Well the motor is nearly finished.
So far Ive drilled/tapped the block for oil squirters and drilled the extra coolant passages in the block. I added Evo oil squirters because they seem to be a little lower profile and clear the crank better.
MN143460
Had the block cleaned and checked and drilled to .20 over to match the pistons. A couple quick coats of low gloss black paint finishes the block off. Yes, went with a balance shaft delete kit on this motor. I had the rotating assembly balanced and turned the balance shaft bearings 180degrees to block off the oil passages for the balance shafts and added the Mirage stubby shaft.
MD040597 Front bal shaft bearing
MD103722 Back bal shaft bearing
MD98626 Oil pump shaft "stubby shaft"
The head I had checked, cleaned and decked flat. I installed Comp Cams 101300 which seem to be a great cam for a 2.4 liter and my build and goals (this motor should pull like a beast down low and in the mid range).
For a 2.4 hybrid build you either need adjustable cam gears (expensive) or just call your local mitsubishi dealership and get the gears and timing belt for a '94 DOHC 2.4 Galant.
MD300439 Intake sprocket
MD189399 Exhaust sprocket
MD331076 Timing belt
I went with an Evo exhaust manifold gasket (4 layer steel) and coated it with copper gasket sealant to ensure a great seal.
MR323654
I went with the stock metal intake gasket and again coated it with copper gasket sealant.
MD188995
I went with a Cometic (87mm bore ; .051" thickness) MLS head gasket. Used copper gasket sealant to assure a good seal able to hold lots of boost.
C4235-051
ARP studs torqued to 80 ftlbs keep the head and block joined.
I added a new Topline water pump. I also went with Toplines 1.7 turbo mirage high flow oil pump housing; for the lack of balance shafts on that motor. (dont forget the grey silicone sealant to finish everything off)
