1991 MITSUBISHI MONTERO oil type

* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
NOTE: Always refer to appropriate engine overhaul article in the
ENGINES section for complete overhaul procedures and
specifications for the vehicle being repaired.
TIMING GEAR BACKLASH & RUNOUT
On engines where camshaft gear operates directly on
crankshaft gear, gear backlash and runout must be checked. To check
backlash, install dial indicator with tip resting on tooth of camshaft
gear. Rotate camshaft gear as far as possible. Adjust indicator to
zero. Rotate camshaft gear in opposite direction as far as possible
and note reading.
To determine timing gear runout, mount dial indicator with
tip resting on face edge of camshaft gear. Adjust indicator to zero.
Rotate camshaft gear 360 degrees and note reading. If backlash or
runout exceed specifications, replace camshaft and/or crankshaft
gear.
REAR MAIN OIL SEAL
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
NOTE: Always refer to appropriate engine overhaul article in the
ENGINES section for complete overhaul procedures and
specifications for the vehicle being repaired.
INSTALLATION
One-Piece Type Seal
For one-piece type oil seal installation, coat block contact
surface of seal with sealer if seal is not factory coated. Ensure seal
surface is free of burrs. Lubricate seal lip with engine oil and press
seal into place using proper oil seal installer. See Fig. 27.

Rope Type Seal
For rope type rear main oil seal installation, press seal

lightly into its seat. Using seal installer, fully seat seal in
bearing cap or cylinder block.
Trim seal ends even with block parting surface. Some
applications require sealer to be applied on main bearing cap prior
to installation. See Fig. 28.

Split-Rubber Type Seal
Follow manufacturers procedures when installing split-rubber
type rear main oil seals. Installation procedures vary with engine
type. See appropriate ENGINE article in this section. See Fig. 29.

OIL PUMP

* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
NOTE: Always refer to appropriate engine overhaul article in the
ENGINES section for complete overhaul procedures and
specifications for the vehicle being repaired.
ROTOR-TYPE
Oil pump rotors must be marked for location prior to removal.
See Fig. 30 . Remove outer rotor and measure thickness and diameter.
Measure inner rotor thickness. Inspect shaft for scoring or wear.
Inspect rotors for pitting or damage. Inspect cover for grooving or
wear. Replace components if worn or damaged.
Fig. 30: Typical Rotor Type Oil Pump
This Graphic For General Information Only
Measure outer rotor-to-body clearance. Replace pump assembly
if clearance exceeds specification. Measure clearance between rotors.
See Fig. 31 . Replace shaft and both rotors if clearance exceeds
specifications.

Fig. 31: Measuring Rotor Clearance - Typical
This Graphic For General Information Only
Install rotors in pump body. Position straightedge across
pump body. Using feeler gauge, measure clearance between rotors and
straightedge. Pump cover wear is measured using a straightedge and
feeler gauge. Replace pump if clearance exceeds specification.
GEAR TYPE
Oil pump gears must be marked for location prior to removal.
See Fig. 32 . Remove gears from pump body. Inspect gears for pitting
or damage. Inspect cover for grooving or wear.
Fig. 32: Typical Gear Type Oil Pump
This Graphic For General Information Only
Measure gear diameter and length. Measure gear housing cavity
depth and diameter. See Fig. 33. Replace components if worn or

(the whole presented as an assembly). A rebuilt or new
oil pump, or kit shall be supplied or fitted as
appropriate.
LONG BLOCK ASSEMBLY INSPECTION

\


Condition Code Procedure
Internal component failure
(any component) ........ A ........... (1) Require repair or
replacement of the long
block assembly.
( 1) - It is Required that all other failure related components
be inspected for cause and condition. Additional components
or assemblies may be Suggested for repair or replacement
such as a water pump on a short block (reason code 4,
technician's recommendation based on substantial and
informed experience).
Example:
If there is a failed head gasket with an external coolant
leak, in addition to Requiring replacement of the head
gasket, inspection of the following for cause and
condition is Required: Block, Cooling System, Cylinder
Head. It may be Suggested that additional inspections be
performed, such as the other head gasket on a V-type
engine.

SHORT BLOCK ASSEMBLIES
NOTE: A Short Block Assembly is a cylinder block and all those
components contained within the limits of the block deck
or decks, the pan rail, the block rear face and the
timing cover (where fitted), including the crankshaft.
