Timing Gear & Chain

Compared to the
ordinary timing belt, the timing gear & chain is definitely longer lasting. It keeps the motion going without the possibility of snapping.

Alloy Pistons

These hard-wearing
pistons are made from a special heat durable material - Isuzu's High Performance Alloy. With the Thermal Flow Cooling channels, the pistons won't expand under extreme heat conditions and won't come in contact with the walls of the engine. A unique feature in the D-MAX.

Melt-in Liner

What makes this liner special is the High Frequency Induction Hardening (HFIH) - a special process that melts the cylinder block liners to the block. This 'double-padded' built-in protection keeps the cylinder walls in pristine condition for longer.

2-Storey Water Jacket

A double storey passage
for a better water flow to
cool the engine faster.
Less chance of overheating
on long distances.
