    My timing chain let go last night with no warning, it has 290,000 on it It and smokes a little under a load. I dont know if I should pull that and rebuild? So, I need some advice on what to do. my brother has a 22r out of an 83 thats been sitting up for a few years,supposedly is semi built up a little. Money and time are a little bit of a facor here. as far as labor I have someone who is cheap. thank you guys for the input!

    WHAT DO I DO?

    Id say rebuild. Close to 300k on the motor i think its about time.

    Id say get the 22r and hook up all the EFI to it if possible.

    That or 2RZ or 3RZ swap..
