What engine might work with minimum issues
A regular 4LE1 or 4LE2 might work. But the question is why, 90% of the value of a generator is the engine so if the engine is no good we usually scrap the whole thing
The unit only has 2200 hours on it.relacement is around 40thousand CA. Worth checking what might work.
Replacement brand new unit with a 4LE2X is $40k but a used unit with a standard 4LE1/2 is not worth near that much. Which is what you will have when you are done with this swap. Just go buy a used old one if that is what you want, they are everywhere. What is wrong with the Isuzu engine anyway?
Have not been able to find a good used one.thought a swap might be an option.an in shop rebuild is also an option that will be considered.
Generators use a standard SAE flywheel and bell housing. There are comparable Kubota, Perkins, etc. engines out there. Will an engine you find be adaptable to the gen head?
That will be a big questioning we go that route.tks for your input
