Are there any of the Isuzu range that run the same engine?
I hope you guys can help a potential owner.
HI jon.
Even though you don't have a Vx so far the facts that you out there in the search for one entitle you to be considered as one.
First of all the first move you must do is to gather info about the rebuild options you can play with & i say so because a new engine can be expensive.
Have the VX diagnosted & figured out where's the knocking coming from & what can be the possible cause of it.
Crankshaft,camshaft & valve/lifters is the most common issues when it comes to knocking.
Have the VX inspected by a certified mechanic to pinpoint what's causing the knocking.
Another option is to call your local ISUZU customer center service & ask which engine are compatible to the VX over there
Dakar was just the begining.
