We designed the AMS Performance Mitsubishi 4B11 Cam Cap after a number of reports from customers of the OEM piece cracking. This can be a potentially expensive predicament due to the fact the OEM cam cap is not sold separately from the stock 4B11 cylinder head. In the past, customers have found that in order to replace such a piece, the entire cylinder head would need to be purchased from Mitsubishi. AMS now offers this 4B11 cam cap as a perfect solution to replacing the original without having to purchase the entire cylinder head. The billet aluminum cam cap is CNC machined, etched with the AMS logo and designed using SolidWorks CAD software.

Shipments to North America at 2,631 units were 8.0 percent down over the same month last year as the deferment of shipments to Canada until March countered a strong 100 percent increase in shipments to the United States. Exports to Europe at 8,486 units were 149.5 percent up, driven mainly by a recovery in shipments to Russia as well as by a 177.0 percent year-on-year increase in shipments to Spain.
