Remanufactured Engine Caution For
1989-99 Mitsubishi 2.0L VIN E, F, R & U Engines
The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information regarding a remanufactured engine caution for 1989-99 Mitsubishi 2.0L VIN E, F, R & U engines. In some instances a technician may encounter an above-described engine that has been remanufactured by Mitsubishi. If so, correct head gasket selection and usage is critical during subsequent engine work.
Engines remanufactured for Mitsubishi dealerships have an additional thickness (.012"or .300 mm) head gasket installed to compensate for machining during rebuilding. Failure to re-install a similar gasket on a Mitsubishi remanufactured engine may result in an engine knock and eventual engine damage. All remanufactured engines for Mitsubishi are shipped with a yellow colored one-inch by two-inch sticker with identification numbers attached to the block. The head gasket is available under part number MD349347. Listed below are engines and identification numbers that require use of the thicker head gasket.
