I WAS WONDERING IF ANY ONE KNOWS WHAT THE VALVE LASH ON IT
IT HAS A CROSS FLOW HEAD ON IT. MEANING INTAKE ON ONE SIDE AND EXHAUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OK SO I DONT KNOW WHAT YEAR THE ENGINE IS BUT WOULD LIKE THE HELP ON THAT OK THANKS
DAVE

If its a 2.2 it is .16 on intake and the same for the exhaust.

the twins, 81 pup and 81 LUV both are diesel 2.2



The Energizer Bunny is trying to keep up, and is starting to gasp for air!!

YES I KNOW THAT BUT I GOT THE TRUCK THAT WAY. SOME ONE ELSE PUT IN THE DIESEL IN IT. AND I FOUND THE NUMBERS ON BLOCK IS 4FB1. FOUND OUT THAT IS A 1.8L OK. NOW I AM THINKING OF LOOKING FOR A 86 OR SO TROPER II FOR THE 2.2 TURBO THAT CAME IN IT LOL THANKS

UNLESS ANY NEWER DI TURBO DIESELS THAT CAN PUT IN ITS PLACE????? HAS ANY ONE DONE THIS KIND OR ENGINE SWAP YET??? MAYBE SHOULD TRY TO FIT A DURA MAX IN THERE.

Isuzu sold a 4JB1-T overseas that produced over twice the HP of your 4FB1, and loads more torque. It's supposed to be a great engine. It can fit into a P'up with some body lift (2"). It will probably fit the same mounts, but I don't know about space in the engine bay. These usually come with a 5-speed 4wd transmission still attached and are available from several Japanese Domestic Market ("JDM") importers and often listed on eBay. Some of the IsuzuPup.com members have them. It would turn your LUV into a real beast.

OK I LOOK IN TO IT. I WAS ALSO THINKING MAYBE A 4BT CUMMINS OR SEE IF CAT HAS A BABY 4 CLY ONE TOO LOL

A 4bt Cummins swap in a luv, would not be easy to do, There are only so many trans you can use and What you dont think about is that The Clutch, Most of them are Hyd clutchs, And you have to cut out your inner fender to get the ford or the dodge clutch cyl to fit, and Unless you plan on goin to straight axle then the 4bt weight will never fit with the luv front end, A 4bt weights about 700 pounds, the little 1.9 luv motor is like a 1/4 the weight of that. Haha Just some thot

WOW IF I AM GONA DO ALL THAT THEN SHOULD JUST DROP BIG BLOCK AND REALLY HAVE SOME FUN THEN LOL. I FOUND OUT THAT THE 86 TO 89 TROOPERS HAD A 2.2 TURBO DIESEL THAT SHOULD BOLT UP TO MY TRANS AND STILL USE EVERYTHING I HAVE NOW

THANK YOU FOR THE ADVISE. BUT I MISS MY LUV BECAUSE THE CLUTCH JUST WENT OUT IN IT 4 DAYS AGO

Haha Yea i didnt want to come off the wrong way, it could be done with a will and a way, but in the normal luv frame that would be alot of work, You would just have to rebuild the luv frame to take the weight. I thot about doing it, but i but the ranger frame to put my cab on so maybe the cummins will come later sence now my front inned of the ranger can take the weight of the 4bt now, haha An ive had to mount all the clutch hy, and the brakes and all that good stuff to mount the luv cab just to the ranger frame, so haha maybe a cummins in the works in mine! haha Heres a pic of it, i think it looks Sweet! haha

Guess what i found out that dmax makes a v6 3.0l diesel. I am tring to find out more about it and if it is availble

It's computer controlled, so you will need a lot more than just the engine.
