Massive props for telling everyone you're not an expert at these things, and for those who are to tell you if you've missed anything. Not many people are willing to admit shortcomings, however minor, especially in technical fields that they're otherwise very knowledgeable about. Bloody good on you guys for always being honest!

[@English_Speaking_Fox]

“We’re all here to learn about stuff so we’re not talking shit on the Internet.” A mantra for life if ever there was one. Good on you fellas this is bloody excellent stuff. Really informative.

[@matthewtaylor3308]

Today I learned that the valve reliefs on a TD42 turbo spec head look like dog’s bollicks…

[@nickpilgrim853]

The fart sound effect while he was torquing the head bolts up absolutely done me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏻👍🏻

[@danielflatman3577]

There is also a difference in oil pumps. The Na spec is 19mm wide and Turbo is 21mm. 10% bigger to match the bigger piston oil squirters and oil feed for the turbo.

[@theskidfactory]

Thanks for sharing mate!

[@MKPatrolGuy]

Yep, can run into low oil pressure issues running turbo squirters and N/A pump

[@bjones5240]

It’s actually very refreshing to see positive contributions in the comment section.

[@SchrottiJr]

Was about to ask if that was the case but you already answered my question.

[@theskidfactory]

We did replace the oil pump but I didn't check this. The machine shop was all over the TD stuff and ordered it for me.

[@ArchimedeanEye]

Al's presentation coupled with great audio visuals + editing makes this a pleasure to watch. 20 mins felt like 5 mins.

[@seaniemcp2887]

I’m following this build with great interest. Not because I have a TD42…. Because my workmate has one in his patrol and it’s the slowest thing I’ve ever been in

[@HotForgeChaos]

Have you ever driven anything with a 2L-E in it? Or any L-series diesel engine for that matter

[@mattyb7736]

Yep, slow, but they go forever. My TD 42 did 450,000 kms, wore the lumps off the cam. Stuck a new cam in it, didn't touch the rest. Still going at 700,000 km Regular oil changes and filters are the key.

[@boingkster]

Once borrowed a mates TD42 powered GQ to tow a car back from a few hours down the road. Struggling to maintain an honest 90kmh was a first for me! He explained it was reliable... I countered by offering reliability wasn't hard to come by when you're only making about 20hp per litre haha!

[@rubikmonat6589]

A good one will start doing a burnout as it comes on boost in third. That one was a bitch to tune it kept hopping up on the front roller of the dyno.

[@BamBamZ_Gaming]

The way Al’s hand folded to penetrate the bore was truly a sign of great experience. Had to go and get a cool towel to calm down

[@Sneakyfreek]

Always appreciate an appearance by friendgeneer John!

[@hakkemohammed]

Great to see Al fiddling with his favorite motor again, he knows deep down the td is superior to the cummins 12v I have an td myself and i am going to do a rebuild some time in the future, so this is amazing. great with all the tips and tricks, and fantastic that you show us the turbo - N/A differences. i was planing to read trough the forums, so this saved me a lot of time!!

[@fgialcgorge7392]

I always love when John is on. He's just such a funny, chill, knowledgeable dude.

[@maxtraction5388]

The oil pump is also larger capacity on a turbo engine, the camshaft is different and also good idea to clean out the steam passages in the block.

[@crezychameau]

steam passage ? I never heard this term, what are these ?

[@gordowg1wg145]

@@crezychameau I don't know about these specific engines, but some engines - especially with siamesed bores - have 'steam passages' or drillings to allow coolant through and avoid causing areas where circulation is poor and the coolant can get hot enough to boil - or, worse, air pockets can form. Basically, they're auxiliary bleeds.

[@maxtraction5388]

@@crezychameau between the bores is a hole approximately 2 .5mm diameter from memory which runs down on an angle to the side water jacket, we normally clean them out with a long drill bit.

[@brianbob7514]

Thank you John and Mandy!!!

[@martinfalls1023]

Fantastic relaxed communication!!! I like it. Plus this is VERY encouraging. Am in the middle of building a turbo spec motor out of a N/A 94 blacktop and an old cooked turbo motor I bought years ago sitting in the back of the shed. A lot of the parts were in very good condition except for two pistons + the block is cracked in each parent bore. ATM it is just a pile of parts sitting on the floor waiting for the machine shop to complete the work I cant do. One other thing is the TD42 Turbo has a different oil pump that pumps more oil, bolts straight in.

[@rubikmonat6589]

I dont think you mentioned it, but you should use new head bolts on these every time, that angle actually stretches the bolt a very specific amount, if someone ever went too far or didnt lubricate it properly while torquing it in the past the bolt will not hold enough tension and you're going to be blowing gaskets.

[@jonathanwright5550]

I'm surprised als never talked about torque sequence and torque to yield bolts. Well that I can remember anyways

[@niceazzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

Pretty certain they would have no way they would of used the old head bolts

[@andrewcoulter323]

I always thought you needed a head stud kit, but that's just what I've heard I know very little about rebuilding TDs

When I rebuilt my Silvertop TD42, I had a fair bit of difficulty getting the injection pump timing correct so will be interested to see how you guys go when you get to that point

[@mickromer6199]

Good to see you guys went with a new cylinder head.. renowned for cracking after machining

[@calmauric8218]

This vid is a great resource to anyone with a TD. Well done.

[@andrewcoulter323]

I have a spare silvertop in my shed but I don't think I'll ever have the cash to rebuild it, it's a dream tho, thanks for sharing the knowledge, I can always refer back to this if I ever get there !

[@MrFoulPlug]

I had one of my TDs lose compression in cylinder 1 and starting to get low on a few others. I pulled the pistons out and checked the bores for spec, gave it a quick clean up hone and chucked some new rings and rod bearings in and slapped it back together without even pulling the block from the patrol. Made it a new truck which continues to this day running 20 psi and still towed 3.5t at 105kmh and 88 degree temps. They are not as scary to rebuild or as expensive as you may think. Just get in and do it and chip away at it and spread the cost

[@DieselAddiction]

I also advise you use stud locker on oil squirters bango bolts, I have seen them come loose.

[@tobehunt2573]

Can second that, have also seen them come loose and fall out. Not much oil pressure or bearings left afterwards guaranteed.

[@ericjohnson6802]

Nailed it! Thank goodness you sleeved it! Watch out when sealing the front cover. Maybe avoid eg 3 bond or gen Nissan goo which dries too quick and fails easily.

[@hiboostchosh]

This is skid factory 🏭, love this so much guys, can vouch 110% that the N/A block is good for daily 30 psi with some tweaks 😂

[@rowansaxby762]

Best TD42 build channel

[@fossilfuelenthusiast]

Silvertops FTW. Boosted one that had done 400,000km 6 years ago. Still runs flawlessly

[@BodenM]

The oil chamber setup in the turbo TD42 piston is interesting, the VG30DETT actually has an extremely similar setup as well, where the oil squirter squirts oil into a chamber in the piston just like the TD42 does, whereas the regular VG30DE just sprays oil in the vague direction of the underside of the piston crown :P

[@Stungray22]

Top notch editing woody 🔥🤟stepping up the skid factory qualityy vids 👌

[@justinpayne8286]

The precombustion chambers are also known for cracking and falling out too, makes a decent mess of a piston crown

[@RodneyKnockin]

Td42 rocker studs wear against the valve stem, causing a false reading when checking clearances. Can be easliy machined. The machining of the block with the liners out is great advise. Pistons will grab on liner hotspots shorty after rebuild if not corrected

[@northeastrc2725]

Lol the cut out for the valve on the piston 😂

You can also install pre-frozen liners with a sacrificial fan clutch as the alloy face fits nicely and the mounting flange gives a perfect spot to hit ... apparently

Thought the block might be getting a head stud kit instead of bolts. Is the head getting the coolant bypass fitted? Cant wait for the injection side of things video.

[@tonkaturbodiesel]

Only way to turn the kettle off is to build the cooling system to "Derk Spec"including one of his water pumps. I've done it to the letter and I can tow 3t and stay under 95*c

[@DieselAddiction]

Yes, billet water pump, quick as fan hub and fan, best quality radiator and thermostat from quick as.

[@chookx]

@@DieselAddictiongenuine thermostat and rad tends to work better, definitely genuine thermostat derk says the same thing. seen people running hot or even too cold with after market tstats

[@naccas1000]

@@chookx mine was recently running too cold with an aftermarket thermostat, swapped it for a genuine one and waiting to go for a good run to see if its better.

[@rubikmonat6589]

Also all the plastic skirts between the guards and chassis, around the radiator, and between the bonnet and the radiator support panel. I raced one on a stock water pumpand it never got hot until it stopped.

[@DieselAddiction]

@@chookx I carry 1 ton of tools all the time 205kwatw 1130nm stroker, and never gets too hot or run cold, the quick as thermostat blocks off the bypass hole in the bottom of the housing making the coolant flow through the radiator instead of circulating around the block.

[@ZeroFoxENT]

12:13 Well that's an interesting clearance pattern...

[@DarrenBoxhall]

The pads on the rockers that contact the top of the valves wear a groove in them, so when it's noisy and you need to set them, you can't get an accurate measurement. Hell common problem. I used to set them with it running and just slowly tightened the clearance till it just stopped ticking. Works good

[@shoominati23]

I remember a friend got one of the 3 litres when they first came out, I thought it was a bit of a slug and you really had to matt the gas to get up steep inclines whereas the 42 had sufficient power to handle most occassions at half throttle (both turbos)

[@thomasfitzgerald9188]

I was curious with when you did the valve set, obviously the motor isn't at a stage that it can run and get warm yet. What did you do the valve set to, as any spec that I can find is when the motor is warm?

[@Aiden-nl5ti]

Bloody awesome episode

[@bowesterlund3719]

I really enjoy these build vids

[@murraylarkin4324]

I can chime in that a certain Mr or mrs cylinder head in Victoria supplied a TD42 head that after being fitted broke a rocker arm and 12 months later after not being registered/driven broke two more. Obviously warranty was gone by that point but effectively would have been breaking rocker arms in succession. I would imagine there was something with the valve and guide or spring pressures that the stock rockers hated. 4K head did fix said issue. And just a tip, paint mark one corner of the bolts after the first step and then you can tell which ones have been done from that point forward at the other steps

[@mick00000000002]

Mate I enjoy every video up load. I learn thank you. Questions I see on the old block that the piston don't go all the way to the top. So low combustion? Secound you put sealer on the baults on the thread and head. Why the threads. Are the bolts going into a water jacket The injector cap has changed. More fuel. But does this burn out the injectors more do to heat ? Take care guys. Be safe)

[@DieselAddiction]

The CC capacity of turbo pre comps is greater, when you stroke them you have to re calculate compression ratio and have shorter rods made to bring it back to factory specifications.

[@neilm4236]

You laugh, but I'd probably watch and even subscribe to a John only fans if it was him building engines haha. Only fans did start out as a patreon style thing before it got big for allowing adult content. Pretty cool little detail with the oil squirters too, simple but clever design from the engineers. It's also good to see that builds can make use of unloved engines or versions of engines and save them from the scrap heap. As an amateur who's never built an engine when I first saw the corrosion in that TD42 I said that's a bit too crook, but you guys saved it.

After market heads don’t use enough inconel in there pre comps and that’s why they crack.
