Jammed moving parts in your Mitsubishi Engine could be due to several factors. Worn cylinders, pistons, or piston rings may be the cause, requiring repair or replacement. Other potential causes include sticking piston rings (check and replace bearing(s) with undersized one(s) if necessary), excessive main bearing clearance (re-tighten), interference between valve and piston (re-time timing gear train or adjust valve sinkage properly), broken valve springs (replace), excessive valve clearance (adjust valve clearance to 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.)), foreign substances in cylinders (repair), or excessive gear backlash (replace gears or idler bushing).
