As you see on my site the car has no engine in it. (at least its not on jaskstands hahah)

Well i have pics as I go but i'll explain till i get them posted.

Problem 1.
Balanceshaft eliminator kit was installed, it didnt turn into a problem until the dang freeze plug came up missing.
Where can i get another one or can i buy it from a local store? :thumbdown

Problem #2.
The frikkin Woodrif key (sp) is missing. If my memory serves me correctly thats the thing that fits on the outside of the crank shaft, correct me if i'm wrong. :cry:

problem #3
Mechanic says I need a RTV (whatever the hell that is) :confused:

Problem #4
On top of all that the 14b is fubar so I want to get its internals swapped to a 16g (where can i get it done) and i need a 2g exhaust manifold, mine is cracked. :barf:

I havent really started to dislike this car yet. But dang its alot to it.

RTV is a sealant used to make gaskets. I guess that's what he means...?

You're probably better off just buying a new 16G. I'd be willing to bet that your housing is cracked or will be cracked soon. 2G exhaust manifolds are easy to come by. And fairly cheap too! http://www.slowboyracing.com/Exhaust/Exhaust manifolds/2g exhaust manifold/2g.html

Yes. That is what the key is. Inside the crank shaft snub and slide the crank pulley over it. Also available from Mitsubishi.
