Product Description
This fully assembled cylinder head is designed for the legendary Toyota 22R (carbureted) and 22RE (fuel-injected) 2.4L gasoline engines. Known for their simplicity and longevity, these engines power millions of Toyota pickups, 4Runners, and Hilux trucks from the 1980s to early 1990s.
The head features a single overhead camshaft (SOHC) with 8 valves and is manufactured from high-quality cast aluminum, CNC-machined, and pressure-tested for leak-free performance.
Perfect for replacing cracked or worn-out heads in vintage off-road or utility vehicles.
