Get it teekay and pressure checkedby a garage or radiator specialist, those 6VD1 engines can crack heads. You better hope that it isnt, its an engine out job to fix it. I did one 10 years ago and the horror of it still haunts me, there was nothing easy about it.Isuzu also saw fit to use four different timing belt and timing mark arrangements on those engines so you need to make sure whoever pulls it to bits has the right info on hand.

I did Bighorn V6 heads in place once. What a MF of a thing to work on!

Thats why I recommend pulling the motor completely. At least you get reasonable access to that alloy crossover pipe between the heads at the rear. A ghastly design of an engine.

Yeah pricks of things.
And recently, I've done a V6 Ford Escape (2 x timing chains, DOHC per bank). A veeeeery time consuming job compared to most other V6s.
