Product Overview: This cylinder head assembly is manufactured for Mitsubishi 4M40 4M40T engines and supplied ready for installation as a direct replacement unit. It is supplied fully assembled with valves, guides and seats installed, so a cracked, warped or valve-damaged original head can be replaced without additional machining work.
Key Features: The casting is CNC-machined to original equipment tolerances to deliver correct deck flatness, valve seat concentricity and accurate port geometry. Valve guides and seats are pre-installed and honed, and combustion chamber volumes are matched cylinder to cylinder for balanced compression and a smooth idle. Machined cam carrier surfaces maintain correct bearing clearance and reliable camshaft support for the DOHC valvetrain. Intake and exhaust manifold flanges are machined flat for reliable gasket sealing and correct manifold alignment.
Vehicle Compatibility: This part is listed for Mitsubishi, covering model families such as L300(BRAZIL), PAJERO SPORT(BRAZIL), NATIVA/PAJ SPORT(G.EXP/MMTH), PAJERO(CHINA), PAJERO/MONTERO(G.EXP) and PAJERO SPORT(BRAZIL/MMTH). Listed production years include 1994-2002, 1990-2006 and 2006-. If a vehicle is not shown in the compatibility list, cross-reference the engine code and original reference number to confirm fitment.
Specifications: Key specifications: engine code 4M40 4M40T; displacement 2.8 L; cylinder configuration Inline-4; material High-Strength Cast Iron; size Standard Size; condition New; warranty 12 Months. Measured characteristics include valve train SOHC 8V. It is supplied in standard size, so no undersize bearings or additional machining are required at assembly.
OEM / Reference Numbers: OEM and cross-reference numbers covered by this listing are ME202621, ME202620, ME193804 and ME201539.
Applications: Uses include head gasket repairs, valve and seat damage repair, engine rebuilds and scheduled fleet maintenance. The assembly suits passenger cars, vans, MPVs, pickups and light commercial vehicles that use the listed engine. Keeping this assembly on the shelf helps workshops cut vehicle downtime on a common repair.
Benefits / Replacement Information: A replacement head recovers lost compression, stops coolant loss caused by cracks, and restores even combustion across all cylinders. The pre-assembled, pre-machined format avoids the labour and uncertainty of welding, skimming and re-seating an original head. The repair stays within original equipment specification, which is important for vehicles that remain in daily commercial service.
Installation or Fitment Notes: Before fitting, confirm the engine code and reference number and inspect the block deck for flatness and the head bolt threads for damage. Where stretch bolts are specified, always fit new head bolts and the correct gasket, and make sure bolt holes are clean and dry. Check piston protrusion and valve-to-piston clearance where applicable, and set cam timing strictly to the manufacturer's marks.
