Ive lifted the cam trays to re seal em:

Image

Ive expected the front one had leaks in a few spots but hell nearly whole cam tray were leaking!

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Only the top of the cam tray was still holding up quite well:

Image

Ive prepared the head for the new sealant:

Image

Also the cam tray was cleaned and the sealant put on it.

Image

When front done ive moved to the rear head that i thought has no leaks and i only wanted to re do the sealant:

The rear bank was indeed better but had leaks as well:

Image

Image

Image

And both redone!

Image

True beauty from Mitsubishi factor!

That's a fine job done. I would be terrified to undertake that task.

well, i cant say i was not haha, but had some little experience from doing such a job on 1.6 Mivec engines.

It went quite good and easy and i was able to check and re do the exhaust side tappet clearance on the left hand side head, should be quiet as a mouse now!
