Thought I would do an update on the 94 4runner. The motor I pulled from the crawler ended up loosing its oil and threw a rod out of the block.
So I was out of a car again. This being the 4th motor that has blowen on me I decided to quit being cheap and bought a new one. I had reduilt my own and bought a cheap rebuild locally and they were all junk.
I did some looking and the one brand that kept coming up with high recomendations is 22RE preformance. It took 6 months to get the motor and after putting it in it was not firing on the 1st cylinder. After trouble shooting a lot of things and regular pjone calls to 22RE preformance they had me ship the motor back to check it under warranty. It ended up having a bent intake valve. The motor runs great and has almost 7, 000 miles on it and runs strong.
I would get another on for my 85 but they are a bit spendy. I may also want to get it to the point that it needs an engine before I buy it and it will sit unused.
