Everything that you don't show that you think is boring content. Thats the kind of content alot of us would actually like to see.
Seconded
Third that
I agree. These guys rebuild cars from the ground up... and they show it al in lile 4 or 5 episodes. So much content gets left out, that for us non builders.. would find it interesting.
I would be checking the converter bolts first. Sounds exactly like my old blown 355 stroker. We thought it spun a bearing but it was just loose bolts on the converter to the flex plate
Sorry to hear what's happen, hope there isn't any further damage done other then the crank
Man I feel for you. That must have been a real kick in the guts. Keep at it mate, you’ll get passed it. On the up side, it will be more good video content and I’ll be tuning in.
Man that really sucks, hope it all goes quickly and as easy as possible.
Thanks bro! We will be back at it next week 😆
check ya convertor bolts! common as hell with not enough tension and not enough locktight! good luck brother!
Awesome to see the hurdles mate I’m looking at my first conversion and I feel like I want to burn my patrol
Absolutely Devo For Ya Man, Was So Keen To See This Thing On The Dyno Making Some Healthy Figures
Tough luck homie that’s a kick in the guts after the amount of work already gone into it !!
Devastated for you bro but I’m keen to see the bottom end build up
How come you used desta mate? I’m keen to get my dmax tuned and I’m up on the sunnycoast I’m just trying to figure out who to use? I’ve heard some horror up this way about shit tunes and don’t need the headache! Desta obviously do a pretty good job tho hey?
Common as anything on them, I’ve seen them pull the main cap bolts straight out of the block with billet cranks too
Hey mate, check your converter and flex plate bolts. It sounds like the flex plate or converter bolts knocking on each other.
You sir are onto it!! Haha
That was my first thought. Did u measure the setback of the converter?
Bummer Dude.
Converter bolts ?
The only broken crank I've seen was a 4jj1. Ran but no drive. Sounded like yours does.
Hang in there mate, the 4J will be worth it once all sweet 👍
Ohhh no how bloody horrible is that!!! 😢
This is why a standard show room floor motor lasts for ever lol more pressure bigger injectors more fuel more boost then problem's
What set back back for you mate. Still a great video on set backs and what you do to correct it… Keep at it as it will be worth it when done. Hoping it is just the flex plate. These issues are usually cheap as chips to fix or full blown rebuilds. Can’t wait for the next vid.
Dynos and old motors don’t mix really well I think you grabbed a piston how well did you bleed the coolant system??
Billet cranks arnt a fix for them seen plenty of billet cranks snap on the 4js. 4js are made in Thailand so the block castings aren't as good as the YD25, 1KD, ZD30 crd. Im making 420hp from my yd25 stock apart from arp studs. Its very important you get aircraft grade cracktesting done as well I do that to all my cranks as it'll pickup the cracks the machine shop cant see.
Aren’t 1KD’s Thai built aswell?
@@rob7385 nah Japan that why you don't see as many big power 1kds, yd25s in Thailand because it's expensive for them. 4js are cheap af for them so when they snap the crank not a big issue
@@yd2532 fair enough
@@yd2532 so are the vehicles just assembled in Thailand? And motor built in Japan? Cos I’m sure I read something about them being built in Thailand and also India too
@@rob7385 ye the cars were assembled in Thailand for some of the Hiluxs and navaras but engines made in japan
Sad news there mate but I hope that she’ll get running again
Bugger, though the best thing about breakages are the upgrades!
Wheres the old ZD30💪
In the bin 😂
Could it not just be something in the timing?
Doing a conversion you are always going to have issues. Did a 5L Holden V8 into a GQ once, nightmare.
Bugger, just what you didn't want. But looking forward to the tear down and fix!
This means the build video is going to be longer. All jokes aside hope everything is fixable and that everything works out.
Put a TD in it , turn the key, and be done with it .
Jeez you’re a creative one hey
That’s sad news maybe should of keep the crd30 in as these a guy in w.a getting good hp out of them,hope it’s a easy fix 👍🤙
I'd rather this patrol with a snapped crank than a zd30
@@DarrenBoxhall 😂😂 dont disrespect the ZD30 brah.
@@DarrenBoxhall ZD30 would never have snapped a crank ;)
@@ethanpicken6992 because it has 80hp. Make it 100hp and it will hole a piston. Zd30, td42 and rd28. Atrocious engines
@@DarrenBoxhall like any engine, tune it properly, do the right mods, and 200hp is reliable. The factory bottom end of the ZD is much better than the 4J. Most ZD’s come in at about 100hp on a roller dyno, the factory boost control lets it down and causes a lot of issues with a bigger exhaust and an EGR block. The EGR issue can be fixed by disabling it in the ECU, and manual boost control fixes the boost bounce. I get that maybe you’re brand loyal or whatever, but maybe talk to people who know the engines, maybe you’ll be surprised.
I dont think its a crank, thats just not how they normally break. They break from the maincaps stretching and moving after a long period of driving above standard power and nearly every case they break you can see the front balancer shaking and spitting oil through the front main. It just seems very unlikely for that to break at 200hp on the first pull, theres people running 400hp for years before the crank breaks and they are all paired with manuals autos seem to help them last longer. Also if for some strange reason it is the crank you cant just replace the crank with a billet one you must do billet maincaps as well otherwise you will simply snap your new billet crank at around the same power level
Oh dear
hello Roamlyfe
Just watching now, what a shame after all your efforts - really hope you can get overcome this. ✌️
Fuarrrr:( Big sad
Shoulda gone a TD… 😬
More like shoulda just run more power through the zd. They don’t break cranks like 4js do
Shoulda put a Barra in it lad would of been doing skids by now
I'm about to 4j my patrol. didn't wanna see this video haha
Keep going bro! It wasn’t a big issue 🤫🤘
@@RoamLyfe I love the fact you’ve already got it sorted Got anything to do with some of these “just gotta tighten er up a bit” comments? No spoilers, stoaked the engines not cooked
Not a great fan of dynos !
Sad news man just think what ever is broken will be upgraded and the car will be better for it dont feel beat
In my opinion, the 4jj1 isn’t supposed to make that much power on 35s. And when it does it will put a lot of stress on it. Obviously it sucks so I hope it all goes well. Also I’ll mention I haven’t watched the video yet so I have no clue whether you sorted it by the end of the video.
They use the 4j in the lighter duty npr trucks with 6.5 tone gvm. I promise you its not working hard, if you ever take apart a 4j and compare it to other similar classed diesels everything is huge compared to its competition. I dare say they havent snapped the crank (i could be wrong but)
@@chipchip48 but in the trucks they use different parts and shit for em, not a high power. But like I said, in my opinion, not good for patrols and cruisers. Good for dmaxes, my dad has a dmax, and as much as it is a shit box it goes well up hills, but the car is complete crap and the turbo is fucked already 😂
@@kadenmackriell4751 the trucks use the exact same engine the only difference is the alternator location and size, and you bring up patrols so im assuming your trying to compare it to the td42 so lets go over some fun facts. The 4jj1 makes more torque and hp then any model of td42 ever produced and it makes that torque at 1600rpm so anything above 1600rpm it makes more power then a td42 while also using maybe 2/3rds the fuel
@@chipchip48 so your saying it’s the exact same motor? It can power a 6t truck but struggles to tow an ultimate campers camper trailer, 🤔. Makes sense. Maybe it makes more power then a td42 which is shit anyway but to make 250hp, you won’t have it for very long, and he didn’t have it for very long. I get that this time it might not be from the power and it’s most likely not, but it’s the same thing with a 1kd, sure you can do it, but it’s not worth it, again in my opinion.
Dmax and patrols nearly weight the same from factory! I think it’s only about 150kgs between a Gu and a dmax
4jj1 still standing up to blowning up easy
This is public in playlists btw
Shit situation mate. But didn't you pull the sump and check all the bearings?
Mate Put a 4jj1 tcx or a 4jj3 tcx
are you sure its not a TD42 in there with a Bluetooth crank
Sure it's not flywheel bolts man?
Thrust bearings are a common issue with these motors. They wear then the crank moves back and forward giving a knocking noise. Apparently 1 in 3 engines do it. Ditch the 4j and go for an om606
1 in 3 motors do this ???? Where did you hear that ahaha there would be lawsuits everywhere ive done 450 000 kms on mine never skipped a beat
@@chipchip48 kzhead.info/sun/Y9SLpMqEZ6mii5s/bejne.html
Making numbers up I see 😂
@Rob Ras did you watch the video i shared? I came across the 4j engines when i was looking for a motor to put in my gq patrol. Putting an engine with known crank issues in my patrol is a no brainer. It might be ok for u city boys but out here in the bush if your motor goes your up shit creek without a paddle. So go ahead and put the shit 4j motors in your pretty city buses. Stupidity is a side effect of the cvd vaxes and it looks like you city girls have over dosed.
Tb42 swap would have been cool to see I know nothing about the 4jj1
Should’ve gone the landcruiser
Modified cars😂😂 ❤
I say cast pistons don't like boost or Conrod bearing not sure why people build engine out side in should be inside out poor man pays twice
He didn't pull it apart though, it's 200 something thousand unopened kms
Pretty sure it going to be broken flex plate.
What a waste, you should have stuck with the zd30. 4jj1 are so overrated.
unreliable .. not worth it .. should of kept the ZD30 CRD !! Poor Patrol !! well explained video 🛻📹🤙😎
Mods=unreliability in my book. I only ever mess with cosmetic stuff. Travelling into the never never is a must with reliability for me. Bad luck with your issue. I feel your pain.
1KD time 😮
That would be dope
1kd can't even stay together at stock power levels, possibly one of the worst crd ever made
@@jarrod1687 🤣🤣 you funny man
