I've got my engine mostly back together but it's been awhile since I tore it apart and I can't seem to remember what this bracket is for and where it goes. Little help please. Thanks!

I hate it when that happens. Does it run in spite of missing said part?

Is that a stamped part number on there? stamped manufacturer?

dosnt look like a factory bracket for a 20/22r engine
unless maybe A/C accessory .. not overly familular with those

.

I think it's for either for the a/c or the alternator not shure though. Kicking my self in the ass not for not takeing pictures as i took it all apart.

Donkey

There's a 098 stamped on it.

What year/engine? Califormia smogged? Stickers in the engine compartment might clue this. If you posted this already, sorry. It just doesn't look familiar but I can look at my '83 22R ...which is NOT California version.

82 truck removed the original 22r and installed rebuild late model 22r

I'vw rebuilt a couple 22R engines and repainted every bracket on each - I've never seen that bracket. The only thing that those two engines had in common were that they were both non air conditioned trucks. I imagine that what you have there is a bracket for the A/C system if you have A/C in your truck.

That looks like the throttle linkage spacer on the intake manifold. Is it about 2" between the bolt holes?

I am almost certain that connects to where the AC would be at on the timing chain cover on the passenger side of the cover. Seems like it takes up the space for the longer bolts that are used when a motor doesnt have AC added to it. I could be wrong, but there is one similar to it. I dont have my old motor at the house to look here to look at.

The bracket goes on the timing cover, right side of engine just above AC compressor behind the Idle pulley. It came with the AC system. Check my truck's photo album "My Toy" and the one engine photo should show it.

Donkey

Thanks guys it is for the A/C !

Donkey

Okay sorry guys, either I'm retarded and this is the wrong spot or something hasn't been milled right. Here's some pics. I can't get the top bolt to line up and it looks like there's some imperfections in the milling.

Your bracket is slightly bent to the right but someone milled your head wrong. They took material off the front boss where the top bolt of the bracket bolts on or it is a different head. I have a modified high performance 20R head on my motor but my bracket came off the stock 22R head and bolted right on without a problem. You could install nice washers or fabricate a spacer to make up the difference.

I think the problem I am running in to is the truck is a 82 and the new motor is a late model. My throttle cable bracket that bolts to the valve cover will not fit ether!

My engine uses a 95 block and 20R head and as far as I know all 22R series parts pretty well match up. I run the slanted front valve cover but the non-slanted valve cover will bolt on if I wanted to use that style. I know there are some differences with AC compressor mounting brackets, fuel pump mounts, power steering pump mounts, etc.

Donkey

I think the a/c bracket won't fit because the block is taller. And the new square style valve cover has more length between the two throttle cable bracket mounting bolt holes than the old round style valve cover. I wonder if I need late model 22r brackets?Did toyota have late model 22r's in the u.s.?
