    420A Head gasket for non-interference

    Recently I had to pull my head because of leaking valve stem seals causing me to burn oil and since I’m running a fully exposed timing belt I was wondering if it’s at all possible to have a non interference set up If I use a thick enough head gasket and how thick do I need to go.The oem cams...

    2G Jumped Timing?

    I need a second opinion. On the road the other day my car sputtered out after a pop and wouldn’t turn over. Threw a P0335 code. I checked the crankshaft sensor and it was thrashed so I replaced it and hoped for the best. Still wouldn’t turn over, but every couple attempts it would make a...

    2G Timing belt adjustment

    Hey guys, so I figured out timing is off on my car (this explains my low vacuum at idle) so I set the crank at TDC and the cam gears are about a tooth off (see pic below). Just wondering what would be the easiest possible way to correct this. I’ve been told that I need to pull belt and redo...

    2G Does timing belt tension change with oil pressure?

    I noticed that my belt was loose when checking oil and coolant levels the day after replacing my water pump. I had to drive the car for an emergency and checked it when I arrived but it was tight again. Makes me wonder if oil pressure is involved.

    Hoping to make sure I'm looking in the right places to diagnose this issue, any suggestions appreciated.Issue: At warm idle the motor almost feels like it is stumbling.

    2G Timing side oil leak

    Hey guys, I've got a pretty serious oil leak on the timing side of my engine. It looks like the previous owner of my car got rid of the balance shaft and did not plug the hole in the side of the block where the tension pull and the sprocket for the balance shaft were. I'm going to guess that's...

    Tuning for pops on decel

    Ok, so after searching around, I found out how to tune for pops, the one thing that confused me was people said to do -5 timing at low load, so I changed 33 to 28, that didn't do anything haha, but when I figured it out, I retarded it to -2 in the lowest load (0.3 I believe) and turned idle...

    1G Hard starts and low power after Head Gasket replacement

    I did a head gasket replacement on my 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1.8L. Now let me start off by saying the head gasket was not blown but had an external leak at the oil jacket by cylinder #4. This was creating a river of oil down the side of the block and onto the bell housing of the tranny. Since...

    Long story short, my friend was cleaning oil off of my valve cover while the car was running and the paper towel got sucked into the timing belt.
