Engine parts and names

[badgoose]

So I'm a noob. Would someone be willing to list the parts in the gsx engine? Cause I want to learn how to rebuild one. Again I'm a noob?

We were in the same boat. Used to working on Chevy til my husband wanted a 99 gst. The best thing we found that's been pretty handy for pictures and specs is a Haynes manual. It's very descriptive and easy to follow. Goes through an entire motor rebuild and talks about problems to look for while you're inside. I'd strongly recommend getting one. Think we got ours off ebay for about $20

You want a list of all the parts in an engine? Just go to any DSM parts site and go under the engine tab.

Haynes manual is ok but if you can pick up a factory service manual. A lot more info then any other manual.

Guess I'll look for one of those too. The more we dig into the car, the more info we need.

I just searched for it and found them on there. Thanks for the tip!

Would the factory service manua also have the engine rebuild in it as well?

Will do, thanks.
How would I be able to tell what added horsepower each aftermarket part would be while looking for new parts?

The factory service manual is year specific and well give you info on every thing

There is no set standard for HP gains and swapping parts, all depends on the tune and overall motor condition.
Here is a path to follow when upgrading, and it gives estimates to what power you would expect to gain from each modification.

IMHO don't waste your money or time with a Haynes or Chiltons manual. There's far too many things they don't cover, and/or are incorrect in them, as well as grouping many models/years together which is not correct (there's differences). They're ok for general maintenance but beyond that, especially rebuilds, they're nearly worthless. Stay with the Mitsubishi manual (eg. DSM Backup Service manual).

Here's some good Mitsu overhaul manuals:
