TB45 engine
Posted: 23 Jun 2019 17:57
My TB45 engine is for sale.
It is fitted with the carb and distributor from a TB42, but I also have the fuel injection intake manifold it left the factory with. Before I bought it, it had a Van Der Linde stage-2 conversion done (IE gas flow and cam timing).
The engine was re-built less than 30 000km ago (by Errol and myself) and features the stronger TB42 con-rods (ideal for a turbo conversion) and new 20 though pistons.
Compression is good on all 6 cylinders, but there is an oil pressure problem, and will need new bearings and possibly a crank re-grind (was not noisy yet, but it did run at low revs without oil pressure for a while. It may also need a new front cover (the oil pump is part of this and is not available separately).
Also, the carb's tuning is not correct and I don't think the distributor's advance curves are ideal for the 4.5. Oh, and the dizzy cap is broken and the HT leads are missing.
Also comes with starter and alternator, but not the power steering pump or the air con compressor.
What offers?
