Engine conversion and Vacume pump setup and location
Hi All
I am currently converting an RD28T into an RD28eti. I have purchased a import RD28T (bare engine) and am looking at moving everything from the RD28eti to make it compatible to put back into my car (1998 GU Patrol). the RD28eti has pushed a rod through the block which exploded and shattered the sump.
I have found a couple of hurdles, which i am hoping that someone can assist me with.
The rocker covers are obviously different, with the RD28eti having a vacume pump and PCV mounted on the top of the rocker cover. The RD28T does not have any bolt-ons to the rocker cover.
The problem is, that the vacume pump is driven by the cam shaft with a cam follower and a special cam on the shaft. it also has an oil injector for that cam. the RD28T does not have either of these, and there is no room in the head to put the oil injector even if i did change over the cam shaft.
If i use the RD28T rocker cover, is there another Vacume pump that i can use that is used on GQ patrols that bolts on somewhere else? otherwise my brakes wont have any vacume assist.
