Fig. 6: Measuring Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance - Typical
This Graphic For General Information Only
Lower valve approximately 1/16" below valve seat. Push valve
stem against valve guide as far as possible. Adjust dial indicator to
zero. Push valve stem in opposite direction and note reading.
Clearance must be within specification.
If valve guide clearance exceeds specification, valves with
oversize stems may be used or valve guide must be replaced. On some
applications, a false guide is installed, then reamed to proper
specification. Valve guide reamer set is used to ream valve guide to
obtain proper clearance for new valve.
Reaming Valve Guide
Select proper reamer for valve stem. Reamer must be of
proper length to provide clean cut through entire length of valve
guide. Install reamer in valve guide and rotate to cut valve guide.
See Fig. 7 .

using ridge reamer. DO NOT remove an excessive amount of material.
Ensure ridge is completely removed.
PISTON & CONNECTING ROD REMOVAL
Note top of piston. Some pistons may contain a notch, arrow
or be marked "FRONT". Piston must be installed in proper direction to
prevent damage with valve operation.
Check that connecting rod and cap are numbered for cylinder
location and which side of cylinder block the number faces. Proper cap
and connecting rod must be installed together. Connecting rod cap must
be installed on connecting rod in proper direction to ensure bearing
lock procedure. Mark connecting rod and cap if necessary. Pistons must
be installed in original location.
Remove cap retaining nuts or bolts. Remove bearing cap.
Install stud protectors on connecting rod bolts. This protects
cylinder walls from scoring during removal. Ensure proper removal of
ridge. Push piston and connecting rod from cylinder. Connecting rod
boss can be tapped with a wooden dowel or hammer handle to aid in
removal.
PISTON & CONNECTING ROD
Disassembly
Using ring expander, remove piston rings. Remove piston pin
retaining rings (if equipped). On pressed type piston pins, special
fixtures and procedures according to manufacturer must be used to
remove piston pins. Follow manufacturer's recommendations to avoid
piston distortion or breakage.
Cleaning
Remove all carbon and varnish from piston. Pistons and
connecting rods may be cleaned in cold type chemical tank. Using ring
groove cleaner, clean all deposits from ring grooves. Ensure all
deposits are cleaned from ring grooves to prevent ring breakage or
sticking. DO NOT attempt to clean pistons using wire brush.
Inspection
Inspect pistons for nicks, scoring, cracks or damage in ring
areas. Connecting rod should be checked for cracks using Magnaflux
procedure. Piston diameter must be measured in manufacturers specified
area.
Using telescopic gauge and micrometer, measure piston pin
bore of piston in 2 areas, 90 degrees apart. This is done to check
diameter and out-of-round.
Install proper bearing cap on connecting rod. Ensure bearing
cap is installed in proper location. Tighten bolts or nuts to
specification. Using inside micrometer, measure inside diameter in 2
areas, 90 degrees apart.
Connecting rod I.D. and out-of-round must be within
specification. Measure piston pin bore I.D. and piston pin O.D. All
components must be within specification. Subtract piston pin diameter
from piston pin bore in piston and connecting rod to determine proper
fit.
Connecting rod length must be measured from center of
crankshaft journal inside diameter to center of piston pin bushing
using proper caliper. Connecting rods must be the same length.
Connecting rods should be checked on an alignment fixture for bent or
twisted condition. Replace all components which are damaged or not
within specification.

Fig. 18: Measuring Connecting Rod Side Clearance - Typical
This Graphic For General Information Only
Check for improper bearing installation, wrong bearing cap
or insufficient bearing clearance if side clearance is insufficient.
Connecting rod may require machining to obtain proper clearance.
Excessive clearance usually indicates excessive wear at crankshaft.
Crankshaft must be repaired or replaced.
MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARING CLEARANCE
Plastigage Method
Plastigage method may be used to determine bearing clearance.
Plastigage can be used with an engine in service or during reassembly.
Plastigage material is oil soluble.
Ensure journals and bearings are free of oil or solvent.
Oil or solvent will dissolve material and false reading will be
obtained. Install small piece of Plastigage along full length of
bearing journal. Install bearing cap in original location. Tighten
bolts to specification.
CAUTION: DO NOT rotate crankshaft while Plastigage is installed.
Bearing clearance will not be obtained if crankshaft is
rotated.
Remove bearing cap. Compare Plastigage width with scale on
Plastigage container to determine bearing clearance. See Fig. 19.
Rotate crankshaft 90 degrees. Repeat procedure. this is done to check
journal eccentricity. This procedure can be used to check oil
clearance on both connecting rod and main bearings.

length of cylinder block at several points.
If warpage exceeds specifications, deck must be resurfaced.
If warpage exceeds manufacturer's maximum tolerance for material
removal, replace block.
DECK HEIGHT
Distance from the crankshaft centerline to the block
deck is termed the deck height. Measure and record front and rear main
journals of crankshaft. To compute this distance, install crankshaft
and retain with center main bearing and cap only. Measure distance
from the crankshaft journal to the block deck, parallel to the
cylinder centerline.
Add one half of the main bearing journal diameter to distance
from crankshaft journal to block deck. This dimension should be
checked at front and rear of cylinder block. Both readings should be
the same.
If difference exceeds specifications, cylinder block must be
repaired or replaced. Deck height and warpage should be corrected at
the same time.
MAIN BEARING BORE & ALIGNMENT
For checking main bearing bore, remove all bearings from
cylinder block and main bearing caps. Install main bearing caps in
original location. Tighten bolts to specification. Using inside
micrometer, measure main bearing bore in 2 areas 90 degrees apart.
Determine bore size and out-of-round. If diameter is not within
specification, block must be align-bored.
For checking alignment, place a straightedge along centerline
of main bearing saddles. Check for clearance between straightedge and
main bearing saddles. Block must be align-bored if clearance is
present.
EXPANSION PLUG REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
Removal
Drill a hole in the center of expansion plug. Remove with
screwdriver or punch. Use care not to damage sealing surface.
Installation
Ensure sealing surface is free of burrs. Coat expansion plug
with sealer. Use a wooden dowel or pipe of slightly smaller diameter,
install expansion plug. Ensure expansion plug is evenly located.
OIL GALLERY PLUG REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
Removal
Remove threaded oil gallery plugs using the appropriate
wrench. Soft, press-in plugs are removed by drilling into plug and
installing a sheet metal screw. Remove plug with slide hammer or
pliers.
Installation
Ensure threads or sealing surface is clean. Coat threaded oil
gallery plugs with sealer and install. Replacement soft press-in plugs
are driven in place with a hammer and drift.

HOW TO USE SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS

GENERAL INFORMATION
Using Wiring Diagrams
All Models
INTRODUCTION
This cd obtains wiring diagrams and technical service
bulletins, containing wiring diagram changes from the domestic and
import manufacturers. These are checked for accuracy and are all
redrawn into a consistent format for easy use.
In the past, when cars were simpler, diagrams were simpler.
All components were connected by wires and diagrams seldom exceeded 4
pages in length. Today, some wiring diagrams require more than 16
pages. It would be impractical to expect a service technician to trace
a wire from page 1 across every page to page 16.
Removing some of the wiring maze reduces eyestrain and time
wasted searching across several pages. Today the majority of
these
diagrams follow a much improved format, which permits space for
internal switch details.
Wiring diagrams are drawn in a "top-down" format. The
diagrams are drawn with the power source at the top of the diagram and
the ground point at the bottom of the diagram. Components locations
are identified on the wiring diagrams. Any wires that don't connect
directly to a component are identified on the diagram to indicate
where they go.

METRIC CONVERSIONS
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
GENERAL INFORMATION
METRIC CONVERSIONS
METRIC CONVERSIONS
Metric conversions are making life more difficult for the
mechanic. In addition to doubling the number of tools required,
metric-dimensioned nuts and bolts are used alongside English
components in many new vehicles. The mechanic has to decide which tool
to use, slowing down the job. The tool problem can be solved by trial
and error, but some metric conversions aren't so simple. Converting
temperature, lengths or volumes requires a calculator and conversion
charts, or else a very nimble mind. Conversion charts are only part of
the answer though, because they don't help you "think" metric, or
"visualize" what you are converting. The following examples are
intended to help you "see" metric sizes:
LENGTH
Meters are the standard unit of length in the metric system.
The smaller units are 10ths (decimeter), 100ths (centimeter), and
1000ths (millimeter) of a meter. These common examples might help you
to visualize the metric units:
* A meter is slightly longer than a yard (about 40 inches).
* An aspirin tablet is about one centimeter across (.4 inches).
* A millimeter is about the thickness of a dime.
VOLUME
Cubic meters and centimeters are used to measure volume, just
as we normally think of cubic feet and inches. Liquid volume
measurements include the liter and milliliter, like the English quarts
or ounces.
* One teaspoon is about 4 cubic centimeters.
* A liter is about one quart.
* A liter is about 61 cubic inches.
WEIGHT
The metric weight system is based on the gram, with the most
common unit being the kilogram (1000 grams). Our comparable units are
ounces and pounds:
* A kilogram is about 2.2 pounds.
* An ounce is about 28 grams.
TORQUE
Torque is somewhat complicated. The term describes the amount
of effort exerted to turn something. A chosen unit of weight or force
is applied to a lever of standard length. The resulting leverage is
called torque. In our standard system, we use the weight of one pound
applied to a lever a foot long, resulting in the unit called a foot-
pound. A smaller unit is the inch-pound (the lever is one inch long).
Metric units include the meter kilogram (lever one meter long
with a kilogram of weight applied) and the Newton-meter (lever one
