My Minor Rebuild...!!!!

[BLINKY619]

Ok to start off i had just gotten a rebuilt motor. now along the way, my car kept skipping timing.... Would so it around 3 times a week...... Now i had taken it to 3 different dealers so they could tighten up my timing belt, well they would promise me it wouldnt do it again.. but it skipped 2 times with them.... so i bought every timing components brand new from the mitsubishi dealer and even bothered to buy 3 different hydraulic tensioners.... but it kept skipping.... so now the skipping belt was fixed but did enough damage to make my car not idle right...!! so after a few tests here and there i narrowed it down, coming to all the intake valves being bent. and my seals went out after a boost leak... so i went on and installed new intake valves with fresh valve stems and a good resurface...!!! i got the block and teared it down to pieces and started cleaning everything..... and when i took the pistons out i noticed that the ring lands stayed intact. when i took the crank out i noticed that it had scratches on the surface of all rod bearings.... so i went on and took it to get polished, after that i installed brand new clevite71 rod bearings.... along with a new piston ring set from the mitsubishi dealer.... also got the oem mitsubishi metal head gasket and every gasket i needed to use

So here i am sharing it with felow members here in dsmtuners....


So far ive installed the oil pan, oil return line, intakemanifold, timing belt, alternator, starter, head, reused my arp head studs

Keep up the good work. I'm in the middle of my complete rebuild and I don't envy you doing it in the car. I'm doing mine on the engine stand and work bench and it's got it's moments when even then i get a sore back leaning over.

Let us know how it goes as you get it back together.

I like how you just casually drop in that you did the timing up. Nothing scares me more then that f'in timing belt, gj! Engine block looks real sexy too.

looks good, but you really need a powder coated VC to go with the nice block and head.

good luck.

I believe its about time that I get to my hg. Over heating during load and boost.
Im a little nervous about the whole timing area and making sure I get it machined correctly. Did you follow any guide or tutorial?
