td42 engine

i am looking for a td42 engine for my patrol or someone that can rebuild my old engine as it is :blowup: dead over heating with a nocking sound

Hi mate, please head over to the introduction section and post an intro met, we like people today g'day when they come in to this place, it's polite.

Cheers mate.

G-day mate.
Umm. Good luck finding a cheap 4.2 in good nick.
Your best bet would be a rebuild.
You can buy kits as the 4.2 are a sleeved block.
With a bit of common sense, mechanical knowledge and a mate you can easily do most the work yourself.
You'll just need the block head machined flat again as the selves will sit proud a little. And a slight hone won't hurt either.

But it should be about $2000 for a rebuild. Very cheap really..

Plenty of info here and if you get up to the 25 posts grab the manuals as they are a wealth of knowledge to assist you with repairs..

A little more expensive than I last saw. But still $2500 should well and truly see the rebuild complete.
