Great write-up. Allowed me change my first can belt successfully! I was changing the injector pump due to contaminated fuel, turned out the belt was the easy part! |

I just have to say: thank you!
I will strip off the whole thing just to try it, it is so detailed and easy to follow that it makes me want to get my knuckles scrapped ASAP.
Cheers! |

Hi there!
Rhanagar, I have a couple of questions about this topic, maybe you can help me here:
1. The manual has a note that explicitly says "never rotate the crankshaft clockwise when adjusting the timing belt", however in your procedure you did it a couple of times and everything went fine. Is there something that I am missing here?
2. The manual has another panic note as well that reads: "if on-vehicle timing belt replacement is performed, the crankshaft must not be allowed to turn. If the crankshaft is allowed to turn, piston and valves damage will result.", which leaves me scratching my head. Why would that be?
3. Also, and that is just curiosity, how can I tell if the engine is 180 degrees out (say, if you are not replacing the belt, but reassembling the whole thing from scratch)?
Cheers! |

he done it after the new belt was tensioned up this is to check that all the locking bolts are able to be reinserted in their holes and the engine is still timed up correctly as on this engine it is possible to get the timing out a tooth but the engine will still turn over ok.
if you turn the crankshaft to far with out the camshaft turning then the pistons will hit the valve that are open, you probably won't bend them by hand but if say someone turned the engine by the key then that would bend valves.
you would use the locking bolts and the timing marks, the engine would not be out at all then |

Oh ok, I got it, with the belt already in place, you can turn the engine either way, no problem. Thank you Eithan!
I will try to do the job with a 4jb1t that I got already out of the car, just to practice.
Cheers! |

Hi again!
The engine swap has been a little bit slower than expected, but that's ok, I am replacing pretty much everything I find in dubious shape.
I was wondering, has anyone here replaced the crank front seal and the camshaft seal? I got both, and since I am undoing the timing belt, it may be worthy replacing them at the same time, if that is not a hell of a task.
Thank you again!
Regards, |

|

Hi just wondering how long a timing belt and tensioner kit swap should approximately take isuzu bighorn 1995 3.1. carried out by a professional mechanic? I ask as I just had this done and the bill seems excessive tho I could be wrong.
I was charged 225 pounds fir the kit. I feel that is expensive as my own research was finding them for between 60 and 100 pouds plus 4 hrs labour including vat. Bill is almost 500 pounds.
I know prices will vary but a ball park idea of time and cost from anyone please. Thanks in advance. |

4 hours is about right if not done before.
I would expect £100 for parts .. that is for the timing kit (belt and two pulleys) at around £70 and a water pump at around £30.
Mind you saying that Eurocarparts who supply a lot of garages charge £183 for the timing kit alone.
I would say your expense is the parts and their supplier. _________________ 1990 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Mk.I 2.8TD Manual Lotus Edition

Posted: Sun May 05, 2019 19:04 Post subject: Replacing of fuel pump on a 4jg2 engine |
|
|
Hi, My name is Harry and I own a trooper with a 4jg2 diesel engine. The problem is that my fuel pump is not responsive to the throttle. It has only one idle speed, and cannot be driven. I was told that fuel pump needs to be replaced. I bought another fuel pump online, and now trying to learn all I can how to replace the pump.
I was very happy to see the post here about timing belt replacement. However, since I am not replacing the timing belt, I do not wish to complicate the matter by removing more things than i need to. I removed the cover over the inj pump pulley and I believe I can find the one (1) threaded hole on the backing plate behind the inj pump pulley.
1) is there more than one threaded hole(s) on the backing plate for the inj pump pulley bolts to?
2) if I can find only one threaded hole behind the pump pulley, will that be enough to secure the pump pulley in place and start removing the old pump?
3) Will the new fuel pump shaft key way slot be fitted to the old fuel pump only one way? and cannot be fitted any other way? (i have not seen the shaft keyway slot but I was told that it can only fitted one way to the pump pulley?)
4)If the new fuel pump can be fitted to the old pump pulley, will the new pump timing be the same as the timing of the old fuel pump?
Any comments are greatly appreciated. |
