Anybody seen this break on a 22RE?

[Volcom]

This is my parts truck for my 84 4Runner rockcrawler project (http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=14334.0)

I knew the engine wasn't running when I bought it but the guy never could tell me why.  My dad or I have never seen an engine break in that spot.  What would cause that bolt to break?  I'm glad I bought a new cam and adjustable cam gear now.

Oh yea, the rocker assembly needs a good cleaning

[Ramrod]

wow thats wierd make sure your distributer is alright too

[BoG-ToY]

thats what I was gonna say...make sure your distributer isnts seazed up or something

[Volcom]

I haven't checked the distributer yet.  I just unbolted it and removed it.  Is there a test to see if the distributor is trashed?  Thanks guys

looks like it may have been loose, allowing it to wobble some and breaking the bolt.
definitely a strange break though.

wow weird.......... but  my ? is whats with all the sludged  up valve train thats is nasty.  Makes me wana come overthere and tare apart your moter and hand U a tooth brush

[BCD]

was the oil ever changed in that motor?  'cause with all that sludge you never know what's going to break. Good luck!

[jimbo74]

did the bolt actually snap? or is it jsut beat to hell? whats the camshaft look like... it looks like someone overtorqued or undertorqued that bolt to hell

[Volcom]

The bolt is completely stretched and broken.  The cam is siezed up in the head.  I think some of the oil holes to the cam got clogged (imagine that  ) and stopped the cam dead in its tracks one day.

that assumption sounds quite reasonable by the look of that picture......

filter = $5 OEM Toyota
Oil    = $ 1.50 qt x 5
time  = 15 minutes

= your engine will love you long time.

Lubrication is cheap insurance

if your cam is siezed in your head you might not wanna use that one because its probably warped

Thanks for the heads up.  I have another head that I have cleaned up and did a 3 angle valve job that I was planning on using.

[unclejpl4x4]

please tell me your gona take apart the bottum end so i can sleep 2 night

[jimbo74]

im with ^^^^

with that much sludge in the engine, i would jsut get a block that wasnt nasty... that engine is toast, and using it is not a good idea....

[79coyotefrg]

if the block isnt cracked it will be ok

[79coyotefrg]

looks like stupid  blew a head gasket mixed the soup  till the head froze up,  im sure the valve guides are froze to the valves as well as the cam being locked

i ve seen it befor  but that truck was hydra locked

First off guys, THIS WASN'T MY FAULT, I BOUGHT THE TRUCK THIS WAY JUST FOR THE EFI STUFF (intake, fuel tank, wiring, all that stuff).  Sorry for the yelling but I take wayyyyyyy better care of my stuff than this guy did.  I have a rebuilt shortblock sitting in the garage so I don't plan on touching this block or head. 

The headgasket was fine, looked great!  I think the nasty oil sludge clogged some of the oil passages to the cam and the camshaft froze up.  I can't get it to turn at all. 

Glen, it's not nice to name call     

[skunkyoda]

looks like they got mud in the motor, with tar

[toymech]

  Id say the bolt was put in stripped by an impact wrench. Remember the roll pin in the cam holds it from spinning. Weird,very weird
