Re: head coming off again
Afternoon everyone, a quick question when my engine is back together again would it be worth the trouble having it run on an engine dyno before dropping it back in the trol??

Re: head coming off again
Hmmm.... don't know to be honest. These aren't high performance engines, so I would say no its not necessary to do that, but once in the Patrol and all connected up, let them do a full on dyno to ensure the fuel mix is set up 100% to prevent EGT's climbing out of control when driving up a long steep hill.... ( here is where the EGT gauge is very important )
Regards

Re: head coming off again
I have no idea what the cost would be, but AFAIK modern production engines are virtually all run-in on a dyno.
It can be controlled much betterthan on the road.

Peter I've also heard that I spoke to a buddy of mine at UD and he mentioned that if a motor is to be rebuilt they send it to a enginering shop in pretoria they do the engine dyno run in as well. Kodekta or something like that.

Re: head coming off again
Skuus julle manne dit gaan so dol hier aan my Kant met die begin van ñ melkery sedert verlede jaar en die pa word hierdie jaar. Nou ja om terug te kom. Na die 2e rebuild met beter pistons en oorspronklike nissan head gasket injectors se resetting asook ñ herbou na vol turbo spec op die dieselpomp is die wa alias ou isak uiteindelik reg en soos tinus sê het hy met die dyno 147.3kw en 446nm gemaak. Hitte probleem is redelik onder beheer maar ek vermoed in die somer gaan ek die visco fan clutch moet service en dalk kyk na ñ nog groter radiator en definetief ñ cowl, en self moontlik ñ elektroniese waterpomp. Ek moet bysê ek het ñ beeswa van Rustenburg af leeg tot in heidelberg gesleep en to vol terug Rustenburg toe deur jhb spits staande loadshedding verkeer en net ñ matig verhoogde temp en met dit bedoel ek naald net regs van die prentjie op die gauge nooit tot in rooi nie.

Dit klink uitstekend. Ek sal moet kom kuier om al die toorwoorde te kry.
