When I have the chance, I'll scan them in and see if I can post them on the site, or put links to them on my web site. While I usually prefer to learn from other people's mistakes, this time hopefully someone can learn from mine. "

After reading all 4 pages of this....you left out the punchline!!!!@#$#$$#@
Without showing the scan of the TSB.... can you at least reveal what the basic problem was?

Wadestock -

I can't explain it because neither I, nor even the mechanics that fixed it, really understand why this happens. But the bottom line is that if you change your timing belt, DO NOT under any circumstances, rotate the crank or cam pulleys with the belt off or it can seriously screw up your timing. The catch is, this is the exact opposite of what the ISUZU service manual says to do.

I'm moving out of my house tomorrow, or else I'd scan the TSB and post it. I might get to it Monday.

mbeach, the fact that it is wrong in the manual is no suprise.and they do release TSB's for a reason.to correct something that they previously told you to do the wrong way.

kpaske, you are welcome, glad i could help. shawn
