Apparently the harmonic balancer outside pulley can move thus the timing mark can be off .. I finished mine off with a vacuum gauge moving the distributor a bit 'till I have the highest reading .
4ZE1 timing is done off of lead number #4 (not #1) and should be done at 900 RPM to 12 Degrees BTDC with the VSV disconnected and something about plugging a thing on the purge tank, at least on the EFI model.
The 2.6 4ZE1 is a great engine. Just take good care of it. My 89 Trooper has 315000 miles on it and runs strong and accurate. With a weber carburetor, exhaust headers and smog delete it is a happy engine. And it is easy to work on.
Good enough to have a world wide following. Look up 4Z engines on facebook. You,ll see. However,... this engine requires manual valve service every 30k and when people have them rebuilt in north America... typically the engine shops install generic aftermarket flat top pistons. These aftermarket units are weaker than factory Isuzu piston tops. This leads to broken ring guides and broken heat flanges/skirts. Both issues mentioned here lead to premature failure and a misunderstood bad reputation. Use Isuzu piston heads, do valve lash and oil changes on time, you,ll be happy.
I got the same engine but the dumpstick looks not the engine's, what is the oil capacity for 4ze1? Currently I put 3.5L of oil but I believe it's much lower than the vehicle required...
Bud, I just found your comment. 4ZE1 will be just a hair under 4L. Depending on where you live. I can send a used OEM dipstick. if that can't be found locally. shoot an e-mail
Yes, on the ITEC systems, the distributor is the crank angle sensor. Its a photoelectric distributor that uses an optical eye to see what position the shaft is in. 259 degrees and then TDC
This Troop sat in the bush for 3 years before I filmed this video, the exhaust was rotten, and it was burning a bit rich. if you have straight pipe exhaust it may also do the same thing as there is not muffler. I replaced the exhaust on this troop with Walker exhaust and a Bosche O2 sensor.
I liked how you Exercise great patience finding the marks on the pulley wheel good job.

The crannk shaft position are in the distribuitor ( Isuzu 2.6 4ze1)?

Can a 4ze1 work with a five speed box
whats making the popping noise when you rev it right up? because my motor does the same
