Here, in this book, you will discover step by step how to mount a second-hand Mitsubishi engine, and the benefits and drawbacks of doing it yourself rather than sending your car down the garage.

1. Why Put in a Used Mitsubishi Engine Rather Than Buying New?

It’s shiny and new, but come on: the cost—it’s expensive—often even more than the car is worth. The go-to choice is buying a low-mileage used Mitsubishi engine that has been checked out. Mitsubishi Engine Install

1.1 Lower Cost

It might cost you a thousand dollars just to gaze upon a new Mitsubishi engine before you’d even consider putting it in. Our rebuilt engine can provide you with quality and dependability for pennies on the dollar. Mitsubishi Engine Install

1.2 OEM Quality

We give you genuine Mitsubishi engines, not knockoffs. That is, you’re receiving the original construction quality that was intended to perform. Mitsubishi Engine Install

1.3 Plug-and-Play Ready

Each engine we sell is cleaned, checked, and treated so your mechanic (you) can simply drop it in with minimal preparation. Mitsubishi Engine Install

1.4 Increased Vehicle Life

The replacement of the engine will prolong the life of your Mitsubishi so you can continue to drive a proven, known vehicle without the expense of buying one new. Mitsubishi Engine Install

💡 Tip: Continental Motors remanufactured Mitsubishi engines are compression-tested, visually inspected, and oil system-checked before shipment—so you know you’re getting a good one. Mitsubishi Engine Install

2. Buying the Perfect Used Mitsubishi Engine

Step 1 and most important to do before installation is to obtain the correct engine.

2.1 Find Your Engine Code

Mitsubishi engines have codes such as 4G63, 4B11, 6G72, 4D56, and so on. The code is most likely marked on your engine block or in your owner’s service manual for your vehicle. Having the same precise code ensures full compatibility. Mitsubishi Engine Install

2.2 Verify the Model Year

Two motors same code but differ by sensor, mounts, or year-to-year wiring variance. We assure your replacement motor is identical to your identical make and vehicle year. Mitsubishi Engine Install

2.3 Check Transmission Compatibility

There are engines that are meant to be on manual transmissions, and others that are meant to be on automatic transmissions. The other will cause monster problems. Mitsubishi Engine Install

2.4 Mileage & Condition

We provide low mileage engines that are checked and free from any visible wear. Continental Motors checks all the used Mitsubishi engines it sells for:

• Compression levels
• Oil pressure
• Seals leak-free
• Smooth rotation

3. DIY vs Mechanic – Which is Best for You?

Replacing an engine is one of the biggest things you can do to a car. Let’s put the two approaches side by side.

💡 Tip: If you can fit engine swaps in, then do it yourself. Otherwise, buying a second-hand Mitsubishi engine from us and having your loyal mechanic fit it for you will yield the best result. Mitsubishi Engine Install

4. DIY Engine Fitting Tools & Equipment

If you decide to replace your Mitsubishi engine yourself, you’ll need:

• Engine hoist/crane (min 1-ton capacity)
• Jack & jack stands
• Full socket & wrench set
• Torque wrench (for accurate bolt tightening)
• Breaker bar (for stuck bolts)
• Pry bars
• Drip pans (for liquids)
• Service manual for your model
• Masking tape & marker (for wire/hose identification)
• Work gloves & safety glasses

⚠ Safety Warning: Engine removal is heavy lifting, strange angles, and gross fluids. Always work in pairs and never in a hurry.

5. Step-by-Step: Installing a Second-Hand Mitsubishi Engine Yourself

Following is a general order—steps will be different based on your model.

Step 1: Ready the Workspace

• Pull up onto level ground.
• Disconnect battery.
• Drain engine oil, coolant, and (if needed) transmission fluid.

Step 2: Remove Old Engine

• Disconnect air intake, exhaust manifold, fuel lines, and cooling hoses.
• Pull out wiring harnesses and sensors (record where you pull them out).
• Remove engine mounts and remove transmission.
• Lift out engine.

Step 3: Ready New Replacement Engine

• Examine for damage.
• Replace obviously worn-out components: timing belt/chain, water pump, gaskets, spark plugs.
• Transfer pieces from original engine as necessary.

Step 4: Install the Used Engine

• Lower slowly into position.
• Engine mounts find their position and bolt on.
• Transmission, wires, hoses, and exhaust reattach themselves.
• Fill with new fluids.

Step 5: Test & Set

• Connect battery.
• Crack and let idle.
• Examine for leaks, unusual sounds, or warning lights on dash.
• Road test after achieving normal operating temperature.

6. If You Hire a Mechanic – What to Expect

If you do hire the mechanic:

• We can have your used Mitsubishi engine delivered to their shop directly.
• Installation time is generally 8–15 hours.
• You’ll have labor covered by a warranty (ask your mechanic for specifics).
• You’ll be able to drive off and away knowing the swap was accomplished properly.

7. Cost Breakdown

DIY installation:

• Tools & fluids: $150–$300
• Your time: 1–3 days

Mechanic installation:

• Labor: $500–$1,500 depending on complexity

Total with our motor: still not close to being equivalent to a new one.

8. Avoid These Mistakes

• Buying the wrong engine code – causes lengthy delays.
• Not installing it with new parts – a $20 gasket today can save $500 later.
• Dirty fluids – drain and use new oil, coolant, and transmission fluid every time.
• No torque specs applied – over-tightening ruins bolts, under-tightening leaks.

We cut out the first mistake altogether—we verify engine code, year, and compatibility upon purchasing from us prior to shipping it out.

9. Mitsubishi Engines We Typically Carry Examples Of

We carry on a daily basis:

• 4G63 – Older non-turbo and turbo units.

• 6G72 – V6 punch for Pajero and 3000GT.

• 6B31 – Newer model V6 for Outlander and Pajero.

All thoroughly tested, inspected, and shipped ready to install.

10. Your Used Engine Break-In Instructions
