Starting to seriously think about a td42 conversion?? I have had some things happen that are weighing on this decision and had a look at Rossco's build but his car was a carb model and I have a efi??
I think I am going to look at a whole car and before people say I should just swap the bits off my car onto a td42 I guarantee it is easier to swap the engine..
Not an easy decision as the mighty dollar comes into play and I have spent a small fortune on this kitchen reno..
Hmm?????

I spoke to Rossco once upon a time about it and he said the conversion was easy as but being efi makes a difference

I would rather spend the money on the td42 conversion... I will do a chem fix for now and save my coin and then do it right.
I am sorry but I cant do cans... and if Drew posts up one more pic of a beer glass I will put it up his bottom!!!!!!

Just get some Chemiweld into her if you want to do a TD conversion later. But depending on how much later I suppose. How long would it take to get the head off and change the gasket?
I would try flakes first , not a fan of Chemiweld at all.
Good part of a day if all went well
nice clean patrol mate. its a bugger about the motor. I would put in the td42 but its not as easy as you think.
Its only as hard as you want it to be !!Quote:

I think I am going to have to fix my petrol engine and be happy with it for 2-3 years at minimum (could change?) as I have to get a bigger house before my kids get to much older and kill each other.... and I go crazy watching it happen...blah.
Maybe a new head with hardened valves and whats that mod thats done to the head to help atop them doing a head gasket?????
I will weigh everything up over the next couple of weeks and try and make a decision ?
Turbo your TB Jonathan! You will love it!
Is that mod your talking about the one where they drill extra water entry/exit holes in the side of the head?Quote:

Mine had a reco head put on around 2008 (before I had it) and it was run on dual fuel till I got it (only petrol now). As far as I know, there was no other work done apart from the head and it just clicked over 430,000kms.
But yeah:

Have a look at Scottys (bigrigs) members ride thread. He went a turbo'd efi tb42 and his fuel consumption went down, even when towing and the power went upQuote:

I'll suss it out when i get the chance mate. A mate of mine had a straight gas turbo tb42 that would take off on r33's when he used to race them at the lights lolQuote:

On the trip I was getting a lot of banging noise from under the car and stopped a number of times to see if I could work out what it was... so now I have put my old Pedders shocks back in (one bent rear shock) and all the noise has gone.
They will be sent off to ARB in Thomastown to be rebuilt with all new shaft and seals.
As for the engine it held up very well with the chemical treatment for the trip and the gas tune Georges dad did got it running smooth but this was always a band aid fix until I could figure out what to do.
I have tracked down a whole engine for a good price and will do the swap very soon.. it is running 2 head gaskets and was set up for turbo but I have gone through my finances this week and there is no way I can go down this path at the moment.
So very much sooner than later it is going to be another big effort to fit and engine.
I used my locker on the trip for the first time with Winnie sitting next to me doing a hill climb while I screamed like a little girl!!!!!! I frickin love it!!!!!
Oh well more money I should not be spending is on its way out the door!!!
Bugger! After reading about your score on eBay I now check regularly for awesome deals. Haven't had any luck.
Give me a shout mate if you need a hand with anything.......
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
Same here mate ,give us a call if you need somebody to pass you tools
thats a bit of a buggah there BA........ so how was that adjustable steering dampener you got?
