Wanted-High steer for my 1984 Toyota 4 Runner. I have the IFS box but need the rest.

Well after much thought, I decided to rebuild the 22R myself. At least that way I know how it was done and who to blame. After breaking down the motor, it was a complete mess. I found 4 inches of timing chain in the oil pan as well as about 2 inches of debris. All parts were so dirty and...
