i picked up this 18RGU of a mates mate 
we were in the process of changing the motors in to my RT104 and needed to change the sump, we pulled it off, it looked like 30 guys worth of jizz in there  , blown head gasket
I paid 400
we pulled down the rest of the motor and found the rings jammed fully into the ring lands and one of the bigends rooted.
he wanted to buy my old 18RC for his hilux, well,,,,,,,,,,,,,
that'll be $150 thanks for my 300,000k old engine
I GOT IT

well i just rebuilt it, 
we got it inthe car after 1 day, we got it to run but it wont make power, like wont get up a 5-10 degree slant, and wont idle nicely, we noticed the dizzy had no condensor on it, i got one today and my mate is gonna put it on tonight,
BUT GODDAMN IS IT LOUD.
