Title: Looking for parts for 3 Cylinder Isuzu generator with heat damage
Post by: Tony Pasquale on January 06, 2021, 08:26:27 pm
Having trouble with my Isuzu 3 Cylinder Powertech generator we were thinking possible bad head gasket but Paul Yasbeck removed head this morning and said the center cylinder piston and cylinder walls have heat damage. So if anyone has knowledge of  any one to contact for parts, possible block or a used engine, please let me know.
Thank you, Tony

Isuzu and also Yanmar engines are used in many small tractors and other industrial engines. I'd start searching there.

I'm less than an hour away from Power Tech plant  in Leesburg, FL. If there is anything I can pick up and ship to you, let me know.

Tony,

If you didn't know they have a engine rebuild kit with new liners, pistons, rings, and gaskets. The last time I checked they were about $500. That might be an option if you can't find an replacement engine or short block. I will look and see if I still have the contact info.

Tony,

The rains have stopped and the flood receded so I went up to the shop and haven't been able to find the info on where I got the rebuild kit from. (must have went with the coach)  As far as the kit listed above you need to check your engine as this kit is for a 3LB1 and will not work on the 3LD1 if that is what your coach has.

Tony,was this something that happened during your watch or previous owner,during your repair make sure the hi-temp shutdown is in good working order.
