My 22RE is leaking oil from somewhere on the front of the engine so I want to replace all the gaskets from valve cover to oil pan, minus the head gasket.

Is there a kit for this? Or do i just have to get them all one at a time? Also any part numbers/brand suggestions would be great.

 

Most auto parts stores sell a timing cover kit that includes the timing cover gasket, oil pump seal and o-ring, and water pump gasket. You will have to buy the oil pan gasket seperate. They're not that much. You can probably get out for less than $20.

Might as well put a new timing chain in it if you are going to take the timing cover off.

The guy I bought it from had a receipt for the timing chain that was done about 10k ago. But it appears they just used rtv to seal everything up?? From what I can tell anyway.

 

oh yeah, I know the feeling
That's how mine was when I got it. I got the truck from my brother. He bought it a few years back and never did anything with it. So whoever owned it before him siliconed the timing cover and the water pump and it all looked like crap.

Same with the valve cover and the oil pan lol

 

could be a cracked timing cover, the bolt that goes from the head the the timing cover. oil will leak down to the fan and it flings oil every were. thats what happend to mine, just got my timing kit today, ihope i could get it all back toughter.

 

Thanks for the heads up on that I will be sure to clean everything up and inspect it really closely.
