18r & 18rc timing chain & gears transplant? Sun, 22 December 2002 03:51 Go to next message
I have just purchased a ra40 1980 Celica,with a 18rc engine in it.Only problem is it needs another timing chain & timing gears!
Now,Can I use the timing chain & gears from my 1975 rt104 Corona,which has a 18r engine in it?
If so,can people give me some basic bottom line instructions on how to do it?Thanks.

Dude, I'd recommend you use new chains. Don't even both reusing old timing chains for a measly $30-40. Bent valves cost heaps more to fix.
As for instructions, the local library will almost certainly have a Haynes or Gregorys manual for a car (Celica, Corona, etc) with the 18R motor. Photocopy the required bits from there.

Yes curious myself. Getting an engine off a mate he said it was an 18R, so I went and bought the 18R timing kit with the gasket and chains and stuff. Now he he said it is an 18R-C, will the 18R kit fit an 18R-C?

As far as I know the "C" is just for the emmissions controls. The rest of the engines (R & R-C) are the same.
