INSPECTION
1. CRANKSHAFT OIL CLEARANCE (PLASTIC GAUGE
METHOD)
The oil clearance can be measured easily by using the
“plastic gauge”.
Use the following steps to use the “plastic gauge”.
(1) Wipe off all oil from the crankshaft’s outer diameter
and bearing’s inner diameter.
(2) Assemble the crankshaft.
(3) Set a plastic gauge as long as the bearing width
on the journal shaft so that straightly aligned with
the shaft centre.
(4) Carefully install the beam bearing cap, and tighten
the bolt at the specified torque 25±2N•m+90_
to 100_.
(5) Remove the bolt, and carefully remove the beam
bearing cap.
(6) Measure the width of the crushed plastic gauge (at
the section crushed the most) with the scale printed
on the plastic gauge bag.
Standard value: 0.03 - 0.04 mm
Limit value: 0.1 mm
2. CYLINDER BLOCK
(1) Visually check for the presence of scratches, rusting,
or corrosion, and using flaw detection agent, etc.,
check for cracks. If any faults are found, repair or
replace the part.
(2) Using a straight edge and thickness gauge, measure
the flatness of the cylinder block’s upper surface.
Make sure that no gasket pieces, etc., are adhered
to the upper surface of the cylinder block when
measuring.
Standard value: 0.05 mm
Limit value: 0.1 mm
(3) Check for the presence of scratches or seizure on
the cylinder wall. If any faults are found, repair (over
size) or replace the part.
(4) Using a cylinder gauge, measure the inner diameter
and cylindricity of the cylinder. If greatly worn, repair
the cylinder to the over size, and replace the piston
ring.
Standard value: 85.0 mm
Cylindricity: 0.01 mm

3. Remove the cylinder block drain plug from the cylinder
block to drain the engine coolant.
4. Remove the reserve tank to drain the engine coolant.
5. When the engine coolant has drained, pour in water from
the radiator cap to clean the engine coolant line.
6. Coat the thread of the cylinder block drain plug with the
specified sealant and tighten to the specified torque.
Specified sealant:
3M Nut Locking Part No. 4171 or equivalent
7. Securely tighten the radiator drain plug.
8. Install the under cover.
(Refer to GROUP 51 - Front Bumper.)
9. Install the reserve tank.
10. Slowly pour the engine coolant into the mouth of the
radiator until the radiator is full, and pour also into the
reserve tank up to the FULL line.
Recommended anti-freeze:
MITUBISHI GENUINE COOLANT or equivalent
Quantity: 6.0 L
Caution
Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze or any
engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol
anti-freeze. The use of an improper anti-freeze can
cause the corrosion of the aluminium components.
11. Install the radiator cap securely.
12. Start the engine and warm the engine until the thermostat
opens. (Touch the radiator hose with your hand to check
that warm water is flowing.)
13. After the thermostat opens, race the engine several times,
and then stop the engine.
14. Cool down the engine, and then pour engine coolant into
the reserve tank until the level reaches the FULL line. If
the level is low, repeat the operation from step 11.
CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENT
Measure the temperature and specific gravity of the engine
coolant to check the antifreeze concentration.
Standard value: 30 - 60 % (allowable concentration range)
RECOMMENDED ANTI-FREEZE
AntifreezeAllowable concentration
MITSUBISHI GENUINE COOLANT
or equivalent30 - 60 %
Caution
If the concentration of the anti-freeze is below 30 %, the
anti-corrosion property will be adversely affected. In
addition, if the concentration is above 60 %, both the
anti-freezing and engine cooling properties will decrease,
affecting the engine adversely. For these reasons, be
sure to maintain the concentration level within the
specified range.
