Re: Is My Car F'd?

They also have a huge problem with oil pumps that seize up after 300 miles or so. That could be what happened here.

Start over, use mostly Mitsu rebuild parts where possible, and make sure you check everything that had oil going through it, including the oil cooler. If you had a external one, throw it away, you can't clean them out enough not to trash a new motor.
