Got the sump and balancer back on today and timing cover all torqued up. Should have the motor all back together tomorrow but don't have enough oil or coolant to run it.

Got it running tonight and there are no leaks so far.
I am having an issue with vacuum though which was present before I started this job. I have no vacuum assistance in the brakes or clutch.
There is vacuum to both though but I'm not sure if it's enough? I wouldn't imagine both boosters going faulty at the exact same time.

Think I found my vacuum problem. It's a strange one though. If I block the hose going to the clutch booster then I have brakes working again. If I block the hose going to the brake booster I still have no clutch.
The 1 way valve on the brake line works as It should.
I pulled the clutch booster off and this is what I found.

Gday Winnie nice rig mate...
Just got myself a 1990 TD42 and loving it...
Quick question ...my clutch feels the same at rest as is when its running...recon I need to do the same eh? Cant find leaks anywhere else.
Your clutch booster probably does need a reco. Have you got vacuum to it?Quote:

Sweet, definitely one of the things I want done to mine.
I'll be taking mine off the road in the next month or so..... Time to give it some love
Yeah, I've not had any money to spend on the patrol for quite a while now so there are so many maintenance items that need doing it is not funny. It started to become a pig to drive.Quote:

Awesome Winnie looks smick mate, heck of a lot easier to brace out of the car mine was a nightmare and some of the welds look like bird cr@p but whatever. . . Reckon you should seriously think about powder coating them instead of paint, never get the chance again stripped and out of car. Mine looked nice and all painted but after a bit of driving through vegetation and what not look like poo again pretty quick. . .

Hmm good idea... Any idea rough cost for powder coating? I've never had it done.Quote:

Couple of hundred should cover it maybe. Used a place in Moe before blast away sandblasting and he takes it to his mates for power coating, it's near the roundabout on the way out to Rawson. Will cost a bit extra but heaps worth it i reckon will look smick for years. . .

I had my SS snorkel done in Shepp and it cost $50. Bullbars were $150, reckon its probably a lot quicker than a bullbar, maybe the $100-125 at a guess. That included the light grit blast as well.
Did you tack the housing to the bench or anything? Maybe check it for straightness before installing the components as the weld can pull it a fair bit.
No we didn't. My mate is a boily and was confident he would not bend it.Quote:

How'd he do the top brace, was it stiched bit by bit alternating sides or letting cool in between. ?
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
Maybe some v blocks and measure at different points to see. I machined a length of 4140 rod up that passed through the front centre and into the other side. It was bent to start with and the shaft would not go through. A smll amount of bend is probably ok but if its to much you will destroy axle seals.Quote:

Front diff is in, everything is done now except for bleeding the brakes. Will do that in the morning and then take it for a drive!

Just finished it all and took it for a drive. Holy shit it drives like a luxury car!! Every bush I replaced hadwell and truly expired, hence the incredible difference in ride quality. The brake upgrade is pretty bloody massive as well, my head nearly went through the windscreen!
