I ordered all my misc. Mitsubishi parts and gaskets from Conicelle on Wednesday. This morning a recieved a FedEx box containing my order complete as requested!
BTW - Because I had to have the crank turned down .010 I am having to use Clevite bearings that I'm getting from Winner's Circle for about a quarter of the price of O.E.M. So after putting these bearings in correctly, I'll test them to their limits along with a turned down crank and we'll find out first hand if there's any truth to the Bearing and crank myth. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

QUOTE (awd4kicks @ Aug 30 2003, 12:06 AM) Plus I don't see a crank actually breaking because it was turned down unless there was already a flaw in it or there was some crazy engine wrecking explosions. Your car never sees any of those crazy engine wrecking explosions, does it? Honestly, I think that may be part of the reason the Mitsu decided to put hardened forged cranks in our cars. The increased knock potential of a turbcharged engine calls for a robust crank. Me being the devil's advocate aside, I seriously doubt you'll have any problems though, as long as you provide enough fuel and cool enough air and I think you'll have those covered. |
