WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • The valve stem seal must not be reused.
  • Do not damage the tappet wall during assembly.
  • Be sure to use a special tool to install the valve stem seal. Poor installation causes oil loss via valve guides.
  • If oil is not applied, the valve stem seal may rise to the surface after it is press fitted.
  1. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the press-fit part and lip part of the new valve stem seal.
  2. Use a special tool to install the valve stem seal, obeying the following procedures.
  3. Special tool valve stem seal installer adjustable (MB992922) is composed of the components shown in the illustration.
    1. Chuck
    2. Sleeve
    3. Rock nut (small)
    4. Outer pipe

    1. The position, in which the end face of the outer pipe is aligned with the outer circumference line of the chuck, is 0 mm of the insertion length. Insert the chuck and the sleeve into the outer pipe to fit the nut as shown in the illustration.
    2. Turn the chuck to adjust the valve stem seal insertion length.
      NOTE: The insertion length can change by 1 mm (0.04 inch) per the chuck turn.

      To easily know how many times the chuck is turned, put the mark at the position shown in the illustration.

    3. Use a vernier caliper to measure the checkpoint (L1) of the insertion length shown in the illustration. Check the insertion length.
      • Inlet side: 16.8 mm (0.66 inch)
      • Exhaust side: 21.4 mm (0.84 inch)
    4. Use the (large) rock nut to fix the sleeve.
