Yes, the Mitsubishi 4g63 engine is an interference engine. You should never remove the timing belt with any piston at the top dead center (TDC) because if a piston is at TDC, the exhaust valves of the cylinder are pushed by the exhaust cams, compressing the valve springs. Removing the belt under this condition could cause the sprocket to turn in the reverse direction due to spring force, which may result in injury.
The spark plugs should be tightened to a torque of 25 ± 5 N·m.
The Mitsubishi 4g63 engine uses Hydraulic lash adjusters, which typically do not require manual adjustment for valve clearance.
The head bolt torque specifications for the Mitsubishi 4g63 engine are as follows:
The Mitsubishi 4g63 engine uses an Electronically controlled two-coil system for ignition, not a distributor. Therefore, there is no distributor timing adjustment procedure.
To replace the valve cover gasket (rocker cover gasket "A"), follow these steps:
To replace the spark plug wires, follow these steps:
Installation is the reverse of removal.
The Mitsubishi 4g63 engine uses an Electronically controlled multi-point injection (MPI) system. It is a gasoline engine, not a diesel engine, and therefore does not have an injection pump for timing adjustment.
The Mitsubishi 4g63 engine uses an Electronically controlled multi-point injection (MPI) system, not a carburetor.
