Why Timing Service Matters

• Prevents severe internal engine damage on interference engines.
• Restores precise valve timing for optimal performance and efficiency.
• Eliminates startup rattle, belt slip, or chain noise that cause DTCs and rough idle.
• Protects long-term engine health with genuine components and fluids.

Mitsubishi Models We Service

• Outlander / Outlander Sport – 2.0L & 2.4L MIVEC engines
• Eclipse Cross – 1.5L Turbo MIVEC timing chain system
• Mirage / Mirage G4 – 1.2L 3-cylinder DOHC timing chain
• Lancer / Lancer Evolution – 2.0L/2.4L MIVEC and 4B11T turbo engines
• Older Models: 6G72/74 V6 and 4G63/64 belt-driven engines (VIN-verified)

Note: Most late-model Mitsubishi engines use timing chains, while older models (Lancer, Galant, early Outlander) rely on timing belts. We confirm the correct setup by VIN before service.

Engines We Service for Timing

• 4B11 / 4B12 (MIVEC): timing chain, guides, tensioners, and cam phaser inspection.
• 4G63 / 4G64 / 6G72: timing belt, idlers, tensioner, water pump, and seal replacement.
• 3A92 (Mirage 1.2L): compact chain set with low-friction guides and precise torque setup.
• 4B40 (Eclipse Cross 1.5L Turbo): chain service, oil feed and tensioner inspection, phaser testing.

Signs You Need Timing Service

• Rattling or ticking noise at startup or under load.
• Check Engine Light for cam/crank correlation codes (P0011–P0017).
• Rough idle, hesitation, or reduced power from improper valve timing.
• Oil seep or coolant leak from timing cover or water pump area.
• High mileage or unknown service record on older belt-driven engines.

What’s Included in Our Timing Service

• Main components: timing belt/chain, tensioners, idlers, guides, and phasers (if equipped).
• Seals & reseal: crank/cam seals and front cover reseal using OEM RTV or sealant.
• Water pump: replaced when timing-driven or worn.
• Hardware & fluids: one-time-use bolts, new coolant, and fresh engine oil.
• Verification: live data check, relearns, and post-service scan report.

Our Mitsubishi Timing Service Process

• 1) VIN confirmation: verify belt or chain configuration and correct kit.
• 2) Diagnostics: live data, cam/crank sync, oil pressure, and AVCS function checks.
• 3) Precision disassembly: inspect guides, seals, phasers, and pumps.
• 4) Installation: align timing using factory marks and torque-angle procedures.
• 5) Fluids & testing: refill, bleed, relearn idle trims, and perform final road test.
