First, let me give you some information about the car. It has been down for approx. 8 months. I had a 6 bolt motor in it when it last ran, but, have since went back to a stock 7 bolt. The motor was known to be good and running. Anyways, I'm using the stock ecu w/ stock injectors, etc...

I have a non-ball bearing Mitsubishi SCM61 that recently went bad on me. (burning oil at idle, acceleration, etc...) It ran fine on a bone stock 7 bolt for 5k miles. When I put it on my car with balance shaft removed and 6 bolt motor, it lasted for about 3k miles more and then I started...

I have recently rebuilt my motor, block and head. Head has crower springs retainers, and si 1mm oversized valves, new stem seals, etc... Anyways, since I've had it back, I've been noticing oil on the head right above the exhaust manifold and what looks to be soaked into the manifold. When I...

I am doing the 6 bolt swap in my 2g and tried putting my stock 7 bolt's oil filter housing on it but the bolts didn't line up. At our local pick-n-pull junkyard they have many 1g's but they are mainly n/t. Will an oil cooler and oil filter housing off a 6 bolt nt work on a 6 bolt that's turbo...

Well, I've been doing a 6 bolt install on my 2g and when I sold the old 7 bolt, I sold it as a short block so I don't have any of the bolts. I was wondering what size bolt and thread pitch I need to install the Water pump, front case, and cam angle sensor. I've searched for the last 20 minutes...

Background: About 3 weeks ago I was running a lotus elise and after the run I was noticing white smoke coming out the hood and exhaust. I pull over and get the car towed to my house. Do a compression test on it and all the cylinders are fine. We figure it's a headgasket so we take the head off...
