    I am rebuilding a 1934 wooden sailboat -- John Alden design -- 43 ft length, 14 ft beam. Deck is long leaf pine, hull is cypress. Engine is an Isuzu C240 diesel.

    I bought a used marinized Isuzu C240 on eBay; however, the engine arrived in more parts than I expected. Head was re-done before I got it. Pump is complete. Valves and springs need to be installed. Starter & alternator are not yet attached.

    Does anyone know where I can get a shop manual for an Isuzu C240 engine so I can put the engine together from where it is in the assembly process?

    I have never worked on diesel engines, so I need a manual with training wheels attached; that is, one that goes step-by-step in the proper assembly sequence. I have been looking for a diesel mechanic in my area willing to assemble a marine engine (Southwest Louisiana); however, no luck yet. So, I will do it myself -- if I can find a manual.

    Isuzu C-240 manual

    Riba --

    I have not gotten a manual yet. If you have two, do you want to sell one?

    Joe,

    Yes, I found both manuals and one is like new. I bought it several years ago and forgot where I put it. That's why I bought another one. I do not remember what was the price, but I think it was around 30$. If you want to take it, let me know

    Regards
    Drago

    C-240 manual

    Drago --

    Thirty dollars is fine; determine the postage to Zip 70508 (Lafayette, LA) so I can send you a money order for both --- be sure to give me a mailing address. Or if you use PayPal on eBay, I can pay you that way. Thanks, Joe Winkler (jawink@cox.net)
