........im gonna use factory cam and rockers, new springs , and retainers, head studs from arp, gonna port and clean up the head myselfill take some pictures as i never done this before. lc has oversized valves taht only need clearance work and a performance valve job my buddy owns a machine shop and he is teaching me to do a complete valve job on my own stuff in case i mess up port match to the gaskets and basicaly keep the bottom end to a stock speck, but balanced out and deburred = bombproof hopefullyany other suggestions while im in there sould be good. im thinking of getting total seal rings and use stock pistons as long as they are in good shape.
i hear you, I'm looking to improve breathing, maximizing hp , of course the best combination for power, efficiency, durability m and emissions is stock, so i was thinking to keep the stock cam. i really want a cam though , changing out rockers is gonna cost me to much though
im most def. gonna go with a toyota gasket. i pulled the head off the motor in my garage, it was bored .50 over i knew it had a rebuild 20k ago, i still cannot believe my bro in laws parents spent 3000 rebuilding a motor in a truck worth $100 bux lol!!!the motor turns over so nice, the cylinders are smooth , no ridge at the top, just alot of carbon, and he did not take care of it at all. the cooling system had so much crap inside. the passages were so fouled up where they meet the gaskets.so im gonna take the head to get started tomorrow, im gonna pull the t-chain and do that again and basicaly pull everything but the pistons. my Q is why were some of the head bolts covered with oil and they smelled chard bad!also what is the best method for getting the gunk out of the water passages?or should i pull the crank , and pistons , tank the block , hone and reassemble?
actually i never have rebuilt 22rs my experience is with vw motors, for sure well developed aftermarket cams are better performing, but there is the trade off of fuel milage. and longevity and the block was not bored .50 over, its actually .020 over the pistons have a marking of .50 which is next size overbore i think. i just found out the head is a china casting, the valve seats on the exhaust side was so pitted in only 20 k miles. I'm torn if i should do a mild port job or just slam it on my current block in the truck get it running and build up the other one with a Toyota head slowly.does anyone here have a Chinese head that has lasted a good long time?also the turd that rebuilt the motor last tightened #3 exhaust to .005 thou and it wrecked the cam and the rocker arm!!lucky my bud has an extra 22re cam EM . ill go to pick-a-part on sat to find a used rocker. bumbed out that i have a aftermarket head.
cool, never thought the trunnion bearings could do that. i never measured preload when i did the rebuild, original was one thick top bottom both sides . when i swapped in the new axle housing i just did the one thick and one thin as recommended by most.should i take out the thin shim on top?
thanks for the alignment tip ill check it out . ( i get horizontal lol, do i come off that dense?)
