Mitsubishi 4G18 Cylinder Head Assembly – Lancer / Space Star / Pajero IO / Proton Waja / BYD F3
This Mitsubishi 4G18 cylinder head assembly is a brand new, factory-fresh replacement for the 1.6-litre SOHC petrol engine used across the Lancer, Space Star, Pajero IO and Proton Waja ranges, and in Chinese licence-built applications. It is supplied with valves and camshaft fitted according to your confirmed stock configuration — the OEM reference is catalogued as a complete “HEAD ASSY, ENG CYLIND”, but bare castings are also sold under the same reference family, so confirm your stock physically before ordering.
What’s Included – Fitted to the Head (Confirmed Configuration Only)
- Complete aluminium cylinder head casting — pressure-tested and flatness-checked
- 16 valves — intake and exhaust, heat-resistant (4 per cylinder) — if your stock is a complete assembly; bare castings do not include valves
- Valve springs, spring seats and retainers — if valves are fitted
- Valve stem seals and valve guides — fitted
- Camshaft — SOHC, 16-valve profile — only if your stock is a complete assembly; bare castings do not include the camshaft
- Hydraulic lifters / lash adjusters — pre-installed — if camshaft is fitted
- Camshaft bearing caps — torqued to specification
- Core plugs and oil gallery plugs — installed
What you transfer from your original head: camshaft and bearing caps (if not included in your stock), valve cover, timing belt kit (belt, tensioner and idler), head bolts (always fit new stretch bolts — these are torque-to-yield), head gasket and remaining gaskets, fuel injectors, spark plugs, ignition coils, intake manifold, exhaust manifold and any sensors or brackets mounted to the head. Head bolt torque: tighten in sequence to 74 Nm, fully loosen in reverse order, then 20 Nm followed by two 90° angular stages — confirm against your workshop manual for the specific build year.

The Short Description lists the basic model range. The fitment below is the model and chassis-code level detail needed to confirm the correct casting before ordering. The 4G18 head is shared across Mitsubishi, Proton and Chinese licence-built platforms, but emission equipment and intake manifold design differ between markets — match the OE reference and chassis code to your original head.
