1988 Isuzu I-Mark engine problems
#1
Ok, I really need help now. My timing belt broke a while back. We have replaced the timing belt on the I-Mark, set the timing (checked it 3x now) and replaced the sparkplugs and wires and checked that the firing order is correct, but the engine still sounds like the timing is off or it is running on only a few cylinders or something. Any suggestions what else to check????

The first question I have is what engine doyou have. I''ll assume that it is the 1.5 because I beleive that the 1.6 DOHC was an ''89 only option. I''m pretty sure that the 1.5 was a zero clearance engine meaning that if your timing belt goesthe valves will contact the pistons. That being the case you very likely have physical damage done to your engine, so you might want to pull the head and make sure everything is OK.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that gave advice about my I-Mark. Yes, I did have some bent valves, but no damage to pistons or block. I think what saved me was that the timing belt broke when I went around a corner at a low speed! My car is purring like a kitten now and I am so happy.
