Diesel injection pump
thanks for info brother don't know about diesel injection pump , i will post its engine pics later because jeep is not with me right now i am out of towni hope you can figure out diesel pump issue thanks
brother its engine is weak according to my machenic and he is suggesting for overhaul i want your experts advice that i ve go for overhaul or change this engine with petrol or any other diesel engine
Did your mechanic performed Compression test or just remove breather pipe and said "engine blow hai overhaul hoga"?
Swap with 1kz diesel or 5vz engine. It is highly unlikely mechanics suggest overhaul so better get second opinion as engine could be in good health.. Or just need new head and mechanic ripping you off.

no he don't perform any compression test. he say this engine is in weak condition you just drive it and when it will stop starting we overhaul it.in fact engine is weak even i can say after driving. sooner or later it needs overhaul. but the thing i want to ask that i go for overhaul this 2L engine or go for something better than this
My mostly drive is in highway n in village , sometimes in northern area but not much. i want to make it for my long traveling. please suggest something which give good economy, best Air conditioning and tention free driving
thanks for your advise brother i ll check my engine properly again from any other mechanic. brother is it possible to check life of an engine before spending your time and money on it?secondly if i change the engine into petrol version, than Gear and wiring used same or any other?
Swap with 1kz-te and change the differential for better performance my advise that take your jeep to pindiFarooq Awan Work Shop
MA nice ride, looks clean, don't ditch the engine just yet, check compression, service the unit and it may serve you long, otherwise, there are a number of engines you can fit into this thing, all depending upon your preference
Bro! 1KZ is the really a good and durable engine. You should go for it as your 2L engine (if in perfect condition) can't bear the heat of lower punjab. I have my own experience of 2L engine in Toyota Surf. After a lot of hassle I swapped to 1KZ and enjoyed the drive for 3 years till sold that vehicle.
must check valve clearance / shims adjustment and compression test before swap your engine.
change all suspension of jeep now its drive is much better:)planning to visit Baluchistan for interior parts and engine . after checking many mechanics and their advises engine needs a lot of work so planning to swap it with 1kz. thanks for your reply's brother I will keep you update soon
Best Wishes
Best of luck man.
