1988 22RE Timing Chain Replacement
Hello Everyone,
I have a 1988 Toyota 4x4 Pickup with timing chain issues. I pulled the valve cover and looked down the front of the engine. The left side guide is missing ( I'm sure it is in the pan,) I did roll the engine over and put the crank on TDC. The cam sprocket appears to be off one tooth. There is no coolant in the oil. Where is a good place to get the needed replacement parts? I see the enginebuilder guy is now retired. The engine is stock. Its my daily driver and has been for 23 years. Please help!! I need to get this fixed before the snow hits. I am in NW Kansas.

Yes, I'd opt for a metal guide on the tension side, for sure. ( That's the longer straight one) Plastic is fine for the return side.
I don't know that there a Japanese made component kit that supplies metal guides.
I'd probably buy that metal guide separately.
