New build thread from Arrowmntdiesel 87 4x4

[Halden]

Hwy mark, I'm curious if you pressure lubed the engine after assembly or did you just use assembly grease?

Hello Halden,

The engine was not completely overhauled. New rod bearings and front end parts, Valve adjustment. This was a good running engine to start with.'

More pictures to come.

That looks like a great job! Hopefully someone else is still rebuilding this old pups. I'll have to do that myself later, I've already removed everything from the subframe. Thoose lower arm bushing are famous to be stuborn even here in Europe.

With the tooth being broken on the lower countershaft, that piece is a cast and machined component that includes all the other gears on the countershaft. It is not singularly replaceable. That means that if I don't have the exact matching countershaft to replace it with, then all the mates on the main shaft need to be replaced with it as well. (Which is what I ended up doing) Isuzu ended up using several different pitches and teeth count on the gears and the casting on the countershaft (rings) are an indicator of which gears they are.

Where you able to find replacement gears for your transmission? How did you do it?
