s celica sitting after accident. Might try to get engine for rebuild for my truck

 

ohok, i think im using the celica block, head, crank, rods, and valvetrain, everything else is either new or from the other engine, gotta lot of pics from the teardown of both engines and pulling the celica engine

 

Hey 86, .... Dutch is a user on here that is slapping in a celica motor.... EFI. The difference in THOSE at least is a few connectors, varying resistance on the injectors from the 82 celica and 87 trucks injectors(ECU issues/possible problems is the focus on that one, lol)

Between an 81 22r Truck motor and 82 Celica 22r? Not sure at all if there's much if any of a difference. Is the 82 Motor Carb'd???? I thought they were all EFI in the Celicas by that year... Anyway, bring on the pics, homie! lol. I'm curious on a couple of things regarding your swap/use of certain things, etc., ya know? Wanna log it in my nugget, that way I can tell people what will/wont work, ya know?

Best wishes, sounds like you're working fast!

 

It was a efi motor swapped to carb, but since I tore it down it looks exactly the same inside as the 81 22r truck motor, the only difference is the celica motor had single row timing chain and the other had dual row, so I'm gonna use the celica block, crank, rods, valvetrain head, and oilpan. I'm using the cam from the truck since its a brand new cralwer cam, and I'm using the valvecover from the truck since I painted it up good, and I'm using the timing chain stuff, and I'm using new pictons, rings, new seals

 

^^^ Gotcha!

One thing I'm curious about... Are you using the same rocker pads that have been riding on this "NEW CAM" you're speaking of? I think they have to be broken in to the CAM a lil bit, if I remember correctly(that's if you're even 'changin' rocker pads, lol)...

Great news, and you're haulin, man!

PICS, PICS, PICS! lol.... Jk, take your time, 86!

 

Well I'm in the dentist getting my wisdom pulled rught now (gotta love phone internet) ill try and upload pics when I get home

 

day 1 of 22r build

ok so on day one i tore down the 81 22r i bought from a freind and found upon inspection that all bearings were bad in teh bottom end, crank was shot, head was melted from carbon buildup, piston number 1 was screwed up, and on pistons 1 2 and 3 the top ring was broke on all of them. anyways on to pics

 

day 2 of 22r build

on day 2 i just analyzed all the problems with the truck 22r i tore down on day 1. and i repainted and put a new sticker on a valve cover

 

day 3 of 22r rebuild

so on day 3 i pulled the celica motor out of my truck and tore it down to a bare block, found the head was warped and a headgasket blown. taking the best parts of both engines and putting them in the celica block.
