General Information on Engine Service
The following information on engine service should be noted carefully, as it is important in preventing damage and
contributing to reliable engine performance:
z W hen raising or supporting the engine for any reason, do not use a jack under the oil pan. Due to the small
clearance between the oil pan and the oil pump strainer, jacking against the oil pan may cause damage to the
oil pick up unit.
z The 12-volt electrical system is capable of damaging circuits. W hen performing any work where electrical
terminals could possible be grounded, the ground cable of the battery should be disconnected at the battery.
z Any time the intake air duct or air cleaner is removed, the intake opening should be covered. This will protect
against accidental entrance of foreign material into the cylinder which could cause extensive damage when
the engine is started.
Cylinder Block
The cylinder block is made of cast iron. The crankshaft is supported by five bearings. The bearing cap is made of
nodular cast iron.
Cylinder Head
The cylinder head is made of aluminum alloy casting with a spark plug in the center.
Valve Train
Valve system is a single over head camshaft.
The valves clearance adjustment are hydraulic.
Hydraulic valve lifter adjustment, no adjustment necessary.
Intake Manifold
The intake manifold is made of aluminum alloy.
Exhaust Manifold
The exhaust manifold is made of high Si-Mo nodular iron.
Pistons and Connecting Rods
Aluminum pistons are used after selecting the grade that meets the cylinder bore diameter. Each piston has two
compression rings and one oil ring. The piston pin is made of cast hardened steel. The connecting rod bearings are
made of modular cast iron. The connecting rod bearings are made of steel backed with tri-metal babbitt metal.
Crankshaft and Bearings
The crank shaft is made of modular cast iron. Pins and journal are graded for correct size selection for their bearing.

6 Cylinder Block and Head
7 Throttle Body
8 Heater
The Cooling System is a pressurized type, where the water
pump, which is cambelt driven, forces the circulation of
the coolant through the cylinder block and head. The
thermostat regulates the flow of coolant between the
radiator and the bypass circuit. The heater is part of the
bypass circuit. The throttle body pre-heat is a separate
circuit which is not regulated by the thermostat. An oil
cooler may be fitted as part of this circuit.

ENGINE ELECTRICAL 6D1-5
Battery fluid is a highly corrosive acid.
Should battery fluid come in contact with your eyes, skin,
fabric, or a painted surface, immediately and thoroughly rinse
the affected area with clean tap water.
Never allow metal tools or jumper cables to come in contact
with the positive battery terminal, or any other metal surface of
the vahicle. This will protect against a short circuit.
Always keep batteries out of reach of young children.
Jump Starting Procedure
1. Set the vehicle parking brake and place the shift lever in the
"NEUTRAL" position.
Turn "OFF" the ignition.
Turn "OFF" all lights and any other accessory requiring electrical power.
2. Look at the built-in hydrometer.
If the indication area of the built-in hydrometer is completel
y
clear, do not try to jump start.
3.
Attach the end of one jumper cable to the positive terminal
of the booster battery.
Attach the other end of the same cable to the positive
terminal of the discharged battery.
Do not allow the vehicles to touch each other. This will cause a ground connection, effectively neutralizing the
charging procedure.
Be sure that the booster battery has a 12 volt rating.
4.
Attach one end of the remaining cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery.
Attach the other end of the same cable to a solid engine ground (such as the air conditioning compressor bracket o
r
the generator mounting bracket) of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
The ground connection must be at least 450 mm (18 in.) from the battery of the vehicle whose battery is being
charged.
WARNING: NEVER ATTACH THE END OF THE JUMPER
CABLE DIRECTLY TO THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF THE
DEAD BATTERY.
5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery.
Make sure that all unnecessary electrical accessories have been turned "OFF".
6. Start the engine of the vehicle with the dead battery.
7. To remove the jumper cables, follow the above directions in reverse order.
Be sure to first disconnect the negative cable from the vehicle with the discharged battery.

6D3-2 STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM
Starting System
General Description
Cranking Circuit
The cranking system consists of a battery, starter, starter
switch, starter relay, etc. These main components are
connected.
Starter
The cranking system employs a magnetic type reduction
starter in which the motor shaft is also used as a pinion shaft.
W hen the starter switch is turned on, the contacts of magnetic
switch are closed, and the armature rotates. At the same time,
the plunger is attracted, and the pinion is pushed forward by
the shift lever to mesh with the ring gear.
Then, the ring gear runs to start the engine. W hen the engine
starts and the starter switch is turned off, the plunger returns,
the pinion is disengaged from the ring gear, and the armature
stops rotation. W hen the engine speed is higher than the
pinion, the pinion idles, so that the armature is not driven.
Service Precaution
CAUTION:
Always use the correct fastener in the proper location.
When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part
number for that application. ISUZU will call out those
fasteners that require a replacement after removal. ISUZU
will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers
or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do
not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener
joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect
the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts
and systems.
Diagnosis
Condition Possible cause Correction
Starter does not run Charging failure Repair charging system
Battery Failure Replace Battery
Terminal connection failure Repair or replace terminal connector
and/or wiring harness
Starter switch failure Repair or replace starter switch
Starter failure Repair or replace starter

6D3-8 STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM
General On-Vehicle Inspection
The operating condition of charging system is indicated by the
charge warning lamp. The warning lamp comes on when the
starter switch is turned to "ON" position. The charging system
operates normally if the lamp goes off when the engine starts.
If the warning lamp shows abnormality or if undercharged or
overcharged battery condition is suspected, perform diagnosis
by checking the charging system as follows:
1. Check visually the belt and wiring connector.
2. W ith the engine stopped, turn the stator switch to "ON" position and observe the warning lamp.
If lamp does not come on:
Disconnect wiring connector from generator, and ground the terminal "L" on connector side.
If lamp comes on:
Repair or replace the generator.
Generator
Removal
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Move drive belt tensioner to loose side using wrench then remove drive belt.
3. Disconnect terminal "B" wiring connector and connector.
4. Remove generator assembly.
