Installation Note: This vehicle is designed with 2 different radio styles. Each radio design requires a completely different method of installation for a new replacement radio. The most important thing to understand is the difference between the plastic dash panel that surrounds the 2 different radio styles. This plastic dash panel actually dictates how you install your new replacement radio. Read below to find out why.

If like me, you forgot to change the timing belt at the last service and it went “ping” while driving to the shops, you may wish to invest in new engine, or at the very least a few new valves, rockers and possibly the cylinder head… If you are sensible and know that it needs changing, then this little guide is for you. Applies to the 1.4 and 1.6 CVH or PTE engine, but can be applied generally to other models too. Pictures and references to Haynes are made in square brackets where appropriate!

Read and understand these instructions BEFORE attempting to install this product. See reference to diagrams on back page.
1. All Tru-Time Cam Gears for Mitsubishi have provisions for the cam angle sensor that is mounted behind the intake cam gear on the 1995 to 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The models starting with the 1997 model year have the cam angle sensor mounted at the rear of the cylinder head.
