Re: TD42 engine assembly
I think it will work perfectly on your block seeing as it was skimmed flat. Just keep it to the spec height or even a fraction less.

Re: TD42 engine assembly
Nice work Michael!
Now, unless you plan on spending a lot of time driving with a very heavily loaded roof rack, remove that newly-painted front stabilizer and pack it away in the garage...

Re: TD42 engine assembly
Would it not be a good time now to fit a relocation kit for those oil filters. Those things must make a serious mess when they are replaced.

Re: TD42 engine assembly
Peter, praat jy van daai "anti-sway bar"? Ek het bietjie opgelees en juis gewonder of ek nie daai quick disconnects moet in sit nie. Ek het ook gelees meeste mense se die Patrol se hanteering word nie regtig beinvloed as mens hulle heeltemal uit haal nie.Peter Connan wrote:Nice work Michael!

Re: TD42 engine assembly
I still have my front sway bar connected, but have removed my rear sway bar, due to the sway bar connects ball joint not lasting longer than 6 months. This is probably due to my love for axle twisters....haha... however what I have found is that the handling is slightly compromised when on the tar roads at speed..... yes my Iron Maiden can get a easy 120km/h speed on the highways . If going around a bend there is a little more body roll, and this can be a problem should you do a swerve at even a medium speed. You caan also feel it when you take a circular off/on ramp. there is considerably more body roll than with the sway bars in.
Having driven in both situations, I would prefer them in, however when off road, the articulation is greatly improved through the axle twisters. My point..... Quick disconnects swaybar links would be the way to go in my opinion, if you plan on doing extreme type off road tracks or trails, but for the average track the Patrols articulation if outstandingly brilliant with them connected.

Re: TD42 engine assembly
Michael, yes, those are what I am talking about.
Cedrick, I suspect the front one makes much less difference than the rear one. As an example almost all the local GQ's don't have sway bars as standard (it was apparently an optional extra in some other markets).
The reason I say this is that the three-link front suspension already has a high resistance to roll, but the rear doesn't.

Re: TD42 engine assembly
Hi Andre
I have built the engine as far as I can without the head. I should receive the valves and headgasket this week so if all goes well ithe engine should be back in the patrol by next weekend or early the week after.
I also still have to install the intercooler and boost pipes which is also going to be a challange.
In the meantime I am also painting the bonnet and fenders as the paint was not great. I am also going to paint the rims and the plastic over fennders..... not sure if thats the correct term for them.
I will upload some more photos of the progress
