Introducing....... The Toyspeed Boat

[t0ms]

not a car discussion but it has the heart of a toyota so must count for something

12 months of hard work has finally seen some results and have got it pretty much all done

engine is 18r, 2 litre, push rod motor out of an old celica i believe.
14 foot long (Plus 2 feet of duckboard)
2 batteries (enginer and audio)
stereo system and a few other bits and bobs.
all ready for summer!

1UZ with a link is not an uncommon boat combo at all.

18R is a chain driven OHC motor

Seems a common misconception they're an OHV motor.

no need if you knew why they blew in the first place you would understand how easy it is to fix the problem.
Arp head stud kit, HKS metal headgasket and correct torque settings will see it right.

From factory the head bolts are torqued down incorrectly to 54 ft lbs...
