18R/RG performance

[DQIKST]

all bearings, bushes etc from the bottom end are the same part numbers as 18RC items. Easy to obtain from any parts supplier for cheap too. its the pistons, quality of crank and rods, aux shaft etc that are different, but the parts that wear out are the same (until you get to the head, then its another kettle of fish)

Cheers, Owen

i will be focusing more on the head so as i dont have the same problem in the future.

Does the 60mm mean its for a 60mm bore? thats the largest size on ebay, and its already up to $80.

Thats the style, and yeah, youll need a bigger one for an 18R

is she referring to my bike as a little R1?? if so, then its not gone, its just going to get a makeover... fibreglass fairings and a new headlight and shes as good as gold

Like TOSCO said, how much can you do yourself... that will tell you how much you need spend. Last one I did saw $1000 with valve springs, chains, bearings and all sorts... I did a 22RE for about $1300 with new pistons and everything, but 18RG pistons will be dear on their own...quick one should be about a gorilla if you do most of it yourself... make sure you have a good torque wrench, not a $50 super crap job.

well my cousin is a mechanic so i think he would be able to do all of it. wont charge me an arm/leg/right liver and left testicle

how hard is it to convert to EFI, just got a call is it worth it and how much should i pay??
pros
cons

and R1 i mean 1969 ser1 mazda R1oo

[Screamn_Sleeka]

and use new head bolts, and re tap the threads.

Haha, so a REAL R1(00).

Efi is worth it for efficiency, not for power, it will need to much money spent to out perform webers, even early solex's. And its not too hard, ive done the equivalent to a 2T-G, they are really basic efi setups.
