A new engine assembly.
Your checked accessories.
What you are buying
Brand new replacement long block. Keep your original motor until the workshop has completed the accessory transfer.
A new long block is different from a used motor or a reconditioned core.
Plan the transfer
Fuel pump, intake and exhaust manifolds, and required accessories transfer from your original engine after inspection.
Have your installer identify timing components, seals, fluids, filters and any additional parts required before booking the job.

04 / Installation & support
Plan the job around the whole vehicle.
Diagnose the original fault
Ask your workshop to identify the cause of the old engine failure and address related cooling or lubrication faults.
Inspect before reusing
Check the fuel system, turbocharger and other transferred accessories. Replace unsuitable parts rather than carrying an existing fault into the new installation.
Keep the fitting records
Use professional installation, follow the run-in requirements and keep invoices and service records for future support.

Your engine replacement questions
Which 4D56 Triton applications does this fit?
This listing covers Mitsubishi Triton ME–MJ, 1986–1996, using the older SOHC 8-valve 4D56-T 2.5L diesel engine. Covers the listed 2WD and 4WD diesel applications. Use the model series and engine configuration when matching your replacement.
Is this the older or newer 4D56 engine?
This is the older SOHC 8-valve version. The later common-rail 4D56 is listed separately. The shared 4D56 name does not establish interchangeability.
Is the engine new or reconditioned?
This is a brand new long block. If you are comparing used or reconditioned engines for sale, compare the supplied assembly, installation requirements and written warranty alongside the price.
What parts do I transfer?
Fuel pump, intake and exhaust manifolds, and required accessories transfer from your original engine after inspection. Your installer should confirm the condition and suitability of each part before reuse.
Can I see my individual engine running?
Scan the supplied hot-test QR code to access the running-check video for your individual engine. This is separate from general warehouse or manufacturer videos.
Do I need to send the old motor back?
No core exchange is required. Keep your old engine until the workshop has transferred all the required components.
Will the new engine resolve an overheating problem?
The cause must be diagnosed before fitting. A new long block cannot correct a fault elsewhere in the cooling system or in an accessory being reused.
