Many questions about rebuilding a 22RE
i just ordered my new engnbldr master kit, dropped off the block at the machine shop it's bored .40. ready to be decked as soon as i get the pistons and tc, ( i told eb the piston size is .40, and bearings - std
Q: should i use the stock connecting rods out of the old engine that blew a rod they were checked and said the other 3 are fine but should i ditch them
if somebody's got 4 sitting around pm me
Mods- somebody edit the title of the thread dunno what happened

no no no i got a new block and had it bored .40 over, i told eb i wanted .40 pistons,rings and std bearings. but now i'm still thinking i'll still need to replace the old rods even if the machine shop said they look fine. the old 22re really chewed up the rod it spit out

And dont get them used. Usually the machine shop should be able to get them for you. When I went through and had my 63' Austin Healey machined, .065" over, I had to have custom pistons made. Went with JE Pistons, and they weren't cheap...if I remember correctly, I think some where in the neighborhood of $600.00...but those were completely custom with 2 compression rings and 1 oil skirt/ oil ring...instead of 3 comp. and 2 oil skirts...it's been a while so I might have something a$$ backwards here.

Check for them here...google'd this, and others came up from ebay as well as a bunch of other listings...I don't have the 22re so I dont know much about that engine...but I'm really positive it's super popular...and there's probably a ton of mfg.s who make replacement pistons, either in whole or part.

A little more expensive, but it takes all the guess work out and leg work too.
