Really? Mine did. Funny, about 8 years ago when I took my 21r out, my 18rg didn't bolt in. The engine mounts had to be modified. Measure the distance from the back of the engine mount to the back of the sump. It's different from 20/21/22r. I had to modify the crossmember. Quote: They're valves mushroom after being revved high frequently. Never had that happen. Never even heard of it actually! Happens quite frequently. Have repaired 4 18rg's that have done this (2 of my own). They start to loose compression cause the valves fold over on the lip. Quote: Their timing chains break. They always leak oil. Any timing chain will break if not replaced at recommended intervals. As for leaking oil, mine doesn't. Never seen one that didn't leak oil. Prone to seizing the tensioner and skipping teeth on the cams. How long you had yours with no oil leak? Quote: If you work them they run bloody hot all the time. Hot compared to what? Mine seems to run at a normal temperature. Mine didn't run at a normal temp. I can only comment on that and the other 2 that used to heat in traffic my friends had. Quote: They are heavy for a twin cam 2ltr. Well that much is true, they're not the lightest engine around. Quote: Turbocharged ones run that hot it's not even funny. So get a bigger radiator! I had a Cressida radiator, then a vl turbo. They run hot. Quote: And they don't "bolt in" to an ra60. As I said earlier, 18R-G's were a factory option in RA6x Celicas. Not with the rack and pinion steering in the ra60's in Australia. That was one of the main crossmember changes from the *a40 to the *a60. When in he car, the rear mount hole on the engine picks up the front on the crossmember, and mounts the engine slightly forward as compared to the 21r. 18rg fitted cars have a different crossmember. I'm only talking from actual conversions and work that I myself have done. Quote: I like old school stuff, but I think a 1g is heaps better. Depends what you want really doesn't it?
