TD42 Compression Test Results Query Please Team

[jff45]

I carry a spare solenoid so I need to be sure I have a method of easily (more or less) swapping it out. Once I have that I can be reasonably sure that I’ll never need it

Better safe than sorry Brother

Little budget Holley lift pump finally installed yesterday Gents on ‘Old Grandpa Spec Ute’ and can’t thank ya’ll enough again
Your tired injector pump advice must have been on the money as I’ve thankfully regained another half a gear to finally get back up over the top of the hills home in 4th again just holding dealer mini max 8psi Safari turbo just on
So a quick history for myself too, same hill prior to replacing injectors was off turbo in 3rd and was worried that I might need to grab 2nd but just made it over.
Dyno tested after replacing injectors which clawed back half a gear yet had still dropped 12rwkw in 12 months since last run with then aggressive mud terrains/same diameter so in theory the loss was much higher found with now all terrains on.
At a best guess I’d estimate that you’ve thankfully got it back up over the 60rwkw mark and that’ll do us just fine for now Legends

EDIT: For honest clarity should’ve added that the last two days in our valley home have been the crispest/coldest air all season but as diesel helpful seasonally known that’s at best 1/2 of new little lift pumps increase thankfully found.
Most noticeable is returned speed of acceleration on the valley flats is almost back but still running a further half a cog uphills tired IP than 12 months ago.

Good news to report, thankfully the old Grandpa Speccy GQ survived trailer lugging 2.0ish+Tonne up to work and back with a heap of leftover return gear/products packed on its poor old ute back too
Just over 9,600km and it only used a total of 40L of R4 Rimula X (15W40)
Zero exhaust smoke hot burning headwind hauling up the entire way, convinced now that modern oil new ‘Rimula’ consistencies don’t suit old clackers with far less than optimal piston rings
Will trial soon a Penrite (20W60-Mineral) closest I could find to OEM (50) specs and see if we can stretch out a rebuild longerer

How many k's on that thing mate? You haven't done anything silly by boosting it have ya?

Clock says sub 400k Plassy Mate but when I started driving it noticed the odometer was intermittently seizing so who knows
Safari dealer whopping turbo tops 8psi snail trail as per above again:



Poor old fella was once proper cooked (head replaced) before my time at the helm these days

Geez thats a lot of oil. And no smoke? 2t tow, 80kmh that thing is happy. You dropping oil on the ground? Using mineral oil?

Heaps mate
The old boys control rings must be tired but when it’s singing at proper diesel temps up to and around 90C ++ it eats up runny oil like a two stroke mix
Next tests will hopefully tell the true tale of aging diesels and thicker dickhead like me needs at 50+ mineralogy theory’s
