Hello people, I am a Celica fan from Argentina and I am trying to buy an 1981 liftback with a 18R-G in a couple of months.
Till this moment, this is the best one I found:
Pics here: broken links 
Please, tell me if I am wrong in the designation of this model; I have researched and I think it is the 140HP model with one of the best heads a 18R-G can get (88270). Also it is a DOHC engine with 8valves, right? the compression ratio (CR) is 9,7:1.
I would like you to tell me if there is something missing or wrong that could be observed from this pics.
Also, info on the items that should be carefully checked in this particular car for wear and/or damage will be very helpful.
Orior to buying it, I would like to test compression in the cylinders and measure the oil ressure. I found in a manual that the oil pressure should be, at least, 0,8kg/cm^2 (12PSI) at idle is this correct? do you have any other values for the same engine speed or even at a diferent one?
Didn´t found yet a minimum value for the compression test, but based on its compression ratio, it is generally calculated that the minimum compressión on the cylinders should be 30% more than the CR; dos this aplies to this engine in particular too? (CR in PSI would be 143PSI + 30% = 185PSI).
Is there any version of a technical manual for the car or engine in digital format? can I get it?
Thanks a lot for your time, guys and I will be around! : )
