Here ya go:
 
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable and properly relieve the fuel system pressure.
2. Drain the engine cooling system and the engine oil into separate drain pans.
3. Matchmark and remove the hood from the vehicle.
4. On 1997 models, remove the battery.
5. Raise and support the front of the vehicle safely using jackstands. It will be most convenient if the truck can be supported so underhood access is still possible. Otherwise, the truck will have to be raised and lowered multiple times during the procedure for the necessary access.
6. Unplug the Oxygen sensor electrical connection.
7. Disconnect the exhaust pipe from the manifold. On some models it may also be necessary to disconnect the catalytic converter from the exhaust pipe.
8. Remove the braces from the engine and the transmission (if equipped).
9. On 1998-99 models, remove the starter motor.
10. Unbolt the transmission and separate it from the engine or, if necessary, remove it from the vehicle.
11. If necessary for clearance on 1998-99 models, remove the alternator rear brace by unfastening the bolt and nuts.
12. Disconnect the ground straps from the engine block and remove the drive belt.
13. On 1997 models, GM recommends that you remove the water pump.
14. Remove the A/C compressor and bracket. If possible, set the compressor and bracket to one side without disconnecting the lines.
15. Tag and disconnect the hoses and transmission coolant lines engaged to the radiator, then remove the radiator.
16. Remove the power steering pump and cap the power steering lines to avoid contamination.
17. Tag and disengage the heater hoses from the heater core in the bulkhead or from the manifold.
18. Disconnect the 12 volt supply from the mega fuse, if necessary.
19. Tag and unplug all electrical connections and wiring harnesses.
20. Tag and unplug all vacuum lines.
21. Disengage the throttle cable, and if equipped the cruise control cable.
22. If necessary for clearance on 1998-99 models, remove the EGR pipe and the EGR valve.
23. Disconnect the fuel lines.
24. Install a suitable lifting device to the engine.
25. Remove the engine mount bolts and carefully lift the engine from the vehicle. Pause several times while lifting the engine to make sure no wires or hoses have become snagged.

#26 of 44 22re replacement by aertola

Feb 05, 2008 (7:45 pm)

1992 toyota pickup. Put a rebuilt motor in three years ago along with many other parts. Just blew 2 cylinders. So much for the 22re being indestructible! Want to keep the truck. Should I get a junkyard motor, another rebuilt, or one of those brand new after market motors from ebay?
 
Thanks,
Tony

Well a "rebuild" is only as good as the rebuilder. Some "rebuilds" are merely "overhauls" (a big difference).
 
Rebuild should mean "all parts renewed or machined back to factory spec" (e.g., rebore cylinders with oversize pistons, re-machine crank with oversize bearings).
 
Overhaul means "bad parts replaced, serviceable parts left alone". This usually means new rings on old pistons, maybe new bearing shells on an old crank, and a valve job and a paint job.
 
Unless the rest of the truck is really pristine, I'd go for a junkyard motor that's been tested, bagged and warrantied.

The truck is good shape but not pristine. I put a lot of money into this truck and I can't afford to replace it with something newer. I think I'll go with the junkyard motor as suggested.
 
Thanks

But only a tested engine,, with oil pressure and compression test #s written on a tag. Or if it's some bargain-basement place, you have GOT to hear it run and be able to test it yourself. That's just too much labor for rolling dice.

One way I have seen it done is to fashion a plate that bolts to the carb (or throttle body) mounting flange on the intake manifold and then pull the motor straight out the front after removing the radiator, grill, etc. That's on a gas engine though, I wonder if it's possible on a diesel.
