New to forum but not to patrols

[perk423]

Hi all
As per title I'm new to the forum but have owned Patrols before. I've had an L26 with a Perkins 4236 conversion and a Y60. Altogether done about 700k miles in them.

After the Y60 died I went on to other vehicles as I wasnt too fussed about the mickey-mouse engine that was in the Y61.

However I've started thinking, as I'm fancying returning to Patrols.

So, question:

Can anyone tell me please if the 4.2 diesel or the 4.5 or 4.8 petrol was available in the Y61 for the Japanese market ? 'Cos if they are I'm seriously thinking about importing.

Regards
Andy

Thanks for reply and link. I have seen that one, read it, and still couldnt work out if it specifically said those configurations were available in Japan.

BTW noticed on your profile that you have a GC, thats what I went for after my last Patrol, now have a Grand Cherokee ZG.

Like the car generally, but dont trust it due to electrickery gremlins. Also a bit of a low towing limit.

Before we bought our old r3mR I looked at a couple of ZJ's or it might have been a ZG one was a petrol with LPG conversion but it had a blown head gasket when I looked closer. The second one as I recall was a diesel it had an odd arrangement with four separate cylinder heads.

Our WK(Mk1) is great to drive but it is quite a complex Merc designed V6, for some reason we like the feel of the older WJ with its more plodding 5 cylinder Merc designed unit complete with the 5 cylinder engine note thrum.

dose anyone know how to replace valve guides on a 2.8 y61 patrol

I would be surprised if Japan didn't run the full breadth of Y61 engine options tbh

I'm sure I've seen imported TD42 Y61s that looked Jap spec (eg. no rear lights in bumper).

I run a Jap import TD42 Y60 myself.
