Hi I need help, I just purchased a short block from a member here who purchased it from Jesseb. So i'm the 3rd owner, the guy I bought it from never used it. I recently spun a bearing on my stock block so I purchased this new stock block to replace my broken one. My question is, what else should I buy to make this short block swap happen? I'm going to purchase a gasket kit and I have a 60K timing kit that I had replaced on my original block 5K ago. Do I need to buy a whole new timing kit? The timing kit included the timing belt, water pump, tensioner and the bearing and pulleys. I was thinking of just swapping all my parts onto this new block and thats it. Any input would help.

Thanks.

 

may as well do all new timing components

oil cooler and oil cooler line must be replaced

oil pan must be hot tanked and thoroughly cleaned

turbo must be inspected for bearing shavings

turbo feedline and return line must be inspected for bearing shavings

head must be inspected for bearing shavings

need new oil pickup tube

need to get a full engine gasket kit from mitsubishi

recommended you get a new frontcase with oil pump

recommended you inspect the oil filter housing ( no need to replace this although i did anyways)

i think thats everythings.. little ends and odds. good luck and enjoy the finished project.

use the OEM headgasket that comes in the gasket kit and also get some ARP studs also.

and Lucas assembly lube is your friend.. along with a new torque wrench that you can trust for both 1/2 and 3/4 socket.
