Hi guys, I need some advice for the maintenance of my GQ Y60 with td42 engine of 1988

has 345,000 kilometers is pretty good, consumes some oil but I think more 'than eating lose from the casing area crankshaft oil seals.

It does not heat and does not consume water.

what kind of preventive maintenance do you recommend to lengthen life and keep it reliable?

Injectors, water pump, fuel pump, valve clearance, would be better to redo them?

The belt is changed or the t distribution and 'gear?

What are the weaknesses to watch out for this engine?

Thanks AB, I was looking for this!

Mudrunner, more forward can disturb him, although I'm not going to fit huge tires, the most of the 33/10, 50 0 12.50 and before the turbo work on the ring and pinion

In the past in my old toy bj70 I set the AXT turbo and I was very good!
