Dittos on above. very reliable and long lived. the 22R (R series) was originally designed and built for the Toyota commercial delivery vans for use in the cities of Japan. That is VERY hard service. it was then adapted to the Hilux pick up and ultimately to the Celica. for lighter service in the car and pickup it will last almost forever. it had the highest quality of iron, steel and materials available (rings, pistons, bearings etc.) hence the long life. Hopefully current day replacement parts are of the high quality of the original parts.
