Hey guys, So I have an 86' 2wd 4-speed with a 22r at about 200k miles. I am going to do the timing chain and guides on it soon. For those of you that have done this service on your 22 engine I would like you to recommend me a QUALITY timing chain kit with metal guides. I've been looking at the heavy duty kits on eBay. Some include water pump, oil pump, timing chain cover, and any combo of them. Any experience with those kits and at ~200k should I just go ahead and replace the water and oil pump while I am at it? 85-95 Toyota 22R Heavy Duty Timing Chain Water Oil Pump | eBay Thanks! -Tyson
I've bought a kit from ENGNBLDR.COM Engine Parts Network never a problem with the parts. Allot of guys on yotatech.com recommend him so thats why i bought from him..Otherwise you could buy OEM There is nothing "heavy duty" about the parts from the link you posted. Just a gimmick its the same stuff you would get anywhere else. The only heavy duty I have ever seen is from LCEngineering. THey have a dual row timing chain set up, they sell OEM parts for what your looking to do as well
Another question. Why does engblder only have one steel backed guide and what all is included with his kit? I want to know exactly what I am getting if I buy from him. LCE (they show and tell all that is included) http://www.toyotacatalog.net/M1WebG...UniqueID=9587B2BE-4586-4F8D-A534-69F9E446E60D engblder TOYOTA PERFORMANCE
