Re: rebuilding my Mitsu 4d55 with Hyundai parts??

well if you want to drive to new jersey you can find my 4d55 in the back of my montero in a friend's driveway. Feel free to poke around! If you want to bore it .30 over and fit some new rings and pistons while your in there, I won't complain....

Re: rebuilding my Mitsu 4d55 with Hyundai parts??

Thanks tiemyshoe. I haven't had much luck finding any other info, but I'll keep you posted. Hopefully the parts cross ok. How much difference could those 5 little mm make? I'm wondering if the crankshaft is the same and if the bearings, conn rod bushings, etc are all the same then too. Haven't had t...

Re: rebuilding my Mitsu 4d55 with Hyundai parts??

wait, wait, wait...nevermind. The 4d56 has a DIFFERENT bottom end. It's the head from the 4d56 I can swap onto my engine.

Re: rebuilding my Mitsu 4d55 with Hyundai parts??

Yea, my 4d55 came out of a 1983 2wd mitsu pick up, but I dropped it into my 2 door montero. The 4d55 has the same bottom end as the 4d56, so if you have Hyundai parts for a 4d56, that's what I'm looking for! ...I think. Do you know which 4d56 and Hyundai parts crossover? Does the Hyundai motor use t...

Rats. Thanks for the heads up.

rebuilding my Mitsu 4d55 with Hyundai parts??

Hi all, I've got an 83' 4d55 that lost compression due to worn rings. I tore the engine down a couple months ago and took it to a machine shop for inspection. Boring .30 over will clean the liners up, and the crank is in good shape so I guess I'm sticking with standard size bearings. I'm now living ...

Re: Hyundai Starex!

Hey all, I'm new to the board but had a few questions about Hyundai/Mitsu vans. I'm living in Ulaanbaatar Mongolia for a bit, and these Hyundais are everywhere! I was happy to hear that they basically a mitsubishi with the same engine as my montero back in the states (my 4d55 conversion montero, any...
