Hi!
Yes, I have two versions. #TKS900 is complete with gears, tensioner, chain
and both rails, and gaskets/seals for the front end. They are $54.00.
The TKS900S/R is the same with the steelbacked driver's side rail, those are
$64.00.
Either version ships for $8 USA lower 48.
Paypal is this email address,
Thanks,
Ted(engnbldr)

Subject: timing chain kit


> hi i have a 94 yota pickup with the 22re motor. i was wondering if you had
a complete timing chain kit for the truck, can you please let me know
exactly what it includes and the pricing as well. thanks - steve




Does this sound right?? i looked on DoaRacing site and they sell a kit for 275$, whats the deal?? if its correct ill jump on the 64$ kit right now, and hopefully there wont be too much labor charge to install it.

Yeah the second one for $64 is the one you want. Lots of good things have been said about him (I think he is a member of this board) and his products.

If you are mechanicaly inclined, you can save on the labor abd do it your self.

i called the dealer, he said the chain, covers , tensioner, gears etcc is everything u need and its right around 300$ - parts only..... the doa racing site had there full set at 275$.... how can engnbldr be only 64$, something doesnt make sense to me.... can anyone explain?

grafix43

i just ordered the complete kit from enginebuilder for 73$ shipped! they just told me they can sell for so cheap cause they have a lil company that makes all the parts for them, i double checked and it does come with everything i need, so ÅÅÅÅ the dealer and its 300$! now all i gotta do is figure out how to install this bad boy properly lol

I put in a timing chain kit, cam and a front cover of theirs a few weeks ago for a buddy. Good parts, good service, good price and he didn't mind a few questions on the phone either. All in all an awesome vendor!

I'm happy with the timing chain kit I bought from him. Great guy to deal with. I recently bought one of his crawler cams for my '86 4runner and it works really well. I haven't heard anything negative about him yet.

grafix43

i have never actually gotten it installed yet... since im not mechanically inclined enough to do it myself, the best i could find was 470$ for labor, which is from a reputable company who works on toyotas, they are called inland trucks(they make ats suspension).... anyways im working on saving the 470$ rite now hope to get it done soon- and the kit is sitting in my room all the pieces look like great quality!

hub_01_69

thanks for the input...i think i'll be ordering my kit tonight i can't wait to get it installed...my timing chain is making a horrific racket til the oil pressure builds...is $470 bout the right amount to charge for the timing chain installation? a very reputable mechanic in my area quoted me $150 for the labor...

Thanks

Los Gatos?

I have ordered from endbldr a headgasket, head bolts, timing kit, front cover, oil pump, water pump. I have not yet seen the parts (I'm in michigan and the parts are in PA) yet, but when I go home this week I am going to start my install, I've heard NOTHING but good things, check out his ebay ratings!!!! steel backed is the way to go, $275-300 is a RIP off! I paid ~240 for everything, I think he cut me a decent deal!

I bought the RV cam and some rockers for my '91 22RE and had a bad experience with these parts. I think I got a bad batch or something. Anyway, he responded as a good professional should and just told me to ship them right back to him...no problem. Lots of help and advice in very timely e-mails. Other than getting the bad stock, I had a good experience with him.

150$ for labor that sound like a really good price... shops ive talked to said its about at least a 4-5 hr job cause u gotta remove so much ˟˟˟˟... i think u gotta drain the radiator take it off, take other ˟˟˟˟ off etc.... sio how much should i be looking to pay for labor? is 470$ a rip off...??? dealer said 1 grand labor....

The guide on the driver's side of my truck is completely gone, and the chain is acting like a chainsaw on my cover. Just found that out yesterday while adjusting my valves.

Protrux recommended I get a steel guide, so the guide doesn't disintegrate again, cause now I have to get all the plastic chunks out of my oil pan.

So the TKS900S/R has the steel guide?

Glenn

Yeah, but looks like he is sold out.
