Removal guidelines
A
Removing the delivery pipe, the injector, and the fuel
pressure regulator ASSY
Loosen the bolts holding it in place, slightly dislodge all of the
components and make space for the alternator to be removed.
B
Removing the drive belt
The following procedures are necessary because a serpentine drive
system with auto-tensioner has been installed.
1. Insert a 12.7sq spinner handle into the auto-tensioner hole, and
turn the auto-tensioner in an anti-clockwise direction until it
reaches the stopper.
2. Align the A hole and the B hole, hold them in place by inserting
an L-shaped hexagonal Allen Key, and remove the drive belt.
Caution
If planning to re-use the drive belt, ensure that it will be
refitted the same way round, by marking the back of the belt
with chalk arrows indicating the direction of movement.
C
Removing the alternator
Push the whole engine up using a garage jack, and remove the
alternator from above.

3. Push the V.V.T. sprocket firmly to the end and, holding the
hexagonal part of the camshaft with a wrench, check that the V.V.T.
sprocket does not rotate.
4. Hold the hexagonal section of the camshaft with a wrench and
tighten the V.V.T. sprocket bolt to the specified torque of 65 ±5 N-m.
5. Hold the hexagonal section of the camshaft with a wrench and
check that the V.V.T. sprocket does not rotate.
Note :
This check shows that the V.V.T. sprocket is locked at the maximum
delay angle by the interior pin.
Installation of plug cap
Note :
The washer must not be reused.
1. Install the washer on the plug cap.
2. Hold the hexagonal section of the camshaft with a wrench and
tighten the plug cap to the specified torque of 32±2 N-m.

264G6 – CRANKSHAFT / CYLINDER BLOCK
Installation Service Point
Installation of crankshaft bearings
1. Using the table below, select a bearing of the correct size
corresponding to the diameter of the crankshaft journal.
(Selecting a bearing : Example)
If the identifier on the crankshaft journal is 0, and the identifier on the
cylinder block bearing is 1, then a bearing with identification mark 1
should be chosen.
If the identifier on the crankshaft is difficult to make out, measure the
diameter of the journal and choose the bearing that corresponds to the
measured diameter.

Cautionary Note regarding servicing of vehicles fitted with SRS airbags and/or seatbelts
with pre-tensioner systems.
Warnings:
1. Incorrect inspection or servicing of a component part of the SRS airbag system or seatbelt pre-tensioner system,
or a part relating to these systems, may cause accidental operation (deployment) of the SRS airbag or seatbelt
pre-tensioners, or may cause these systems to be disabled, leading in either case the risk of serious injury.
2. If parts may be affected by heat during painting operations, then those parts must be removed in advance. This
applies to the SRS-ECU, airbag modules (driver’s sear and front passenger’s seat), clock springs, front impact
sensors, side impact sensors, and pre-tensioner seatbelts.
• 93ºC or above : SRS-ECU, airbag modules (driver’s sear and front passenger’s seat), clock springs, front
impact sensors, side impact sensors
•90ºC or above : Pre-tensioner seatbelts
3. The component parts of the SRS airbag system or seatbelt pre-tensioner system, and parts relating to these
systems, must always be inspected and serviced by a Mitsubishi dealer.
4. Service personnel must read the relevant service manuals (particularly, Section 52B – SRS Airbags) carefully and
thoroughly, before inspecting or servicing the component parts of the SRS airbag system or seatbelt pre-
tensioner system, and parts relating to these systems.
