2. REMOVAL OF PRESSURE SWITCH(1) Disconnect the oil pressure switch terminal.
(2) Using the special tool, remove the oil pressure switch.
Caution
Sealant is coated on the threaded part, so be careful
not to damage when removing.
MD9982823EN041
8. REMOVAL OF OIL PAN
(1) Remove the all oil pan bolts.
(2) Drive in the special tool between the cylinder block and
oil pan.
NOTE
Never use a screwdriver or chisel, instead of the special
tool, as a deformed oil pan flange will result, resulting inoil leakage.
14. REMOVAL OF FLANGE BOLTWhen loosening the oil pump driven gear flange bolt, first
insert a Phillips screwdriver [shank diameter 8 mm (32 in.)]into the plug hole on the left side of cylinder block to block
the silent shaft.
17. REMOVAL OF FRONT CASE
The front case may be sticking to the cylinder block. In sucha case, insert a screwdriver into the slot shown in the
illustration and pry up. Never attempt to pry at any other
positions where flange is thinner. Also avoid applying
impact to the front case for removal.
26. REMOVAL OF SILENT SHAFT FRONT BEARINGSUsing the special tool, remove the front bearing from
cylinder block.

INSPECTION
SILENT SHAFTNOSRUEl(1) Check oil holes for clogging.
(2) Check journal for seizure, damage, and contact with
bearing. If there is anything wrong with the journal, replace
silent shaft, bearing or front case assembly.
(3) Check the silent shaft oil clearance. If the clearance is
excessively due to wear, replace the silent shaft bearing
silent shaft or front case assembly.

(1) Check oil holes for clogging and clean if necessary.
(2) Check left silent shaft front bearing section for wear,
damage and seizure. If there is anything wrong with the
section, replace the front case.
(3) Check the front case for cracks and other damage. Replacecracked or damaged front case.
OIL SEALNOORCMAO
(1) Check the oil seal lip for wear and damage. Replace oil sealif
necessan/.(2) Check the oil seal lip for deterioration. Replace oil seal if
necessary.
OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
(1) Connect a tester (ohm range) between the terminal and thebody and check for conductivity. If there is no conductivity,
replace the switch.

1(2) Next insert a very fine wedge through the oil hole, pushing
it slightly. There should be no conductivity (resistance
should be infinite). If there is conductivity even when
wedge is pushed, replace the switch.
(3) Or, if there is no conductivity when a 50
kPa (71 psi)
pressure is placed through the oil hole, the switch is
operating properly. Check at this time to see that there is
no air pressure leakage. If there is air pressure leakage, thediaphragm is broken, and the switch should be replaced.
OIL PUMPNomcGH
(1)Install the oil pump gears in the front case and check the tipclearance of each gear using a thickness gauge.
Standard value:
Drive gear
0.06-0.12 mm (.0024-.0047 in.)
Driven gear0.04-0.12 mm (.0039-.0079 in.)
Limit:
Drive gear0.20 mm (.079 in.)
Driven gear0.18 mm (.071 in.)
NOTECheck the tip clearance of each gear at position indicated
by an arrow.
(2) Check the side clearance of each gear.
Standard value:
Drive gear
0.10-0.16 mm (.0039-.0063 in.)
Driven gear0.02-0.05 mm (.0008-.0020 in.)
Limit:Drive gear0.20 mm (308 in.)
Driven gear0.15 mm (AI66 in.)(3) Check for ridge wear on the surface of the oil pump cover
that are in contact with the pump gear side.

12. INSTALLATION OF OIL PUMP OIL SEALInstall the oil seal into the oil pump cover, making sure that
its lip is in correct direction.
8. APPLICATION OF SEALANT TO OIL PAN(1) Clean both mating surfaces of oil pan and cylinder block.
(2) Apply sealant into groove of oil pan flange, ~keeping clear of
holes as shown. The width of sealant bead as sqeezed outof tube should be about 4 mm
(.I6 in.).
Caution
After application of sealant, do not exceed l’5 minutes
before installing the oil pan.
Specified sealant: MITSUBISHI GENUINE PART N
O.
MD997110 or equivalent
2. INSTALLATION OF OIL PRESSURE
SWlTCHCoat the threads of switch with sealant and install the
switch using the special tool.
Specified sealant: MOPAR Part No.4318034 or equiva-
lent
Caution
1. Keep the end of threaded portion clear of sealant.2. Avoid an
overtightening.
1. APPLICATION OF ENGINE OIL TO OIL FILTERApply a thin coat of engine oil to the packing surface.
,.Caution
Do not apply oil too much.

ENGINE <2.0L DOHC Engine>
SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES pi
CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURENOSFFAH(1) Before checking compression, ensure that engine oil, the
starter motor, and battery are all in good condition.
(2) Start the engine and wait until engine coolant temperature
has risen to
85-95°C (185-205°F).
(3) Stop the engine and pull the spark plug cables.
(4) Remove the spark plugs.
(5) Crank the engine
to. remove any foreign objects in the
cylinders.
Caution
Cover the spark plug holes with shop towel, etc., in
order to keep expelled foreign objects from flying out,and keep away from the holes. When measuring
compression with water, oil, or fuel having entered the
cylinder through a crack, etc., these will come flying
out of the spark plug hole hot and fast, so be sure to
take the proper precautions.(6) Set the compression gauge to the spark plug hole.
(7) Holding the throttle valve full open, crank the engine and
measure compression.
Limit:
: Min. 960 kPa (137 psi)
[250-400 rpm]6: Min. 800
kPa (114 psi) [250-400 rpml-(8) Perform 6 and 7 above for all the cylinders, ensuring that
compression pressure differential for each of the cylinders
is within the specified limit.
Differential limit: Max. 100 kPa (14 psi)(9) If a cylinder’s compression or pressure differential exceeds
the limit, add a small amount of oil through the spark plug
hole and repeat steps (6)-(8).
@If the addition of oil brings compression up, it is possiblethat there is poor contact between the piston ring and
cylinder wall.
@ If not compression does not come up, valve seizure,
poor valve seating, or a compression leak from the
gasket are all possible.‘I
