I though it was my oil pan, but come to find out it wasnt. It is the bottom of the timing cover that is leaking and anybody know of any good stop leak stuff that i can use until i can get it fixed wit a new gaskets it a 22re.

 

No stop leak is going to fix it. Quick gimmicks will end of costing you more in the long run. The only fix is to reseal the timing cover. It is really not that hard and you'll learn a bunch. If your new to this stuff, do some research, get a few tools (sockets, torque wrench) and go for it. Expect to make a day of it.

 

I have done alot of research and i have to take the radiator and just about everything on the front end of the truck to get to the cover off.

 

2WD or 4WD?

Cowboy up... You got a job in front of you... Or sell the truck.

 

better yet go to the dealer and have them do it

Its not that bad. I just did my first solo timing job on a 22re and a 22r. Follow the FSM and you will be fine. There are tons of great write ups on it. Iamsuperbleeder as well as a few others have great info and pictures on the timing chain.

 

what year is it? if its a second gen i know there not that hard even a newbie could get it dont in a day. just remeber if you pull that front cover off make sure you losen the oil pan so you dont ruin the oil pan gasket. if you want more info just let me know ive done several. also what ever you do dont over tighten the front cover bolts they strip very easy!!

 

its a 1992 toyota 4x4 wit auto trans.

 

not saying you should read or follow my thread (because it's not finished yet), but I also have a 1992 22re AUTO.....so Bud, it's apples to apples here.

 

wait a minute...

Bottom right, if you're looking at it, of the timing cover?

Has anybody worked on it recently?

Could be either missing or need to tighten the bolt that's on the back side of the cover... Just under the WP outlet...

 

thanks man i am going to try to do the work my self over a long weekend, with some buddys and beer and i hope we put it back together right.

 

i have owned this truck for 2 years now and i have not had the turn a nut on these trucks besides generally maintence.
