...why buy when you can build?
I JUST picked my 22re up from the machine shop on Saturday. Here is a list of parts that I have put into it. Engeinbilders master kit as seen here http://engnbldr.com/ToyotaHotLicks.htm. Along with the oversized valves. A stage two cam from LC engineering(186.79 w/ shipping). My crank had to be ground and polished, whice was $75. I had a good machine shop (a one guy operation, great dude!) do all of my machine work. I disasembled the engine which saved me $50, but if I had to do it over again, I would just let him do it. I had my head rebuilt, and the valves installed. The head was resurfaced, and jetwashed. I had my block bored 1MM biger, it was hot tanked and jet washed. He reassembled, and painted the block. He even had to machine 33 grams out of one of my rods because I had taken one from another 22R and it was different. He reasembled the eintire engine, ang gave me a break in sheet. All and all, he charged me $803.00. If I wouldn't have had to put the new valves in, and rebuild the head and had him just compression check it to make sure it was OK, it would have saved me $255 plus $60 since I wouldn't have got the valves.! I see that engine builders cam's are only $80, but I heard that they arn't as good as the LC cams, there is another $100 in savings.All and all after all was said and done i spend 1360.79 on this engine. I think thats a fair price for what I had done. still TOO much to spend on a 4BANGER tho! PZ
