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 .

@PrimeTechauto 7 ай бұрын

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.

Great video mate Do you have a part number of the valve adjustment kit ?

@PrimeTechauto Жыл бұрын

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

@PrimeTechauto 11 ай бұрын

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.

My car needs this just checked it it’s got a lot of gunk/carbon built up around the injector. Needs to sort it

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

I’m confused about the Maintenance Manual, and if I have a MIVEC engine. Are all MQ tritons 4n15 MIVEC? I have a 2015 triton

@PrimeTechauto 7 ай бұрын

yeah, all MQ & MR & also Pajero Sport from 2015 (comes with 4N15 engine) used MIVEC engine. If yours 2015 MN triton - it doesn't have MIVEC system.

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.

@PrimeTechauto 10 ай бұрын

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 im new subscriber just want to ask how many kilomiter or miles before doing the valve clearance adjustment

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?

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?

@PrimeTechauto 7 ай бұрын

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.

@@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.

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

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.
