Mates after two rounds of head problems on my RD28T, I've found a guy with a TD42 donor car (TD42 with ZD30 drivetrain) who is willing to do a complete swap for me - engine, transmission and rear axle and anything else needed. I've read through the forums here and have an idea about what is required to modify the RD chassis to fit the new setup, but I have some questions about the TD42 in general.
The TD42 is a 1995 silver top n/a with about 180000km on it. He himself has put about 40k on the engine. What do I need to look for with the TD? Are there any problems that would show up with that kind of kms on the engine?
I know these are legendary for reliability, I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing before dropping that kind of cash.
