TD42 Rebuild

[ricster]

Maybe a little diesel pump timing, and a little bit more fuel and it will chugga chugga like a 4.2 six cylinder again...
Well done on this rebuild !!

Awesome news bud

It is running smoothly when driven, on idle however the rev counter goes up and down few rpm, as the engine makes whooo whooo whooo, idle is not that smooth compared to before rebuild, not sure yet why this is.

Feels a bid stiff but that is most likely how it should be for new engine.

I do think that it is on the lean side, as EGT's is not getting higher than 410deg C 3rd gear flat out 3000rpm uphill, level road so far 5th 120km/hr 350-360deg C EGT.

Het jy nog n madman in die voertuig? of n ander egt meter?
Is die idle refs al beter?

'n 3" pyp sal perfek werk! Ek het selfs 'n mooi groot free-flow silencer vir so 3' pyp wat hier by my rondlê wat jy verniet kan kry. Omdat my kar 'n turbo het ry ek met 'n 3" pyp sonder enige silencers, maar ek vermoed dit sal dalk bietjie raas sonder 'n turbo om dinge stil te maak.

Christo het jy nog die silencer?

Nope - weg gegee

Ek glo nie die ontvanger daarvan het dit gebruik nie - sal uitvind of hy dit dalk wil teruggee...

Hy loop soos stroop, nee EGT uitgehaal en in my 3.0Di ingesit.
