  1. it may not but why take a chance when it doesn't seem to be a problem. If the wear is a problem I would look at then posablty that the std rockers were worn before the new cam was installed . or in the case of the rollers are the cams ground with the same angle as the stock roller cams are? Mark T
  2. The only hole needed is a hole to the lifter , the rockers shown in the pictures are standard hyd rockers and if you drill a hole to spray more oil around you may be weekening the rockers unnessaraly. The post was about roller rockers and the pictures did not show them. Mark T
  3. Non of the rockers shown are roller rockers. But with an open bearing that is used on the rollers there is no need to have a hole , that will only weeken the rocker. Mark T
  4. I have a trany and rear end out of a 84 supra and the rear end is almost a clone of the quest diff. It would not take much work to put one in a quest and I bet there are a lot more ratios aval. for it than the quest. Mark T
  5. If you want to keep your trany cooler us ATF it absorbes and disapates heat faster because it is thiner. we also found that it helps shif faster and scyros seem to last longer. mark T
  6. The biggest problem is finding the right size tie rod ends, and cutting the fire wall to run the double jointed shaft to the steering shaft. Mark_T
  7. To keep crap out of crank holes run a couple of layers of masking tape around each journal. If you have over 100,000 miles on the engine , make sure you brake the glase as the bores seem to get very hard and honing is very inportant to make sure the rings seat in well. Let us know if the oil rings are pluged up with corbon. Mark_T
  8. The asian/borgwarner is a better trany according to several trans shops I have talked to but only better, it is not a cure for a 300 + HP engine and drag slicks. If you want something to handle gobs of HP you will jhave to spend the money to adapt a chev or ford auto trans that is beefed up to handle that kind of power. Lets face it the small asian tranys are small and are not strong enough to handle 300+ HP engines no matter how much money you spend. If you want to race be prepared to spend lots of money and time to solve problems. Mark_T
  9. The trany that comes in the mit van also comes in the Montero, supra toyota 4 runner cressida PU' s amd toyota vans 84 to 89 So they are not a rare bird. the differance is the front section has the belhousing and over drive and the bolt patteren for the engine. Mark_T
  10. The FWD car has a double ujoint shaft that goes through the fire wall at an angle to match up the steering shaft to the steering rack. The stock shaft can either be shorten to the right distance or the FWD steering shaft can be used with the quest to make a steeringassy that is the right size. The trick is the angle between the steering shaft and the rack. and than where to cut the fire wall so every thing hooks up correctly. Mark T
  11. I have recomended Mitubishi racks ,because they are all the same size or dam close , and they use the same basic pump. I have about 8 racks and many steering colms off FWD mitubishi's And by taking the steering assy off the colum with the plate and part of the fire wall around the plate , so the shaft can hook up with the rack. I would recomend brackets on the crossmember be made with slots to allow the rack to be moved up and down untill every thing fits right . The reamers that can open up the steering arm so the tierod end will fit, are around 100 to 130 bucks. if enough pepole show interest I can have one made and rent it or have yours done hear. i am finally going to have a little time before our 8 month tour of the USA to make a rack an pinion steering setup . I will take pictures and if an old fart can fingure out how I will post them. Have fun Mark_T
  12. I would like to correct a mistake I made in my post about trany bolt patteren for a 2.4 engine . I have a 2.4 engine out of a 87 mitubishi van with fuel injection and it is the same as a 2.6 quest engine. so either the 5 speed or quest auto or the van auto which is the asian borgwarner trany ( better) will bolt up thus solving the trany problem. But the out put shaft is a different size spline so a custom drive shaft with bigger ujoints is needed,as the auto ujoints are farly small. also a DASH head will bolt up with a problem with water jackets and should flow as much as the twin cam, two very large intake valves.

  13. For the people who have never rebuilt an engine before ths is what can be done with care and determanation .. David had not rebuilt an engine before but had a good machinest , Kelly helped a lot and he bought good quality parts and when he had a problem he found out what was the best way to solve it . The car runs great and after a minior amount of body work is fixed he should have a car he can be proud of and last a long time Have fun David Mark_T
  14. If you can find one the best head to use would be a sirus dash head , it is a 3 valve per cyl head that was used in the 82 rallie car and the Jackie Chan car it has one small intake valve that opporates to approx 3000 RPM when the comp. turns on the oil everter to the hyd rams on top of the larger set of valves taking the engine from approx 100 hp to 200 hp in 1 to 2 sec . These engines are 2 lt engiones ,but with a 2.4 engine , and a good turbo 300 to 400 hp would be possable with reliablity. Have fun Mark T
  15. For your info on what fits what, The 18. 20. and 2.4 lt engnes all have the same adapter plaate on the back of the enginre thus will bolt up to any 2lt Quest trany or D 50/Mity Max 2.0 or 2.4 4 sp or 87 and newer 5sp. The blocks on all the Mitsubishi 18 20 2.4 2.6 and 3.0 are drilled and taped to be used in either FWD or RWD set ups. The problem with the 63 engine in a Quest is the head is taller witch requires modifing the mounting area to lower the engine . Now there is one exception as far as mounting a 2.0 trany to a 2.6 In the early D 50's that used a 904 auto trans they had a adapter plate that bolted on to the 2.6 engine and had the 2.0 lt bolt patteren to bolt to the trany. The thing that must be remembered inusing this adapter is it is thicker that the normal adapter thus you will need to adjust for the thicker adapter plate. As far as auto trans go it is posable to put together an auto trans to fit either the 2.0 2.4 2.6 or 3.0 engines if you want to . Are there any opther questions ? Have fun Mark_T
