TD42 build about to start. Need some direction...

[mudski]

O.k
I think I need to get off my bee hind and start with this TD on mine thats only been sitting here for well over 18months. As I get the coin from now on I will be putting it aside to do bit by bit this build up.
So what I have here

• is the block with the liners still in, camshaft still in and the oil squirters.
• No head but thats sorted. Got an OEM head lined up complete with teh lot.
• Rebuild kit, also sorted.
• I have an IP pump that needs a rebuild, it has no compensator so I am assuming I can get one put on???
• Need a turbo
• Intercooler and hosing
• Injectors
• Alternator
• A/c pump
• Radiator
• and anything else I need. Lol

So first things first. I should get the block crack tested. I need to remove the liners, squirters and camshaft. How do I remove the liners? Anyone know someone in the northern burbs that can test the block? I might ring JPC and ask Mark there but someone here might know.

Thanks.

Sorry Ben. I forgot to mention all that...
I have all that gear too. And its out of a GU TD42T. I just need to start, even if its just removing the liners and getting it crack tested. I will be building, or buying stuff as I get the funds. I though of just saving until I have enough but that will never happen. Cash is like booze to me, I have to consume it instantly. I'm shithouse at holding money...Lol.

Yeah I get that but BA has nothing to change over.... Sorry if I sound confused, which I am. Too much going on makes my brain fuzzy....Lol

Its going to be a long and slow proceess Eric but I need to atleast start, then it will give me the drive to continue.
My ZD is still going gangbusters, tows the camper without a worry, has plenty of guts for what it is. But we (the family) would like to do some desert trips and I just don't trust it. Especially after what happened to a friend of mind last year, two weeks before Rusty's ZD went boom. 300ks out of Uluru and his went bang. 3 1/2K later it was towed home.
Besides I have always wanted a TD42 but couldn't afford one at the time. Still can't really, but trying....Lol
