LASH ADJUSTERS
Before installation, submerge lash adjuster in diesel fuel.
Using a small wire, hold down internal check valve. Pump plunger up
and down 4 or 5 times to bleed air from lash adjuster.
CYLINDER BLOCK ASSEMBLY OVERHAUL
CYLINDER BLOCK
1) Inspect cylinder block for cracks, warpage, cylinder bore
taper and out-of-round. Replace or repair cylinder block if it is not
within specification. See CYLINDER BLOCK table under ENGINE
SPECIFICATIONS at end of article.
2) Measure cylinder bore and piston skirt diameter. Piston
skirt diameter should be measured at 90-degree angle to piston pin.
Clearance between piston and cylinder bore must be within
specification. See appropriate PISTONS, PINS & RINGS table under
ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS at end of article.
PISTON & ROD ASSEMBLY
1) Remove cylinder heads, and remove oil pan. See CYLINDER
HEADS and OIL PAN under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Ensure cylinder ridge

specification. See appropriate PISTONS, PINS & RINGS table under
ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS at end of article. Install rings on piston with
ring code identification marks toward top of piston. On DOHC, top ring
is marked "T" and No. 2 ring is marked "T2". On SOHC, top ring is
marked "T1" and No. 2 ring is marked "2R". Lubricate piston, rings and
cylinder bore with engine oil.
4) Properly space ring end gaps on piston. See Fig. 23.
Install piston and rod into cylinder bore. Ensure piston is installed
with front mark toward timing belt side of engine.
NOTE: Front mark "R" on piston indicates installation in
cylinders No. 1, 3 or 5 while front mark "L" indicates
installation in cylinders No. 2, 4 or 6. Ensure front mark
on piston and connecting rod are toward timing belt side of

Mitsubishi: Eclipse, Galant, Mirage, Montero,
Pickup, 3000GT
ENGINE MECHANICAL
Before performing any on-vehicle adjustments to fuel or
ignition system, ensure engine mechanical condition is okay.
VALVE CLEARANCE
NOTE: All engines except 1.5L use hydraulic valve lifters. Valve
adjustment is only required on 1.5L engines. To check
hydraulic valve lifter operation, see CHECKING HYDRAULIC
VALVE LIFTERS.
MECHANICAL VALVE LIFTERS
CAUTION: DO NOT rotate crankshaft in opposite direction of normal
engine rotation.
1.5L
1) Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. Remove
all spark plugs and valve cover. Rotate crankshaft to position
cylinder No. 1 on TDC of compression stroke. Adjust intake valves on
cylinders No. 1 and No. 2, and exhaust valves on cylinders No. 1 and
No. 3. See VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT table for specification.
2) Rotate crankshaft 360 degrees to position cylinder No. 4
on TDC of compression stroke. Adjust intake valves on cylinders No. 3
and No. 4, and exhaust valves on cylinders No. 2 and No. 4.

CHECKING HYDRAULIC VALVE LIFTERS
Except 1.5L
1) Remove valve cover. Push downward on end of rocker arm
above lash adjuster. If lash adjuster is normal, it will feel hard. If
lash adjuster moves downward easily when pushed, replace adjuster.
2) If lash adjuster feels soft or spongy, oil with air has
probably entered lash adjuster. If this occurs, check engine oil
level. If engine oil level is okay, check oil screen and oil screen
gasket for damage.
3) After repairing cause of air leak, warm engine to
operating temperature. Drive vehicle at low speed for approximately 5
minutes. Turn engine off for a few minutes.
4) Restart engine and drive at low speed for approximately 5

Engine Control Unit (ECU) wiring harness connector. Note TPS output
voltage.
4) If output voltage is .48-.52 volt, go to step 6). If
output voltage is not .48-.52 volt, loosen TPS mounting screw(s) and
rotate TPS clockwise, or counterclockwise, until output voltage is
within specification. Tighten TPS mounting screws.
5) Turn ignition off. Reconnect harness connector(s) at ISC
motor. Start engine. Ensure engine idles within curb idle speed
specification.
