mitsubishi 4g63 #4g64 engine timing marks#4g63
The Mitsubishi 4G63 and 4G64 engines have similar timing marks. Here are the steps to locate the timing marks on these engines:
1. Turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition.
2. Open the hood of the car and locate the timing belt cover. It is usually at the front of the engine, near the top.
3. If necessary, remove any components blocking the timing belt cover (such as the air cleaner assembly) to gain access to the timing belt cover.
4. Remove the bolts that secure the timing belt cover to the engine block using a wrench or socket.
5. Once the timing belt cover is removed, locate the timing marks on the engine. There should be a timing mark on the crankshaft pulley and a timing mark on the camshaft pulley.
6. The crankshaft pulley timing mark is usually a notch or line on the outer edge of the pulley that lines up with a mark on the engine block or timing belt cover.
7. The camshaft pulley timing mark is usually a small dot or line on the outer edge of the pulley that lines up with a mark on the engine block or cylinder head.
8. Rotate the crankshaft pulley clockwise with a wrench or socket until the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley lines up with the mark on the engine block or timing belt cover.
9. Check that the camshaft pulley timing mark is aligned with the mark on the engine block or cylinder head.
10. If the timing marks are not aligned correctly, loosen the timing belt tensioner and adjust the timing belt to align the marks.
11. Once the timing marks are aligned correctly, tighten the timing belt tensioner and reassemble the timing belt cover and any other components that were removed.
It's important to consult your vehicle's repair manual for specific instructions on how to align the timing marks on your specific model and engine type. If you're not experienced with engine repair, it's best to consult with a qualified mechanic or engine specialist to ensure that the timing marks are aligned correctly.
