Yeah I've got these engine mounts and the vibration at idle is pretty bad. I should have just done it on the one side.Quote:

Yes, I was warned about the Superior mounts by a friend in WA who did the same TB45 Ti auto to TD42 auto conversion. He says he even has his sunroof frame that vibrates when he selects Drive.
I retained the little shock absorbers that the TB45s have on their engine mounts for the TD engine hoping it would help smooth things.
I'll see if I can learn to live with it..
Apologies for the hijack, Hodge
Thanks a lot guys. All awesome advice.
I have changed oil heaps of times before , so i know the basics. just the first time on the 4.2 so, all tips and tricks are welcome as every car has its own hurdles . . .

I cover the oil filters with a plastic shopping bag which stops the oil pouring out and making a mess
I just have a spill tray made out of unistrut with tabs that use some existing bolt holes in the block and oil coolerQuote:

I have seen some bolt on trays under the filters that a bloke sells on the other forum ...Quote:

Which way does the washer go. Plug through the flat side first or the flat side up against the sump ??

Have a look here. Is that what you've got?
...
That's it mate. You legend. Flat side against the sump.
Cheers.
Didn't get to do it today either. Next weekend it is. Spewing.
Hodge, I see in this pic that you have factory cruise control. Any chance of some clear pics of how it connects to the pump?Quote:

Sure mate. I'll take some snaps when I get home later.

Cheers mate, also meant to ask what was the outcome of the noise level you were concerned about? I listened to the video you posted and it sounds very close to the noise level I have which I find annoying.
I know part of my problem is that I'm coming from a super quiet and very smooth TB45E.. :)
I have had a few people tell me it is normal including some fairly knowledgeable blokes in this thread. Well when I say normal I mean it's very common be it normal or not. I got told by my mechanic to see how it goes after an oil change.

I think I'd just like mine to be a little bit less "normal" :)
I think you guys need to drive a clunky old 60's land rover for a couple of weeks then get back in your cars.... if you dont like it after that buy a hybrid.....lol
Sure, but I'm coming from the other end of the spectrum where I was driving a super quiet, super smooth TB45E.Quote:

Tbh I don't give a rats behind how it sounds like, I'm just learning what's a normal and what's a bad sound on a td42. Proactive rather then reactive .

I didn't forget this mate. Just haven't had the car last few days so I'll try and get some snaps later this arvo.Quote:

That will depend on gearing and tyres, 4.1 and 35's nine is 2300 rpm if I remember correctlyQuote:

3 of the valves needed a slight adjustment......not saying that it will fix yours as it may be something else, letting you know anyway
Straight through section on. Now it sounds like a 4.2 ...

Good to hear yours is quiet now. I am pretty confident that mine is the plunger mechanism on the pump. Was just with Mudski before and his sounded quiet just like mine before his amplified greatly. I think my valves are overdue to be adjusted anyway so, I guess it'll all narrow it down sooner or later.Quote:

Oil, filters and fuel filter change finally done. Massive thanks to Bloodyaussie for coming around and observing the amateur. haha
And for driving off to grab a proper sump washer, after I realized they had given me the wrong one, after I squashed it and realized i the end it was too big. Big cheers mate !!!
Now I see what people mean when they talk about the mess when taking the oil filters off... It makes a c$%^ of a mess....
I'l be getting one of them trays like Ben-e-boy has for sure after this!
A little while ago , Jonothan mentioned when he had the straight through pipe on the car, his gear rollover noise wasn't as bad. Happy to report that he was on the money !!!
I've only just realized that today that it's virtually gone, unless I'm really being lazy on the down-gearing... I did gain a bit of power with the pipe on, but how this has helped, I have no idea.
It is just as bad, only now you can't hear it over the exhaust or are distracted by the lovely exhaust note and don't notice it...
Probably both! And yeah I cannot stop listening to this thing wind up nowdays, both left passenger windows are always down now haha!Quote:

How much louder is it inside the car with the windows UP? Does it drone on the highway?
Honestly I have yet to hear any inside annoyance, in contrast to when I had the muffler on. I hardly ever have the radio on, so I would have noticed the extra sound with the straight through pipe on, that would bother me. And I'm on the freeway about 45 minutes worth every day sitting @ 100km/h average.Quote:

Yes you can definitely hear it's a tad deeper and once it spools up you can hear that typical 4.2 "swirl" (pulled that one out of nowhere didn't i) sound. Also now you can definitely hear the turbo whistle that sweet tune... Love it!
Sounds like its a success then ( haha like that one..) I had a straight through on my Hilux (4 pot) and it was pretty loud and droned on the frewway. It didn't bother me and I got used to it, but my wife hated it and it gave her headaches (it was loud..) Interested to see how your wife reacts.

I dont like the look of the nut, spring and washer on the originaly tie down point. Need to use a ht washer or possibly a small insert for it.
Agree Ill make a 6mm plate for you to use if you can give me rough dimensions
I never got to look behind i thought it was a captive nut, no big deal .
I'll drop something off at TJM on Monday for you
