read owners book before making a conclusion like that

your car timing chain has no deffect in it

I would, if I had the time. My to do list is quite long... which is why I have not posted more videos here yet. still working on my basement finishing project before I get back to car stuff.

@@rbcustomwraps1157 damn it 😄

​@@rbcustomwraps1157 been trying to figure out how to send you a pm have some questions lol

@@MRNOISY Hey, sorry, I didnt have my email address on this channel yet, too many other projects on the go. I just added it in the about section. check there and shoot me an email.

I'd say about 8 hours on a saturday, give or take some thinking and swearing.

Sorry, i don't know the different between the engines.

Sorry for the late reply, there really is only one gasket and that's the valve cover. the seal on the side is high temp gasket putty you use, as well as a small amount on the valve cover right at the spot where the timing cover attaches. There is also a crank shaft seal you can replace as well. 4 parts I ordered: Timing chain kit crank shaft seal valve cover gasket timing cover seal I used rockauto

@@rbcustomwraps1157 Sounds good 👍🏼 I used Napa and finished the job already. Thanks though.

It actually didn't in the end. the Dash warning light of the Red Exclamation triangle..... according to the manual is a timing chain warn warning. This ended up being a false warning. The only way to inspect the wear is to open it up anyways and check the tensioner. And since I did it myself, parts from rockauto were less than $200, it really was not that bad. The red triangle warning light ended up being related to the TPMS sensors on the tires that were not reset. Once those were reset, both warnings went away. And i had a new timing chain as well in the end.... that I will never have to do again on this car. The dash warnings are really garbage on this car for this. And i was not about to pay $500 just to have it inspected at the dealer when i could do the work myself and replace it for a fraction of the "inspection" cost.

Can you kindly post the link where to get the timing kit?

Ment to type chain...👍

The whole oil change excuse by Mitsubishi is baloney. The chain just wasn't up to the job to begin with which is my they re-designed it.

We have a 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer. 120k Miles. Is the timing chain faulty? Is it time to change mine also?

Possibly, it find the engine is always been a little "ticky"

​@@rbcustomwraps1157 that means that the valve lash needs to be adjusted. My 4B11 Lancer does it too and I need to swap them (my valve lash was last adjusted by Mitsubishi at 90,000 KM and my car is now at 180,000 KM). It's a really tedious and painful process as you need to remove the cams (intake and exhaust) to actually swap the buckets/tappets. You also need a timing chain tensioner release bar (Tomei makes one) to hold it in place as you remove the cams otherwise you'll have to go through what you did in this video all over again. The most critical part of the whole procedure is to have high quality feeler gauges and a micrometre that is calibrated. One of my two were not calibrated correctly so I now have to re-measure everything all over again (which means more wasted gaskets). Also, use a torque wrench when tightening the rocker cover bolts. Do not risk doing it by 'feel' manually and guess the torque. If one of those bolts snaps in the aluminium block, it's going to be a real nightmare to get out. The correct torque and rotation sequence is also critical to ensuring no leaks and that the gasket seats right. For more information, check the Mitsubishi Service Manual as it has highly detailed illustrations. Cheers from Australia.

No, i did not do the oil pump chain. There was 0 play or indication of wear.

The timing chain part number is the same as the 2.0L and the 2.4L inline 4cyl. so, if your outlander has the 2.4L 4 cyl, then yes, it would be the same part and the same procedure I would think. The part numbers for the tensioners are also the same. As for reliability. I would say pretty damn good. I dont know of any major issues with them other than pre-mature chain stretch.... especially on the Evo's. I have driven plenty of these cars with 250,000 km on them and other than exhaust leaks the owner can't be bothered to fix, the engine itself was strong and ran well. I should also add that the CVT part. aka the automatic transmission is garbage.... mostly. it has a high failure rate. Which is why we have a 5speed manual.

@@rbcustomwraps1157 thank you for your comment Im looking for cx5 i dont want cvt transmission and only mazda have plantar transmission honda has too but they have some littel annoying problems 👍

@@user-tx1vy3dk6p Yes, there are a lot of used cars out there and it is a real pain to find a good one. Every brand or model could have issues and lots can be good too. finding a model you like is the easy part, finding a good one is not. Biggest suggestion i can make is when you look at a used car, ALWAYS make sure the engine is cold and they didnt run it before you got there to "warm it up" . A cold start on any engine is a telling point of how good it is and if it was well maintained. Most of the time if someone warms it up, or has it running when you get there is either hiding something or is just clueless on how to sell a car.

@@rbcustomwraps1157 from the people i know that have cx5 from 2012 all of them saying that is the most reliable car that they have had Yes its not luxurious like lexus but if maintained by the book it will run 300-400000km with no problem And it's cheap to maintain with good fuel economy great engine and transmission and can do light off road in the 4x4 model like Forster so its good choice just need good maintained car and its a win win Have nice day thanks for the comments

@@rbcustomwraps1157 are you sure sir? 2015 outlander 2.4L liter has smaller fan belt compare to 2.0 lancer.

When the computer system says that the timing chain is worn with a warning and if you look at any lancer forum, the chains on these engines stretch prematurely and are prone to overstretching and require replacement. definitely NOT good for the life of the engine. besides, parts were cheap and I no longer have any concern about it.

There's a design flaw with the chains in these. I have an Evo X with 28k miles and changing mine. They changed the design after 2012 with a much stronger chain. The old ones have known to jump teeth and even snap which destroys the engine so its pretty much standard to replace the old style chain.
