I have a 1987 22re the motor was just rebuilt about 7k ago. Almost everything under the hood is new and even the shop that built the motor is stumped! It starts, runs, and idles just fine even drives for a short time. Then it starts a constant puttering and drops power. New distributor, plugs...
Big day in the build! Got the new crank installed and everything put back together! I am waiting on the cam and that's it! Also that's my woman helping me!
I have the torque specs and new rod and main bearings I appreciate your advice. Gramps is helping me he's a retired master mechanic. I'm just trying to learn all I can.
Thanks! One more question can me and my brother pull it out my ourselves. We don't have an engine lift. We are both pretty strong big ole boys. It's under a tree if we need to make a pulley.
Alright friends this is now a build thread! Motor went so I tore it down all the way to the block. New crank and rod and main bearings just came in. I'm adding a crawler cam, pacesetter headers and exhaust, upgraded pistons, and an air intake!
