Re: Another Mitsu

Well, as some of you may know, this fucker threw a timing belt last week. Good ol' interference motor too. Worst part was that the timing belt, water pump, and tensioner pulley were all serviced at 60,000 as per recommendation, and the car only had 99,000 on it. I'm thinking either the tensioner or the water pump was the culprit, I will find out when I get a chance to dig into the old motor this winter.

Anyways, a guy I know got us a used motor with 60k on it for a decent price and its back on the road again with all new timing components, etc.
