Had a house fire, how much heat can a 22re block handle? (1 Viewer)

So how much heat do you think a 22RE block take?

EGTs on a 22RET can be upwards of 1000-1200 degrees.

Was just the block expose to the fire or the whole engine? What kine/size of fire? basic wood fire or meth-lab explosion type fire?

With a full-blown to-the-ground house fire, you never know the temps created and what could be weakened on the block. Best to get a new block, used 22RE probably ain't gonna be that expensive

come on DUDE, run that thing and post up some good tech! And maybe you'll have better luck back there finding a used running 22RE than I've had out here for the last year. I'm just about ready to just slap a cleaned up head on the tired ol block just to get it back on the road...

Ask FSUsteve. He's has some experience in this department.

Sorry so long getting back, also trying to get a new house, it was not meth lab explosion but my oxy acetaline torch and spare tanks did explode, and about 10,000+or - rounds of ammo, and the room above collapsed into the garage in 10 minutes, I had three blocks the one on the stand is the only one that survived, I found one piston inside of the cylinder of one of the other blocks and that is it, I had parts out the ass, that are gone.

man, that stinks!. So are you gunna run it? I just ordered a cam and gaskets from Ted to get my ol 94 going again. I't's been setting for a year since the head grew bigger water jacket ports.... maybe the 2 of us can piece these things back together for a few more miles, eh?
