Disadvantages of the Mitsubishi 4G91 engine

  • Engine modifications equipped with a carburetor are famous for frequent failures in its operation.
  • Also in the engine, hydraulic lifters wear out very quickly and require replacement.
  • If the idle speed regulator fails, the engine starts to stall constantly.
  • About 150,000 km of run, rings usually lie down and a strong oil burn begins.
  • A drop in the level of lubrication in the system here often results in turning the liners.
