22R/RE Cylinder Heads for the Toyota 4Runner 2nd Gen

The 22R and 22RE engines are some of the most loved four cylinders Toyota ever put in a truck. Our 22R/RE cylinder head lineup gives you three solid options to match your build:

Each option fits 1985 to 1995 22R/RE applications, which covers the full run of the second gen 4Runner.

22R/RE Stage Cylinder Heads Deliver Serious Top End Gains

When you are ready to push the 22R/RE further, our Stage cylinder heads are where things get aggressive. All Stage heads are made in the USA and represent the kind of performance engineering that LCE Performance has been known for since the early days of Toyota truck culture.

  • The Stage 2 Cylinder Head delivers the same port work as the Pro but adds an upgraded valve train designed for higher revving and broader cam compatibility.
  • The Stage 3 Cylinder Head takes port work throughout the entire head to a new level, making it a go-to choice for serious performance builds.
  • The Stage 5 Cylinder Head is the top of the lineup, featuring a redesigned intake port that completely opens up the stock Toyota swirl port for maximum airflow.

All three Stage heads are built for 1985 to 1995 22R/RE engines and are designed to unlock power that the stock head simply cannot deliver.
