Definitely! I'll surely be hitting a few meets once this thing gets going. I keep telling myself "soon" haha.

clear as crystal yet or will you just believe me when I tell you I'm right...

the 94 galant is the only car mitsu put the 63 head on 64 block and for some reason those engineers decided to move the cam dowel and mark half a tooth... the answer is described above

anyone else wants to disagree get out the degree wheel and realize your wrong...

/thread
doesnt matter which belt one uses. tooth spacing remains unchanged. if its 50 teeth from crank gear to cam gear that figure does not magically change by adding a longer belt.

such fail in here.

THERE IS NO TIMING CHANGE between using 63 belt and a 64 belt.

the 64 belt simply would have more slack on the tensioner side.

Now it's you vs. the rest of the entire community. Explain further, sir, as your predecessors seem to have a valid point.

sure,
the timing changes when you move head up or down, move head up and cam gears rotate right. move head down (as in head shave) and gears rotate left.

tall 2.4 block raises head by 6mm. this will rotate gears by 3.75 degrees.

the gears rotate because belt tooth spacing/length does not change.

BELT LENGTH DOES NOT CHANGE TIMING. it only determines how much slack you have on the tensioner side . the distance from gear to gear remains a fixed constant.

dont know how else to explain it. I assure you I am correct. only way longer belt would change the timing is if you rotated the gears 1 full tooth during install. and you can do that with 63 belt!

^^i see your point of view and it is hard to explain....i always put the belt on and line up the "inner marks" of the cam gear to the tdc mark on the rocker cover just like stock and no it dont matter if its 4g64 or 63 belt....63 belt is just simply tighter.....but i gotta ask the OP....how many times have you had your head decked? it could make a difference but it seems your lucky and you can just run stock cam gears for stealth my heads been shaved down heaps and nearly lines up now also

Trust me guys 94AWDcoupe knows his sh*t when it comes to this, he sleeps,eats,craps, and lives these engines for the last 15yrs and does this in his sleep. I seen this guy in the middle of the night practically time one of these cars in dark.

Ok so 94awdcoupe I'm on board with what your saying and I would have to say that your the most right out of everyone I've seen here so, with a head decked once and my block cut when it was built I found at tdc I was retarded about 2.5* on exhaust and about 2* on exhaust therefore I advanced them to line up w my timing marks on the vc

Just to give an example does this support your theory/ is this around what u would expect it to be

sounds about right without knowing how much material was actually removed. you also have to keep in mind you cant rely on aftermarket cam gears being drilled and market perfectly true. nor are aftermarket cams. each part added can easily throw marks off +/- 2 degrees or more.

Fair enough so does it matter if you mark the timiing hears prior to timing the motor or just turn them to lime up w the vc after the motors been timed

So when the belt Kenneth doesn't change and the distance between the can gear and the crank pulley doesn't change timing?

Welp, 94awdcoupe, are you going to call Mitsubishi and tell them they were wrong or should I?

Obviously decking the block/citing the head moves your timing and 6mm height difference moves it significantly. If anyone degree'd their cams in the right way this would be more clear

Anyone here have Dohc 94 gallant can gear? Take a pic next to a 63 came gear or I'll find one. If i'm not right then at last explain to me how the Mitsubishi engineers were wrong.






Spoiler alert, they're not.

More deck height is like David carradine using a shorter chair to stand on, it doesn't work out so well
