    Thanks guys, for all the informative feedback and suggestions. Today we ran a compression test and several other tests. Bottom line, the engine is shot. Gonna need a new one. I'm told that I will need a long block motor (all belts, guides etc.). Found a cost effective one online: http://www.123engine.com/isuzu1.php

    Look like a good option to you folks?

    One member had a nightmare with 123engine.com (do a search and you will find several threads.) May have been a fluke, but you might want to search for more information. I've got a rebuilt Jasper engine in my Mustang GT, going on 15 years. I've heard they offer Isuzu long blocks.

    Good to know. I have heard of Jasper engines, but understand they are HYPER retail $$$$$ !!!

    Have you considered an Isuzu Axiom engine? I know of one person on the board that did this. I would search it. I think he was very happy with it.
    Peace.
