i have a haynes manual, its only good for ripping pages out and starting a fire to keep you warm when your toyota is broke down.

no seriously it was a waste of 20$

good tools? you mean a 12mm socket lol, rebuild the whole truck with that thing.

any brand rebuild kits to stay away from?

 

yes i can! my plan never involved a new motor lol!!

 

Honestly, i think it cleared up a lot for me and my truck and stuff of the such, i hate the vagueness but its helped me a lot. And yeah you're gonna need a good 12mm socket. Hahaha

 

vagueness? you mean...

Chapter 74:

Removing your pistons.

Part 1. Its in the engine.

Installation is reverse of removal.




lol vague it is. im trying to source another motor atm. after my leg gets done kicking myself for running it low on oil, ill use the other one to kick myself fr passing up a brand new rebuilt 22-re under 5k miles and the entire truck with a starter issue for 300$.

 

Hey man, dont be so down. Everyone makes mistakes, we probably made the identical

mistake! I knew my oil pump was going bad, but I didnt really bother with it in my old

threw a rod shortly after.

Is your engine still running? Is it just a rod knock? If so you can just replace the rod in

the cylinder and hopefully that will solve the problem. I had a rodnock in the 2nd cylinder

I took off the oil pan, and took out the rod, and had it replaced along with new oil pump.

I would say see how bad the rod knock is first, and go from there. And dont worry if

youre not devising a rebuild plan yet, i waited 3 months just to do my rod. I had no

motivation to do it, but in the end, you gotta do what ya gotta do.

Engine builder.com is an awesome site for 22RE parts.

 

i also think lc engineering has alot of 22r parts might wanna check them out. i would also shop around on craigslists 22r's are not uncommon around here. good luck on what ever ya do man

 

im still debating. biggest thing is i dont want to put a new wimpy 22re back in there. but i cant afford much else,, unless i sell my ski, and i love my ski.

if i do sell the ski, i could do everything i want to the truck and not worry about it.

so here i am, ramming my head into the wall.

lol this was my DD so i really f'd myself for being a moron.

 

haha to many choices

 

Ok well I'm working on trying to DD my wifes old blazer. Has a problem where the door flys open. U know no big deal. Lol

If all goes to plan I'd like to SAS and 1UZ it but who knows.

Still gotta lot of re searchn to do. I wana keep it auto so I got to c if my tranny will work and then 5.29s and some det lockers.

Still thnkn if I wana drop that much in it.

My wife loves mud boggin so she will be all for it. Until I explain how much

 

Well I talked to the wife...

She said what do you need to fix your truck...
Me: a motor
Her: well why don't you get one
Me: b.c I wanna put a 1uz in it. And sas it
Her: just pick a motor and put it in don't go doing all that other stuff
Me: but I wanna sas it
Her: w.e idc its ur truck

I'm gunna c what all needs to be done.

 

a 1uz would be nice, but wouldn't it be much easier to just get a 5vz (3.4L)?

 

It would but I miss having v8 power. And plus if I'm going through all this why not?

The 1uz will cost around the same and be 10x better

 

are you trying to keep it all toyota??? case it seems like you know alot bout chevys so thats always a option and it would be prolly cheaper than the 1uz

 

I've thought abt that but the mpgs on the 1uz look a lot better than what I was getting before...

8mpg suck lol and its somethn new. I haven't completely made my mind up so nutn is set in stone as of now.

We will c as the money starts coming in

 

I'd like to eventually like to do a 1uz swap. I ALMOST had my hands on a 94' SC400 4.0 V8 but then the guy just stopped answering my calls I think when i swap i'm going to do a 2JZ that's another option for you, i know you said you wanted a V8 but the 2JZ (straight 6) is one of the best engines by Toyota IMO.

 

na you know what sucks getting 8-9 mpg in a slow yota!!! when i had no cats or muffler and y pipe thats what i got. lol

 

Blah blah

 

I'd say SAS it, and go back with the 22r and the correct gears for the tire size.

 

Blah blah

 

V8 it is then, lol... i'll be watching this one. (go chevy smallblock and build a 383 stroker! hehehe)
