hey everyone, it has been a looooooong time since ive posted on here. well good news, my trooper is getting redone. Got a new cylinder head about 3 years ago from jerry, and the fast idle switch. just got the head back from the machine shop, had everything swapped over. had to regrind the valves, shim it, and decked it .005". checked the main and rod bearings, mint condition. im hoping this engine has the stronger rods, considering it looks like a rod went through the block, and someone (probably isuzu) patched it, and the oil pan. fuel pump was siezed, so that and the injectors are going in for a rebuild. once those get back the engine should go together and be done. then i gotta get the trooper itself in and start work on that. new wiring harness, carpet, brakes etc. ill post pics when everything gets started.

i also acquired an isuzu 4bd2t complete with starter, alternator, a/c compressor, trans, and intercooler. I'd like to sell it since i dont have a use for it. although i think im going to save the intercooler for the trooper.
