hello everyone. Just acquired a 1989 pajero recently imported from Japan and I am loving it. I have read several threads and it seems everyone loves their first generation pajero. Just one question, I found a manual for the 4d56t engine but I do not see a maintenance interval for the timing belts. Just wondering how long to go before changing them?

Timing belt
Gday mate welcome! 80,000kms usually. Probably safe for 100,000kms though. I have recently renewed my belts,seals waterpump etc at 200,000kms, the balance shaft belt was so brittle that it fell apart in my hand basically. If oil has been leaking inside the timing belt cover it may have caused premature wear and tear. It's quite easy to remove the top timing belt cover front the motor and check the condition of the belt, 5 or so bolts hold it on (removed in pic below). I would check it and if it has signs of aging, then update as needed - better safe than sorry right!-jero- 1990 SWB NG TDi import, 33'' BFG KM2 muddies on 15x8 'sunnies', steel winch bar, custom rock sliders, Steel roof rack, Domin8r 12,000lb winch, 2.5" straight through exhaust, Allisport TM intercooler, Boost Tee, EGR delete, 22' LED bar, GME UHF + GME antenna, high gain fm/am antenna, duel batteries, 2in lift - Lovells springs and Gabriel shocks/struts + tough dog torsion bars, snorkel, catch can, diff breathers, VDO boost, oil pressure & EGT gauges, fusion speakers, more to come...

No worries. I had done timing belts before also but had numerous bumps in the road getting it finished. Took me a few weeks maybe like 2 10hr days equivalent. I did the seals water pump tappets had the injectors rebuilt all while i had access to another vehicle. If you need any help PM me. I got the kit from repco and it worked out alright. Cheers
Edit - just noticed you are in the US, hence no repco. Make sure before you buy the belt kit that you count the balance belt teeth. Good luck.-jero- 1990 SWB NG TDi import, 33'' BFG KM2 muddies on 15x8 'sunnies', steel winch bar, custom rock sliders, Steel roof rack, Domin8r 12,000lb winch, 2.5" straight through exhaust, Allisport TM intercooler, Boost Tee, EGR delete, 22' LED bar, GME UHF + GME antenna, high gain fm/am antenna, duel batteries, 2in lift - Lovells springs and Gabriel shocks/struts + tough dog torsion bars, snorkel, catch can, diff breathers, VDO boost, oil pressure & EGT gauges, fusion speakers, more to come...

Tooth count
Hey mate, look I cant remember how many teeth the other one had, from memory mine was 83 also. When I bought the water pump/seal/belt kit he specifically asked me how many teeth my balance belt had. So I took it in with me next time to make sure I got the right one. Either way mate, just double check before you get too deep into the job. Afaik you can do the belts with radiator still in tho if you're doing seals and pump, its gotta come out.

Hi mate,
I have no idea what the kit number was? Sorry. It was a dayco timing belt kit from repco and a generic water pump!
