if the timing belt does go on gto it would be a miracle if you didn't bend half of the valves ! its whats called an interference motor. if something gets out of time - you get major interference, costs $$$$$
yes
I need to set the valve timing on a 1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT SOHC non-turbo charged. Can you send picture please
Honda Man The 2.4 Mitsubishi engine is an inteference engine. When a timing belt breaks on this engine valve damage can occur.
what is the cam timing specification for mitsubishi 4M51 engine?
Go to Erik Gross site or www.Team3S for complete diagram and instructions. You only get one chance to do it right or the engine bends valves

The Mitsubishi Canter 4M51 engine does not have a timing belt or chain.
No, this is not an interference engine. No damage should occur.
Replacing the water pump and replacing the timing belt are both part of the 60K maintenance.
Yes it is an interference engine and if the belt breaks you will have internal engine damage. But you will not have to replace the engine. The damage can be repaired easily and is much cheaper than installing another engine. To prevent this replace the belt every 60,000 miles as recommended by Mitsubishi.
interference engine--don't let the timing belt break, or you will incur serious engine damage! also, better replace the water pump at the same time you replace the timing belt.
There could be bent and/or broken valves. Possible damage to the cylinder head and valve guides. Could be damage to the top of the piston. Or you could br lucky and nothing happened.
