Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

From my mechanic: "this is what we found, no. four cyl's exhaust valve has broken off and created havoc inside the cyl and smashed it up pretty good, the good news is the cyl itself is in good shape so we need one piston, cyl head, head gasket, oil pan gasket, we could go ahead and install new rings in all cyls( we have it apart anyway)"

So, I need:
- 1 Piston
- 1 Cylinder head
- 1 Head gasket
- 1 Oil pan gasket
- New rings for all the cylinders
- Timing belt (and associated supplies)

EDIT: I also need the rubber tube joining the oil pan to the turbo charger and I forgot to mention the other gaskets like the intake and exhaust manifold gaskets

Please let me know if you can help...

I have long blocks , short blocks , heads , complete engines and all engine components in stock . (All used)

Green 1, recommend use Glen at CC Autos (he already replied to you).

We stopped there recently to picnic in his country farm and snoop over this place we had heard about (we don't live near there). Wow You would love it! The yard is amazing, lots of "parts only" vehicles, and lots of parts. he is a qualified mechanic, and very chatty (great english accent), and very determined to do everything safely correctly and knows all the BC code stuff. I would trust him implicitly.

Best contact him by email, he checks often, as too busy to answer cell.

John from Rocky Mountain Import may have new parts for you, as he supplies other dealers with genuine stuff.

Let me know if I can help (buy stuff, mail stuff).

Cheers, Christine.

I have currently had replies from 3 different companies (all of whom are highly regarded on this forum and elsewhere), I'm in the process of confirming actual part requirements, costs, and options before placing my orders.

I do want to thank everyone for their help through this situation though. This is one of the biggest fears of anyone driving an "unusual" vehicle, and it is really nice to know that there is such an amazing support network in place for us to rely on!

were trying to prepare the parts for you green 1,

What happened to have a valve break?

What happened to have a valve break?

We will probably never know for sure, however our best guess is an error in installation when I had the head replaced just over a year ago. (the head was replaced at that time due to it cracking from overheating due to a clogged radiator on import When we opened up the engine we did find several bolts that were loose (the bolts holding the camshaft were loose. possibly others as well) I suspect this was from that work, however it was over 20,000 km ago, so it isn't certain.

For those asking what shop did the original, and possibly problematic, head replacement... First let me say that I was quite impressed with their service at the time, even though they did state that they had no previous Delica experience. I also can't be sure this is their fault, so please don't use this as your only "damning evidence" against them. However in the interest of full disclosure, and to help anyone who might be leaning one way or the other in relation to a specific shop I will add to the "internet pool of knowledge" and let you know that the shop was Radd Cruisers in Nanaimo BC.
