Ha. A problem of my own creation(due to my own misunderstanding). But any day you learn something (even if it's that you've been wrong) should be a good one!

I am more than happy to admit when I am wrong. And in this case, it appears as if I am. You are correct. There's no way those gears can pump oil. It also appears that the main oil galley outlet is not connected to that little hole I said fed the jets. That hole directly lubricates the balance...

If you blow air in that hole in the block I'm pointing to, the only places it comes out are the squirters. The end of the balance shaft is d-shaped. It fits into the d-shaped hole in the pump. The thing with the d-shaped hole is a gear-type pump, and works with the gear that goes on the...

If it weren't for this aux pump run by that shaft, you could just not run a balance shaft belt. You can see 3 bolts that hold the body of that smaller pump there on the backside too. I'm not making this stuff up, I swear!

Only my own experience, man. Here's an oil pump. You see the upper hole I'm pointing to? Balance shaft goes through there. The pulley for the shaft runs that shaft you see below my finger, it's all geared together. Next pic is backside of the oil pump. My finger is pointing tothe output of...

"Not required to run"... This is true. But the 'lower' one also runs an auxiliary oil pump. Which squirts oil at the underside of the pistons. So it is not required but it for sure helps things stay cool. Just putting my .02 here because I struggled with that in a 4d55 in a mighty max(then...

Sounds like you're on the right track. There is a high pressure and a drain line for the vacuum pump on the back of the alternator. You will most likely see it spray from pressure line, and dribble\run out of the drain line. Not to say it won't be a significant dribble.

Quick update. AliEx 4d56 has 10k on it and is going strong. Hope everyone is swell.

That would be cool. I've had both my shots, and am fully vaccinated. Lemme know when you're game.

I dont run a delica shop. But i know my way around a 4d56 if anyone around Portland is DIY and gets stuck.

I have a d4bf I swapped in to my Mazda. It whistles too.

Ah I see I was too late!

I'm in Estacada. I'd be into your block! Pm me!

Hey all. New guy here. Here's my little 4d56 adventure story. I put a high-miled 4d55 into a Mazda b2600i 4x4(because I had the Mazda and it was cheap and I always wanted to do a diesel swap. See it here: https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/to...&share_fid=72600&share_type=t&link_source=app )...

So... Do you import for a business or just for fun? I live in portland and have talked to a couple importers, but they "specialize". I want a Mazda Marvie... The pickup-based 4 door suv...
