Hey guys, I am posting on the truck side now because I am the proud owner of a 1993 standard cab pickup w/ a 22RE and Manual Trans. Best part is I traded it for a $250.00 modular ladder. Good friend. Anyways it has 99,250 miles on it and he had to park it about a month ago because it cut out on him. I just towed it home todays and took a look and the valve cover is off and the rocker assmbly is off. My friend said a mechanic said that "a rod may have busted or hit the piston". I know when it was running it sounded like it had some timing issues,sounded like it was sluggish almost like the the timing need adjustment. I was wondering what steps should I take to find the problem and fixing it or if a rebuild is in order and how difficult would it be to do the work myself. Thanks for the help guys!
