1982 242DL turbo diesel build

[anders]

Engine is now cleaned, honed and painted ford red. I usually paint all my D24t's Detroit diesel green, but I decided red would look nice under the hood of a red car.

All the goodies to be installed onto this motor. Freshly rebuilt cylinder head with mild port work and all new valves, assembly and machine work done by Aluminum Head Rebuilders in Portland, I have had several heads rebuilt by them and they seem to do very nice work. Head will be held down via ARP head studs and sealed with a geotze head gasket. Pistons will be getting Deves piston rings and the rotating assembly will be getting King main bearings and KS rod bearings.

Ah, what a beauty.

Valve cover is painted, need to add some finishing touches, but looks fairly good.

Looks incredible Anders. Keep the pix coming!

Would dearly love to add a turbo to my NA D24... in my dreams!

Looking great. That turbo looks like it can move some air.
