Hello,I bought a 98 Eclipse manual non turbo, about two years ago. My wife drove it while I was out of town working and forgot to have fluids checked regularly. I now have an engine knock and the car has been sitting for about 6months now. I drained the oil there is no metal shavings or...

I’m currently in the process of pulling my 420a so I can rebuild it but I’ve never pulled an engine before and was wondering if I can disconnect the transmission from the engine while in park before pulling it and just leave the transmission in the engine bay.

Here is my video build series of my 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST. I am rebuilding the stock 4G63 turbo engine. This car had 198K miles on it when it locked up. I think it was starved of oil and was slamming gears and reving high. I was raving engine when all of a sudden the motor just stopped...

Can anyone tell me where these 2 shorter bolts go in the mid case of the w5m33? I guess when I tore it apart I didn't pay enough attention to where these 2 went. I've tried looking at obvious places they would fit but they seem too short for everywhere and I can't find a diagram or post about...

Looking for recommendations on rebuilding/fixing my trans.So my 93 trans has been having issues grinding into 2nd and 3rd and decided to pull it apart to check it out.It was "rebuilt" about 10 years ago by a local shop. Previous owner drove it for maybe 800 miles and then parked it due to...

Eligah here, new to the DSM forumI recently got a 1998 eclipse RS from my befriends dad, it has been sitting since 2005. The only thing he told me about the car is that the car was running one day and it just gave out on him. Late last year I brought it to the shop I intern at and got the...

Im currently rebuilding my 420a motor from the bottom up (I have to replace main bearings and possibly resurface the crank) Im about to pull the timing belt off but there's 2 problems 1- i cant get the stupid timing cover off without breaking it and 2 - I really just need tips for timing the...

So im taking apart my engine and my valves on exhaust side are white as snow, while there is a pungent smell of gas in crank part of the block. I know its probably bad rings but could there be any other problems?

So I did an oil change not to long ago, and welp it looks like this. It 100% looks worse on camera. But I’m not sure if this is an upcoming death.This was about a month ago and it still keeps me awake at night lol. Since then I have driven the car extremely hard and beat on it pretty well...

I know this has been talked about ad-nauseam, but it's been years, and most of the links don't work anymore... Does anyone know where I can find a full rebuild kit for my engine? I kinda wanna keep numbers matching if possible because the car is bone stock.. I might put some beefier internals in...

Ok so after 2 years of learning what to do and what not to do on rebuilding a 2g to stock specs I’m at a stupid problem I’m hoping someone can help me with.Long story short, it’s a standard size stock rebuild 1996 Gst. Everything went together fine. Cranks good. Doesn’t leak anything I put in...

I’m looking for a cost effective valve kit package and I found this on eBay… can anyone confit that these will in fact fit a 6 bolt head? The Hyundai part threw me off a bit.

Hi there! So there’s this STOCK and decent condition gsx with a 2gb body upgrade for sale for a good price around me.But here’s the catch, after running a car fax the miles were potentially rolled back. I’m assuming it is because all of the miles line up until the owner previous of this guy...

Anyone familiar with any machine shops in the Del-Mar-Va area that have experience with machine work on 4g63s? Rebuilding my 6bolt out of one of my Galants and i'd like to have some recommendations for some places that could level black/head/etc.

As everyone here knows I recently rebuilt the manual trans on my '92 Talon TSi AWD. It was actually a '94 AWD trans as the dealer swapped it out back then due to some issues I vaguely recall with shifting into 2nd or 3rd. I rebuilt it because it kept popping out of 1st and was sometimes grinding...

I have a few questions regarding shimming my rear differential pinion gear. I am currently rebuilding a 4 bolt rear diff and I have .015” backlash. Looking for maybe some reference on how much shim to add to the pinion.Also curios if this is a safe website to order a shim pack from...

As many here know I've been restoring my sub-78k miles manual trans '92 Talon TSi AWD for some time now, and it's finally time to fix the trans, the main issue being its popping out of 1st gear most of the time. I replaced the clutch last year, with a SBC Stage 2 DD kit, with the intention of...

Hello, with transmission parts becoming less and less available I am looking at getting my 99 awd transmission rebuilt. I got a quote from jacks transmission for just a standard stock rebuild (which I think is about all you can get anywhere at this point, short of a dogbox) and they also offered...

I'm doing a number of rebuild items and realized that Mitsu part numbers show up with other part numbers stamped right on them.For example, the rear differential side bearings ordered from Mitsubishi as MN168441 currently at ~$40 comes in a box with the Mitsu part number, but stamped NSK...

I am rebuilding a 1991 4g63t and when i took the head of i saw that the pistons had valve marks and i believe the timing belt snapped when the previous owner had the car which lead to the valves hitting the pistons and cause the marks, is it ok to use these pistons with new piston rings or...

Hey Everyone, Long time no see! I havn't touched my poor 97 Talon TSi in 3 years and i finally got the cash to rebuild my head so I'm seeking some advice after I've read through a couple of the forums here.Background Story: A few years ago my valves smacked my pistons so i had the head...

Hi, I'm fairly new here so I hope this isn't inappropriate or too long, but I'm about to order a bunch of parts for my '92 Talon TSi AWD manual (build date May 1992), with around 79k miles on it (yes you read that right), and wanted to make sure they're right for the job. If anyone cares to...

The how I got here part -Alright so about 6 weeks ago, cruising along at 75 mph, in a hard rain. (And just a few days since I last checked my oil) Cruise Control on. Engine oil dumby light comes on and seconds later, engine starts to seize. Turns out, ran out of oil, via a leak that still has...

Made a few videos that I posted up on Facebook but I know that information can get lost very quickly. I'm doing an auto swap and wanted to tear it down to make sure everything is clean and has good parts along with doing a few upgrades. First time ever working on an automatic and the information...

So I just removed my throttle body and I noticed this tan sensor was plugged in and I assume it's the FIAV? I also noticed the two coolant hoses are not connected and I assume it has been bypassed?

I am in the middle of rebuilding a 1g TB that I bought used. Not sure of any history of this TB. Anyway, I was about to remove the TB shaft and noticed the shaft seals didn't look like the stock rubber material. Do I have either a metal case or mil spec seals? Please see attached picture.I...

I’ve been on this sight for a while but I never came around to creating an account but since now that I have I have many questions that will help me build the car that’s I fell in love with so many years ago.

HI everyone! Alright so i just wanted a second opinion on these specs that i came up with so far. And everything seems to be okay so far. The motor is just a stock rebuild with .020 pistons, arp headstuds and a balance shaft delete. But heres what I've gotten done so far. -Main journal oil...

Anybody know where I can find a good quality cartridge for a TD04 13G turbocharger off an automatic DSM? I've looked around on the internet but the closest I could find is one for a Volvo, which I have reason to believe will not fit in my car.

Iv gone over a couple post, I’m sure this topic has been talked about a lot. I’m at the end of my journey with this project Iv been on for the last 8 months. I bought the car about 10 months ago from a guy 10 hours away. Driving the car home everything seemed fine till about the last 2 hours. A...
