Hey guys,I'm replacing the valve cover on my eclipse (420a) and I noticed quite a bit of oil residue around the metal half moon on the driver side rear of the head. It had been RTV'd in place by a shop that did some oil leak repairs, but I am redoing some of their work and would like to reseal...
Hey guys,I recently got all the major engine gaskets replaced and now the engine is 98% leak free, but I still have one last nagging issue. The stupid camshaft position sensor was leaking a tiny bit of oil, so I replaced the o ring with a new felpro one. Nope, still leaked. Ok, this time I...
Hello guys,I haven't frequented these forums all that much, but I have gone here for advice on doing my timing belt, fixing my water leaks, and bleeding my brakes.Unfortunately, the car has had a serious oil leak since I bought it. I did some diagnosis and found the head gasket is leaking...
Hello all,I just finished up replacing rear drums, shoes, hardware and both wheel cylinders in my 1998 RS eclipse. I found one of the wheel cylinders was leaking badly, which is why I replaced both. Everything went well, except the bleeding. I've never done bleeding before, but I have done my...
Hey guys,
I've got some pretty bad gouges on the panel that's on the left of where the passenger's feet go. I found a replacement online, and from the pics it looks like the same color, but it comes from a 1996 eclipse GS. My eclipse is a 1998 RS, with a grey and black interior. Is it possible...
Hey guys,
I've been having a very bad oil leak in my 98 eclipse RS (420a). When I checked underneath, I saw most of it coming from what looks like a differential cover? Can I remove it and RTV/put a new gasket in? Will engine oil come pouring out when I remove it? I'm not exactly sure what's...
Hello everyone,
I was wondering about a few things I read in the VFAQ's article on changing the timing belt on a non turbo engine (1998 eclipse RS).At the part when it says "Move crankshaft to 1/2 notch before TDC" after aligning the camshaft timing marks and setting the crankshaft sprocket...
Hello all,
I have a bad water leak that fills up the spare tire well with water. I traced the water down to the gas cap housing area. It is not coming from the taillights or the drain tube. Anyone have a similar water leak? I don't know where to RTV if I can't see where the leak is coming from...
Hello everyone,Does anyone know how to clean out the rear rocker panels on a 1998 eclipse? I see 2 small holes near the jack point, and a rubber plug in the wheel well in front of the tire, but that's about it. Could I just stick some soap and water in there and force the dirt out?I also...
Hello,
I'm trying to get the bumper off my 2g.

Anyone have it saved? Way back machine won't give me the pictures.
If someone could give that to me, it would be greatly appreciated...
