Absolute disaster! 3 engines in 3 months 😢

[@LargeGSX1400]

I reckon that second engine would have been golden had it been torn down and inspected, probably needed a clean, hone and new rings but it's costly and it's the gamble you take with second hand anything. You're sorted now it seems, fingers crossed this new long engine gives you no dramas for the next half a million k's.

[@andrewcoulter323]

the dream all us TD owners have ! a brand new crate motor ! good job !!

[@Karakaboardriders]

Is that dream a LS swap 😂 in all seriousness a new crate engine is pretty sick.

[@DougAskin]

It's good that you could get a brand new motor for an older Patrol, good price too I think. It was good of G works to let you use their shed to do the install. I was told to give it heaps when running in a new motor or rebuild but watch the temp and don't get it too hot

[@maverick2242]

Def the PINK rocker cover that jinxed the TD42's no question. 🤣

[@basalt8966]

its crazy how some people have no luck with them. my truck is on its second motor which is a silver top with 270xxxkm and ive had this motor going for 1 1/2 year no problems at all. 25psi, 12mm pump gets trashed and loves it. wish you the best of luck with this new motor!!

Just a heads up, Td42ti uses both Z503 oil filters where the td42t (non intercooled model) used the z416 and a z503

[@livingadamman7994]

Yeah I nearly get duped by the parts guy if I ask him what I need he wants to give me 2 different ones, when I know they are both the same. You just explained why. Is that the only difference in the engine T v's Ti ?

[@Chase803RMZ450]

Hope it goes well brother. I brought a new td42ti create engine a year ago and mine done a crank at 7,000km!! when I changed the crank I found a lot of stuff was loose so make sure you check everything over!!! Billet crank and it’s done anther 10,000km no dramas so far.

[@neilheyward2599]

Happy birthday buddy🎂🥳 Good on you for biting the bullet and solving the issues with a brand new crate engine! Hope you have fun in the desert😊👍👍

[@bikerssupportingcountrytow6904]

In 2006 after my daughter and I done our second Simpson Desert trip the shocky Towers on the rear end bent them up and the right hand side we were pinching the fuel lines. We got a truck manufacturing for trailers in Archerfield Queensland were the only ones who can brace up the rear end at that time. That cost $250. It was a GU Patrol 2005 model. I have a 98 model 105 series RV LandCruiser it has maxi flex coils all over on a 3-in lift it writes like you're on air suspension especially off-road as you let your toys down to 25 or 30 psi because I run all terrains at 60 PSI normally but trust me it is absolutely brilliant and it's from Pedders suspension.

There's been a bad batch of inj pumps in Aus with metal flaking off inside. Please pull the stop solonoid and check for metal. Ours was fully replaced by JP...a good guy..but other makers are not so generous, costing up to 2.5k to replace. Injectors too need replacing if pump has failing pressure head.

[@Adventure_Bound]

I’ve had something extremely similar happen to me, my solonoid gave out on my TD and I ended up with a filthy tick, after pulling my whole motor apart found out it was the fuel pump👍🏼

[@craigmooney2630]

It will only last if its tuned properly, that Ireland Deisel pump is fairly smoky, you want it around 20/1 afr’s for it to be reliable

[@Karakaboardriders]

Agreed . Could just be dud engines but two doing the same thing could be a bigger problem with a bad tune and something else going on and it’s getting to hot cooking rings then smoking.

[@tumba_tom4250]

A mate and I had trouble with a freshly rebuilt TD refusing to build oil pressure, quick google told us to put air pressure down the dip stick to help prime it up (weird i know) but it has worked more then once since 🤷‍♂️

Don’t stress Tyler it’s just part of owning a car. Rebuild the other 2 engines and sell them on. I did the same went through 2 and then got a big $ rebuild done for performance and towing. You never know what a second hand engine has had happen to it through its life. Derks water pump only way to go. Stick it on the dyno get it tuned sweet arp head studs if towing and running over 20 psi just to be safe and send it. 💪🏽 Keep up the great work.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, appreciate it!

@@TylerThompson90 carnt wait to see the adventures that are ahead glad you went with another td and didn’t engine swap it. When the td is set right and running they are a great reliable and strong engine. I bet a lot of people have had similar engine issues and experiences over many brands but they don’t say. I like the way you just put it out for everyone to see and continue to smile. Carnt wait to see a tear down on the 2 engines you had issues with to see what’s happened internally.

[@DieselAddiction]

Yeah I agree you need to get it turned properly especially since you are towing the kitchen sink, and just because you’re Egt gauge says it’s safe doesn’t mean your air fuel ratio is correct, also a top mount intercooler is not sufficient for towing. I build engines for a living and when I see a crate motor cranking for so long without oil pressure I cringe, it should have been primed via the oil filters and galleries, you may have scored the bearings already. For heavy duty work I run Penrite 20W 60 to cushion the bearings and Penrite running in oil for first 100km.

You said it yourself… the rocker cover! The crank case breather on top of a factory turbo motor, faces the exhaust side. The silver top NA motors, face the intake side.

because its a small 4x4, theres no room at the front, but, you can use an earlier grill, which makes room for a front mount. my inter cooler is 4 times that size & thicker.. this is why i wont buy jap stuff, as they never upgraded anything from the 40,s. i can take my hub off in 10 seconds. 1 circlip..no cv,s cos there garbage. weak.messy.plus there suspension set up radius arms are wrong design..does the new motor have more hp. or still 90 kw..from the 40,s. i have 175kw, 700 nm.. 4.2tdi. not jap..i dont get, how the japs, made a 3.0tdi, that blew up in 3 different variants. wouldnt a 2.8 cummins from a foton tunland be better, seeing its all cummins & dana. the best.. you need to watch yank vids & conversions, like the 3.0 bmw tdi, 300 hp.. a 7.3 tdi international v8 will easy do 1 million miles,. proven..
