INSPECT BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERS

- (a) Inspect the ball joints for excessive looseness. (See SA section)
- (b) Inspect the dust cover for damage
CHECK OIL LEVEL IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AND DIFFERENTIAL

Remove the filler plug and feel inside the hole with your finger. Check that the oil comes to within 5 mm (0.20 in.) of the bottom edge of the hole. If the level is low, add oil until it begins to run out of the filler hole. Transmission oil (M/T) – Oil grade: API GL–4 or GL–5. Viscosity: SAE 75W–90
22R–E ENGINE

- The 22R–E engine is in–line 4–4-cylinder engine with the cylinders numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 from the front.
- The crankshaft is supported by 5 bearings inside the crankcase. These bearings are made of Kelmet. The crankshaft is integrated with 4 weights, which are cast with it for balance. Oil holes are made in the center of the crankshaft to supply oil to the connecting rods, bearings, pistons, and other components. The firing order is 1–3–4–2.
- The cylinder head is made of aluminum alloy, with cross-flow type intake and exhaust layout, and with pent-roof type combustion chambers. The spark plugs are located to the left of the combustion chambers. Coolant is introduced into the intake manifold, improving drivability during engine warm-up. Exhaust and intake valves are equipped with springs made of special valve spring carbon steel, which are capable of following no matter what the engine speed.
- The camshaft is driven by a timing chain. The cam journal is supported at 3 places, located at the center and the front and rear ends of each cylinder head. Lubrication of the cam journal gear is accomplished by oil supplied through the oil passage in the cylinder head. Adjustment of the valve clearance is done using an adjusting screw on the rocker arm for easy adjustment.
- The timing chain cover is made of aluminum alloy, with a water pump and oil pump on the outside.
- Pistons are made of highly temperature–resistant aluminum alloy, and a depression is built into the piston head to prevent interference with valves. Piston pins are the full–floating type, with the pins fastened to neither the connecting rods nor the piston boss, but with a snap ring fitted to both ends of each pin to prevent it from slipping out. The No. 1 compression ring is made of stainless steel, and the No. 2 compression ring is made of cast iron. The oil ring is made of stainless steel.
- The outer diameter of each piston ring is slightly larger than the diameter of the piston, and the flexibility of the rings allows them to hug the cylinder walls when they are mounted on the piston. No. 1 and No. 2 compression rings work to prevent leakage of gas from the cylinder, and the oil ring works to scrape oil off the cylinder walls to prevent it from entering the combustion chambers.
- The cylinder block is made of cast iron. It has 4 cylinders, which are approximately 2 times the length of the piston stroke. The top of each cylinder is closed off by the cylinder head, and at the lower end of the cylinders, the crankshaft is installed, supported by 5 journals. In addition, the cylinder block contains a water jacket, through which coolant is pumped to cool the cylinders.
- The oil pan is bolted onto the bottom of the cylinder block. The oil pan is an oil reservoir made of pressed steel sheet. A dividing plate is included inside the oil pan to keep sufficient oil in the bottom of the pan even when the vehicle is tilted. The dividing plate prevents the intake of air and allows oil circulation to be maintained even if the oil forms waves when the vehicle brakes suddenly.

Toyota 22REngine-FAQs’s
How do I obtain a PDF version of the Toyota user or service manuals?
Digital Access: Subscribe to Toyota’s Technical Information System (TIS) at techinfo.toyota.com for manuals for most Toyota models, including the 22RE.
What is the recommended service interval for the 22RE engine?
Oil and Filter Change: Every 3,000 miles (4,800 km) or three months, whichever comes first.
General Service: Toyota recommends major maintenance every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or 6 months, with additional steps at 15,000 and 30,000-mile intervals.
What is the firing order on the 22RE?
The firing order for the 22RE engine is 1-3-4-2 with a clockwise distributor rotation.
What is the stock bore of a 22RE engine?
The stock bore is 92 mm (3.622″).
Can I turbocharge a stock 22RE engine?
Although possible, the factory 22RE engine’s compression ratio (9.0:1 to 9.4:1) is relatively high for adding a turbo. If you do add a turbo, limit boost to 4–6 psi for engine safety, and note that factory EFI may not support forced induction well without modification.
How do I properly break in a rebuilt 22RE engine?
15 minutes at 1,500–2,000 RPM for proper camshaft break-in and piston ring seating. Watch engine temperature and oil pressure throughout the process.
How much fuel can a Toyota 22RE tank hold?
Typical 22RE-equipped trucks have a 17.2-gallon fuel tank.
What is the recommended oil filter change procedure?
Use a high-quality filter suitable for the 22RE. Replace the filter with each oil change for best engine protection.
