4Runner Kid's Build #2

[4runner_kid]

Look's like i'm back and ready to build another 4Runner. Those of you who aren't sure who i am, here is my first build thread. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/classic-t4rs/83426-my-1992-toyota-4runner-slow-build.html

This one will be a little bit different. I picked up a 91 4Runner for $2,500. 22RE, 5 speed 4x4. Owner said 80,000 mile's on rebuild. Has LC header and a flowmaster exhaust. Here are picture's.

Driving her around for awhile, on the third day the head gasket blew. So guess what? Looks like it's time to do a top end rebuild. Here it start's.

Water in the Intake Manifold runner's.

Intake Manifold removed.

Water also in the head, DUH.

Bottom side of valve cover. YUM

Head removed.

Let's take a look at the head gasket it's self.

Yeah that doesn't look right.

Good luck on the rebuild! I'm sure it's going to look pretty amazing once it's done. I'm just in awe of people like you who can tear apart an engine, or anything in the engine compartment for that matter and make it like new again.

Nice truck! Hope your head job goes easier than mine - I just did that for the first time, wasn't fun.

Engnbldr has awesome prices and support on your top end kit - mine was $66 shipped, got here in 2 days, and every time I called him with questions he answered the phone himself and wasn't in any hurry to hang up. Dude rocks.

Nice to see ya back!

Little more engine bay room with the 22res than the v6 huh?. Haha

Glad to be back in the 4Runner gang! Alot more room, but everytime i own a 22RE they blow head gasket's yet my 3.0's never have. Oh well.

 

[4runner_kid]

Nonsense. 22REs are the best motor ever and never ever break.

Hey good luck with the build man.

That's what i was thinking. However it's like everything else in life, you have good fruits and bad fruits. This one i guess was a bad fruit. Thank's!

 

[4runner_kid]

Figured you guy's want more picture's? Well here you go! She still isn't running, i'm pretty busy with work and all. I'll finish her ASAP.

Welcome to the 2nd gen 22re club! haha.
Does yours have power windows and such? Mine is the only 2nd gen 22re SR5 with factory tint and power windows. I also have chrome door handles and also had chrome bumpers before I got rid of them.

No factory tint or power window's. Also no chrome door handle's. I like it better that way.
