damn......sorry bro.....i was just about to ask ya if the mitsu engine was interface or non interface.........so that if the belt snapped ud be ok or not...........Here is what ur going to do.......


get your car towed to your house........im going to get you a link where u can get a used head for the motor.....and just swap it yourself........

 

what generation is this galant you have? Will this head fit? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CYLIN...36588827QQrdZ1

 

thats what i was gunna suggest, swapping the head yourself.

but damn...what did he do to bend the valves?

 

Damn man I am sory to hear that. I am glad when I had the timing belt changed on my car every thing went well. Good luck with getting it fixed.

 

yup, i sure did [:@] and pete, no that head won't fit. it's too old. I need 4g64 2.4 SOHC head

 

Well, I think I have some good news. I talked to the mechanic who did the timing belt and even though he's not convinced it was his fault. He is curious as to what really happened. So he's got a guy going to the dealership today to talk to the mechanic to find out the whole story. Hopefully something good will come of this. I'll post later to let you guys know what he finds out.

 

Well, I think I have some good news for a change. I might just need a auto tensioner. That might have been the whole reason I jumped time in the first place. And there's a chance my valves are not bent. I'm going to pick the car up tomorrow from the Mitsu. dealerand let a mechanic (a DIFFERENT mechanic) look at. Hopefully, I will get away with just replacing the tensioner and re-timing it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

hopefully that is all that it is and not the bent valves, the dealership might just have been trying to screw you out of a lot of cash

 

Well I know the dealerships are always higher on quotes and all. But hopefully I when it gets taken down tomorrow, I will know for sure. And there's something else too. It might be possible to put a DOHC on my block. Make my SOHC into a DOHC. Maybe squeeze some more horses out of that thing.

 

good luck with the car man.. i hate mitzus right now... damn black eclipse.... i hope it finds a match one of these days
