Ahhh… the Toyota 22R motor. An invincible piece of engineering simplicity & genius. Once drove one cross-country, fully loaded, on only 3 cylinders ~ the 4th cylinder had very, very low compression (warn rings ~ why on only one piston I'll never know). Other than heating up a bit in the mountains & using a little oil, …it drove like a champ. Can’t say enough about that motor.
(For the enthusiasts.) Ended up having a machine shop clean the pistons, then replaced all the rings, head & intake gaskets, and the bearings since we had it apart. I do miss that truck. Funny the winds of change: Haven't taken a wrench to a motor in years.
