Triton 4D56 Valve Adjustment Tutorial

Although a massive job, valve clearances must be adjusted according to the manufacturer’s recommendations on this 4D56 Mitsubishi diesel engine. If the clearances are too loose, excessive noise and increased wear on the cams, rockers and valve tips could occur. Too tight could create harder starting, no start, poor idle and the possibility of burnt valves, to name just a few.

Thanks Max.
Great video. I have done this crappy job before but have saved this video to re-watch for next time as a familiarisation.
Took me approx 6 hours (including intake cleaning). Certainly didn't set any speed records.

[@MiracleMAX]

I also have another video in the pipeline for intake cleaning on a 4M41. Lots of fun.......NOT.
I've done heaps of cleans on the 4D56 & I am not a speedster either. Quality work takes time.

[@turbofan67]

Great tutorial, but what a gin around just to get the tappet cover off. I thought modern sport bikes were bad.
I'll definitely be watching again when it's time to do my valves.

[@MiracleMAX]

Glad to hear you got some benefit from the video. There are plenty of other Triton videos on the channel that you might enjoy.

[@cmishoo]

I wish i watched this b4 buying a Triton. Such a labor intensive motor. From balance shaft belts to valve clearances and injectors.
All requiring huge amounts of time to carry out any work.

[@MiracleMAX]

Yup, when they are going well, they are great......when they are not going so well, then not so much. I have quite a few Triton videos on the channel that might interest you.
Yes the maintenance is quite labour intensive.
Thanks for your comment 😉

[@RichieRich845]

👍Hi Max, how did you turn the engine and if it was an automatic transmission did you have it in neutral?
On my 74 alfa I use a socket on the crank pulley.

[@MiracleMAX]

Yes, I used the crank bolt to turn the engine. It's only a manual gearbox that you would have to put it in neutral to turn as the transmission is not directly mechanically connected to the engine with an automatic.

[@colinreid7305]

Another useful video. Many people have lost the skill/experience adjusting valve clearances.

[@MiracleMAX]

Great point! But adjusting them is probably more crucial due to tighter clearances....

[@mattduncan8304]

Where did you get the adjusting tool from?

[@MiracleMAX]

It's listed in the video description

[@tomjones4145]

Brilliant video / thank you

[@MiracleMAX]

You are welcome. I have quite a few other Triton videos that might interest you.

[@davidplaten2701]

Very helpful video for us diy guys who choose to do our own mechanical work. I found this very useful and will resort back to this when I do the timing belt and major service on my mn triton. Thankyou

[@MiracleMAX]

Great to hear. That's exactly why I did the video. I have quite a few Triton videos that you might find useful. I should do a timing belt video next Triton I get booked in....

[@davidplaten2701]
