steve i took a few pics on Mrs flash new phone before i towed it in. But i think they got deleted by accident.
Its at a mechanic now & after a quick diagnois taking it off the car trailer he suggested that maybe the alloy plate between the block & timimg assembly mite be what causing the leak, as i explained that i had replaced the cam & crank seal with no success..

here`s a pic of what the plate looks like on the original motor.
We have not removed this plate off the rebuilt engine.
I have no idea whats going to cost to fix this oil leak.

Also if anyone needs snapshots of a 4jg2 engine, ive got 1 on stand 50% disassembled

On a positive note . We finnally got a dual battery setup in the MUx.
We purchased the car in june with this option...
Isuzu got tjm to install it.
We need it to run our beloved 60l evakool fridge/freezer

Geeves you can sticky this post elsewhere if it helps.

Hi Ben
The wizard looks small to the MU-X in the photo out side the kakadu sign on the trailer if it is leaking oil out of the area they think it is I think it might be engine out to fix it.
I would be getting written report of mechanic and sending it to CDA and asking for compensation off them they have a top rep for building engines but something has gone wrong on this one.
Usually its water that leaks from this gasket is above the water pump not oil.
Still a good looking wizard on that trailer but would still like photos of interior and engine bay and if air con working.
Cheers steve

engine out...?
Does the sump have to come off to remove the alloy plate?

I think so maybe geeves might know he is the guru on Isuzu's

That plate goes over the crank as well. I had a leak in mine due to a bad oring and it was done in place but easier out esspecially if someone else is paying

ok surely something good will happen this week.
Had a bad dream the kangaroo's lost the 4 nation finals, & have head ache a brown dog couldnt junp over.

Those NT stubbies can do that to you next morning give you a bad head ache that's why I drink VB or Jim Beam Jack Daniels.
That MU-X looks the goods under the bonnet with the twin battery set up Ben na it was just a bad dream about the 4 nations.
