The following Overhaul manual applies for Mitsubishi Galant Engine 4G61, 4G63 and 4G64 models. This manual is divided into sections covering discussion on bracket, camshaft and rocker arms (DOHC), flywheel and drive plate, cylinder head and valves, exhaust manifold and water pump, generator and ignition system, intake manifold, sealant, piston and connecting rod, etc. Here is an example of instruction within the manual.

Remove the plug on the cylinder block and insert a Phillips screwdriver [shank diameter 8 mm (.31 in.)] through the hole (Engine with silent shafts). If it can be inserted as deep as 60 mm (2.4 in.) or more, the timing marks are correctly aligned. If the inserted depth is only 20 – 25 mm (.8 – 1.0 in.), turn the oil pump sprocket one turn and realign the timing marks. Then check to ensure that the screwdriver can be inserted 60 mm (2.4 in.) or more. Keep the screwdriver inserted until installation of the timing belt is finished.
