Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked by Arron Murray on June 25, 2021
12 months ago, I bought a 1999 Mitsubishi Delica with a 4m40 2.8TD engine (diesel).
I bought the vehicle as I am looking at converting it into a campervan and going on a round-the-world adventure starting sometime next year.
I recently acquired a fully stocked workshop/car garage for the next four months to concentrate on the conversion.
I have always done my own repairs and I can confidently say I can do the job, my main reason to ask is wondering is it really worth it?
My main worry would be any issues while on the road. Also, the timing chain as far as I am aware of has never been changed.
Thank you
No, you shouldn't rebuild the engine unless you have a specific reason. 120k miles isn't that much for a modern engine, so there's no reason to spend the effort, time and money to strip it down. Clean the engine so you find and fix any leaks, do a compression check and do any service items that are due or will become due on the trip like timing chains, tensioners, glow plugs, injectors, etc. Replace the belts unless they look really new.
