Hard to pin-point only by the pic, just trace the leak or use a UV dye leak detection kit.Oil leak at any location higher than the head gasket, such as from CAS, cam seals, valve cover gasket, etc etc usually go down to the head gasket edge between the block and the cylinder head, and the oil...
Yes.What I meant in the post from last night is, the video is actually showing the issue.In this moment in the video (the screenshot below), when you touch that terminal with the positive probe (the negative probe was grounded), the multimeter was beeping.
It shouldn't have beeped. The...
Yeah you had a short in battery side of the 20A fusible link. Should double check that you have no conductivity to the ground with the terminals of 20A fusible link. If you see no conductivity on both terminal, you have fixed it.
I watched the whole video now and I think that there is a short in somewhere between battery and that 20A fusible link terminal in the relay box. (Or maybe you wired something improperly.)
In the video, you have a conductivity with the terminal for the 20A fusible link by grounding (The one in...
You are referring to the 20A fusible link that is green arrowed in the pic below, correct?It's because ECU loses the power source if you blow that 20A fusible link. That 20A fusible link supplies the power to ECU through MPI relay.I would check for a short first by tracing the wire from that...
That's Hotwires or knock-off of that. Maybe like 20+ years ago it went kinda popular but as "fashion" rather than "performance". Those spark plug wires may have some sort of builtin capacitor by claiming that you would have stronger spark. That grounding strap is for that. Some people actually...
I see you are saying the pilot diameter is different. I am not sure why different. Maybe OEM vs Reman.
Is the pilot OD is smaller than the ID of bushing on crankshaft?This seems to be yours and according to the manufacturer site, it should fit with a 1998 Turbo FWD.
You were at the beginning of crankwalk for some reason. And that's what you have to fix, not the number of end play. You now got less end play with new bearings because the thrust bearing is not worn yet.Actually many people have done that in the past and found out that it won't solve...
What he repaired is exhaust leak, not boost leak. I don't know how much it was leaking but if the boost controller has been set with the exhaust leak, he may see higher boost after repairing the exhaust leak with the same controller setup. And if his setup was causing boost creep before, then...
Does the billet cover fit well without the sensor black plastic part? If it does, then only the OD is off. You should try that. You can remove only the sensor part easily by removing 4 screws.What about the bolt hole center position? Lined up?Here what I measured mine.
I see, you actually have two covers with and without groove.I can't see very well your pic but your CAS's black connector lip and housing lip doesn't lined up well for some reason or has something like a flash there in green circle? Isn't that disturbing the cover groove to fit in? Actually it...
Perhaps who made that cover used a reman black top or something not genuine as a sample?
I don't know all black top CASs in the world, so I could be wrong. But from my experience, all Mitsubishi black top CASs I had were with a lip and a groove. Those were taken from DSM and JDM cars, and I have...
Yes. 4g64 (2.4) production was like 4g63. So until '92 came with a 6 bolt engine. If you are in north america, maybe it's easier to source one from a hyundai 4g6 engine clone g4cs than mitsubishi 4g64.
Your decision is right that you will inspect visually. From the above facts that you mentioned and apart if this is really at the beginning of crankwalk or not, the only way to completely get rid of your anxiety of crankwalk would be by disassembling and visually/physically inspect.
I don't...
If the end play is within the spec, you can barely recognize it visually, even by eyes directly. So if you can see some movement in the video even tiny, most likely it is occurring. Sorry but yes you would probably need to drop the engine to rebuild. The sooner, the better. Hope the crank...
The HKS VPC allows you to run speed density and the super AFC to adjust AFR. As the engine fires up, it means at least those are still connected and working. But do not attempt to start the engine again. Obviously something is not right mechanically. You should inspect the valve timing and all...
Yeah it's similar to 90-92, because the switchable transmissions are KM221/225. The previous model of W5M3 from the mid/late 80s. While I had it in my 1g, the shifting was just fine, no issue at all for my usage.
From my experience, when I went with a 67mm turbo, I didn't want to break the...
This FF OFH w/ oil cooler ports is rare, kind of unicorn. (I was looking for one for many years and finally got one recently) That's why you haven't found much info.
It's from older engines like turbo G62B/G63B. It technically fits with 6 bolt but the inside oil passage route is a little bit...
You never know until physically check the side to side play. You don't see the rpm drop symptom by crankwalk just right after the initial startup. If the crankshaft is really walking already, then obviously the cause is assembly error, the block side was already shot, you cranked too much w/...
I was aware of that. Just shared little-known info. And I explained how it won't affect if the scratch is shallow. If deep, then it's simply defective. Ask the vendor for exchange or refund.
And here is another little-known info, Tomei sell ACL Race bearings by rebadging name (only for 7 bolt...
I have sold numerous ACL Race and King XP sets to shops/professional engine builders in Japan. To be honest, I have never received any complain even once.I don't know how deep the scratch is but if you care about it, maybe you should ask Calico for CT-1 dry film coating.As for King XP...
Did you set the TPS range and the base ignition timing through the tab in green?
And did you set the wideband O2/MAP/IAT sensor too? Are they reading properly in a log? Please upload a log file.
How exactly is the idle problem? Too high? Too low? Surging? Bogging? etc etc.And did you assign all the sensors properly? and have you set the throttle position and base ignition timing by using a timing light in AEMPro? This is very important, if you have not done that yet, you must do that...
600? Wish I was close to you. Yeah the best would be to find a DSMer close to you. That would help you more than a general mechanic.It doesn't sound abnormal to me.I think you read a wrong info or misunderstood. Yes it should keep the pressure after turn off the engine if you have a check...
You know that damaged bearings or cam journals is like the worst case scenario. And even if it gets damaged a little, the engine should still fire up as long as if they still rotate. So your no start issue is most likely not related to dumping oil due to loose oil filter.
I mentioned it as just...
Then there may be a difference between Exedy US and Japan or maybe how to call the kit is different. For me, the stage 1 kit is always the stock replacement kit with organic disc and the stage 2 has the same pressure plate but with copper ceramic 3 pad disk. They have a higher clamping force...
I am not sure about the stage 0. I assume you are talking about stage 1 and stage 2, instead of 0 and 1. If so, IIRC the only difference is the disc, the pressure plate is the same between stage 1 and 2.
Correct. It won't last long.Doesn't matter exactly how many MM it moves, if you can recognize the crankshaft side to side movement by eyes, it's already too late. Judging by the video, your crankshaft has been walking terribly for long. As I already mentioned that you may need to replace the...
You would need to rotate the crank a bit more. All marks will be lined up once in 6 crank rotations.That's way too much. You may need to be prepared replacing the block, too.That location is kind of common location to leak. It won't affect the oil pressure unless the leak is massive. Your...
