[growler2058]

Righto, how many k's has your tb42 got on it, on a looked after/maintained vehicle how many k's to expect before rings etc need replacing? Not your flogged one Lucas, were talking well maintained :tease:

I had a TB42 (Dual Fuel) which had 580,000 K's on it when it was taken over by Son in Law and he took it to 600,000 odd before he got T Barred and written off.

Was still going strong and not burning any Oil. Compression was even across all cylinders.

Thanks Bob.

[Winnie]

Mines done 220K and compression is as good as the day it rolled out the factory door.

I like that statement

[billyj]

370k was so healthy at 360k that i felt the need to shove some boost down its throat.

[Winnie]

Mine had done a head gasket before 300k but other than that the engine was great. It had the head done before I bought it.

[Bob]

Or is it a secret

Your "mate" won't be able to handle the power.....

[Punderhead]

Your "mate" won't be able to handle the power.....

I think his mate is sick of his new zd30 gu and wants something reliable and robust!

[Bob]

All of my Patrols with the exception of the Current one were powered by TB42's and I have always found them to be a very reliable Motor.
A little thirsty but if they come with LPG already fitted are a lot more economical.
I have heard of them going over the 1 Million K's. Built like a Brick S&^t House.

PS The Motors that I had on LPG I always ran through one Tank of ULP in every 4 Fills

[growler2058]
