common engine problems with the 22re

[jnoland]

Hey, just wondering if anybody had any info about some common engine problems that happen to a 22re after mileage starts to build, so i can know what to watch out for.

thanks

Timing chain and guides at ~200K miles. My guides broke at 198K, the chain itself broke ~0.5 seconds later.

That's not as expensive as when the chain eats through the timing cover into a water passage though, and then there's the head gaskets....
