Isuzu 4JA1 Series Engine
Isuzu 4JA1 Series Engine
The J-series direct injection diesel engine was introduced in 1985, in 2.5 or 2.8 liter displacements. Initially installed only in lighter duty versions of the Isuzu Elf, it soon found its way into other Isuzu products. It replaced the somewhat smaller C engine; later on 3.1- and 3.0-liter versions were also introduced - still with four cylinders in line.
