3.- Detonated at 6k - as of lastnight it looks like detonation on the #1 cly - were still doing the autosy, but it looks like a lean conditon on #1 that could have been caused by a improper install or tuning of an E-manange system.

Yo put the stock parts back on make it look as stock as you can and Call the AAA and get that car towed to the dealer and see what they say u should get it fixed under warranty but get it back to stock seriously this should work at no extra expense!!

And possibly a felony at that, given the amount of money hanging in the balance. In any case, I doubt one could just bring in something like that and expect Mitsu not to perform a *thorough* inspection. They shouldn't be expected to just roll over and ante up for something like this, and no doubt they would follow their suspicions.

I thought you were concerned about the impact on your pocket? Sounds to me like your pocket is pretty damn deep from all those mods you are getting ready to do.
Glad everything is going to get back in running order. It sucks when your car goes down.

well....lets just say I had 2 months of unrealistic commission checks....worked my *** off to get this stuff out of the way and to put some money in the bank!....and in case ur wondering...i'm a mortgage loan officer...hehe..
Same thing happened to my car pretty much while getting 272s installed
guy at the shop over torqued the oil feed line to the turbo, all the oil leaked out on the highway.. motor said LAYDAH.
better make that guy at the shop pay for it.

just a guess...but are you sure a rocker did not get hit during the cam install and drop down the rear oil gallery into the sump.....they fit down there you know and also come off very easily during cam installation...I would check all your rockers are still present at the top of the engine
