I think Marlin mentioned something about a rebuild kit.  I know they are offering rebuilt engines

I was an automotive machinest for 8 years, and have rebuild many Toyota engines.
Lately, we have been soooo busy, I have not had very much time for engine work.....

Engnbldr.com has a good reputation among the Toyota 4x4 discussion groups. I've gotten some good parts and good service from engnbldr. You can get a rebuild kit with 4 pistons ,pins, rings, oil pump, timing chain kit and gaskets for about $250. He's got good cams too.

Ok you guys ordered pistons and rings from summitt
But I still need to know can I put a double row timing chain in a 84 22R?  And does any one make a good cam for calif smog?

[84runner]

Not sure about the details on the Double roller, but TRD, makes a good cam. At least I think so, cuase I run one

[brainlessfool]

lc got ya covered for the duel chain swap.  napa for the cam.

Engnbldr.com has a good cam. The double row chain eats a some horsepower. I can't remember how much though. Can any 22R afford to lose any power?  And when have you seen a single row chain fail on any 22R that was pushing less than 200hp.

By the way, what kind of pistons did you get from Summit and how much did you pay?
