Valve Stem Seal Identification On
2000-02 Mitsubishi 3.0L VIN H Engines
AERA members have reported a difficulty correctly identifying valve stem seals on 2000-02 Mitsubishi VIN H engines. To properly identify the two different valve stem seals, Mitsubishi has color-coded the seals.
Upon removing the valve seals from the packaging, there may not be any identification sheet with the seals. This leaves the machinist wondering which seal goes on the intake valve and which one on the exhaust valve. To correctly install these seals, the one with charcoal gray identification color goes on the exhaust and the one with the green identification color goes on the intake.
