yeah the 21R is a better motor, but would it be a big deal for you to upgrade to a 22R and get 20% more capacity?

I would say 22R although if you have a 21R naturally u would have to go for the 21R over the 18R

No real difference they will both have the same sort of power. If the 18R is good then run it otherwise re-build the 21R and run it. It will be a little lighter due to the Alloy head.
18Rs have timming chain issues.

i am going to run the 21R for now it is a little rattley when cold due to the oil pressured timing chain thing in it - but will hopefully get me through a few months till i decide what to do
