So at TDC you have to do the two adjustments on each of the - number 1 abd 2 on intake & number 1& 3 on exhaust Then turn engine 120 clockwise Then do the two adjustments on the - number 3, 4 on intake & 2 abd 4 on exhaust Correct? Thanx mate
Hi Thanks for a great video ,can you explain the injector tightening bolt sequence a little more ,front bolt 1.1 NM rear bolt ? 180 degree?and front bolt 90degree again ? Cheers and thanks .Paul
Tighten the bolt on the engine front side of the fuel injector holder bolts to 1.1 ± 0.1 N·m. tighten the engine rear side bolts of the fuel injector holder to 180 ± 1 degree angle. again tighten the engine front side bolts of the fuel injector holder to 90 ± 1 degree angle. 35 ± 5: Tightening torque of the fuel injection pipe (unit: N·m) Thank you for the feedback. hope this helps
@@PrimeTechauto Firstly thankyou for such a quick reply you're amazing 👍 Im no mechanic and dont really understand the degrees part of the tightening procedure,is the rear bolt tightened until it contacts the face and then simply turned another 180 degrees , obviously I have no idea .just interested in how this all works and the front bolt at 1.1 Nm doesnt sound very tight then 90degrees more ? Cheers Paul
@@PaulDockley-yp1vw yeah , just make sure everything tighten according to the procedure given. If you don’t tight the. Properly there may be serious damage can occur. I’ve seen that many times. Over tighten bolts can cause to built internal cracks in the cylinder head. Also loosen injectors bolts can pop out when compression build. Have seen this too. Burnt harness. So if you not sure . Highly recommend to consult a mechanic.
@@PrimeTechauto ,Have no fear ,I won't be doing it but I do like to know what is done and roughly how much it should cost before paying out good money .Ive heard of others with cracked heads due to the tightening of injectors being wrong .
Thanx mate. Have you done a cracked cylinder head repair job on this engine 4n15? I heard it’s a common fault on this engine after valve clearance work people cut the injector seat fo remove corrosion carbon build up with a reamer too much reducing the thickness and over tighten injector bolts .
Yes, I have done some jobs with coolant leak. it's not just because of cutting cylinder head. its more towards overtightened injector bolts causing to this.
Hey sorry , it doesn’t come as a kit anymore. You need to buy the rocker cover gasket , copper seals , injector tighten bridge washers,return line o rings , all seperate.
Hi mate , is it good practice to bleed the injectors first to get rid of any air trapped in the injector pipes by starting car before connecting the injector wires ? I saw few other people suggesting this step in diesel cars Or it’s not required in modern common rail engines due to high pressure pumps pushing most of trapped air to return line without any air lock issues Thanx
it doesn't require in common rail engines. since the pressure is too high, it's not safe doing this. just use the feed pump on the fuel filter and pump about 20 times and start the car. this will help to bleed the system.
Hi, I thought this Engine comed with hydraulic valve lifter? My MQ 2015 came with 2016 4N15 engine. Thanks for video I saved in my favourites.👍 Sorry you are correct, no hydraulic lifter. My book says inlet standard value 0.14 +/- 0.03mm Exhaust standard value 0.16 +/- 0.03mm Can you confirm?
Great video, but please dont have the music playing as a lot of people like to have the captions on to check on what you saying and the words to the music overide what you are saying!.
Hi, I’m in the process of getting my pajero sport 4n15 engine for valve clearance adjustment. I’m just wondering how long did it take you to do this job? Cheers
Nice video, I have pajero sport with this engine and I have completed almost 120k km or 60k miles. Do I need to do it now or wait to 200k and replace the injectors at the same time. What do you think? I use my car mostly on the highway with no towing.
Hi redfalcon Yeah it’s due for valve adjustment and fuel filter too. You can do the valve adjustment and required service items according to your region & service schedule. But you don’t need to replace the injectors at 200k if there’s no problems. Thanks
Hi sorry completely not related to the topic in this video, I have a small issue in my Triton mate, I recently got my intake and EGR carbon buildup cleaned on this engine . The problem is now It’s making a funny noise after I stop the car for about 5 seconds like a weird buzzing noise. Had a quick look online and a few forums say it’s due to egr and throttle trying to adjust , open , close and reset and might need a throttle / EGR relearn Is this correct? Are you aware of this issue? I am in Melbourne is this something your shop can fix if I bring the car to you guys please?
HI Salekanayake, yes I am located in Melbourne. check my business name and give me a call. Thanks. we can check this. if it is throttle resetting sound - it's completely normal.
Hi Informative video , just had this done at my dealer , I was charged $1300 for valve adjustment is that a fair price ? If not what woulda fair price be Appreciated your reply
@@davidm1609 hi David, call me on my business number. I’ll give you a quote. I always use genuine parts only and carry out Injector learn. Everything will be done according to workshop manual. 3 cars done on the row this week.
Thanks for the reply unfortunately I am in Sydney and have had the work carried out yesterday, think next time I will be taking it to my local workshop and avoid the dealer
@@davidm1609I was quoted $1k by Mitsubishi dealer to adjust 3.2 Pajero DID 4M41 valves…I think that’s a bit steep as well. $1300 for 4N15 is also too much IMO…I would think a competent diesel mechanic could do it for $700-800 max including OEM gaskets
I got quoted $1850 three weeks ago when I took the car in to service one and only fault = rpm dropping to 625 then immediately back to 650 every time I come to a stop or when the AC clicks on and off. They looked at car for 15 minutes, checked for trouble codes, updated the computer and that was it, the fault is still there and they made it worse, rough idle, rough while driving. $200 to make my car worse and they said it could be EGR or valve trimming. I replaced the EGR twice with new OEM. Why? I will post another question here. I will do valve adjustment myself tomorrow, hopefully the injectors aren't stuck.
@@RichieRich845 EGR - No How’s your fuel filter. Have you change it recently: Valve adjustment - No , never seen happens tho kind of issue due to valve adjustment. How many kms done your triton ? Is its MQ or MR ? I’ve never seen a software update for this kind of issue. Before doing anything. Remove your air flow sensor and clean it with a proper cleaner. Don’t blow air. Check this first.
FYI Primetech, nevermind I order another EGR from Mitsubishi and returned the eBay Genuine EGR. Installed the new one, no vacuum leak. 3X EGR replaced hours of fun😁. I did the valve clearance didn't fix my rough idle, this time I did a smoke test from the DPF sensor hose and found three leaks using smoke and soapy water, 1) leak smoke in the turbo actuator lever that moves the vaines, 2) Leak in the DPF Temperature number 1 Sensor using soapy water, couldn't see smoke. 3) DPF to exhaust pipe flange leak using soapy water, couldn't see smoke. ua-cam.com/video/g85enwsr8Ic/v-deo.htmlsi=I-flZve3WGMcTwA9. In the video your looking from the bottom of the turbo looking up at the lever with only 0.1 PSI pressure.
@PrimeTechauto waiting for the turbo cartridge to arrive, I will let to know the outcome when replaced, the flange and temperature sensor will get RTV.
I’ve been doing this over 15 years. Never had issues. It won’t move if you tight it correctly. (Not over tighten the lock up nut) You can always use offset spanner with a screwdriver when tighten the lock up nut. Cheers
Hi Primetech, next time you have MQ or MR can you do a smoke test through the intake please? I recently did one and had smoke come out of the EGR through the little opening that allows atmospheric pressure so the diaphragm can move freely when the engine applies vacuum, so I ordered another one and replaced EGR got the same result, ordered another EGR with the same result, is this normal? I looked on the internet and got mixed answers and the dealership couldn't tell me either or they don't know. Thanks. ua-cam.com/video/EvBClnmCBNs/v-deo.htmlsi=iER9J3Lx9dEnHXS1
Gonna be carrying this out myself soon since i found out my mitsu dealer never did most of the warranty maitenense except for oil. Found out my fuel filter was pitch black and i've had constant ticking thats not a bad bearing soo i'm guessing the lazy lricks never adjusted the valved
yeah, sounds good. make sure you do the adjustment when the engine is cold. you will get good results. let me know how you go with this. don't overtight injectors.
Excellent video A+
Thank you kindly!
Good video mate 👍🏻
thank you
awesome, thank you😊🤙🤙
My pleasure!
My car needs this just checked it it’s got a lot of gunk/carbon built up around the injector. Needs to sort it
yeah , I have seen that happens lot when the injector seal leaks.
You’re local to me I’ll get In touch for a quote
So
at TDC you have to do the two adjustments on each of the
- number 1 abd 2 on intake & number 1& 3 on exhaust
Then turn engine 120 clockwise
Then do the two adjustments on the
- number 3, 4 on intake & 2 abd 4 on exhaust
Correct?

Hola, por favor cuál es la holgura a la que se calibran las válvulas?
Inlet 0.10mm
Exhaust 0.15mm
Hi im new subscriber just want to ask how many kilomiter or miles before doing the valve clearance adjustment
