REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> DRIVE PLATE BOLT / FLYWHEEL BOLT REMOVAL

1.Using the special tool Flywheel stopper (MD998781), hold the drive plate or flywheel in place.
2.Remove the drive plate bolts or flywheel bolts.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

>>A<< DETONATION SENSOR BRACKET INSTALLATION

Check that the bracket is in proper contact with the cylinder block boss and tighten to the specified torque of 28 ± 2 N·m in the order shown.

>>B<< CRANKSHAFT BEARING INSTALLATION

1.Measure the crankshaft journal diameter and confirm its classification from the following table. In the case of a crankshaft supplied as a service part, identification colors/marks of its journals are painted/stamped at the positions shown in the illustration.

2.The cylinder block bearing bore diameter identification marks are stamped at the position shown in the illustration from left to right, beginning at No.1.

Crankshaft journal outside diameter		Cylinder block bearing bore	Crankshaft bearing No.1,4	Crankshaft bearing No.2,3
Identification color	Size mm	Identification
Identification color	Size mm	Mark	Color	Color
Yellow	63.994 - 64.000	I	Pink	Blue
		II	Red	Pink
		III	Green	Red
None	63.988 - 63.994	I	Red	Pink
		II	Green	Red
		III	Black	Green
White	63.982 - 63.988	I	Green	Red
		II	Black	Green
		III	Brown	Black

3.From the following table, select a bearing whose size is appropriate for the crankshaft journal outside diameter. If the crankshaft journal outside diameter ID color is "yellow" and the cylinder block bearing bore ID mark is "III," for example, select a bearing whose ID color is "green."
If there is no ID color paint on the crankshaft, measure the journal outside diameter and select a bearing appropriate for the measured valve.

4.Install bearings with a groove to the cylinder block.
5.Install the bearings having no groove to the bearing cap.

>>C<< CRANKSHAFT THRUST BEARING INSTALLATION

1.Install the thrust bearing in the No.3 bearing bore in the cylinder block and in the bearing cap. For easier installation, apply engine oil to the bearings; this will help hold them in position.
2.The thrust bearings must be installed with their groove toward the crankshaft web.

>>D<< BEARING CAP / BEARING BOLT INSTALLATION

1.Attach the bearing cap on the cylinder block as shown in the illustration.

2.Tighten the bearing cap bolts to specified torque of 74 ± 4 N·m in the sequence shown in the illustration.

3.Check that the crankshaft rotates smoothly.

4.Check the end play. If it exceeds the limit value, replace the thrust bearing.
Standard value: 0.05 - 0.25 mm
Limit: 0.3 mm

>>E<< CRANKSHAFT REAR OIL SEAL INSTALLATION

Using special tool Crankshaft rear oil seal installer (MD998718), press-fit a new crankshaft rear oil seal into the oil seal case.

>>F<< OIL SEAL CASE INSTALLATION

1.Remove completely old FIPG remaining on the rear oil seal case and cylinder block.

2.Apply the sealant to the oil seal case.
Specified sealant:
Mitsubishi Genuine Part No.MD970389 or equivalent
3.Apply a small amount of engine oil to the entire circumference of the oil seal lip section, and place the oil seal case on the cylinder block.

note

Install the oil seal case within 15 minutes after applying liquid gasket.

note

Then wait at least one hour. Never start the engine or let engine oil or coolant touch the adhesion surface during that time.

>>G<< DRIVE PLATE BOLT / FLYWHEEL BOLT INSTALLATION

1.Using the special tool Flywheel stopper (MD998781) secure the drive plate or flywheel.
2.Tighten the drive plate bolt or flywheel bolt to the specified torque of 74 ± 2 N·m.
