REMOVAL SERVICE POINT
 
 
<<A>> ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH REMOVAL
cautionThe sealant is applied to the engine oil pressure switch. Remove the engine oil pressure switch with care not to break it.
Use special tool MB992118 to remove the engine oil pressure switch.
 
 
 
 
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
 
 
>>A<< WATER PIPE GASKET INSTALLATION
Install the water pipe gasket as its protrusion is in the direction shown.
 

 
 
>>B<< WATER HOSE A INSTALLATION
Make sure that the marking on the hose should face towards the transaxle.
 

 
 
>>C<< THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
Install the thermostat onto the cylinder block such that the jiggle valve is positioned on top of the thermostat housing.
 

 
 
>>D<< ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION
cautionBe careful not to damage the connector portion (made of resin) of the sensor with the tool.
1. Remove any sealant that may be remaining on the engine coolant temperature sensor or the threaded hole in the cylinder head.
2. Apply sealant onto the threaded portion (illustrated) of the sensor.
Specified sealant: LOCTITE® 262 or equivalent
3. Install the engine coolant temperature sensor onto the cylinder block by tightening it to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 30 ± 9 N·m (22 ± 6 ft-lb)
 

 
 
>>E<< CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR INSTALLATION
cautionApply sealant correctly so that it will not be squeezed out onto the end of the threaded portion upon assembly.
1. Remove any sealant that may be remaining on the angle sensor or the mounting face on the cylinder block.
2. Apply a bead of sealant with a diameter of 1.7 ± 0.5 mm (0.07 ± 0.01 inch) on the cylinder block as illustrated.
Specified sealant: MITSUBISHI GENUINE PART NUMBER MZ100191 or equivalent
3. Install the crankshaft position sensor onto the cylinder block by tightening it to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 9.5 ± 2.5 N·m (84 ± 22 in-lb)
 

 
 
>>F<< KNOCK SENSOR INSTALLATION
Align the knock sensor connector with the position shown in the illustration, and then tighten it to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 20 ± 2 N·m (15 ± 1 ft-lb)
 

 
 
>>G<< ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH INSTALLATION
cautionApply sealant correctly so that it will not be squeezed out onto the end of the threaded portion upon assembly.
1. Remove any sealant that may be remaining on the engine oil pressure switch or the threaded hole in the cylinder block.
2. Apply sealant to the threaded portion of the engine oil pressure switch as illustrated.
Specified sealant: MITSUBISHI GENUINE PART NUMBER MZ100077 or equivalent
noteInstall the engine oil pressure switch immediately after applying sealant.
3.
cautionAfter the installation, until a sufficient period of time (one hour or more) elapses, do not apply the engine oil or water to the sealant application area or start the engine.
In the same manner as removal, use special tool MB992118 to tighten the engine oil pressure switch to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 10 ± 2 N·m (89 ± 17 in-lb)
