Topic: Where to get rebuilt 22r

[Caboose]

Hey guys.  Ive been looking around for a 22r for a while.  my parents just told me that they would help me out on buying one for xmas.  so i figure ill go buy a rebuilt 22r for a company.  Any reccommendations on good companies that will back up their work around Fresno?

I dont know what year you truck you have but Ive only seen rebuilt engines for 85 and newer.

sorry its an 81.

Yeah good luck! you can get a rebuild kit from ENGNBLDR if he still sells them for early 22rs. You also better hope your head is good because nobody sells new or rebuilt ones anymore

i can get a rebuild kit for it.  i dont have the time to do it.  if one were to rebuild one tho, any good legit machine shops around here?

Another place that does 22Rs.  $995 plus $300 core and shipping of about $100 I'd guess.

Go talk to Dave Hiatt  machine shop in clovis. 
A kit engine for a 22r is around $975.00 less if u do a lot of the work ur self.
he is located around the corner and south of extreme off road.
and just east of the bar there on railroad ave.


If u want a totally rebuilt with warrenty try these guys in placerville.  they are about the cheapest engines around with a warrenty.  Everybody else around here wants at least $1500
for a long block.

Sadly, everybody I've ever talked to who's dealt with them.  Could shrug off a couple bad deals, but it seem too consistent.
