18R-G tech help Thu, 08 January 2004 13:36 Go to previous message
Hey guys,
I've 'recently' got an 18R-G motor to go into my RA28 Celica, its all in, but we can't get it started. The motor used to belong to KiRK and Sbyder on this forum, and it has: Re-ground Cams, Big port/polish, Shaved head, Lightened/balanced crankshaft, Shot peened conrods, 4-2-1 Extractors, and possibly more, no one seems to know the exact extent of the modifications.

Everytime we try to start the motor, it turns over (sometimes reluctantly), compression locks sometimes, and sometimes shoots header flames. We reckon its the timing, but we have no idea what the timing should be set at. Can anyone take an educated guess of the timing based on the modifications mentioned above? It has a full tank of 98RON Premium fuel.

On a side note, is the firing order of an 18R-G 1-3-4-2, or 1-3-2-4, because its set at 1-3-4-2 at the moment.
If not the timing, can anyone else suggest any reasons why the motor's not starting?
Thanks for the help,
Tim
