Cleaning Pajero Sport 4m41 Intake Manifold - EGR Delete? Carbon Build Up? Oven Cleaner burns! ha
I had been delaying this process as its a real pain in the butt to strip the intake manifold off my Mitsubishi 4m41 Pajero Sport, but I have to admit it really wasn't that bad. There were one or two little nuts and bolts that were a real struggle to get out, but overall it wasn't that technically difficult.
The valve clearances on the Mitsubishi 3.2 DID engine is meant to be checked every 30 000km but I highly doubt mine had ever been done. The paint markings on the valve cover bolts looked undisturbed so this is possibly the first time in 193000km that the valves have been set. She starts easier, smoother and quieter. Time will tell if I get better fuel consumption and better performance.
The entire job, including filming took me about 7 hours. Without the filming I think this could be done in about 4-5 hours for a first time, but possibly even quicker once you have done it once or twice.
Just get and it and give it a shot!

Bloody awesome tutorial Richard. You showed & explained every thing, step by step whick allowed a block head like me to complete a valve adjustment & intake/EGR clean & reassemble. Thanks soooo much mate😊
Glad to have you here and glad to be of service! Thanks for supporting the channel and subscribing!
Great camera, lighting and it really makes a difference!
Thanks! I try my best!
Fantastic Richard. That is the best vid out there on these topics. Don't forget to mark your injector removal in your maintenance manual. I think you get 4 removals. I don't think you'll need to do that process again for a long while. Well done and stay safe.
Injector pipes need to be replaced after the 6th removal from my understanding so I’m good. I would hazard a guess and say this is the first time they’ve ever been removed which means this engine will do a million kilos before those pipes need replacement. Haha. Stay safe too 😎
Faite le c'est super important j'ai nettoyé seulement ma vanne egr mon Pajero a gagné en puissance il marche beaucoup mieux prochaine étape sera de tous démonté merci pour votre vidéo 👍
Nice video, thanks!
Thanks! And thanks for subscribing.
Very nice video! Planning to do the same treatment for my Pajero in a couple of weeks. Also gonna change the upper chain guide and the chain tensioner. For the fuel lines, could you release them with a normal spanner or did you use special tools?
Thanks Ferdi. Used normal tools for everything. Nothing fancy or specialist tools. Just take your time and you’ll be fine.
@@RichardBauer_ Thanks!
Hi thanks for good video, I have done manifold clean following your steps, but my pajero cranks but not starting. What would be the problems? Or how to fix it? And as you mentioned, if intake manifold is not fitting for vacuum or pressure, is it affects for starting car? Thanks again!!
Glad it provided you some help. Double check that all your electrical plugs are connected and then ensure to pump the diesel through the filter and lines. You shouldn’t need to bleed the system but it may require you to crank it for a little while to get all the air out the system.
Well done could have spent more time on positioning the valves 2 and 3 also surprised you didn’t change the top timing chain guide and the subsequent need to remove the side tensioner to reset it. Otherwise well done.
I checked the top chain guide and there was no wear on it that made more worry about it. A year later and she is still running like a champ. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Great video thanks. How many k’s was on the engine when you did this? Was this build up with an EGR delete? You might have mentioned these things but my wife was yakking at the time I was watching this. 🙄
Saw you had an egr delete.
Hahaha glad you never got a divorce from not listening. Yea, EGR delete was done by previous owner at unknown mileage. But I highly doubt they ever did any cleaning like I did. It was an unknown hence me doing the exercise to clean it up. In hindsight it wasn’t really necessary but glad I got to it. Thanks for watching and hope you subscribed 💪
@@RichardBauer_ I did !! But I kept the pajero so a win for me 😁 I’ve got 13000 on my 2010, it’s got a full service history but I’m pretty sure the valve clearances haven’t been done properly. I was just wondering at what kms I should do this ? Runs perfectly at the moment. Liked and subscribed and very helpful. Cheers from Nz
Valves and de-coke ?
I think you need to take a look at my Ford Ranger's haha!
You gotta understand... I'm a tinkler... so even if it ain't broke, I am going to fix it! haha. What's the mileage on your Ranger now?
@@RichardBauer_ hahaha! Best kinkd of fixer! Milage is almost at 100 000
You could of mentioned year model in title as there are different designs
I mentioned the model of engine ;) Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@RichardBauer_ there are at least four different version of that engine, never mind I guess you don't understand the point I'm trying to make
Grande video! Where can I find the torque of the bolt? Thanks
You’ll have to Google. No idea what the torque is.
@@RichardBauer_ and last, what gasket i must have before try do this hard job??
That was a bit of worrying start at the end. 😬
haha just needed a bit of cranking to get the fuel pressure to rise.
how was it today? is egr blanking effective to have a clean intake?
Yes, still highly recommended
do you have an oil catch can? or is egr blanking enough?@@RichardBauer_
Please explain the whole EGR block off? Why is it open in the first place and not blocked off by the manufacturer?
It’s needed for emissions but in the process causes more issues. That’s why manufacturers put it there. Basically introduces exhaust gasses into the engine intake. By blocking this off you’re preventing already burned exhaust gasses from going back into the engine.
@@RichardBauer_ jass... I need to check mine. Has 125k on it but has heen to Arnold at Mitshi Care and to Jacques at Mitshi Tech so sure they would have advised but will check.
@@coetzeehome Jacques is pretty good at blanking off the EGR if it goes to him for a service. Nice thing is that even with it being blanked off it doesn’t throw an engine code.
Next time leave the manifold in place and use a product called Compression Stabilizer. Been using it for years to clean intake manies.
That would probably work on manifolds that have less carbon build up but on manifolds that have it really bad… I’m not so sure you’d win with it.
