Lash Adjusters / Hydraulic Lifters LOW PRICE

[luisigor]

Guys I think I found 3rd Gen tappets at a very cheap price (Just 4.95 USD for each). I just need that one of you PROS confirm if they fit the 6a13 and 6a13tt engine. Its an US website, maybe that is the reason why our engines are not listed.

Here is the list.

4G37 8-valve 1.8 OHC (89-94)
G63B 8-valve 2.0 OHC (85-89)
4G63 8-valve 2.0 OHC (89-92)
4G63 16-valve 2.0 OHC (1993)
4G64 8-valve 2.4 OHC (90-95)
4G64 16-valve 2.4 OHC (92-02)
6G72 12-valve 3.0 OHC V-6
6G72 24-valve 3.0 OHC V-6
6G73 24-valve 2.5 OHC V-6
6G74 24-valve 3.5 OHC V-6
G4CS 8-valve 2.4 OHC Hyundai
G6AT 12-valve 3.0 OHC Hyundai

The 6A13 and 6A13TT use different lashers.

I think that the ones listed there are not the right ones for the 6A13TT, but I can't remember. If I can find the info I used for the group buy a while ago, I'll post it up.

Certainly, the Evo ones are not right for the VR4.

[MarkSanne]

Over double the price compared to the ones you mentioned, but these are the correct ones (and I received them just over a week ago, ready to get installed!):

[Davezj]

they are standard one arn't they not the ones with the extra large oil way 3mm in stead of 1 mm on the original.

is this info still correct or did the 3mm oil mod turn out to be wrong?

[luisigor]

If we find them in the U.S. I am almost sure they will be a lot less expensive. The ones at camskill cost 4 times more. We need to find a U.S. Mitsubishi engine that uses the same lash adjusters as our 6a13 and 6a13tt engines. Can somebody confirm that with CAPS?

[Nick Mann]

I can try and confirm it if you can give me a chassis number fo the car you want to compare it to.

[MarkSanne]

The camskill are the uprated 3mm versions!

[luisigor]

The camskill are the uprated 3mm versions!


The ones on the US site are also 3mm (3rd Gen)

[peter thomson]

The ones you have listed don't fit our engine .From looking at caps the chassis codes that would be useful that should have the same ones are F36A, F31A, F41A, F45A, K99W, V65W, V75W, S32A, N86W, N96W. Dependant on what engine is fitted . Most seem to be a 3 litre engine.

[luisigor]

I did some research on the chassis codes you listed. The F36A, F31A are for Mitsubishi Diamante that have the 6G73, 2.5L, QUAD CAM, V6, 24 Valve engine. The Diamante used this engine from 1990–2002 also the US SPEC Galant used it from 1992-1996.

The 6G73 engine is listed, and if the list from the US site is correct, the lifters should fir our engines. Can somebody confirm this?

[swinks]

Don't think so. The 6G73 and 6G72 are not compatibile engines to ours 6A13. Different head, and so on.

[Nick Mann]

Those are certainly not the right ones for a VR4, 6A13TT. I can't say for sure if they are right for the 6A13.

There are three common types of Mitsubishi lifters. The 6A13TT uses one type, the 6A13 uses a different type.

There is a good list of what each type fits here:
http://www.kempys.co.nz/lifters.htm
But the 6A13 SOHC is not listed.

DON'T BUY THE 6A13 DOHC LIFTERS FOR A NON-TURBO'D 6A13!!

[peter thomson]

I used the part number MD377239 when searching caps and the chassis codes I listed were associated with this number for engines from 2001 to 2003 for the VR4. I didn't check the part number for the earlier engines but just checked this one which came up against the codes I listed

[Nick Mann]

That is the right part number for the VR4. Of all ages. The 6A13TT.

But it isn't the right part number for the 6A13.

luisigor, could you tell us which version of the 6A13 you want them for? To clear up my poor troubled mind? Your first post says to fit both engines, but they take different parts.

[Davezj]

The camskill are the uprated 3mm versions!

it doesn't seem to say they have bigger oil way in them, it says they are cheaper alturnative to OE mitsubishi parts, so anyone buying them will be expecting 1mm oil ways.

if they are 3mm oil ways then that is bad advertising, even if they are supposed to be better.

are you sure the ones you got have a 3 mm diameter oil hole.

Its for the 6a13 SOHC. I have a 1998 Galant v6-24. I thought it used the same lifters the VR4 uses. I need to know which ones fit my car. I would be great if the ones in the us site worked. They are 3mm and cheaper.

I sure do (specifically asked them by email and got it confirmed). See for yourself in the picture:

[luisigor]

I searched in CAPS for the Part Numbers of the Lash Adjusters the Legnum 2.5 V6 2WD uses. (I suppose its the 6a13 non turbo) The number are: MD151382 and MD377560. Then I searched in a US version CAPS, the Part Numbers for the Lash Adjusters in the Diamante 3.5 V6 (6G74). For my surprise, they have the SAME PART NUMBERS.

Since the 6a13 and 6a13tt engines are pretty alike I thought they would use the same part, but I was wrong.

I am really sorry that VR4 owners wont be able to benefit from this. But at least 2.5 V6 non turbo owners have a very good (3mm oil ports) and cheap (only USD$4.95 for each) alternative when it comes to permanently finishing the TICK TICK TICK.

Thanks for your support!

P.S. If there is a member that can post this someplace where everybody can see it, I think many 6a13 non turbo owners will be very grateful. Thanks Again!

[Nick Mann]

Good find, and well done on proving the part number.

The great thing about search, is that if anyone searches this site for V6 lash adjusters, they will get all you helpful info!

[Davezj]

I sure do (specifically asked them by email and got it confirmed). See for yourself in the picture:

that's great i might have some at some point as mine are ticking there t*ts off at the moment.

going to a flush and get some amsoil in there. to see what happens.

EDIT:-just out of interest do they have an exit hole and what size is that. i am not sure which hole is supposed to be bigger.

[MarkSanne]

The exit hole is on the side of them, you can just see part of the exit hole on my picture. It's about 1mm. If it is that exit hole that needs the be the uprated size... then... I'm not a happy chap.

I measured the little exit hole on the side. I's 1.6mm. What do we make of that... I dunno, I guess change 'm all over and see what happens.

i have not seen any of the uprated lash adjuster so this is theory, but i would expect the following case would apply.

flow rate can be determin by cross sectional area and viscocity and pressure. well it doesn't really matter what it is deternimd by only an example. if you keep the other 2 constant and adjust the cross sectional area you adjust the flow rate.
Imagine a funnel you can fill it from the top very quicky but it will only empties at the rate of the hole at the bottom. so flow rate is determind by the smallest opening.

this is all just theory. so i hope someone who has got uprated lash adjusters can tell us the full story, are both holes open up or is just the one hole and if so can you shed some light on why this makes a difference.
Thanks dave

[Davezj]

Just taken mine out and they have a 3mm hole in the top niple and 1mm ish on the side and at least on of them is still ticking it's t*ts off.

I think i may need to replace this one.

[Beastlee]

I've just replaced the Mitsi stuff with Amsoil TSO and Amsoil filter but mine taps more than it did before. It was so bad yesterday I had to double check the oil hadn't dropped out the bottom!
When it's settled down it's quiter when driving.

[psbarham]

i know this sounds daft, and someone has probably already done this, but i really can't be arsed to look :p but has anyone checked their oil pressure? if this is low (worn pump or main bearings) then the adjusters won't get full pressure and will tick like a swiss clock shop on acid

[Davezj]

i have just fitted a sandwich plate with a temp and pressure sensor. i just have to wire it up now. Just got some scrap cable from work to do the job. prob next weekend.

I will let you know.
