Tick Tick Boom (navara D22)

[Theocus]

Mine hasnt gone yet but 2 of my friends d22's this week have gone bang with the old bottom end bearing/conrod failure. I am getting out of the navara club and getting into the Isuzu Rodeo members area! Problem is mine is kitted up with winches and all sorts so need to put right before i sell it on. Just had a new clutch and service too.

 

Any other members with a bitter taste of the d22's in their mouth!

#3 every time. I've heard a rumour that its the hottest cylinder due to crankcase position and some other factors. Only a rumour tho and not backed up by me personally.

I've got the D40 and done 120k in it. Only been through 1 clutch under warranty and one U/J. I wouldn't change it for anything.

 

With the d22's, go to Billcar Engineering ltd - Complete Engine Reconditioning. They are in Shrewsbury and specialise in d22 engines and offer replacement big end bolts and a modified oil pickup to make the engines bomb proof. Better to get it done before yours throws a rod!

The problem is with the con rod big end bolts, there is a thread on Nissan Navara.net that runs over 100 pages specifically dealing with the d22 engine failure issue.

 

the bolts are permanently damaged during the angle torquing phase of their installation, also the lack of quality of these bolts means that they pass through their elastic limits (meaning that when undone they should return to their exact original size, specification and condition) into their plastic limits (meaning that permanent changes to their dimensions has occurred (due to being overstretched), and to their molecular makeup (causing graining to take place, a form of work-hardening, leading to a critical catastrophic failure or snapping after further use).

 

Mine went at 96K miles, it'd been a great workhorse up until that day. Nissan UK put a new engine in free of charge despite it being 6 months outside the extended 5 year warranty. Since the new engine I've done 10,000 problem free miles.
