My ? is there anything i should have checked before the car hit the streets again where working on tuning it for the break in miles.

 

i made sure all the injectors where working right.

 

i ran a compression test its 165 all the way across

 

update: sounds like there is lifter taping from what i was told . I let them know what to do about it. still havent got the car back yet.

 

A lifter? Who is disassemblying your engine?

 

A simple egt gauge would save a lot of engines keep it under 1600 degrees Fahrenheit and it will live longer .

 

Another dead thread revival! This is an exciting month.

 

Necro bump from 2006. Funny if you read this thread how the OP was saying that piston failure is common on a untuned, knocking, 50 psi boosted engine. Duh. Certainly not Mitsubishi's fault.

 

Are you drunk or high. Of course it means they are crappy.

 

People around here roll around untuned too, because they have been doing it for years and have been 'fine'

It is fine until it blows up...

 

I dont understand why you dont get it tuned.....especially with how easy the stick ecu is to manipulate for boltons

 

Just wanted to mention that I blew a head gasket pretty bad a while back and had a piston look like that. I think pieces of head gasket messed mine up...

I inspected the cylinder walls and decided to leave the piston and you would never know it now. The car has been running great since put back together.
