OEM #Cre 9-54850 covers the 2000 Isuzu 6WG1T, a 15.661 L displacement engine with a 16.4 compression ratio. Across 251 bookmarked pages, you get 100 pages of step-by-step repair procedures spanning the cylinder head, crankshaft, pistons, and turbocharger. Thirty pages of exploded views and 9 pages of diagnostic charts help you track down governor issues or charging faults fast. Dial in intake valve clearances to 0.40 mm, confirm injection nozzle opening pressure at 20.1 MPa, and verify the 52 L oil system is topped off correctly. Cylinder head M18 bolts torque to 177 N-m on the first step; flywheel M14 bolts to 123 N-m. Your machine is down, so grab the correct numbers instead of trusting forum guesses.

Isuzu 6WG1T Common Problems This Manual Covers
Temperature gauge spikes rapidly under load and radiator boils over p. 111
Drain the full 36 L cooling system before pulling the water pump and thermostat for inspection. Look for a blocked cooler or defective radiator tank cover. Review page 111 for the cooling flow diagram to confirm correct routing.
Manual Section: Engine Cooling (6B)Blue smoke from exhaust stack during acceleration and visible oil leaking from compressor housing p. 195
Remove the intake piping and examine the turbocharger compressor wheel for impact damage. Measure shaft play for excessive radial or axial movement. Confirm engine oil volume is correct at 52 L with filters (page 10). Clean a blocked air intake or defective P.C.V system if oil blow-by is heavy.
Manual Section: Engine Induction (6J)Engine won't start or turns over slowly in cold weather with clicking starter relay p. 151
Test battery voltage first, then verify the alternator rated voltage is 24 V. Measure alternator rotor coil resistance on page 17; it must read exactly 11.7 ohm. Inspect the starter motor pinion gear and confirm it meets the 7.0 kW rated output.
Manual Section: Starting and Charging (6D)Rough idle and excessive white exhaust smoke accompanied by severe lack of power p. 27
Perform a compression test per page 48, confirming all cylinders hit 2.75 MPa. Adjust intake valve clearances to 0.40 mm if readings are low. Verify fuel injection nozzle opening pressure reaches 20.1 MPa for proper atomization.
Manual Section: Engine Troubleshooting (General)Frequently Asked Questions
What fluids and capacities does this machine require?
SAE No.2 diesel fuel is specified. Lubrication calls for Diesel engine oil CD grade, with SAE viscosity selected by ambient temperature per the Engine Oil Viscosity Chart on page 0B-9. Oil capacity is 52 L (55 qts) with combined main and partial oil filter. Cooling system capacity is 36 L (38 qts).
How to troubleshoot engine won't start?
When the engine turns over but won't fire, possible causes include air in the fuel system, a defective engine stop mechanism, or an empty fuel tank. Fixes range from bleeding the fuel system to adjusting the control wire or refilling the tank. Clogged fuel lines or filter elements may also be at fault, requiring repair or replacement. Injection pump issues, such as improper control rack operation or a worn plunger, should also be investigated.
What torque specifications are listed?
Torque values are provided for standard and flanged head bolts across multiple sizes. An M6 x 1.0 bolt, for example, calls for 5 – 9 N·m (0.5 – 0.9 kgf·m / 4 – 7 lb·ft). Cylinder head M18 bolts require 177 N·m (18 kgf·m / 130 lb·ft) as a first step, followed by angular tightening. Additional torque values for auxiliary and external engine parts appear in dedicated diagrams throughout the manual.
What are the common electrical problems?
A dead battery may stem from a loose alternator drive belt or defective battery terminals; adjust or replace as needed. Overcharging can point to poor connections or a defective voltage regulator. Starter motor troubles include failure to operate (loose cable terminals, defective magnetic switch) and slow cranking (worn brushes, shorted armature).
