Note:
1. It is very important that the liquid gaskets listed above or their exact equivalent be used on the vehicle.
2. Be careful to use the specified amount of liquid gasket. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions at all times.
3. Be absolutely sure to remove all lubricants and moisture from the connecting surfaces before applying the liquid gasket.
The connecting surfaces must be perfectly dry.
4. LOCTITE 515 and LOCTITE 518 harden upon contact with a metal surface. Do not apply LOCTITE 515 or LOCTITE 518 between two metal surfaces having a clearance of
greater than 0.25 mm (0.01 in). Poor adhesion will result.

FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel Filter Replacement Procedure
1. Remove the fuel filter by turning it counterclockwise with a filter wrench.
Filter W rench: 5-8840-0253-0 (J-22700)
Note:
Be careful not to spill the fuel in the filter cartridge.




RTW 66ASH003301








2. Clean the fuel filter cartridge fitting faces. This will allow the new fuel filter to seat properly
3. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the O-ring.
4. Turn in the fuel filter until the sealing face comes in contact with the O-ring.
5. Turn in the fuel filter an additional 2/3 of a turn with a filter wrench.
Filter W rench : 5-8840-0253-0 (J-22700)




6. Operate the priming pump until the air discharged completely from fuel system.
7. Start the engine and check for fuel leakage.
Note:
The use of an ISUZU genuine fuel filter is strongly
recommended.

COOLING SYSTEM
Coolant Level
Check the coolant level and replenish the radiator reserve
tank as necessary.
If the coolant level falls below the “MIN” line, carefully
check the cooling system for leakage. Then add enough
coolant to bring the level up to the “MAX” line.



Engine coolant Filling up procedure
1. Make sure that the engine is cool.
Warning:
When the coolant is heated to a high temperature, be
sure not to loosen or remove the rediator cap.
Otherwise you might get scalded by hot vapor or
boiling water.
To open the radiator cap, put a piece of thick cloth on
the cap and loosen the cap slowly to reduce the
pressure when the coolant has become cooler.
2. Open rediator cap pour coolant up to filler neck
3. Pour coolant into reservoir tank up to “MAX” line
4. Tighten radiator cap and start the engine. After idling for 2 to 3 minutes, stop the engine and reopen radiator
cap. If the water level is lower, replenish.
5. After replenish the coolant tighten radiator cap, warm up the engine at about 2000 rpm. Set heater
adjustment to the highest temperature position, and let
the coolant circulate also into heater water system.
6. Check to see the thermometer, continuously idling 5 minutes and stop the engine.
7. W hen the engine has been cooled, check filler neck for water level and replenish if required. Should
extreme shortage of coolant is found, check the
coolant system and reservoir tank hose for leakage.
8. Pour coolant into the reservoir tank up to “MAX” line.

6A – 36 ENGINE MECHANICAL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION









RTW 46AMF000401

The 4J series automotive diesel engine has special designed combustion chambers in the piston. This design
provides superior fuel economy over a wide range of driving conditions.
Auto-thermatic pistons with cast steel struts are used to reduce thermal expansion and resulting engine noise when
the engine is cold.
Chrome plated dry type cylinder liners provide the highest durability.
The laminated steel sheet cylinder head gasket is very durable and, to increase the head gasket reliability.
The crankshaft has been tufftrided to provide a longer service life. Because the crankshaft is tufftrided, it cannot be
reground.
The 4JA1T(L) engine is equipped with the BOSCH VE-Type distributor injection pump.
The 4JH1TC and 4JA1TC engine is equipped with the BOSCH VP44-Type distributor injection pump.
The engine is turbocharger equipped.

Coolant Replenishment
Warning:
When the coolant is heated to a high temperature, be
sure not to loosen or remove the rediator cap.
Otherwise you might get scalded by hot vapor or
boiling water.
To open the radiator cap, put a piece of thick cloth on
the cap and loosen the cap slowly to reduce the
pressure when the coolant has become cooler.
1. Open rediator cap pour coolant up to filler neck
2. Pour coolant into reservoir tank up to "MAX" line
3. Tighten radiator cap and start the engine. After idling for 2 to 3 minutes, stop the engine and reopen radiator
cap. If the water level is lower, replenish.
4. After replenish the coolant tighten radiator cap, warm up the engine at about 2000 rpm. Set heater
adjustment to the highest temperature position, and let
the coolant circulate also into heater water system.
5. Check to see the thermometer, continuously idling 5 minutes and stop the engine.
6. W hen the engine has been cooled, check filler neck for water level and replenish if required. Should extreme
shortage of coolant is found, check the coolant system
and reservoir tank hose for leakage.
7. Pour coolant into the reservoir tank up to "MAX" line.

Engine Warm-Up
After completing the required maintenance procedures,
start the engine and allow it to idle until it is warm.
Check the following:
1. Engine idling speed.
2. Engine noise level.

5. Crankshaft Thrust Bearing
Apply an ample coat of engine oil to the thrust bearings
before installation.
Install the thrust bearings to the crankshaft center journal.
The thrust bearing oil grooves must be facing the sliding
faces.
















6. Crankshaft Bearing Cap With Lower Bearing
Before the crankshaft bearing installation, select the
appropriate bearings in accordance with the description in
CRANK BEARING SELECTION of INSPECTION AND
REPAIR.
1. Apply the recommended liquid gasket or its equivalent to the No. 5 crankshaft bearing cap cylinder body fitting
surfaces at the points shown in the illustration.
NOTE:
Be sure that the bearing cap fitting surface is
completely free of oil before applying the liquid
gasket. Three bond 1207B Do not allow the liquid
gasket to obstruct the cylinder thread holes and
bearings.
ThreeBond 1207B is a fast-drying liquid gasket.
Tighten the bearing caps immediately after applying
the gasket.









2. Install the bearing caps with the bearing cap head
arrow mark facing the front of the engine.The bearing
cap numbers must be facing up.
3. Apply engine oil to the crankshaft bearing cap bolts.















4. Tighten the crankshaft bearing cap bolts to the
specified torque a little at time in the sequence shown
in the illustration.
