The year of an Isuzu 4LE2 engine can be determined by a letter code for the model year marked on the top of the letters on the engine. For example, "Y" represents 2000, "1" represents 2001, "2" represents 2002, and so on.
There is no specific method mentioned to determine the year of the DCA-25ESI generator.

Questions and answers
I just bought a used 25 KVA genset. How do I find the year of this engine and generator? DCA 25ESIB ; DF 270i. Engine AA 4LE2, dao1,ajo1
@Larry Jensen
The year of an Isuzu 4LE2 engine can be determined by a letter code for the model year marked on the top of the letters on the engine. For example, "Y" represents 2000, "1" represents 2001, "2" represents 2002, and so on.
There is no specific method mentioned to determine the year of the DCA-25ESI generator.
