Engine Rebuild Master Kit FAQs
What is included in the 22RE Rebuild Kit?
Our 22RE rebuild kit includes Street Performer Hypereutectic Pistons, piston rings, main, rod, and thrust bearings, a complete gasket kit (including the head gasket), dual row timing chain with metal-backed guides, new water pump, and LCE Pro oil pump. This kit provides a robust foundation for a stock rebuild or a mild performance upgrade, ideal for the Toyota 22RE engine.
How do the Premium Master Kits differ from Economy Kits?
Our Premium Master Kits are designed with upgraded parts, such as forged pistons and Total Seal rings, for engines that may need higher durability and performance. Economy Kits, while still offering high-quality components, are tailored for budget-friendly rebuilds without compromising on essential durability.
Do the master rebuild kits include timing components?
Yes, each engine rebuild master kit includes timing components specific to the engine type. The dual row timing chain is featured in models like the 22R and 22RE kits, while our 3VZ and 5VZ kits include a timing belt kit. Timing kits include guides and tensioners where applicable.
What is the lead time on forged piston upgrades?
If you choose forged pistons for your master rebuild kit, please note that these are custom parts with a lead time of 14-16 weeks. Forged pistons offer superior durability, making them an excellent choice for high-performance or turbocharged builds.
Can I return unopened parts if I ordered the wrong size?
Yes, we accept exchanges on unopened parts in their original packaging. Each part’s box is clearly marked, and we recommend verifying sizes before opening. Master kits are carefully packed to match your alignment list and specific engine specifications.
Why should I consider upgrading to hypereutectic or forged pistons?
Hypereutectic pistons, included in many of our rebuild kits, provide improved durability and heat resistance over cast pistons. Forged pistons, available as an upgrade, offer even greater strength, making them ideal for high-compression or boosted engines. These options are especially valuable for users who plan to push their engines beyond stock performance levels.
Is the oil pump in the rebuild kit high quality?
Absolutely. We include only high-quality oil pumps in our master rebuild kits. Using a reliable oil pump is crucial, as low-quality pumps can lead to premature wear or failure in a newly rebuilt engine.
What is an “alignment list” in the context of a rebuild kit?
The alignment list in our rebuild kits provides a clear inventory of the included parts and their specifications. This helps customers confirm they have received all necessary components and verify compatibility with their specific engine setup.
What does the timing cover do, and is it included?
The timing cover protects the timing components from dirt and debris while keeping them properly lubricated. While not always included, a timing cover is essential for maintaining the longevity of your engine’s timing system. If your current cover is damaged, we recommend replacing it during your rebuild.
Can I use these kits for a high-performance build?
Yes, our master rebuild kits are designed to accommodate a range of builds, from stock to high-performance. With optional upgrades like forged pistons and Total Seal rings, you can customize your engine rebuild master kit for applications requiring additional durability and power.
Our Master Rebuild Kits are a one-stop solution for bringing new life into your Toyota engine.
