Hi, I also suspect it’s a compression issue, which is why I was thinking of performing a cylinder leak-down test. I’m not sure if other BJ40s have the same problem; I’ve noticed that no one on the forum has replied mentioning a similar issue.

Thanks for your replies. I would also like an opinion regarding compression. The manual specifies a minimum compression of 30 kg/cm², and elsewhere mentions a minimum compression of 20 kg/cm². In your opinion, what could the maximum compression reach?

bj40 3000 diesel del dicembre 1980 Do they all have that stain underneath? I wonder why it didn't do that before the engine rebuild. I also think it might be due to the engine block being decked by two-tenths, which raised the compression too much.

Thanks, but I wanted to figure out if it's a problem with excessive crankcase pressure. I think I'll take it in for a leak-down test.

I've covered 15,000 km; it’s not exactly leaking oil—it’s hot oil vapor that drips from the breather hose when it cools down. Maybe the compression is a bit high—32/33 per cylinder. Could that be it?

Hi everyone. Can anyone tell me why my engine—which was completely rebuilt 16,000 km ago—is leaving an oil spot on the floor right under the breather hose? Does anyone else have this problem? tank you

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if there's a larger gasket?

I was looking at your post with the measurements; is the nozzle housing 4.2mm? If so, when you have the chance, can you measure the nozzle protrusion from the injector holder? What code do you have on your cylinder head? Thanks

I'm sure I've never changed them, I've only ever changed the nozzle. I must also say that I bought it when it was 5 years old and had 90,000km on it, and I don't think the previous owner changed them. Why did they always work fine until the cylinder head was replaced?

I'll explain everything to you; the injectors I've had since 1980 correspond to the code 23600 56020 but since I changed the cylinder head they no longer work because they don't reach the bottom of the cylinder head. In fact, from the photos on the internet, the 56011 has a longer protrusion...

Hi, my model is year 12/1980 bj40 lvkc. My injectors are also 23600 56020 but with the new cylinder head they don't work. In fact, on Amayama for my vehicle it gives me the code 23600 56011. I can't understand this inconsistency. I'll have to mill my injectors so that they compress the firewall...

codice testata 1110156034 ; codice iniettore 23600 56011 o 23600 56020

Hi, if your cylinder head is a 3B, could you measure the depth of the injector nozzle seat? How far does your nozzle protrude from the injector holder? Thanks, Gian.

ciao the engine is one of the last B with the cel 3B head, year December 80 If your head is a naturally aspirated 3B it might be fine. What car is it mounted on?

Hi, does anyone have a disassembled cylinder head that I urgently need to know the injector nozzle seat depth for? Cylinder head part number is 1110156034. Thanks.
