Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

The seemingly small problem of valve clearance appears to have created many more for me. The roller bearing has about 20 needles in it. I found three plus half of one. I thought the others must have worked out and fallen into the oil pan. I have flushed the pan twice, collecting and examining the fl...

Thanks Growlerbernz. You got me checking the rocker arms and led to removing the shaft they are operating on. The valve that I was most concerned about had a failed bearing on the roller. This was the front exhaust valve. The other exhaust roller bearings are loose. My Delica has just 122K on it - s...

The engine developed a "lope", lost power, and started smoking while climbing a hill. I first thought it was the injectors, but decided to test compression. All in the 300 + range. Took off the valve cover to check valve clearance. Some valves had very wide clearance. I had set them 2 year...

Bought my first Delica L300 Exceed, 2.5 diesel 4WD Automatic in December. The seller admitted to starting problems and suggested a block heater. I am familiar with diesels (have a 1993 VW Passat diesel and two Kubota diesel tractors), so the task of getting it starting didn’t seem too daunting. Duri...
