Suddenly being a farmer looks pretty good to me

Fyi for everyone interested.... Im in the middle of moving and all my tools are in storage. Finding a house has been a much greater challenge than I thought. Until then im shut down unfortunately. Thx

Might want to give it a check but ive not had problems with them before

Shoot man. That is terrible. I’ve never seen one go that way which is no comfort I realize. Very sorry

I’ve taken a break from fruitlessly trying to log in and post all of this on 4bt swaps but if someone could take this info and post it up there In the Isuzu 4bd1/2t forum I would apreciate it.......Dougal?

Guy is a wealth of information but he’s busy and doesn’t have time for tons of questions but can be reached here if you want to order. ray.wood@roamerdrive.com Some part numbers.

Allows a 4bd1/2T to bolt directly to an nv4500

I’ve never had a pump rebuilt. I’ve always been content with the stock pumps ability. If your considering high power for the engine I would strongly suggest an intercooler and retarding your timing.

So the bearing housing I believe has to be within 15 degrees of verticle but the drain itself has to do just with resistance of flow causing pooling in the bearing housing and oil migration through the seals on the compressor and turbine side. I have no way of telling if a drain will cause it to...

I have tried to make adaptors like your CAD drawing nick but ran into oil drain issues if I remember correctly. Making custom oil drains became a somewhat involved and expensive rabit hole and I gave up. That style adaptor is easy. How it alters the relationship of the other components is...
