Generally yes. The machine shop should resize the big end (for the bearings on the crank) and push in new pin bushings for the wrist pins. You can also buy a set that's been machined and it might be...

It could be both engine oil and gear oil from the transmission. The front input shaft seal and/or seal housing gasket like to leak oil after so many years and miles. The clutch fork boot swells and...

Is it pinging when you fill with regular? A healthy, stock 22re runs as good or better on 87 octane as it does on anything else. Jumper the diagnostic port to put it in base timing mode and set your...

You can use a jackstand, a scissor jack, really anything that's the correct height and can hold the weight. A stack of lumber or even a round of tree trunk will do the job just fine.

My advice is to remove the lower halves of the engine mounts while you try and wiggle them back together. It's just a 14mm bolt and nut on each side. You'll probably need to raise and lower the front...

Crawl underneath and look at how they connect, it's a bolt on bottom and another bolt or nut on top. Spray pb blaster or similar on all the hardware a couple days before you try to remove them.
