Isuzu trooper 2.6 Timing set up

[@peterhorniii]

Been looking all over for these three pieces of information in the same place, presented simply. Thanks so much!

[@JeffSelck]

Glad it helped you out!

[@sorenandersen2159]

Trooper videos are much appreciated. Thankyou

[@ktcgarage8572]

Great video, I did my Trooper not too long ago, First time I had ever done one! Your engine looks to be in great shape! Thanks for the video!

[@JeffSelck]

This trooper only had 45,000 miles on it when i purchased it, so yes it is very clean.. Thanks for checking out my most viewed video too lol it was never meant to be watched so much lol

[@ktcgarage8572]

Jeff selck hahaha yes my most watched one was when I didn’t even know how to hold my phone sideways Haha now I have high def cameras and lights and mics and that’s my most watched. Hahaha

[@yosho1502]

If the first piston is at TDC, the distributor rotor is pointing to spark terminal 4 in your video. This is not the case in the Haynes manual, which says to point the distributor rotor to spark 1. We lost the igniting position for our distributor and put it as spark for 1 at TDC and the engine would not start. Fuel is fine, compression is fine, there is spark and since the fuel was not being ignited, there was backfire. What should we do? Thanks

[@JeffSelck]

the manual is not correct..I would set up all your top pulley at the timing mark and the rotor should be pointed up in the direction of the top bolt that holds the distributor.

[@jakebarnhart_sonyalpha]

@@JeffSelck I’m rebuilding top end of my brothers 1988 trooper 2.6 and I’m not sure if I need piston 4 on compression stroke or vice versa. I don’t want to mess it up, right now I’m able to change the lash on the second half(piston 4 intake and exhaust side) is that where I need it to be at or opposite

[@kevinjohnson1566]

​@JeffSelck Absolutely correct! I was like using the manual for hours trying to set the distributor up at #1 cyl and wouldn't work..

[@stosspana599]

Make sure u only ever turn the motor clockwise

[@EurekaRecycler]

is the rotor pointing at # 4 plug wire? Is it not set to #1? Thank you

[@JeffSelck]

Point it to the bolt at the top end that is closest to the firewall And make sure bottom timing mark is close but the top needs to be exact with piston 1 and 4 at tdc. Hope that helps.. if not can call tomorrow to walk you through it

I’m trying to adjust the valves. This is my first time doing it. I had the heads re-done and now I need to adjust all the valves. Do you have any info on that? Thank you.

[@EurekaRecycler]

@@neftalisoto4757 get a Chiltons or Clyimer repair manual.Main thing is avoid too tight of a tolerance

[@Eaglefreek300]

The crank balancers definitely slip. Mine is off approximately 35 degrees.

[@JeffSelck]

They sure do... i was stuck on the side of the interstate for 24 hrs until i found the key had slipped out due to wear and tear....then just pushed it in a little further to make a quick fix till i got home.

[@hardrider5905]

That only effects things when you go to time the motor yeh? By that i mean it can move but it won't actually change the timing unless you retime the dizzy to the new position? I ask as ours has slipped by the looks of it, and it appears to be around 90 degrees, but there is more going on than just that with the spark timing having actually changed by a lot as if the timing belt had jumped a few teeth.

[@mrodriguez2082]

good greetings brother, I have a trooper, but 2.3 I just put it like that, but when I turn it on the revolutions are a little low and the distributor is almost at the limit of advance, what could I do there, greetings and thanks, good video

[@JeffSelck]

I can’t say for sure on the 2.3. I have never worked on one

[@mrodriguez2082]

@@JeffSelck I understand, thank you, here in Venezuela they are the same but they vary by 3/4 of the engine.

El rotor caen en el número 4....ahí párate el orden de encendido?

[@ryanu3679]

I have a problem I have been suffering from for two years, which is high air pressure in the 4ze1 engine

[@jaustin73a]

My truck runs fine but I’m gettin some backfiring. Was told the timing is probably off a little. Do you think this can bite fixed by just adjusting the distributor?

[@JeffSelck]

Yes that is the best way to adjust your timing, loosen the lower bolt, 12 mm I believe. Take a picture or mark it before you move it so u know where u were at

[@cotytrisdale8738]

This was a good one thanks brother

[@mick5740]

Does it matter what type of coolant you put in these ?

[@JeffSelck]

Normal green stuff

I am having vacuum route issues. Could you make a video going over the engine? I tried doing it by the diagram.... But am still off somewhere!

Does the same timing method apply for kb200 petrol engine?

[@JeffSelck]

I don't know enough about it to answer that. Sorry

[@kopsmahn7858]

I had the problem like you but how can I replace the distributor

[@JeffSelck]

remove the two bolts and it slides out.

[@joseentertainmnet8417]

Is that the same way for 86 isuzu 2.3

[@JeffSelck]

I honestly don't know.

[@leiperhatch3698]

Hey Fran I've been having problems with my Isuzu Trooper I can't get any fire from the distributor

Why use no.4 instead of no.1 piston?

[@JeffSelck]

1 and 4 are the same

[@hardrider5905]

@@JeffSelck They don't fire at the same time though do they?

[@JeffSelck]

@@hardrider5905 they rise tdc together.

[@mariojoseescobarmiranda6357]

use the piston 4 because the 1 and 4 gets up at the same time, they are in the top dead center at the same time, but, when the crank and cam are aligned to the time marks, the no1 piston is in TDC but in the exhaust time, and the piston 4 is in TDC but in the compression time. That's why we use the piston 4 to get timming instead the 1.

[@leiperhatch3698]

What do you think it could be

[@mick5740]

Clean engine bay ! 45 k miles and you’ve had all this apart ? Where is the coolant temp sensor ?

Yes the head gasket failed between 2&3
