RT104GT Regular Location: Western Victoria Registered: September 2004	Re: RA25 GT2000 (1973 model) Mon, 13 September 2004 23:16 re 18RG engines...There were very few 18rg engines in Australia in 1976 when I got my GT.. I had head gasket problems as the early series head and block are tapped with what I call 12 millimeter bolts. the next series blocks with head from (Yamaha) has 14 mm bolts and the block had to be tapped as I remember when I could not seal the leaking head gasket we (Hamilton Toyota) removed the head and re-drilled the head bolt holes to the larger hole and tapped the block with 14mm fine threads for the bigger bolts, that stopped the bolt threads stripping out at the book torsion values (be very careful here if you EVER do any head work).. In the 1978 Repco Rally Brian Hilton Toyota ran a Red Celica with a GT2000 badge but I don't know if it was for real, I have seen it in Western Australia, I don't know if Stepho' knows its current location but he tells me you are migrating that way so maybe you will hook up with the owner.. Peter Hurrey (deceased) got me to buy himan 18RGEU from a service station in Cantebury Road Sydney (Newtown?) and they re-jetted and fitted the carbies off their 2TG engine which also came from Newtown for the 1978 Repco. I also loaned him my LSD from the Corona for the rally and ran on a 3.9 for a while which gave me good sprint times but only 180 k top, so I borrowed back the 3.7 Viscous diff. That RA24 rally car completed the repco and againw e serviced in the Corona GT East Coast and an SR-5 with twin cam engine...Last seen the Hurrey RA24 GT hybrid was in the local paper here about 5 years ago for $2500 and I was not allowed to buy it on fear of divorce. I still have four BWA Toyota designed genuine magnesium alloy wheels four stud which I will never use if you are interested...I alos have lots of spare parts for the 18RG engine.. API at Springvale started bringing in 18RG engines about 1980/81 they were pretty good and out of Celica GT's as the sumps were the front deep pan type. I bought one and fitted it to a Corona Liftback which is still around here somewhere..I resisted the tempation to fit a 3TGTEU engine to the 104GT in 1984 and I am not so sure that was a good or bad thing.. 145 to 165 is not a big jump in horsepower..145 was the measured power of the 18RG early series engine and I had 95 dynoed at the back wheels by RACV Aussie Dyn in 1978..
