1999 GU 4.2 TD wagon. Engine valve timing adjustment
G'day all,
Have a GU wagon with 4.2TD engine - 415,000klm. Have adjusted valve timing (tappets) twice - at 150,000klm and 280,000klm. It was hardly worth the exercise because adjustments required were minimal (less than 1 thou).
Have not adjusted since. The engine is running beautifully.
What is the general feeling about valve timing adjustments on the 4.2TD?
I get the feeling this engine will easily run to 800,000klm.
Nikko

Yes thats a bullet proof engine!
After how long do they need adjustment? Are all TD42s manually adjusted or did they have hydraulic tappets too?
