Isuzu 4JE1 engine block heater

[case685]

Hey All,

I am looking at installing a block heater in my Iseki TA357. It has a 4JE1 Isuzu engine in it. The "E" designation seems to be unique to my Iseki although I believe, at least as far as the block is concerned, that the configuration is the same as other 4J models such as the 4JD1 used in the Iseki built 1100 series Massey's as well a host of other industrial applications.

The reason I am mentioning this is because I am seeing 2 different styles of block heater being sold for the 4JD1 engine, one with a straight element and another with a bent or "L" shaped element. With this in mind I'm wondering if anyone has installed a block heater in one of these 4J series engines or knows for certain which style I should use.

Thanks,
Gerald.

Hi Nuno,

Thanks for the reply. I clicked on the link you provided but didn't see any pictures of a block heater ....

Anyway I decided to order one from a local supplier, taking a chance that the block is the same for all the 4J series engines.

Did you install one on your ta357, I can't imagine you needing one over there in sunny Spain!

I wasn't impressed with Canadian Prices and after some careful figuring, got one off E-Bay for my Isuzu Generator.

I can not figure out what you mean by "block heater"

Hey Industrial,

Thanks for replying, do you know the model # of your Isuzu engine and brand of block heater you bought?

Hey Nuno, what I am looing for is a engine block heater. They are an electric heating element that are installed on the side of the engine block by removing one of the frost plugs. They keep the coolant warm and therefore make starting easier when it gets really cold.

Oh, now I understand, fortunately I do not need it, on the coldest days of winter temperatures can reach 0 ° no less than that , but when arrive send a photo to get to know.
