I'm going attempt to rebuild my engine! I've purchased a bsek, full gasket set, head bolts, water pump, fuel injectors, wires, plugs, coil, cap, rotor button, rod bearings, and all hoses and belts.

 

Anything else I really need to get while I have the engine out and apart?

if your getting a head gasket.

You might as well get the best one felpro made for our car.

get the felpro hs9116pt gasket kit.

 

there is a difference in water pumps through the years.

even though you have an 88 your engine could be from an 86.

They make a better pump blade design too....I think it was a bosh.....(Just something else to research.)

 

Be sure to go through the thottle body...replace all seals and gaskets.

 

Might as well look at the brake master cylinder...probly leaking.

 

get a die grinder and port the manifold....cheap easy work makes horse power!

 

Delete the abs module?

 

 

Go through the turbo water lines clean the holes in the banjo bolts....replace copper washers.

 

Replace the oem oil feed line with a SS line.....at least unhook it from the exhaust manifold....I dont know why Mitsubishi wanted to heat the oil before it goes in the turbo.....after a while im sure it just boils in that spot....where the flange wraps the oil line and bolts to that hot mani.

 

New clutch?

Lighten flywheel?

 

Egr delete?

 

Make some hard pipes?

 

Non jet head?

 

New lifters(mechanical adjusters)

 

Vacuum advance working properly?

 

Just a few things I would look into.

Hi,

 

Since it sound like you spun a bearing from previous posts you need to check the rods and crank at a machine shop. I also tried to replace just the bad bearing and the engine began to knock again. Also you oil cooler, oil cooler lines, and turbo have to be flushed of the bearing material that has circulated. This is what my oil cooler looked like blowing compressed air through it:

I would buy the hasting rings from http://www.enginemac...istons.php The one I purchased didn't need to be filed. I also you will need an oil tube pickup oring. You can reuse your head bolts. Also be very careful of the oil pump gasket. I would only buy the Mitsubishi. It has the tear drop shape in it:
