Pistons and Gasoline

oscuro ... if you need oem parts for that 18rg, i work for yamaha japan.  i can also ask the engineers about your engine too, if you can send me the numbers.

sweet ride you got there.

I...i....I don't know what to say other than: HOLY SHIT!
Thank you for the offer!

If you can find out anything man, that'd be amazing! It's the early 88210 head with matching cams. We have already learned about the other versions of the head (Used in the 18R-GU/GEU etc), and we know we have the best cam specs from the factory, but the smallest valves. We might have a lead on getting the larger valves from the later heads however...course, that's going to cost more money to get the valve ports opened up and hardened seats.

If you could find valve guides, valve seats, tensioners for the timing chain, we'd be in your debt man!

Course, if you find the rumored 16 valve racing head, we'd shit our pants and worship you as god

No, that's the Godfather of all things Toyota related with sport!
I thought the worship would have been obvious for that one

Man, it's sad. We know of an 18R-GU/GEU head that was rather heavily damaged:
The owners had just built up the engine, and the #3 cylinder sucked a bolt in. They didn't notice for a week, until the bolt killed the piston.....

Err, we are wandering off topic rather far eh?

....with a replanted topic, must post pictures!
For those who didn't follow the link in the "Pictures of You!" thread.


In it's Heyday

As it was when we got it home

And tomorrow, I shall have as it is now.
