Guy's got a 22re for sale...though i think he converted it to carb
He said the only problem is "it needs a new crank cuz the woodruff key's melted"
Trying to find out if the short block is any good or not
remember 22r series are interference motors
I think is trashed

Eric,

The w-key is quite melted in place, I dont think it can be punched out. What happened, engine was running fine...A friend helped me change the timing chain at around 130,00 miles (it died on me at ~175K) on it but he forgot to tighten the crankshaft bolt to the crank pulley (harmonic balancer) so this thing was running loose all this time. I was going to work, truck died, towed it home and found that the timing gears were shattered, so I am not sure of internal damage. It has valve cover, oil pan, 22r intake, manifold, new timing kit. $200.00 and I'll throw the LCE header. You are welcome to come by and look at it, I'm in south austin. page me at ******** or call my cell *******. Luis

is the melted woodruff key the only problem? How did
it melt? Or could it have just sheared off? Have you
tried to punch it out? I assume it busted up the
valves when that happened...
trying to decide if it would need a full rebuild to
run...
What all does it include? (accessories, upper/lower
intake, plenum, tb...)
I could possibly pick up this weekend
