matt the head gasket went yesterday as we all now ownership of turbo cars = no money the good news is its a easy job and i can do it total cost £107.00 for genuine mitso head gasket and bolts, no more money than doin my erst the other thing is how easy and nice the evo is to work on , i also couldent believe the main mitsubishi dealer had my imported car details up on ther computer from my chassis number and cud get me any part for it all this shit about main dealers saying thay wont have anything to do with imports.

the bad news is the old girl my erst iv owned for 10 years went to a guy in blackpool just down from stu,s i realy did cry a little
i just couldent justify putin massive money into it to save it from roting away and needing a new engine
i will always love rs,s and hope to do a s1 restoration job one day when i have the cash but for now the evo was the best option and best price

Mitsubishi are good with imports, it's subaru who are pr!cks

Fingers crossed it's the gasket mate, may be worth checking the head while it's off?

hi james , thers a place just around from me that can do the skim if its needed but hope not, the hardest thing about this job looks to be the cam belt, its fookin massive and fits around a million things

sorry better pic

Mr Whippy

Word of warning, make sure you get the balance shafts correctly lined back up when you put the cam belt back on.........

Otherwise you will drive it up the road and it will shake your teeth out, and you will have to do the job again

(Speaking from personal experience)

thanks mate, ive just timed it up to take the head off but im not gona do the final time one thing i have found out tho is that the oil pump time mark looks to be 1 tooth out from the rest of the timin , i turned well over 6 times and still the oil pump looked 1 tooth out, i had the dealer put a new one on b4 i bought it , looks like thay dident now how to do it, by the way i put the recirculating bov back on and what a differance it did tick loads better but sempt to have more low down pull, i also took the battery of over night so the ecu wud reset to factory settings, have you read the article on MLR about the tests that guy done on d/v vented to atmospere and d/v recirculated? i dident realise that if vented to amoshere the ecu reads things wrong from the maf senser and put to much petrol hence people with black smoke inbetween gears i might put the post up on here its very intresting

Excellent matey, im glad the DV has sorted your problems and yeah, venting metered air is never a good idea.

Just a damn shame the gasket went so soon
