Isuzu D-Max 1.9 Cylinder Head Gasket






















Today got a chance to touched the physical stock of this Isuzu D-Max 1.9 Cylinder Head Gasket, with the engine code RZ4E-TC, it also known as Blue Power engine, which there have 2 fun facts according to the Drive Save and Fast website.

  1. The name of this new engine, RZ4E, represents a change in Isuzu’s engine naming convention. Previous Isuzu engines would often use a digit to indicate number of cylinders, followed by an alphabet or two to indicate engine family. The 4 seems to be relocated behind the engine family designation..
  2. ‘Blue’ is commonly used in marketing spiel to describe modern, efficient diesel engines. Beyond Isuzu, at least two other brands use ‘Blue’ in the names of their diesel tech. The Mr. Tateyama confirms the colour has nothing to do with anything. I suppose Green was too busy being associated with electric and petrol powertrains.

Other than the fun facts as shown above, other interesting fact can be found at the DSF website link here.
