I have a complete 3.2l engine to part out (or sell whole) seized. Only 56k. parts I have are: heads,manifolds (int & ex.) throttle body, p/s pump, alt. will be rebuilt first, a/c comp(locked up), 5-coil packs,injectors, timing cover and intake cover. Ask for anyting I forgot.
open to offers I just need to re-coup a litttle of the $2,100 my new engine cost. :crying:

did you have to replace your engine because of that loud knocking noise everyone is complaining about?

The loud knocking noise is usually caused by a bad timing belt tensor (common on the 93-97 Rodeo; not so much on the 98-04).

Can we ask what caused the engine failure, was it the "no oil"problem we've heard before. If so, how often did you monitor the oil level? Did it have a heavy oil consumption problem? I sure want to avoid the same problem.

also, how many miles on the engine, and any other info that might help some of us avoid an engine failure.

thanks, hope you don't mind me asking

Dealer Claimed "no oil". It may have been low, it used more than a quart/1k. truck had less than 57K on it. I was not driving it when it seized.
I have avoided that from ever happening again..I traded it in on a Tacoma, never will I buy another Isuzu, especially after the horrible treatment from the dealer I bought it from.

UPDATE N THE PARTS:
Engine sold, still have some parts on ebay & more not listed yet.
