DIY rd 28 engine repair nissan patrol

In detail: do-it-yourself repair of the RD 28 Nissan Patrol engine from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

The cone is not there. The timing gear also sits on the same diameter.

Because the Nissan idiots hung a four-kilogram bulldozer on a console only 10 mm long. Image - DIY nissan patrol engine repair rd 28

There is simply nothing for the pulley to hold on to, and the area of ​​interaction between the key and the pulley is also scanty, the key works only half of the force. So you have to squeeze it with tremendous force. And that can be unscrewed due to the constant shifting of moments.

In general, every time I climb to repair something, I remember the Japs with a quiet word. Image - DIY nissan patrol engine repair rd 28

And I am convinced that the VAZ engineering school is an order of magnitude better. Whoever says anything.

I have already changed the pulley 2 times. Once - on Febestus - it blew off, but perhaps because I regretted the thread lock. The second time - the original, has already been running 10 thousand. But the retainer has already poured so much that it began to noticeably slow down already when tightening.

The RD28 engine has been developed for heavy off-road vehicles and executive cars, that is, for the 260 and 160 series of the Nissan manufacturer's line, therefore, all releases of the Patrol model - Y61 and Y60 for the European market, were equipped with this in-line diesel engine. The atmospheric version did not take root, mainly modifications of the RD28T and RD28Ti with turbochargers rolled off the assembly line.

According to the marking, the engine diagram is in-line with 6 cylinders, the upper position of the single camshaft. In total, there are three versions of the internal combustion engine of this series:

  • atmospheric - marked with RD28;
  • turbocharged - designated RD28T;
  • modernized turbine - index RD28Ti, electronic control of the fuel pump.

There was no other volume in the engine of this series, very few aspirated ones were produced, information on them is practically absent. The official manual for the operation of Nissan Patrol contains a description of the parameters of the engine and the operation of overhaul, maintenance.

The main task of installing a turbocharger is to increase power, which the designers did an excellent job.

Since atmospheric engines of this series were practically not produced, the technical characteristics are given for the RD28T modification (turbocharged):
