Well, I change the water pump lined up all the timing gears get everything right, it will not start, I rechecked everything five times before I put that belt on took care of the tension-er the way it was supposed to be taken care of. I have been without a vehicle for two weeks I have not been able to get to oncology and now I got to spend another twenty hours ripping this motor apart again, thank you very much. I have no clue what happened lined up all timing marks like I was supposed to I even watched about 20 different videos talk to ten different people ask questions just to make sure I can rebuild a CAT engine in my sleep this is the first Isuzu that I put my hands on it is going to be the last. I hate this thing. Thank you again, sincerely
