"So I feel the rocker as the cam rotates completely around from the bottom of the base circle around the to base circle - one complete revolution of the camshaft?" Yes, if you take the valve cover off again it wouldnt hurt. Yes crank engine over by hand. Aftermarket cams are weird. Ive seen alot of weird high and low spots in cam lobes. I always try to adjust to the highest spot of the lobe where there isnt supposed to be lift. Just see if its too tight when its not supoosed to be. Also, u have adjustable timing gear? Make sure it hasnt moved...
I told him to back all the rocker arms way way off and redo the comp test.
Gnarly, bestgens finds are mutual, so mutual that we actually diagnosed one together... This is the reason we keep saying alot of the same stuff
Makes complete sense. The sidejob we did (les shwab) that had 2 dead holes after you did a new cylinder head, we found they had no/low compression(remember my chitty compression gauge). It also ate its speedy sleeve and oil was everywhere.
Slabzilla... I like the trick.How often do these heads (aftermarket) have a valve seat, valve guide fail? It went about 26,000 miles after the rebuild. Although it was burning a quart of oil every 600 miles, it ran great, good throttle response. Only got about 17.5 miles per gallon on 87 octane.I was surprised to see the coolant pumping out the radiator filler!! ... head gasket? ... head gasket was from engnbldr's kit. Shoulda gone by my gut.... Fel-Pro!!Gnarls.
Come on Gnarly!Head gasket needs to come out of a Toyota package. You still haven't learned this yet. Cheaper is not better.
sorry to hear about all of this gnarly.
Gnarly, you need to start a thread on "How NOT to rebuild an 22R"
Excuse Me but I believe We were promised some testing results?Today even.
I think he kind of has............JK, Gnarly, I think you got some poor quality parts and messed up something during the assembly.
From the start you had oil leaks and consumption, valve issues, and now a bad HG, something went south had to be bad from the start with the machining you had done locally and/or with the assembly, it can't all be the parts, if it is, you would have to be the least lucky guy on the planet, well at least the least lucky Toyota owner on the planet.
Hey Gnarls, sometimes the machine shop does the incorrect RA for the rings they or you supply. Chrome rings require a different RA than others, etc. A head gasket, no matter who makes it can have defects that can fail right out of the box. You'll spend a boat-load of coin having 22RE do a tear-down when you should probably just take the head off yourself, look at the cyl. walls and see if it looks like there might be a broken ring gouging the wall somewhere to go with the blown head gasket. I'd change out the rings anyway, just to be sure, if the head gasket doesn't show a leak from an oil passage as well as a coolant passage
Here we are 60 pages in on a rebuild of a 22reI just have to do it. I cant help myself gnarls.3rz
A 3rz and 22r .... I embrace the power and obd2 capabilities of the rz engines. Darn a 22re and it's useless diagnostics counting blinks of the cel and using a paperclip to jump pins. Just my $.02 it may be worthless.
