I have a problem (22r)

You may want to this as reference moving forward. Good luck with your 22r!!

 

Thanks! I actually bought the Haynes manual though

 

Lol.

My fucking guy.


1 grand down. Payments 250 a month.

Do the fucking math.

New truck

 

Insurance? For me that's always going to be high because I'm a teen driver.

 

Thanks for your feedback, but I can't even afford to get a new truck. I'd rather be driving this over any other truck anyway.

 

It’s a good truck. Let us know how it goes with the engine noise.

 

By chance did you snug down the valve cover nuts to hard??

These Engines if the valve cover is to tight do sound just like that .

Timing chain is more of a grinding noise as it rubs against the timing cover.

 

Fair enough brotha !

 

If not for driving a 3.4 swapped 86 4x4 I would still be quite happy with the 22 series Engines .

As I have far to many

 

Last I checked w 10k down its $455 month plus another $100 for insurance and I'm 38.

Timing chain guide broke.

 

This and if it is the chain will rub thru the back of the water pump filling the motor with antifreeze, if that happens it means a full rebuild cause the antifreeze will attack the main & connecting rod bearings.

 

gotcha. will do when I have time. Thanks!

 

If the timing chain guides are bad, replace them with steel ones. They’re not hard to find.

Edit: I didn’t know he was closing shop. It’s been a while since I’ve had a 22R, so I haven been on the site for a while.

 

its ok. The most common shop for 22r stuff is LC engineering
