the Toyota 22R Engine

[7th_Sephiroth]

came out in the late 70's early 80's, i have an 81 with 250,000 miles on it and its just had its first timing chain replaced, are these, the most durable engines ever or what?

3. 155,000 on my 83 pickup..

the only thing I've replaced thus far are the bendix plates in the starter motor. Still has plenty of zip too.

4. just give it light weight oil

got some toyota freaks here that just love the 22R but said they eat timing chains, its cause they were putting the heavier weight oil and it wasent getting to the timing chain

5. I Had Two.

Both were in Celica's. One was sold running, the other had a blew a head gasket. I'm pretty hard on motors though.

6. Those things are rocks!

Same with the original Z-car inline 6 from Nissan

Ex had a '81 Maxima that had over 488,000 on it when we sold it...original engine and timing chain, and still barely used oil. Come to think of it, the rest of the car wasn't half bad either except for some "skin cancer" in spots.
