22RE Rebuilt Motors- Long Term Reviews?

[ToyotaTechnical]

Any long term/ high mileage reviews on rebuilt 22RE engines?

There seems to be lots of horror stories of rebuilt motors failing in less than 50K miles... but any success stories? Anyone have 150K+ on a rebuild?

No. My DOA went 130K. My current engine is a local rebuild at about 90K. I did need to replace the JUNK FELPRO head gasket the engine builder installed. Other than that it's been a good engine so far.

Man I was just thinking about this. Then I remembered that people tend to post horror stories online and not the good stories.
Hoping some will chime in here with success stories. 130k and 90+ isnt bad though. that breaks down to about 10-15 years or so between rebuilds for my yearly mileage.
