I have a feeling my car is starting to walk. I hear a loud ticking noise under the valve cover. Also the pressure on my clutch pedal changes every so often. It also gets sort of stuck sometimes and i need to pull it out using my foot. So i want to get a more reliable motor and i figure if i start now i will be prepared for the worst. I hear the 6 bolt swap is what is best. I did a search but i couldnt find much. Could someone point me in the right direction to learn basic knowledge of this swap. I would like to know where i can get the motor, how much it will be, and what all i need to do to make it fit. Thanks a lot for your time guys.
 
If you searched you would have found a shitload of info on it.

i cant do a search for "6 bolt swap" because of the stupid search rules where you need 3 letters. Could someone point me to the right thread.
 
Does anyone know where i can get the motor. My ticking is louder then hell. I can hear it over my 3 inch turbo back exhaust. I have a feeling my motor is going to take a crap on me any day now.

I am no expert but shouldnt you stop running it to save your rods and pistons etc.?
 
as kr.k says, you def.. def.. definitaly should NOT be driving your car unless you want to be stranded..
My crank walked, and I got a new short block from Mitsubishi dealer.. it's a pain in the ass, so I feel for ya.. I've been through the same thing.. the clutch thing feeling soggy, and not coming back up is all tell tell signs.. good luck dude
 
Ok here comes more serious questions
1. if i drive my car till it breaks is anything serious going to break that i will need to use on the 6 bolt swap
2. I found a local place that sells engines. If i buy the 6 bolt engine is this all im giong to need? Or will i need to buy the install kit that magnus sells?
3. I also found a NT talon 6 bolt. Is this the same engine as the turbo model just without the turbo? Would this work? All that is wrong with the talon is that it has a bad tranny and its only 600 bucks for the hole car. What else would i need to get?

Thanks a lot for your time guys. I greatly appreciate it
