Product Description
Engine Piston 8-97367397-1 8973673971 For ISUZU 4JJ1 4JJ1-TC NPR NQR D-MAX ELF
Verified OEM Direct Fit, 95.4mm STD Alfin Oil-Gallery Diesel Piston
Product Overview
The Engine Piston with OEM numbers 8-97367397-1 / 8973673971 is a verified direct-fit replacement for ISUZU 4JJ1 / 4JJ1-TC (3.0L) diesel engines. This piston is a critical reciprocating component responsible for converting combustion pressure into crankshaft rotation and managing thermal load within the cylinder. The 4JJ1 is a 2,999 cc water-cooled inline-4 DOHC 16-valve common-rail diesel engine widely used in ISUZU D-MAX pickups, NPR/NQR commercial trucks, and ELF light-duty trucks from 2004 onward.
  • Dimensional Verification: Piston diameter 95.4 mm, compression height 49.8 mm, total length 78.4-78.5 mm, pin size 34 × 78 mm, combustion chamber Ø 55 mm, bowl depth -16 mm
  • Ring Groove Geometry: Ring grooves sized 2.0K mm (top) / 1.5 mm (second) / 3.0 mm (oil control)
  • Material & Construction: Manufactured from ZL109 aluminum alloy with Alfin insert for ring-land reinforcement, internal oil cooling gallery, and graphite-coated skirt
  • OEM Cross-Reference Verified: Replaces multiple OEM part numbers and international brand references
  • Multi-Platform Application: Confirmed compatible with ISUZU D-MAX, NPR, NQR, NHR, NKR, and ELF series trucks and pickups
Failure Symptoms & Replacement Indicators
  • Loss of engine compression: Worn or stuck piston rings reduce cranking pressure, causing hard starting and noticeable power loss
  • Excessive exhaust smoke (blue/white/black): Indicates oil passing rings or incomplete combustion
  • Increased oil consumption: Glazed bores or tired ring packs allow oil to enter combustion chamber
  • Piston scoring or scuffing: Visible skirt wear or liner wall scoring caused by thermal expansion or insufficient lubrication
  • Knocking or tapping noise: Piston slap or bearing wear requiring immediate inspection

Manufacturing conforms to ISO/TS16949 and ISO9001:2000 quality standards. Each unit undergoes 100% quality inspection before packaging.
Installation & Maintenance
Professional engine rebuild experience required. Always refer to the ISUZU 4JJ1 workshop manual for complete specifications. Improper installation can result in engine damage and serious injury.
Installation Guidelines:
  • Verify fitment: Confirm piston diameter (95.4 mm), compression height (49.8 mm), and ring groove dimensions
  • Check piston-to-bore clearance against manual specification
  • Install rings with correct orientation and stagger ring end gaps at 120° intervals
  • Lubricate pin bore and install piston pin with new snap rings
  • Follow connecting rod torque sequence per manual specifications
Maintenance Schedule:
  • Engine oil capacity: 6.5-7.0L including filter - replace every 10,000 km or 12 months
  • Inspect compression and oil consumption every 50,000 km or annually
  • Replace piston rings and inspect pistons during top-end overhaul
  • Monitor coolant condition and EGR system regularly
