Disadvantages of the Mitsubishi 4G67 engine
The balancer shaft belt breaking is this unit’s most well-known issue.
Belt pieces frequently fall beneath the timing belt, breaking and bending the engine’s valves;
The life of the engine mounts is negatively impacted by vibrations of the balancer shafts; another frequent failure is floating speed caused by dirt on the throttle; and impurities in the lubricant cause both a wedge of balancers and hydraulic lifters.
