Toyota 22RE dual row timing chain cover upgrade & LCE Pro Cylinder head / EFI cam installation tips

This video covers a few notes & tips which I ran across during the installation of my LC Engineering dual row timing chain and Pro street cylinder head w/ EFI camshaft. Hopefully you'll find the video informative and perhaps it will help others with their own installations in the future. I also talk about my selection of head gaskets for the 22RE and show the Fel-Pro Perma Torque 26185 PT head gasket being installed.

When I had my 22RE out of my '94 Xtracab due to broken chain guides getting upgraded plus a new clutch and other jobs, I had it nice and clean like that and it was so nice. But, being a 4x4, you can imagine how long that cleanliness lasted. I never removed the head from mine, and it's at 207k and consumes about 1.5 qts every 3k miles, and some of the exhaust studs have stripped the threads out of the head during header install, so I'm considering replacing the head with one of those new ones that come with some of the mild upgrades. But it's my daily driver so if that ever happened, it'd be down the road once I get an extra vehicle.

Hi Ray, Just wanted to know the torque specs for the timing chain tensioner ? Also it is the LCE dual chain kit! Thanks for all the informative 22re videos!!

Why were you rebuilding your engine in the vehicle and not on an engine stand? It would seem much faster and easier access for all parts all the way around. Also a lot quicker.

Great video, what alternator is that ?

What kind of ultrasonic cleaner do you have? I'm looking for one.

Looks like you installed the timing cover without dropping the oil pan! The Chilton/Haynes manual says to drop the oil pan, but to do that you have to drop the front differential (mine's 4WD, yours isn't obv); I don't really want to do that - looks like I can get away doing it as you did (leaving the pan on), unless maybe I missed something. Anyone have experience trying this successfully (leaving the pan on?) - thanks!

Use an oem toyota gasket set. Felpro is garbage. I had a felpro headgasket blow at each cylinder crimp after only 65k.
