[millhouse]

[SilverRA23]

Try the for sale section - there is an injected one for great money last time I looked.

[o_man_ra23]

I think there are a couple in the sale section just at the moment. Haunt that section as they crop up regularly.

[The Witzl]

MrStroker... unsure the exact nature of what will be let to slide on throwing up Fleabay links (normally deleted) but since this is an 18R-G thread, I think that whole 18R-C motors are generally not really worth purchasing... they make great boat anchors though!!

[MrStroker]

Hi The Witzl, I think you should edit the original post of this topic with as many details on the 18R-G as have been verified within these 104 pages.
If all of the information has already been compiled then i think a link to where this data is stored should be edited into the original post.

Cheers,
Karl =P

Ps. Apologies for the fleabay links, thank you o_man_ra23 for informing me of the rules of this site.

Anyone care to donate an 18R rod to the cause so the 2.4lt grunter 18RG can live again ?

[The Witzl]

justen... i have a full set of 4 18RG rods.... the beefy ones not the pissy little 18R-C/18RGEU rods.

Cheers Brett.

What, it spun a rod real bad? Or bent one?

I might have to talk to you soon about work needed for a 2.4 18R bottom end. I never thought I'd waste the time doing it, but I may be embarking on an "interesting" (read: stupid, money wasting, noisey, guzzling, slow) project sooner that I thought.

keep talking Main issue is they would all need a side grind and i don't really want to splash that much cash on this rebuild as only the one rod is kaput.

It'll stay n/a ....or at most a low boost carbie setup so the 18R rods will do.

The dead one is the result of the previous owner (who shall remain nameless) driving with a spun bearing...he was driving carefully cause that knocking noise didn't sound good

[timbosaurus]

Lucky you didn't name Zano... he could be quite embarrassed!

I could spare one for ya Justen, but surely someone local has one to save the pain of posting.

Witzl hasn't mentioned a price yet so i'll see what he comes up with for the 4 RG rods.

I'm asking around the locals too so i'll let you know, ta.

I might have a chat with Jase RE a short block package using the RG rods and the pistons you sold to Zane...i have neither the time or patience for bottom end rebuilds myself these days

[timbosaurus]

It take patience and a lot of F'ing around. I'm getting inclined to pay and play with bottom ends too.

Finding someone you trust to give you what you pay for is the challenging part...
