The Nissan TD series is a series of diesel engines manufactured by Nissan. All TD-series engines are inline engines; most versions are four-cylinders aside from the six-cylinder TD42. They have cast iron blocks and crossflow heads, and have swirl-chamber injection (IDI). The valves are pushrod-actuated, and the engine has two valves per cylinder; the camshaft is driven by a set of gears (OHV). Of a simple, somewhat old-fashioned construction, the engines are generally durable if not very powerful.
