Short Blocks FAQs

What is included in the 22RE short block kits?

Our 22RE short block kits include essential components like a crankshaft, H-Beam connecting rods, king bearings (main, rod, and thrust), new pistons, oil galley plugs, a complete gasket set, and a timing cover. Some kits, like the Pro Stroker Short Block Kit, also feature a dual-row timing chain conversion kit and forged pistons.

What is the advantage of using a stroker crankshaft in my Toyota 22R or 22RE?

A stroker crankshaft increases the engine's stroke length, providing up to 25 ft/lbs of extra torque. This translates into more pulling power for off-road or performance builds, and enhanced acceleration for track or street use.

Is there a core return requirement for these short block kits?

No, LCE Performance's short block kits are sold outright, meaning there is no core deposit or core return requirement. This allows you to keep your original parts without the need for a core exchange.

Are these short blocks compatible with both Toyota 22R and 22RE engines?

Yes, our short blocks are compatible with both Toyota 22R and 22RE engines, covering various models and configurations from 1981 to 1995. Whether you're seeking a 22RE short block for a fuel-injected engine or a 22R short block for a carbureted setup, we have options to fit your needs.

What is the benefit of a dual-row timing chain in the Pro Short Block Kit?
