Valve cover gasket replacement
Going to replace the valve cover gasket on the 2001 Montero Limited, along with plugs and wires the weekend. Wondering if anyone had a link to service or repair manual.I have shopped around for the haynes manual but can't seem to find one for the 2001 model. Does anyone know it the manuals for the 1997 Monteroup with the 6g74 engine will work. Thanks in advance for your time and help!

RE: Valve cover gasket replacement
Its very simple. Look all the way around the valve cover and locate the bolts, then simply remove them and lift the valve cover clear. Then change the gasket and begin tightening the bolts again... but be VERY careful. Valve covers are extremely prone to cracking because they are not intended to be tied down tight. I know people that have been very cautious when bolting them back up and they have still cracked them.
Good luck

Can they be accessed directly? I would expect mitsu has the intake manifold in the way so you can't just remove the covers as easily as that.

This will help you get TO the valve cover....and I pm'd link to the book. Now it's the 6G75 I think? But it's close enough for the work you're doing. I've got my 6G74 torn down the decks and so far it's been spot on....EXCEPT for the location of the engine block drain plug. What a friggin' nightmare that was.
