2.3l, 4d55 Mitsubishi Diesel engine parts??
 

1986 Ford Ranger - dandy little truck. getting blow by in 2 cylinders. Hopeing someone may know where to mail order rings, inserts etc. Have had the truck for quite a few years and have rebuilt pretty near everything else. I figure they will be pricey - would like to know where to source. All engine rebuilding shop have no listing and there isn't a Mitsubishi Dealer in our area. Anyone find anything on the net??

Thanks
Frank

if you were closer i'd let you have the block out of my parts truck, for cheep $$$. it blew a cam belt and ruined the head.

That's a great offer tempforce, Thanks anyway. We are supposed to adjust the valves every 15,000 miles, I just found out. So we did and changed the timming belt - what a difference in power and I'm not sure yet but it may have helped the blow by problem. Also there has to be a CDR, according to pnose, that may be plugged causing the crankcase vapours to build up and blow out the dip stick. This is a great tough little truck, once we get all the bugs out it'll be a smooth machine.
Thanks

Oh and Northern Autoparts.com and Autozone.com have most of the parts we're looking for!!

If you still have this head are there any parts that are still good: camshaft, cam caps, injectors, fuel rail, etc.? Please let me know.

Thanks,

sorry i haven't replied. i haven't been on this site for a while.
i scraped the vehicle, and all of the parts, except i do have 3 injectors for the engine. i may have the 4th somewhere but due to having to move everything. i don't know where the 4th one is at. i found a replacement head at a dealership in texas, that was back when i was still thinking of fixing the truck. the bare head was $850 + freight. and for a $200 rig, it wasn't feasible.
sorry for not replying sooner.

no parts
 

sorry, i scraped the truck. i kept the engine for over a year. but had to get rid of it when i moved.

Isn't that engine similar to the one in the little old Ram50?

Identical engine as d50 just externals are different, alt power steering pump etc. They also use a serpentine belt as opposed to a v-belt.

D50 is v ranger is serpentine.

d 50
 

i know where there is a complete d 50 diesel in salem oregon. been sitting for a long time. but parts may be usable.

Is it a 2.3 turbo diesel?

I know of a complete 2.2 engine and trans if you are looking for parts, it is apparently in running order.:-X22

yes it's diesel, my son found it about a year ago. i can check and have him see if it's still there and try for a address for you.
let me know.
also i think i know someone who could use your 2.2 engine.
and i might be interested in the transmission. let me know if it's a 4 or 5 speed. your price and your location for shipping cost.
