For the love of a tractor engine: The life and times of the 18R-G

[river]

Hi,

hey just a quick one, i just pulled out my piston's in preparation for the rebuild and every slug has "ART" written on the side of them. i know these are not the original pistons but if anyone could shine any info on these particular pistons it would be much appreciated.

or http://www.sudco.com/art.html but these seem to be for motorcycle engines.

River, I'd never thought of looking for the company, I just figured they stood for ARiginal Toyota or something like that.

Sagluren - where did you order them from?

[Sagluren]

funny enough, it was from super cheap auto, looked on the ngk site and got the part number rc-te94 rang around heaps of places asking if they could get them in, and supershit was the last resort and they are getting them from ngk's warehouse.

but i don't know if they are right i will know tomorrow.

[Sagluren]

ok well the leads look good, they have a ninty degree than a round boot to secure to the r/cover then a 2/2.5 inch connector. i havent tryed to fit them yet as engine is in peices. will try for a pic tonight or tommorow.

Hoskin can you take a pic of the end of the lead so we can check both sets.

cheers.

[Sagluren]

ok well here is the pic of the leads

i am pretty sure they are the correct leads but further conformation would be handy.

hoskin. sorry mate but i don't have another lead holder.


cheers.
