well hello ,what patrol do i own ??? well i dont !! dont like them never will !! sorry being honest

but i do have "well the handbrake has an r50 pathy yuk lol"
so why am i here you ask ?????

and im hopeing that with ol aussie ,help a bloke out attitude, i might be able to help my customer out.

i have an y61 patrol in the shop rd28 turbo, we have a new donk to go in,exh inj pump,new turbo,t-belt kit the lot,useing 5 x different manuels "and they all say the same thing, carry out t-belt fittment as follows
1- set crank to BDC keyway to "6 oclock and scribe mark to 3 oclock"
2-cam mark to t-cover
3-inj pump mark on sprocket to t-cover"and making sure the "9"is at same mark
3-fit belt "hmmm im likeing this "
4-inj pump mark to cam mark is " 25 teeth"
5-cam mark to crank scribe mark is " 51 teeth"
all good so far as per manuals !!!!!

6 hmmm some these might help

7-attempt to wind over , i can only get 40 - 60 deg clockwise and then bang it hits the valve ?? wtf!

8-we removed the cam to wind over bottom end to rule out fouling ,all good winds over.
9-re-fit cam try to retard crank timming by one tooth ? no good wont even wind backwards piston hits valves
10- advance crank timming 1 tooth ,still hits
11- advanace it 2 teeth and it will spin ok ,but now keyway is at "8 oclock" not at the 6 oclock as shown in manuals???
but ??? directly below the crank angle angle sensor is an flat marker "imagine a 30mm flat alloy bar protruding approx 40mm out of t-case with a grove all along the end " looks a lot like a timming mark but no book,manual or nissan bloke can tell me what that marker is ??

12-now ,called engine supplyer and told it should be good at those marks and that he gets plenty o calls of t-belt align issues.
and after speaking to the techs at the machine shop they work out how they went wrong.
the lifters are solids with buckets and shims so the lifters arnt hydroliced up !!
13- the cam is the same as the old one.


so please i beg of you ,has anyone had this happen ?? and do you know wat the flat alloy bar is ??

im a landie freak,so i should be able to work this out ,but it has me stumped

G'day Ken
Welcome Landy owner, looking forward to photos from your Landy in those unfortunate locations that you poor ownwers find yourselves in
I nearly bought a series 1 when I was 18 but my Dad wouldn't lend me the 100 bucks I was short, ended up with a '42 Wilys instead.
Still wish I got the Landy as well.
Hope you sort out the Nissan Q's you have as there are really switched on people on this forum.
Good luck and best wishes, only kidding about the reliability, prefer to see some of your track photos
