Bought a new Isuzu 6BD1-T engine for my '75 TXD45
So, my friend gave me more details about my Isuzu’s engine and it’s not looking good. Internal rust has taken over some bearings. Spark plugs were removed a while ago which means rust in caked inside. Cylinders seem weak and at least 2 are cracked. Instead of farting around all day, I had this new and inexpensive 6BD1-T shipped to a storage facility in Japan. When I decide which shop i’ll use to restore the rig in Japan, i’ll have this engine transported over there.
This is an Isuzu 6BD1-T. It is a 6cyl 5.7L turbodiesel. Found this online from engineandparts.com (Compete Diesel). I included the specs. This engine looks real nice.
