Righto it looks like your cam timing is correct and from what i can see No1 cylinder cam lobes appear to be on the Rock, what this means is that one valve has just closed and another is just starting to open, if you move the crank back and forward just a few degrees you will see the valve rockers mo...

My own view is this, Isuzu I'm sure had a plan in the earlier Piazza years on what got fitted to which model variants and as they developed through the years this plan was more or less stuck to, however in the end years of the late eighties I think they lost direction and as each car came off the li...

Never seen a two leg WITH a stop light and never seen a three leg WITHOUT a stop light. The three leg ones I have seen (and owned) have all been on JDM Nero Irmschers and NONE were HBL cars, they were late models though 88/89 and unlike what Clive was saying the top mount screws were exposed style a...

The one I know of definitely came from a used import ex japan, so regardless of which market it was intended for that's where it came from.

Not so, they were fitted to late model (88-89) JDM nero Irmscher models, a few of which made it here, they also had the bonnet with no eyelids and even narrower twin headlamps. These models had the later model tail lamps, different door cards and window switches, different rear quarter windows due t...

The one on the supply line is NOT a pressure regulator. It is what is called a fuel damper, it prevents fuel pulsing but it does not reduce pressure. If you imagine the pump is supplying full pressure to the fuel rail and the FPR is working correctly to maintain the rail pressure everything is right...

Be careful that you identify your fuel lines correctly. There are two "hard pipe' the FPR is fitted on the return line. This is how it maintains fuel pressure in the injector rail. This is not just Piazza, it is standard method on all cars with EFI

Maybe this will help you understand the gear box a bit better, There are "constant mesh" gears and selected gears. If you look at you main cluster image, the input shaft is the one on the left that your clutch is splined on to. The main or output shaft is the one right through the centre o...

I have a piazza gearbox currently dismantled, if you send detailed info on your requirements, pictures, drawings gear tooth and bearing sizes etc I can see if it lines up with what I have. All parts are in good order.

A common source of wet carpet in the front is from the scuttle area. Water gets in the air vents as it does and drains out the two rubber duckbills in the engine bay. If these are blocked water can build up and eventually come down through the heater box on the left. if on both sides you may have ru...

2) The idle set screw, I assume turning it clockwise all the way in will OPEN the throttle blades mechanically and turning the screw counter-clockwise out will let the throttle blades CLOSE? Starting from a turned all the way in position, how many turns out should I go? Meaning, where should I set ...

I'm sorry to tell you that looking at that video, either your timing is out by a mile, your valve timing is wrong or you have the firing order all fucked up. I am assuming here that you have the injector plugs in the right positions as well. Your valve timing will be right or wrong, there is no almo...
