Part of owning a project car is learning, and a lot of learning comes from doing it.So what if he misdiagnosed it? He figured out what was wrong with it and hes gonna make it right. EVERYBODY gets in over there heads at some point with a project car and thats how they learn.

Now that you have some time you should put together some money and get a 6 bolt back in. Im sure some of the guys on the forum would give you a hand so you could do it on the cheap.

> Oem. If there’s one thing mitsubishi ever did right was make good gaskets. If your taking the head off do the timing belt water pump idler and tensioner bs. The gates aftermarket timing belts are.really.good.

mitsu,s maching is mostly to blame on there gaskets holding up . when i worked for them we had a rash of the 3.0 lt v6,s get recalled because no headgaskets were installed on them . the only issue was a slight oil leak lol

if you cant get an OEM head gasket, i was told from a very well known source that the Fel-Pro gasket is a very durable gasket. Mike Reichen is this source. look him up if you’re unfamiliar.

Brakes are fixed and the car is running more solid then the day I got it! Drove about 50 miles tonight, no overheating (and I was beating on it), no stalls (and I was making lots of hard rights and shifting during them KRAMER) :lol.  
Only hickup was another boost leak, which turned out to be the line from the blow off valve (again). Gonna pick up a few things and lock that line down, but look out for her at LVD Wednesday night. Shooting for a high 12 to low 13 second pass and to be able to drive her home after I do it!

Don’t fucking do it… Seriously, if you break something your going to be putting it up in the FS thread again because your not going to want to put money in it… Car will take some serious fucking abuse on a hard launch especially if its hot and the track is sticky as fuck

If you runt he car with out launching it you are wasting your time and beating on the car for no reason. The only reason these things are quick is because they can rip out of the hole.
