2Slowly close the vice to force the rod in until the set hole (A) of the rod is lined up with the set hole (B) of the cylinder.

3Insert a metal wire (1.4 mm in diameter) into the set holes.

4Remove the auto-tensioner from the vice.

(2)Install the auto tensioner on the cylinder block through the oil pump case.

"CA TIMING BELT

(1)Turn the crankshaft sprocket to position its timing mark 3 teeth away from the timing mark on the crankcase. (That is, slightly lower the No. 1 piston from the top dead centre on the compression stroke.)

Caution

D If the camshaft sprocket is turned with the piston at the top dead centre on the compression stroke, valves may interfere with the piston.

(2)Align the timing marks for the left bank camshaft sprocket.

(3)Align the timing marks for the right bank camshaft sprocket.

Caution

D The camshaft sprocket may turn un-intentionally due to the valve spring tension. Take care not to injure your fingers.

(4)Align timing marks for the crankshaft sprocket.

(5)Install the timing belt over the sprockets in the following sequence.

1Place the timing belt over the crankshaft. While applying tension to the belt, set it over the idler pulley.

2Place the belt over the left bank camshaft sprocket.

3While applying tension to the belt, place it over the water pump pulley.

4Place the belt over the right bank camshaft sprocket.

5Place the belt over the tensioner pulley.

(6)While pressing the tensioner pulley lightly against the timing belt, temporarily tighten its centre bolt.

(7)Check that all timing marks are in alignment.

6G7 specifications

The Mitsubishi 6G7 engine is a robust V6 gasoline engine that has garnered attention for its blend of performance and efficiency. Primarily designed for use in a variety of Mitsubishi vehicles, including sedans and SUVs, the 6G7 series illustrates the engineering prowess of Mitsubishi in creating reliable and powerful engines.

One of the standout features of the 6G7 engine is its V6 configuration, which provides a good balance of power and smoothness. This engine typically displaces 3.0 liters, though variants exist with slightly different displacements. The 6G7 showcases a double overhead camshaft (DOHC) design, which facilitates efficient airflow and enhances power output. This configuration allows the engine to produce a substantial amount of horsepower while maintaining fuel efficiency, making it an attractive option for both performance-driven drivers and those focused on daily commuting.

In terms of technology, the 6G7 utilizes Mitsubishi’s advanced fuel injection system, which optimizes the fuel-air mixture for efficient combustion. This not only contributes to improved power output but also helps in reducing emissions, making the engine more environmentally friendly. Additionally, the integration of a variable valve timing (VVT) system enhances the engine's performance across various RPM ranges, providing both low-end torque and high-end power.

The 6G7 is designed with durability in mind. It features a robust iron block and aluminum alloy cylinder heads, which contribute to the engine's longevity and overall reliability. The use of advanced materials and manufacturing techniques helps to minimize wear and extend the lifespan of critical components.

Another important characteristic of the 6G7 engine is its smooth operation. The V6 configuration inherently provides balance, reducing vibrations and ensuring a refined driving experience. Coupled with a well-tuned exhaust system, the engine produces a pleasing sound that enhances the overall driving experience without being overwhelming.

In conclusion, the Mitsubishi 6G7 engine series stands out for its combination of power, efficiency, and durability. With advanced technologies like DOHC, VVT, and an efficient fuel injection system, the 6G7 remains a popular choice in various Mitsubishi models. Its smooth operation and robust construction further establish it as a reliable engine, appealing to a wide range of drivers seeking performance without sacrificing efficiency. The 6G7 serves as a testament to Mitsubishi's commitment to engineering excellence and innovation in the automotive industry.
