Ya I got at least 4-5 months before she needs to be running. I got tons of time to rebuild the whole engine.

Found out its two rods which were causing the knock. So should I just order a master rebuild kit for the block along with new rods and bearings? Should I also have the crank inspected and machined if necessary? I'm definitely having the timing belt/chain and guides, etc. and the whole head...

Yes I did!

Well, what I think happened is that the timing skipped and then it bashed a few valves and damaged something causing the oil pump to get seized with metal shavings and then it may have over heated and caused the knock :P

Yeah, I'll just be getting a cherry picker and take her out of there. Was hoping this would be a simple head job :/ Ah well. Do rods and bearings usually go on 22re's? I've always heard these are super reliable engines. It was quite odd to me that the bottom end would go first.

I'll have to take the block out soon and check her out I guess. Was hoping I wouldn't have too :P but oh well.

So, I recently bought a simple 88' 4runner with the 22re engine (5spd std tranny) a while ago for just under $600 bucks because the owner thought it was knocking or ticking and that the timing chain possibly skipped. I jumped on it since it sounded like an easy project and I'd rather drive that...
