She's a great truck... can't wait to drive her again! The injectors got changed in '84 from 24mm to 18mm... If I find an '84 or '85 head I will have to find some 18mm injectors to go with it. Help! Help! Re: 4D55 1983 cylinder head [Re: JennHayes] #806150 04/17/07 10:13 PM Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 1,412 redbull Body Damage is Cool Local dealers and used stuff will likely be scarce for you. Have you tried searching Australia sites or other countries where the Mits diesel was more common? 1991 Mitsubishi Pajero XP TD LWB family hauler.

I heard they fit with no mods.

I was going to make one good engine out of the two but may consider parting them out. What would you be willing to pay for a head. I have a complete ranger which the engines came out of. Anyone need any parts?

Thanks and I appreciate your reply.

I'm sure you don't want to spend that much but at least it is not some used junk. I have bought used 4d56 stuff. Most of it is worn out. Spun bearings, lack of clean oil bad heads etc. If you want I would sell you a Rebuilt head for a 84-85 model with the 18mm injectors complete with a nice cam for $750. i REBUILD THEM MYSELF. Thats ground valves, new stem seals, rebuild injectors. I check them for internal cracks etc. Moderated by  4x4Wire, Macka, Mudraider, off-roader, PHIL_, rxinhed  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
