Mitsubishi 4M40 2.8 Diesel Engine

About this engine

The 2.8 that powered the second-generation Pajero, the Colt and Triton bakkies and the Delica: a cast-iron, single-cam, eight-valve diesel with an inline injection pump, built for torque at low revs and for a long life under load. Turbocharged and intercooled in the Pajero and Colt, naturally aspirated in the Canter trucks — the block and head are the same. The unit photographed has the Mitsubishi three-diamond emblem cast into its cam cover and is marked "4M40" by the yard. Supplied complete with the injection pump and manifolds as removed. Whether this unit is the turbo or the naturally aspirated variant is confirmed with you before dispatch; the figures below are the turbo-intercooled engine's. Sold as a used import, exactly as it came out of the donor vehicle and as photographed. The engine code above is the one marked on this unit; we confirm it against the stamped engine number before dispatch. Compression and leak-down testing is available on request before you commit, and every unit carries a 3-month warranty against internal mechanical failure.
