NISSAN TD42 REBUILD PART 1- ENGINE TEARDOWN

Рет қаралды 203,071

Күн бұрын

Want to know what's inside a Nissan TD42? Why they overheat or how to remove TD42 Injectors? Today on The Skid Factory we make a start on rebuilding the Legendary Nissan TD42 6 cylinder diesel engine.
The TD42 was produced from 1988 til 2006 and available in NA and Turbo formats. They were fitted to Nissan's Patrol, Civilian Bus and large forklifts.
The most common engine in Australia is the early naturally aspirated "Silvertop" engine which are now commonly fitted to later model patrols that suffer failures of the smaller diesels that are factory fitted.
We sourced a high mileage Silvertop with plans to rebuild the engine to turbo specification and fit it to a 2003 Patrol.
The engine is stripped down and checked for wear and we run through the design of the engine and it's variations over the years.

@@kaydog890 'cause people buy SodaStreams, use them a dozen times, the novelty wears off and they can't be arsed getting CO2 refills so they go in the kitchen cupboard forever. But the bottles are big and really sturdy, got a nice wide opening, plus designed for repeat use so you're not drinking up so much plastic and shit like a random 3 year old Pump bottle. Tl;dr 'cause no one uses the actual soda stream lol

Seeing Gus start his journy as "the wizard's apprentice" is great, and I am 100% here for revisiting "old topics" in the name of teaching Gus the craft. If he keeps being passionate about building cars he's gonna end up surpassing his old man one day, simply because he has access to quality education from a young age, and I think Al is going to shed a tear or two of pride when that glorious day arrives.

Nice to see a genuine take on this motor, they were popular for so long & now they've been hated on for a while. Keep your expectations in check for what you need & want and they're a solid powerplant. Not every diesel needs to pump out 900nm 300 HP. Cool to see this one being given a breath of fresh air from the turbo man himself!

It may be of benefit to someone who runs a TD42 , but when the system starts sucking air & stalling & oil thinning out diesel leak internal , it can just be the $2.50 small seal in front of injector pump , take the front cover off & gear & perhaps the glow plugs out before so no compression issues with getting marked placements back (almost did't get the gear to line back to marks due to compression but did it ) & pump off & easy replace small seal in front of pump . . was quoted $1000 for a replacement 'reco' pump (exchange) in Darwin that probable just had that $2.50 seal fix done previous exchange offer . . lots of sharks up in Darwin

Love to see a TD42 being built! They get a lot of shit for the overheating, and they definitely have some pretty dumb issues with their design but, honestly, so do literally all engines. Every engine has those things you gotta watch out for and there's some kinda weird preventative maintenance that's unique to everything, it's rare that an engine - especially a relatively simple one like this - is just straight up a disaster out the gate. Also, awesome to see Gus back in the shed! Kid's gonna have a sick fleet at this rate, can't wait to see him out in the mud shit talking Hilux guys!

@the510wagon Жыл бұрын

Totally agree. If you get your head around the specific issues, and fix 'em most engines end up perfectly reliable. There's plenty of hate for the YD25 but if you keep an eye on a couple of things (they like to run hot too) and factor in a cylinder head replacement at some stage, they're a good motor that make good power too.

Love your work fellas, can't wait to see the big TD crank for the first time 👌 Just a couple of things on TD faults, the pitting in the front timing cover water pump casing is most often caused by cavitation, either by standard water pump impeller blades being too far from the housing, or by having an aftermarket "high flow" water pump that has terrible flow dynamics and cavitates the pump case out bloody fast. There's a bloke in WA that hand makes water pumps for TDs that are supposed to be really good, but you're looking at around $700 and a 6 month wait last I heard. On the other hand, you can just run a genuine water pump with no gasket and a slight smear of silicone With the dual mass crankshafts, harmonics play just as much a role as people fitting huge injector pumps and chasing 200 nagpower. There's a few different mobs out there that have tested them and apparently between 2000 and 2400rpm (where most TDs cruise on the highway in 5th) the harmonics are at their worst. There's a few theories getting around that a Ross harmonic balancer fixes it, others suggest a lightened or aluminium flywheel. Either way if it's in Gus's budget it might be worth sending the crank, flywheel and a new (one that hasn't had the rubber perish after 30 years of oil and heat exposure) harmonic balancer away to be balanced. Either way, have fun with the build, and welcome Gus to the life of owning a four wheeled furnace that burns $100 notes instead of diesel 🤙

The kettle talk is real with OM603 as well. But from personal experience you just need the correct and good quality thermostat and a working visco on it and it's perfectly fine. Oh yeah. And a lot of people forget that radiator cap is actually a service item too and has to hold pressure.
