Hey mate love the Ute goes hard! Have to get the utes together after you finish your build and I put my touches on her! Love the channel and the content bro!
Glad you're enjoying her dude! Hell yeah if you're down we will get the Ute's together and run over everything and do an update on how you're liking it! Glad to hear she's serving you well bro, alot of love and time went into her
The 4JJ1. I have read that these engines are very tolerant to overheating. These are indeed great engines. Isuzu is said to the best probably. If I could just divert you a little, my WL-T loses about half a dip stick of oil in a month. Doesn't overheat, no black or white smoke while driving, no oil smells either. However, I've seen the oil seems to leak slowly from the front left (cold side) just where the head sits on the block. I wonder what could be the reason for that. I've already replaced the head gasket with a Japanese built one but this problem persists. If you could shed some light, that would be great. All the best with the 4JJ1.
Hey mate, thank you for your comment 👏 it's really hard to diagnose without having my hands on it. It could be as simple as a tappet cover seal, or it could be as complex as an oil ring on a piston letting small amounts of oil bypass so the smoke isn't noticeable. That does sound like fast oil consumption though so I'd be exploring leaks, maybe even rear main seal or something, degrease check regularly and try identify where the leak is originating.
