Do you happen to know the torque for the front cover

Awesome that helps out a lot! But it doesn't show all the other bolts...

I have the new pump on (not bolted) just wanna figure out where everything goes.

Talking about whole front cover

Okay so I found my box with all my old tensioners,water pump, etc with all the bolts but I still don't where they go... I had them put with what they went with but must have fallen out when I was movin the box around.

Okay I can not find this info anywhere. I'm about to put my oil pump on but I have (5) short bolts with the number 4 on them. I know they go with the oil pump but I feel like there should be more bolts for the extra holes. It's been 5-5 1/2 months since I took the motor apart(machine shop took...

Okay I'll re-measure. And I'm getting a hx35 off my friends cummins for free! Lol

Okay so just run with the rings or what? No one really answered my question haha

Well they're ITM pistons, basically oversize oem pistons, if I'm correct. I read ITM made the piston for mitsu so they're basically oem? And all stock internals yes.

So for it to be bored/hone .020" over, deck to clean,jet wash, put piston on rods, and order new pistons it was 574.85

It had a pretty good ridge at the top of the cylinder, and the machinist said it'd be best but that was the machinist who lied to me about prices and shit then the shop fired him and then I call to pick it up a week later and they tell me he's no longer there and the real prices of the work...

It's a 6 bolt. It's just a stock rebuild so I can drive it honestly. Down the line it'll have dsmlink and hx35 with supporting mods but not for awhile. And I put the rings in the bore one at a time and pushed them down with the piston so they're flat and square in the bore and used a feeler...

I have references for the specs on ring gap but since they're to big what do I do? New rings or? It's all brand new itm piston and rings. I do have another set of pistons with rings maybe I'll give those a shot

Alright, so I finally got my block back had it bored .020" over. I was measuring ring ago last night and it's big but not past the service limit .031". My question is can I get by with it or what should I do? Here's what I got. I'll double check the measurements later if need be.Ring gap...

One word.... WOW. This is an awesome build! I wish I knew about those aero kits when he was selling them, i love the look and functionality of them. I keep checking to see if you added anymore updates, to anxious to see the finished product. Keep up the awesome work man!:applause:

Soo, how'd it turn out mate?

Well thanks for all the Input guys! Sorry I've been awhile for the site for a bit. But like I sai it's a stock rebuild, I'm gunna get on it fool around but I'm not gunna be slapping a huge turbo, fuel upgrades and tuning it for 30 psi. Just some to cruise around in till I can later tear the...

Yeah I wasn't gunna redline maybe 4-5k then let it pull vacuum, then do that again in the next gear. what kind of oil did you use for break?

just about to put my motor together but im looking in to break in methods now. I read motosmans method but I just want a clearer understanding. So basically im to let it idle to op temp for 20 minutes, change oil, go drive for 20 miles with pulls in 2,3,4 gear allowing it to pull full vacuum...

I just bought a full gasket set, water pump w/ timing kit, oil pump from them, seem like a good company, I've heard a lot of good stuff about them. Once I get my block back this week it'll be all put on and I'll report back, to let you know.

Im from Alaska and since we don't have emissions, it doesn't matter about how you run it but I believe we are suppose to have a cat, if found without one cause cause a hefty ticket. All my life I've driven trucks with hollowed out cats and the police never blinked an eye at me. Just drive...

So it's not exactly done right but it still works basically?

Would this cause a problem if I sent it out to ecmlink?

Awesome, thank you for your help! Really eased my mind about it.

Here are some photos, I circled two post that looked out of the ordinary from the others.

Thank you eagletalontim, I will check that right now. do you have any idea why they would put whatever that is on the board though? theres no stickers on the ecu cover saying a shop did it, so im assuming one of the owners or a friend of theres did it.

how would I check? just unscrew it completely and look on the underside of the board?

Well alright then pretty simply answer! Thanks boost97gst

That doesn't sound good haha.. It runs fine, idk if its some cheap computer shop fix or something.

So today I decided to open up my ecu and to my surprise I have an EPROM ecu, pretty happy about that but what is this stuff? It's like hard expoxy the best I can explain it. I attached a picture below thanks in advanced.

I just checked and I have an EPROM ecu, but it's not socketted. But there's this weird grey expoxy like stuff on it? It's hard to the touch.. Any ideas what it is?

I've heard of the GM MAF but never looked into it I should say.

nope I traded my gst for this, and drove it for 3 weeks then tore the engine out and it's being rebuilt, I was going to buy the innovative ls-2 wideband. But I've never heard of the GM MAF? Just speed density and the 2g MAF conversion.

Ive been researching the NEO and SAFC II and ive ready the neo doesn't work with our maf? but safc II does but it cant fine tune like neo can. Also, I read when converting my 1g maf to the 2g maf it'll lean out and I need to put 550cc in to compensate? Never really tuned much, so trying to find...

Well the block is already machined, plus im getting a master gasket set, I just have the option between a graphite or MLS headgasket. Machinist said I should be fine, im going to triple check my head flatness and make sure it doesn't have any scratches, nicks, etc.

Im currently stuck between which type of headgasket to use. im rebuilding my motor and the block is getting the full works done to it (hot tank,decked,bored,magnafluxed, etc) im just unsure of what I should use. I know mls is a stronger option but im only rebuilding the motor to be a dd for...

Is there a way to tell apart a 6 bolt oil pump from a 7 bolt?

So the rebuild I have above would work just fine? I'm just doing stock rebuild because I need a dd and later on I'll rebuild for power when I have the money.And also, will a 7 bolt from a 99 tsi awd fit work? I'm thinking it won't cause the wiring is laid out different in 2nd gens but I could...

Alright, I have a 1991 Eclipse GSX. I'm going to rebuild the engine, but other matters have come up and I can't do my planned build up for power so I need to find a rebuild kit that's cheap just to get the at driving again, I've found this Evergreen OK5007L/0/0/0 Eagle 4G63T Turbo Engine...

Sorry to bring up such an old post but will this rebuild kit work with a 6 bolt?

Ah alright I kind of figured since they're different sizes. Thought I'd still ask. Thanks guys.

So I received my car with an unopened box of ARP headstuds (still have the factory plastic wrap around the box) I planned on selling them because I didn't need them but I pulled my engine and I wanna use them now. But I opened the box and the studs aren't the same as which came out of the...

Well bad news for me is I tore it apart already, everything is heavily covered with carbon and the valves are disgusting. The previous owner said he did a valve seal job, more than likely didnt do it correct. Cause he failed to put coolant in and put tap water which rusted the entire cooling...

Well readings from cylinder 4-1: 105,85,95,100. I plan on doing the bse anyways but I'm assuing it's just a worn out engine. Previous owner did some sketch stuff so I wouldn't doubt it wasn't cared for. I just figured since I had low oil pressure it would starve the top end slightly, reducing...

Well I could tell my car was missing and I did a compression test and they were awfully low, my car started making a god awful sound maybe 5 days before that but it's always had semi low oil pressure. So I finally got the time to pull the engine out, took no more than a hour, and I dropped the...

Stock compression from factory as in, the perfect compression is 168, that being said the lowest(out of spec) is 114, your numbers are more than perfect so the 1st & 2nd rings are not an issue. check valve stem guides, make sure your oil ring on the piston is correct too, if installed backwards...

Yes it does and I had another dsmer tell me that a TD04 will more than likely be a 13g, but "some JDM Galant and RVR engines came equipped with a 13T which is *slightly* bigger (and I can't emphasize "slightly" enough), but these 13T covers were all stamped TD04HL to my knowledge." Quote from...

Thanks, I'll do that now.

Seems like they removed the airfilter and routed some sort of tubing somewhere for the "cold air intake"

So I recently acquired a 1991 Eclipse GSX, though I was more excited to be getting a 1st gen, I skipped the little things to check and now I'm in the process of pulling the motor out and rebuilding it. Anyways back on point, I know manual eclipses came with the tdo5 but mine has a tdo4, I know...
