Are the block and heads the same in an 98 Isuzu Rodeo 3.2 and a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo 3.2?

SOURCE: Changing the Head Gaskets

hi Dirk, its easier to remove the harness, i gues your problem could lie with disconnecting the injector connections, to disconnect them there's a locking stainless-steel ring which needs to be moved halfway on one side and then the connector pulled out. and also check for a large connector that can split the harness.

joyce, there are different specs for sohc and dohc engines. my advice is to get a Haynes manual from the auto parts store.

SOURCE: car using a lot of oil and going out of tailpipe

Back to what I said before, only perhaps it didn't get really hot. Only two major causes of oil burning. 1. rings and cylinder walls are worn or 2. bearings are a bit out of clearance and throwing more oil on the cylinder walls than the oil rings can deal with. Other reason should have been taken care of when head was done: valve guides & seals. You can still read good compression with certain conditions. a more accurate test is a cylinder leakdown test. On another idea, if one cylinder was being washed down by coolant, it may have unseated the rings. sometimes they recover from this, sometimes not (likely in the cylinder with warped valves. Check that plug for oil fouling...could be where miss is.

SOURCE: possible oil leak from head gasket or crack in

if oil is leaking from the the top to bottom, check the gasket below the cover that has the daewoo name and sign on on top of the engine block. it could be cracked. replace with new one without any gasket sealant just replace the original and done
