Just looks like the timing chain plastic to me. i could tell right away when the tchain guide wasnt sticking out above the top of the blocl that it needed one.
check out engnbldr.com for the whole kit for like 80 bucks.

Looking good so far.. I am about to tear into the oil pan of my recently acquired 22rte and I am nervous.. The cylinder walls look great and still have the cross hatch pattern from a rebuild. Just worried about the bearings and such.

so still waiting on turbo rebuild, and havent gotten around to pulling out motor yet with all the christmas/new years stuff going on. i did get around to getting some sweet gauges and i framed some memorabilia. Ive been looking around on the forum/ebay/around the web lately and its been upsetting to see what some guys are doing to the factory turbo trucks. i hate see guys swap the 22ret out for a gm or even just a 22re. theses motors/truck combo are rare guys!! its sad in general to do a **aftermarket** swap in a toyota unless its the 3.4 or a 22re. i just hate seeing them die out, i understand the 22ret is more maintance but come on you have a turbo!! and their rare and come on its bad a**. i understand some of you wont agree with me but i really hope some one thing about swapping their 22ret for what ever reason will re-think that and do what it takes to get the truck back on the road.......theirs my evening rant lol well here are the pictures ha.
