I really dont know what to say with this one... This is the third time ive had timing related issues... Its not my mechanical abilities... I think its just got to be a cursed 22R.
If I fix this, itll be the third time in 3months that i will have my engine torn down to the block. 2/3 were do to timing, one was a leak.
This time around its the half moon key that holds the timing gear cog on the crank shaft.
Small fix, until you add the fact that theres a high chance of bent valves, which is a hassle, and frankly, its a 4cyl and isnt the best for my DD needs...
I have two options sitting in my garge a 5.7 or a 4.3.
Now, I will be hated for this, im positive, but because of recent financial issues and the fact I just dumped a ton of money into a trip to Alaska that I cannot refund, I am going to carb the 4.3 and adapt to the toyota tranny because I know the 4.3 runs, I do not have a chevy tranny, nor the money for lengthed driveshafts, wiring, etc.
Will the transmission hold up to a 4.3? Any recomendation on a HD clutch?
Theres no way this is going to be cheap, but it will be an upgrade in my opinion. They toyota gods have frowned upon me, but the chevy gods rejoice with my decision.
I have to say, this is one tough thing to do... I had so much respect for the toyota line, maybe its just my ****ty luck... Happens to be very prevalent lately
