ENGINE MECHANICAL (4JK1/4JJ1) 6A-3 ISUZU DIESEL ENGINE (4JK1/4JJ1) Service Precautions Matters that require attention in terms of maintenance To prevent damage to the engine and ensure reliability of its performance, pay attention to the following in maintaining the engine: • When lifting up or supporting the engine, do not apply a jack on the oil pan. When taking down the engine on the ground, do not make the bearing surface of the oil pan touch the ground directly. Use a wooden frame, for example, to support the engine with the engine foot and the flywheel housing. Because there is only a small clearance between the oil pan and the oil pump strainer, it can damage the oil pan and the oil strainer. • When the air duct or air cleaner is removed, cover the air intake opening to prevent foreign matter from getting into the cylinder. If it gets contaminated, it can considerably damage the cylinder and others while the engine is operating. • When maintaining the engine, never fail to remove the battery earth cable. If not, it may damage the wire harness or electrical parts. If you need electricity on for the purpose of inspection, for instance, watch out for short circuits and others. • Apply engine oil to the sliding contact surfaces of the engine before reassembling it. This ensures adequate lubrication when the engine is first started. • When valve train parts, pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, connecting rod bearings or crankshaft journal bearings are removed, put them in order and keep them. • When installing them, put them back in the same location they were removed from. • Gaskets, oil seals, O-rings, etc. must be replaced with new ones when the engine is reassembled. • As for parts where a liquid gasket is used, remove an old liquid gasket completely and clean it up thoroughly so that no oil, water or dust is clinging to them. Then, apply the designated liquid gasket to each place anew before assembly. • Surfaces covered with liquid gasket must be assembled within 5 minutes of gasket application. If more than 5 minutes has elapsed, remove the existing liquid gasket and apply a new liquid gasket. • When assembling or installing parts, fasten them with the prescribed tightening torque so that they are installed properly. Matters that require attention in specifically dealing with this engine. Holes or clearances in the fuel system, which serve as a passage of fuel, including the inside of the injector, are made with extreme precision. For this reason, they are highly sensitive to foreign matter and, if it gets in, it can lead to an accident on the road, for instance; thus, make sure that foreign matter is prevented from getting in. When servicing the fuel system, every precaution must be taken to prevent the entry of foreign material into the system. • Before beginning the service procedure, wash the fuel line and the surrounding area. • Perform the service procedures with clean hands. Do not wear work gloves. • Immediately after removing the fuel hose and/or fuel pipe, carefully tape vinyl bags over the exposed ends of the hose or pipe. • If parts are to be replaced (fuel hose, fuel pipe, etc.) do not open the new part packaging until installation. Work procedure • The fuel opening must be quickly sealed when removing the fuel pipe, injection pipe, fuel injector, fuel supply pump, and fuel rail. • The eyebolts and gasket must be stored in a clean parts box with a lid to prevent adhesion of foreign matter. • Fuel leakage could cause fires. Therefore, after finishing the work, wipe off the fuel that has leaked out and make sure there is no fuel leakage after starting the engine.
6A-4 ENGINE MECHANICAL (4JK1/4JJ1) How to read the model (This illustration is 4JK1 engine) RTW56ALF004701 Legend 1. Engine Model (Stamped) 2. Engine Number (Stamped) 3. Front Explanation of functions and operations Electronic engine control With the control unit, the range from injection to air intake/exhaust, including fuel injection quantity, injection timing, intake air restriction, EGR, and idling rpm, is controlled. Piston The piston is aluminum-alloy and a thermal flow piston with a strut cast, while the combustion chamber is a round reentrant type. Cylinder head The cylinder head is aluminum-alloy and there are 4 valves per cylinder. The angular tightening method of the cylinder head bolt further increases reliability and durability.
