    Default Hard to find 18rg Oil nozzle and No2 Chain damper, where to look?

    Hey guys - I have been pouring over forum posts and books trying to hunt down some missing 18rg bits that got themselves lost somehow during my build process. Specifically, I'm looking for the oil nozzle from the head, and the No2 Chain Damper and Oil Jet (pics below). I've completely run out of ideas on where i could source these parts, so I'm turning to the community for advice on how to track them down, or if they can be fabricated.

    first, pics of the parts missing:

    Now, I have been able to find references to the parts on amayama, but without pictures I can't be sure they are what im looking for, anybody used these guys in the past?

    No 2 Damper: http://toyota-general.epc-data.com/c...ne/1303/13562/ (Also with this it makes no mention of the oil jet that is refferenced in the book)

    If I can't find these, Is it possible to have them fabricated? my builder seems to think the oil nozzle is no sweat, and the chain damper and jet may be tricky, but probably doable. however is this advisable for a rebuild? or do I want to just put the RG dream on the shelf until these parts materialize?

    Thanks so much in advance for any advice, the toyota and 1st gen celica comunities have been incredibly helpful on this build, I can't imagine being able to do it without your guys' help.

    Your pics aren't working for me (iPhone) but if they are what I expect them to be, then the oil nozzle is indeed a simple machine up. The damper you may need to get 2nd hand, and even then wil possibly need recoating. Talk to Dave Wong at Sleeka Spares in SA to see what he has. He may well have a munted head to raid parts off.

    The image you have for the damper is an 18R-C image. The RG has three upper dampers. One is fixed and curved, runs up the exhaust side, one is pivoting and curved, runs up the intake side and is tensioned by an oil pressure driven tensioner (available separately), and the top one is short, straight, and easy to get new aftermarket (SW Motorsport sells them)
