Toyota 18R-C specs: 2.0L (120.1 ci) 4-cylinder, 88.5 x 80 mm (3.4843 x 3.1496 in) bore and stroke. Rated 108 hp, 1972–1974. Used in the Toyota Pickup. SOHC.
The Toyota 18R-C is oversquare — the 3.4843" bore exceeds the 3.1496" stroke by 10.6% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.1496" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,600 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 30.0 ci (492 cc).
It is one of 4 engines in the R family, the smallest at 120.1 ci. 3 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 108 hp across 1972–1974.
