    Late

    This is one of the engines Asia Imports had for sale for $6900. 99 GU TD42T with auto flexplate.
    Friend in Melbourne just bought this one to replace his TB45E.

    Since I fitted a Mamba 16G/6cm I can honestly say my TD42T auto is easily more powerful than my TB45E was.
    It pulls really hard and holds boost well between shifts. A real pleasure to drive now.

    Why so many issues after rebuild? Is it a parts quality problem or labour quality Problem?

    parts quality is a big one - new sleeves that are not round, inconsistent material thickness of sides, not put into block correctly

    crank balancing shops not doing correctly

    head machining shops not doing the job correctly

    the list is endless, except, when a petrol car engine has a problem with shoddy workmanship, its not as expensive as when your building a TD42

    some of the above are from "reputable" workshops
    Tidy Whitey - 99 GU TD42Ti - Diesel Gas, (GUIV Turbo & Intercooler 8Lb boost), 33" Micky T's Baja MTZ's, Dual Batt's, Cargo Barrier, rear draws, HID Super Oscars, winch, Grinch & witch attached and more goodies to come
