So i recently inheritted my uncles toyota cressida , and i need help finidng out what model it is to start to do engine work on it . I left my cousin to do the job but he replace the engine it had with a 21r (i belive ) engine that leaks oil and well has a sleu of other mechanical problems . If you are a good reliable mechanic from the east ( The car is currently in Arima and isnt mobile) that would like to come take a look at it and diagnose what needs to be done and we can move on from there . Any help i get from this community is grateful . Thanks in advance fellars . this is what it looks like http://www.zhaust.com/forum/index.php?t ... msg_918702

So i went digging and found out that it's a rx80r and that it originally had a 22r engine , so then why did he put a 21r in it steupessssssssssssss . Ok now i just need a f**king reliable mechanic . Thanks again fellars

maybe they couldn't source parts for the 22r engine an decided to do a swap....does the 21r engine start at all?

When i got it back it was alot of pain to start it up , he gave excuses as the carburetor needs servicing then to realize the manifold isnt the right one , so i went and get a manifold last week but now like he had the battery on the ground and now i need a new one so i will organize that by Wednesday and see if it starting now cause i wanner carry it to put in the new exhaust manifold . So OVERRIDE in your eyes did that swap make any sense , and do u have a reliable mechanic that can come and check it out for me ?

Depending on the number and severity of problems to be fixed, it may be more economical to replace the engine in the car. I personally have a 21r motor in my rx70 and they are really strong motors and pull great as well. But if yours is problematic, weight your options.

both 21r an 22r are good engines, the 22r however is 2.4ltr as compared to the 2.0ltr 21r.....as the guy above said you really need a good mechanic to checkout the engine they installed an give a good opinion if a rebuild is needed or another engine to be installed

hope you don't go down the line where most people end up installing an rb20....

any recommendations on mechanics ?

nah boi, don't know any mechs up in the arima. Seeing that cressida override from grande, maybe he'll be able to point you in the right direction...

if u need a complete 21r engine and tranny,i can hook u up.
gonna take out 1 from an rx70.engine in excellent condition an it has the 4speed over drive tranny

Good mechanic and has his shop in Samaroo Village. I don't know if he already closed off for the year though, so call him ASAP.
