Size: .12-.18 is a small block, .21-.32 is a big block.
Crank: Standard or SG. Standard is just threaded and uses a nut with a shaft. SG has a smooth shaft combined with the threaded crank.
Carb: Rotary or slide. Rotary means that a part on the carb rotates to open the throttle up. Slide means there a part pulls out the side of the carb to open the throttle.
Exhaust: Side or rear.

TOKI engines are made by Shuwa, which is a manufacturer of crappy RTR quality engines. I would advise against buying one.

I ordered one before I research it so I will see what happens and after I put it through the passes I let you know if it held together. Do you know were I can find a parts brake down for this engine.
