    - or is it the other way around - cannot remember now
    Gearbox is totally different on td42 to rd28. Transfer cases are the same but diffent adapter housing

    Anyone have any input on the compression readings I posted earlier? Is the engine worth it or am I looking at a dud?

    Hey mate, yeah bugger hoping it would have checked out pretty well with low Ks and sounds like it runs & starts beutiful. Is it worth doing a another test know sometimes they can be a bit temperamental?

    Hey mate, assuming the engine was hot when you did the test?

    Yes. The engine was hot when the test was done - it had just been driven over to the shop. I'm having him go back today and get the valves and lifters adjusted today and then will retest the compression to see if it makes any difference.

    I'm not worried about the Ks on it. I'm a bit more concerned about the low compression readings. When I bought my RD I had one cylinder with a very low reading and it wound up costing me a complete rebuild within the year. Just want to make sure I don't make the same mistake with this engine.

    Yes it was hot/warm. Wasn't it supposed to be?
