22re idles a little rough and smells rich
upon start up my 85 runner with 22re smells rich and idles really rough. i have'nt had any check engine lights yet but it sounds like an O2 sensor might be heading south. any other ideas or opinions would be appreciated! overall the truck still runs great so im not to worried thanks

Does that stuff really work? and is that the brand?
I have a 87 4Runner and replaced my engine last week and did my timing chain this week. I dont have the distributor down stat yet but I in general have heard a little tap from my 22RE's I have owned. I want to know is this common. This one is quieter but my previous engine had a louder hissing tap that eventually blew my engine I believe, Havent diagnosed it yet, thought it was valves but the crank sounded bad in the end.
I was jw if anyone can confirm they also have this tap and if it is really bad?

seafoam is awesome stuff
all toyotas have that tap, especially the 4 cylinder 22r based ones... mine has it too..... its the valves..... most older cars in general have some sort of tap to them...

do a search on sea foam. there is a recent post about ten pages long with people ranting and raving how great it is. Very little negative feed back. Yes that is the name brand. I got some at car quest for 5 buck a can. Careful I heard of some people damaging their engine (throwing a rod) by sucking too much in at once. It worked great for me and it is cheap.

so is sea foam or bg 44k better?
Or what are the differnces?
How does one get sea foam into the 22RE, through what tube?
Also I have seen ads for RESTORE. Is that stuff any good?

I've used the "Engine Restore" and like it. It really seems to do like it says. Seems to run a little more evenly. A couple of my buddies have used it and say they notice a difference.
