Inspection of the Timing Chain on the Mitsubishi Pajero V20 2.8

Model: Mitsubishi Pajero V20, MK 2 - Years 1991-1999
Part: Timing belt

On the second series Mitsubishi Pajero, known as V20, the 2.8 diesel engine features a timing chain system. Unlike the traditional belt, this system does not require periodic maintenance but rather an inspection. Generally, replacement may not be necessary until after 155,000 miles. However, as you approach this mileage, you should start checking the condition of the chain to ensure it is not stretching. The first symptom of stretching is noise from the chain hitting the guides. To inspect, remove the rocker cover and check the tension of the chain and its tensioner.
