    Nope pistons are all good and there was no sign of excessive heat to tell the truth comparing the 4bd1 to the 1hd-ft now ive had the chance to put both together im glad i have the isuzu as the way things are made in there are so frigging big its no wonder they are so tough

    Compared to my TDI300 the 4BD1 looks like an out house made of sand stone blocks compared to one made of pine weather boards

    As for the knocking and shaking mike had i rekon that a near 1000cc or 1L cylinder capacity firing at the wrong time due to a bad injector would near rip the motor off its mounts and sound like it was being flogged with a FBH

At the moment on a fairly tenuous free internet connection, but plan to get online properly in the next week, and will post properly about the VNT setup, tuning it, and out experiences on the road with it so far.
    So this never happened eh.
    Bit of a letdown to all concerned.

    Yeah it happened. We did that whole debacle at my place, but the 2 week stay turned into a well over 10 week stay, and the animosity soured. Then he vanished
