Another good thing to get....

Magnetic parts trays. The 6" round from Harbor Freight are about the cheapest I have found unless you can find them in a garage sale someplace. Parts go in, but they don't fall out.

here you go. Get one of Ted's (engnbldr), kits from ebay. You can get the whole kit w/cover and steel backed guides for less then $100 shipped. Then call Ted for some new 22re valve adjustment screws and add them to the timing kit shipment. So you only pay for one shipment. I am sure with those miles the adjusters are worn out and could use replacement.

engnbldr ebay auctions


Then use this to help with the repair.
22re FSM

Use it as a guide.
Short cuts along the way are.
1.Use a long breaker bar on the crank pulleyresting against the ground or frame (long enough that it can't spin without touching the ground or frame), remove the coil wire, and give the motor a short crank so breaks the crank bolt loose.

2.
You don't have to remove the oil pan, just remove the 2 bolts under the timming cover. (when you put it back on make sure all of the old gasket is cleaned off and you coat both surfaces well with FPIG or toyota black sealent).

3.Do not drain the oil until after all of the work is done, that way anything that falls down into the oil pan will drain out with the oil.
Remember the top timing cover bolt in the oil valley under the Distributer gear (always forgoten and hard to see because of the oil in it).

4.Put marks on the head and distributer housing to line each other up when you put it back in.

5. A good way to make sure you remember how things go back together is to use a digital camera for things like Distributer reference how it was positioned yata yata yata.

If you have any questions let us know I for one have pulled my timing cover 3 times and can do it in 4hrs now if I have to.

Get some rubber gloves and med and large size zip lock baggies to hold blots and clams and such label each bag as to where the parts came form. the gloves will help keep some of the grease out of your nails......the next one is the most important......
PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES.....you can not have too many for every angle as you start the tear down.....they go along way in the build up.......Good luck
