i just want to know what i should to timing wise. I have rad all about it and it seems very very hard to do this... Should i take it to a shop and have them do it (mistu dealer). Or should i attempt to do it myself?? i need help!
 
??? Are you asking about replacing your timing belt?? Thats all relative to your mechanical ability really.

I paid Larry J Mitsu on SOuth BLVD in CHLT for mine back when I wasn't quite so confident. Val and those guys are very good at what they do over there. Buy your parts from Kerry at the Parts Counter and tell him KENT,BRAD AND TODD from CHLTDSM refered you. should be good for at least a 20-30% discount. :D
 
If you have time and don't have the money I'd say do it yourself.

If you have money and don't have the time I'd say go to the Mitsu dealer.

Cost me almost $800, but my crankshaft and camshaft sensors were broken from when I swapped engines so it should be more around $500 to just get the timing back to normal.

I must have changed the timing belt around 3 or 4 times and I still think I got it wrong. So really if you want your car to run good and don't know how to get the timing right you better take it to the dealer.
