tip #2 if you want dual batteries with a tb42e patrol use the piranha tray to suit a 2.8 diesel, you will have to move the vacuum canister and coil but this lets you get a full size 12" battery in the back corner of the engine bay.
tip#3 when you inevitably blow a head/head gasket have a very close look at the head/block to see if the rear most cooling ports behind no6 are corroded, its common for these to corrode resulting in insufficient sealing in this area and repeated failure, solution is to weld/epoxy the ports in the head and epoxy the ports in the block sealing them off completely, this prevents and further failure in the area and does not result in running any hotter
