Is a V33 or V43 gasket kit compatible with a V93 Engine?

Hi,

The V33 and V43 engines are different engine models and may have different specifications and components compared to the V93 engine. This could result in gasket failure. Therefore, it's recommended to use a gasket kit specifically designed for the V93 engine to ensure proper compatibility and performance.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks,
I need to replace the Valve cover Gaskets and the Spark Plug Tube seals, but I cannot find parts specific for V93 to closest I can find is V73 (Mizumo Auto MA-4216904330 Valve Cover Gasket Compatible With/For MITSUBISHI 6G72 6G73 6G74 6G75). I cant seem to be able to confirm if the V73 are Compatible, (my Engine 6G72 V93) specifically the Spark Plug Tube Seals, as these really need replacing.
Any advice would be welcome.

Hi,

I'm not sure where you are located, but I looked through multiple Mitsubishi 3.0L V6 engine valve cover gasket kits and they do all look the same. The Pajero isn't offered in the US, so that is why I'm struggling, and I can't find anything that specifically identifies a V93 engine.

Take a look at the pic I attached below and let me know if that appears to be the correct design.

Let me know.

Brian, if you can, let me know if that is the correct one. They change one small thing on an engine and rebrand it as something different. LOL

Take care of yourself,
