#1 of 65 I need some info on isuzu 4jb1 tdi engine by lbonello Nov 14, 2007 (2:04 pm)
Hi    I have an isuzu 4jb1 tdi engine fitted on a landrover. Can any one tell me what is its bhp output. Once I had to change the head gasket because it was leaking a little coolant liquid, but after a while coolant is stil leaking again. however it seems that all of a suuden coolant liquid stopped leaking and now oil is leaking. Is this a normal problem. It also blows some oil from the valve cover. would realy appreciate any help pls.

I own a 2001 3.5 4x4 Trooper and it looks like the #1 cylinder rod bearing has spun. The vehicle has 83,000 miles on it. Does anyone know if the problem can be solved by replacing the crank shaft and bearings or does one have to rebuild or replace the engine? Has anyone else had this problem and actually fixed it?   I am leaning toward replacing the crank shaft and bearings or trying to sell the thing for what ever I can get for it.

Replying to: salves (Jun 25, 2007 1:27 pm) Wow, sounds familiar...My Trooper just crapped out on me (88,000 miles)this past weekend. Exact same problem as yours. What did you end up doing? Did you find someone to fix the bearing, or did you find it too expensive to justify the repair????

Replying to: salves (Jun 25, 2007 1:27 pm) My engine blew 2200 miles after I had an oil change. no warning lights. no engine temp warnings. nothing. my %&*#%#$* trooper had 74000 miles on it. I was the second owner so there was no warranty. i think if there are enough cases of this happening... it seems WAY TOO COMMON already there is a case that it is a defective product and we can get a class action or lawsuit together to compensate us on this piece of crap, cylindar warping, oil burning P.O.S. 3.5 L V6 Isuzu engine.   Please let me know if there are more of us out there... no way should an engine blow with that few miles on it after an oil change.   thanks, MT33 Replies to this message: wlbrown9 (Oct 26, 2007 6:45 am) muttley1 (Nov 14, 2007 7:21 pm) paisan (Nov 14, 2007 8:22 pm)

Replying to: mt33 (Oct 25, 2007 10:23 pm) How was your oil level before it blew? Did you check the oil during the 2200 miles after the oil change? I am having to add oil to my '00 Trooper between 1200 & 1500 miles which according to info posted before is okay by ISUZU. Perhaps the oil pump failed suddenly. Sorry for your loss.

Replying to: wlbrown9 (Oct 26, 2007 6:45 am) Very interesting - I am in the process of buying a 2002 Trooper and when I had the vehicle checked out the oil level was very low. No sign of leaks and pressure gauge was apparently reading fine. Will have to periodically check the oil level as suggested. Are the powertrain warrantees (about which such a big deal is made) not transferable? Replies to this message: paisan (Nov 14, 2007 8:22 pm)

Replying to: muttley1 (Nov 14, 2007 7:21 pm) All car manufacturers require you to check your oil every 1k miles and it can be down 1 quart. Very few motors have blown on these vehicles actually and the 3.5 is a good motor if you check the oil.   -mike
