My mitsu rebuild - For those who care.

[WhatsADSM]

Thank god this weekend I was able to finish up on my car. I am
actually really proud becuase I got my parts back from the machine
shop on friday the 4th of april and had the car running on saturday
the 12th.

Here are a TON of pics you guys can just browse:

If you want to know here are the specs:
- All important clearances blueprinted
- Rotational Assembly (even flywheel and crank pulley)Balanced
- Lightened Flywheel
- Balance Shafts Removed
- Clevite =] Bearings... Damn, bad rod bearing got me here in the first place.
- Eagle Rods (come with arp rod bolts)
- .020 Overbore
- Ross Pistons w/ Ross Racing Rings. After all calculations I am at about 8.3:1 - 8.4:1, depending on exactly how much was taken off the head.
- Block Decked .010
- ARP Head Studs
- Mitsu Metal Headgasket
- Regular old 3-angle valve job, on new valves - no not SS =[
- 3g Lifters
- HKS 264/272 Cams
- I just did a mild deburr/[I guess you could say port] on the
exhaust side of head
- New oil pump/water pump, and all the random gaskets, seals, etc...

I now
have about 100 miles on the motor. It is strange, I actually boost creep a little and get maybe 8 psi at 6000 rpm, and the thing GOES! I would bet it could run mid, maybe high, 90 mph traps at about this boost level .... 400 miles more till I can have my wastegate flapper back, and 900 more miles till I can give her hell =]

Looks good.

Lightened flywheel is a little scary though.

3g lifters? never heard of anyone using those.

They're just the new style that Mitsu revised, not as in 3G eclipse lifters.....
