4B11 NOTES
■ No.1 Cylinder Top Dead Center Compression Setup.
Rotate the crankshaft clockwise and mark the
camshaft sprocket and the cylinder head surface
so they all are in the horizontal position. Verify the
timing mark of the crankshaft and T Mark position
of the ignition timing indicator with the timing gear
case assembly.
* Mark the timing chain position with a paint pen to
be sure that the camshaft sprocket and timing chain
does not slip. When the paint mark returns, check
for any signs of slip which may need readjusting if it
happens.
■ The valve timing chain has to be loosened to remove and install the camshafts.
Insert the precision driver into the timing chain case service hole to unlock the
timing chain tensioner.
Use the special chain tensioner release bar tool (Mitsubishi genuine part
number MB992103) and insert it into the tension line of the timing chain to
release it after you have unlocked the timing chain tension from inside the
timing gear case assembly.
You use the Mitsubishi special tool (Genuine Parts Mitsubishi MB992103) to
press the intake side camshaft sprocket tension to push the tension guide out.
Then you remove the precision driver that was used to unlock the chain
tensioner.
