What year would you say it is

Thank you

Only the /26\ can be roughly dated, but given spike bayonet change was '65-'66, and it's pinned, which says it's later production. Small parts seem all serialized, so I'd say it's possibly not for commercial production. I'd hazard a guesstimate, mid late 70's very early 80's. I know, it's a wide range but China won't come up off the info

So it's NOT FFL C&R available

No, that one was Norinco, an early import vs ones imported from somewhere in Europe today. It would be FFL 01 only, no on C&R

Copy That

Oh, BTW My Mitsubishi 3.0L Engine is still burning one (1) qt. of oil about every 1200 miles.

Rings or Value Guides ?

I had a 88 Plymouth Voyager with the 3 liter Mitsubishi in it, smoked like a tar kiln at idle. Those engines
were plagued with defective valve guides. I would rework the heads first and if the problem persisted I
would do the lower end.
