The project: '85 4Runner 22RE w/ baseball sized hole in block is getting replaced with '85 22R. . . .

The posts I found about removing the motor helped out a bunch!
But, I still have a question. . . .

When I read my Chilton's manual (haven't found FSM yet), in the instructions it says to relieve the fuel system pressure. They give instructions about setting #1 to TDC and whatnot. . . .
This didn't get done, so what complications (if any) should I expect when I install the new motor? Any helpful tips for pressurizing the fuel system? This is my first EFI R&R.

TIA,
BD

If the motor is out, the fuel pressure is already gone. don't worry about it. It is a safety thing they have to include so you don't go cracking a line with 40 psi. in it and get fuel sprayed on you. I always just crack the line slowly, hold my cigarette in my other hand, and let it bleed down.

That's what I thought when I cracked the line and didn't hear anything. . .

When I install, will I have to prime the fuel pump, or will it just take care of itself when the key is turned on?

Thanks again,
BD

It will take care of its self.

Why does it say to set #1 at TDC?? All you have to do it suck on the vacuum line that goes to the pressure regulator.

Geeze just pull the damn thing and put another one in. I have done numerous 22r, 22re pulls. Toyota has a in tank fuel pump, and when you hit the ignition key to on the fuel pump turns on. Get it out of there and get to the trail.

Because I'm removing the head and intake too . . .

DUH?!?!?!:flipoff2:

Unbolt tranny bolts to engine, starter, wires, fuel lines, exhaust, p/s pump, and pull that damn thing.

Everything is disconnected, on the floor, only the block is in the bay. . . just waiting for friend to bring over shop crane and yank that bugger.. . .

I'm also waiting to take delivery of replacement. . . . will be running soon, very soon. :flipoff2:

BTW- this is my first 22R pull. . . easier than I thought is was going to be

Yea, your info was helpful, but thoughts of this :flipoff2: will keep me warm at night
