Hi. Folks, I'm gathering parts for a future 2.2 swap. Got this eng. from a neighbor, he replaced it with a JY unit. It was missing badly,( burnt valve?) so I'll do a leak down test as soon as I have a few spare minutes. I guess at the very least I should pull the heads & reseal every thing. Can I get a rod cap off to look at the bearings? I'll do a little more checking, & get back with more info. Thanks Guys, S.

If it's really a 22T - split the block and do a full rebuild. You don't want to accidentally kill one of those and you can't inspect the bearings without splitting the case. That engine is rare and valuable.

Thanks for the info GD. Didn't know they are rare. I recently bought a 93 Leg. turbo sedan with the intention of using it as the donor, but it's a really nice low mileage driver. So, is a 2.2 over haul kit gonna' break the bank? Any favored sources? Need new pistons? Total Seal rings or others? Sorry, got carried away. One other question GD, a bit off the subject. I have to replace the htr. core in the 93 Leg., & I ran across an old thread of yours, where you got it done without dumping the AC. Viable? Thanks again, S.
