seems a good price to me and 1 year guarantee , thing you will need are inlet gasket , exhaust gasket , new head bolts , head gasket from mitsubishi the other parts I got from milner 4x4 far better price than mity , you may also consider getting a new thermostat and gasket , you will find other bits that need replacing as you take it apart I did , don't expect to do the job in a weekend unless you are lucky that is , I stripped my engine and then ordered the parts that way you find all parts you need in one go .

Ok chaps I have managed to find someone I know who can do the labour on job for £250 which is fine, I just need to supply the parts.

Can you help by listing all the basic parts I need to order for the job as would help massively. If I need anything extra I'll worry about that at the time. Just looking to get a list of essential parts needed.

Thanks in advance again lads.

Definitely a genuine Mitsubishi head gasket.

I would use new head bolts

You will need a rocker cover gasket and RTV sealer to stop it leaking.

New inlet and exhaust manifold gaskets

There must be other bits - others will be along to help.

This is a list of parts that I used when I fitted a new head gasket a couple of years ago.

Head gasket - should be the correct thickness based on piston protrusion. Best to check marking on block once head removed, then obtain appropriate gasket. Source: Mitsubishi (I'd be happy with Victor Reinz also)

Head bolts and washers - Victor Reinz

Inlet and exhaust manifold gaskets - Victor Reinz

Exhaust manifold to turbocharger gasket - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-8-4M40-TURBO-TO-MANIFOLD-GASKET-MITSUBISHI-PAJERO-SHOGUN-1990-TO-2000/371509854839 (It's only the triangular one that you actually need)

Rocker cover gasket and half-moon seals http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BGA-ROCKER-COVER-GASKET-SEAL-WITH-MOONS-SEALSMITSUBISHI-PAJERO-SHOGUN-2-8-4M40-/220969215068

By-pass pipe O-rings: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Orings-MD030763-Thermostat-to-Head-Bypass-2-8TD-4M40-Mitsubishi-Pajero-Delica-/322171973286

Timing chain tensioner gasket. It's the gasket shown in this set: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mitsubishi-DELICA-L400-2-8TD-4M40-Timing-Chain-TENSIONER-Gasket-/222169889040 I can't locate the gasket alone at the moment. But if you can't get one, tell your mechanic not to use silicon sealant instead as it can block the oilway.

Victor Reinz gaskets are available from Ivor Searle Ltd : http://www.ivorsearle.co.uk

Note: The Ebay links are just to show you what you're looking for. I haven't searched for the best price and I don't vouch for the quality of the items shown.

Thanks for that list of required items and for taking the time to send me the links too. I take it the 2.8 in your challenger is just the same lump that is in my pajero pretty much?

I know I must sound like a broken record but if you are tearing the engine down this far you should seriously consider replacing the camchain while you are there. If money is really tight then ok you can do it later but at least give the chain and tensioner a good inspection,mand decide from there.

Good luck with your repairs.

Absolutely agree with this!

I was cash strapped when my head went (although its a 2.5 same rules apply). I could only afford a cheap flee bay head but went with a proper Mitsi gasket. that was 4 or so years ago and still going strong.

Kev I read some where can't remember where but the cam chain on pajeros very rarely need replacing but some one will probably say I am wrong Rolling Eyes

Boomfunk8527 · Posted: Thu Jul 28, 2016 20:21 Post subject:

Thanks for all the replies guys, as for the timing chain etc I couldn't afford to do that at the current time only the head and necessary coolant system repairs if any of that needs done. Really don't want to spend 1000's on the Pajero.

in times gone by I worked on if it's not broken don't fix it , most things can be fixed later when money and time allow . Smile

Haha! Yeah true!

If I had a pot of cash I could spend on getting everything nice and new I would as do love these motors but my main objective is to get the head fixed ans cooling system sweet, once they are done I can then plan future works and do the things bit by bit.

The Mrs isn't happy but hey ho lol!
