  Q: How to remove and install the Camshaft and Valve Lifter for various engine types on Mitsubishi Diamante?

  A:

  You will need to first unbolt the negative battery cable and set the No. 1 piston to TDC of its compression stroke for different engine types to remove and install the camshaft. Unplug all requisite hoses and cables, after which remove the valve cover and discard the gasket. Loosen the Rocker Arm assemblies until they can be removed. Next, remove the Timing Belt covers and timing belt assembly. To prevent the camshaft sprocket from turning, secure it in place, and then undo the bolt and remove the sprocket, taking note of the dowel pin position. Take out the camshaft oil seal and the camshaft, checking all parts for damage and wear. Before actual fitting, the camshaft is first to be lubricated with heavy engine oil. Secondly, dowel pin should be fitted in correct way to confirm camshaft fitting. Thirdly, camshaft end-play must be checked for confirmation of camshaft fitting. Proceed to install a new oil seal, camshaft sprocket, and timing belt assembly, followed by the rocker shaft assembles as per their relevant torque specifications. Reinstall the valve cover with the new gasket. Install and align the distributor. Reconnect hoses and cables and check for ignition timing. When inspecting a camshaft, use a dial gauge or micrometer to measure the cam lobe lift. Compare the results with the specifications to know if replacement is necessary.
