6E–276 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
• Oil in the combustion chamber.
• The spark plug gap is not set correctly.
If spark plug fouling is excessive, check the fuel and al
system for possible causes of trouble. If fuel and al
system are normal, install spark plugs of a higher heat
range which have the same physical dimensions as the
original equipment spark plugs.
The following symptoms are characteristics of spark
plugs that are running too hot:
• Fuel mixture is too lean.
• Heat range is incorrect.
If vehicle usage does not conform to normal driving
conditions, a more suitable spark plug may be
substituted.
If fuel and al system are normal, in most cases of this
sort, the problem can be corrected by using a colder
type spark plug with the same physical dimensions as
the original equipment spark plug.
3. Check the gaskets for damage and replace if necessary.
4. Measure the spark plug gap. The specification is 1.0 to 1.1mm (0.039 to 0.043").
5. Adjust the spark gap by bending the grounded electrode. Installation
1. Tighten the spark plug to the 25N·m (2.5kgf·m).
2. Push the spark plug cable in until it snaps in.
Installation Procedure 1. Install the spark plug to the cylinder head.
2. Tighten the spark plug with specified tightening torque.
Tightening Torque
• Bolt: 25N·m (2.5kgf·m) 3. Connect the spark plug cable to the spark plug.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.
NOTE: Verify any DTCs (diagnosis Trouble Code) are
not stored after replacement.
Verify proper connection of spark plug cables for each
cylinders.

3 Using an inside micrometer, measure the piston pin
bore (1). Compare the result with the piston pin
diameter and piston pin to piston pin bore clearance
listed in the specifications, refer to 5 Specifications.
4 If the clearance is excessive, determine which piece is out of specification and replace as required.
5 Replace the piston if any of its dimensions are out of specification.
6 If the new piston does not meet clearance specifications, the cylinder block may need to be
oversized to 0.25 mm. There is only one size of
oversized pistons and rings available for service.
Figure 6A1 – 387
Piston Ring Measurement
1 Measure the piston ring end gap using the following procedure:
a Place the piston ring (1) in the area of the bore where the piston ring will travel, approximately 25 mm below
the deck surface. Ensure the ring is square with the
cylinder bore by positioning the ring with the piston
head.
b Measure the end gap of the piston ring with feeler gauges (2), refer to 5 Specifications.
c If the clearance exceeds the provided specifications, the piston rings must be replaced.
d Repeat the procedure for all piston rings.
Figure 6A1 – 388
2 Measure the piston ring side clearance using the following procedure:
a Roll the piston ring (1) entirely around the piston ring groove. If any binding is caused by the ring groove,
dress the groove with a fine file. If any binding is
caused by a distorted piston ring, replace the ring.
b W ith the piston ring on the piston, use feeler gauges (2) to check clearance at multiple locations.
c Compare the measurements with piston ring side clearance listed in the specifications, refer to 5
Specifications.
d If the clearance is greater than specifications, replace the piston rings.

Inspect
Visual Inspection
NOTE
The following procedure assumes the engine has
been disassembled and cleaned, as described
above.
1 Inspect the crankshaft bearing journals for damage or spun bearings. The crankshaft bearing journals are not repairable and if damage is found, the cylinder block assembly must be replaced.
2 Inspect the primary camshaft chain tensioner mounting surface on the engine block for burrs or any defects that would affect the sealing of the new primary camshaft chain tensioner gasket.
3 Inspect all sealing and mating surfaces for damage, repair or replace the cylinder block assembly if required.
4 Inspect all threaded and through holes for damage or excessive debris.
5 Inspect all bolts for damage, if damaged replace with new bolts only.
6 Inspect the cylinder walls for cracks or damage. The cylinder sleeves are not serviced separately, if the cylinders are damaged the cylinder block assembly must be replaced.
7 Inspect the engine block for cracks. Do not repair any cracks. If cracks are found, the cylinder block assembly must be replaced. Repair any damaged threaded holes, refer to 4.9 Thread Repair Specifications.
Measuring Cylinder Bore Diameter
1 Measure the cylinder bore diameter 37 mm from the deck face (1) using a commercially available bore
gauge or Tool No. J-8087 (2).
2 Record the results and compare with the dimensions listed in the specifications, refer to 5 Specifications.
NOTE
If the cylinder diameter exceeds the
specifications, the cylinder block may be
oversized to 0.25 mm. Only one size of
oversized pistons and rings are available for
service. If the cylinder bore diameter exceeds
specification by more than 0.25 mm, the
cylinder block must be replaced.
Figure 6A1 – 448
Measuring Cylinder Bore Taper
1 Measure the cylinder bore along the thrust surfaces, perpendicular to the crankshaft centreline, at 10 mm below the deck surface and record the measurement.
2 Measure the cylinder bore along the thrust surfaces, perpendicular to the crankshaft centreline, at 100 mm below the deck surface and record the measurement.
3 Calculate the difference between the two measurements. The result will be the cylinder taper.
4 Compare the results with the dimensions listed in the specifications, refer to 5 Specifications.
NOTE
If the cylinder diameter exceeds the
specifications, the cylinder block may be
oversized to 0.25 mm. Only one size of oversized
pistons and rings are available for service. If the
cylinder bore diameter exceeds specification by
more than 0.25 mm, the cylinder block must be
replaced.
Measuring Cylinder Bore Out-of-Round
1 Measure both the thrust and non-thrust cylinder diameter at 10 mm below the deck. Record your measurements.

ISUZU KB P190 2007
Engine Mechanical – V6 Page 6A1–240
2 Calculate the difference between the two measurements. The result will indicate out-of-round at the upper end of
the cylinder.
3 Measure both the thrust and non-thrust cylinder diameter at 100 mm below the deck surface. Record your measurements.
4 Calculate the difference between the two measurements. The result will indicate out-of-round at the lower end of the cylinder.
5 Compare your results with the dimensions listed in the specifications, refer to 5 Specifications.
NOTE
If the cylinder diameter exceeds the
specifications, the cylinder block may be
oversized to 0.25 mm. Only one size of oversized
pistons and rings are available for service. If the
cylinder bore diameter exceeds specification by
more than 0.25 mm, the cylinder block must be
replaced.
Deck Flatness Inspection
1 Ensure the engine block decks are clean and free of gasket material.
2 Inspect the surface for any imperfections or scratches that could inhibit correct cylinder head gasket sealing.
3 Place a straight-edge diagonally across the cylinder block deck face surface.
4 Measure the clearance between the straight-edge and the cylinder block deck face using a feeler gauge
at 4 points along the straight-edge.
5 If the warpage is less than 0.05 mm, the cylinder block deck surface does not require resurfacing.
6 If the warpage is between 0.05 ±0.20 mm or any imperfections or scratches that could inhibit correct
cylinder head gasket sealing are present, the cylinder
block deck surface requires resurfacing.
7 If resurfacing is required the maximum amount that can be removed is 0.25 mm.
8 If the cylinder block deck surface requires more than 0.25 mm material removal the block must be
replaced.
