Me too..last night cept it swung my intake cam gear up and broke it

 

Bump anyone? How long can I go untuned? I'm almost done with my tbelt and we got a hurricane coming so idk wen I'll be able to get tuned?

 

great DIY! thanks

 

used the ueroexport tool worked great i did remember for some weird reason in the half i placed the seat then the spring assembly after then the second half i installed them all as one piece i pressed the seat into the spring before placing into the head when i pressed the spring down to place the keepers that should have pressed the spring into the seat on the first half right??? any one think i should redo them and place them as a single piece??? thnx in advance

 

Very good writeup, thanks guys. I'm gonna use nylon rope for my IX. The plan is to do 272 cams, beehive springs with ret, timing belt, and balance shaft belt. I've been ****ting bricks think about screwing up every since I decided to attempt it. I'm a skilled mechanic but EVOs are new to me. I'm used to subies and can do them in my sleep. Kinda funny, oh well. I'll let you know how it truns out. Thanks again.

 

Add that people with dual valve springs need to remove stock spring guide before installing new dual springs with supplied guides

 

you mean, remove stock seats before installing new aftermarkets seats.....unless specified springs use stock seats. by the way the stock seats are black, people think they are a rubber seals and leave them in when installing new seats, therefore putting more stress on the roller rockers.......and crack!

 

machine shops will do this for you if you remove the head

for springs, retainers and new seals it was 150 hot tanked as well

If i had all this crap i would have done it myself

Nice writeup

 

Just did my first cam install. Never saw anything that said to remove the seat from base of the valve. My dual springs have their own seats. So ya. Started her up. Ran for a few min them the rockers exploded 1x1

 

i know i read your thread

 

Can you guys elaborate on the 'timing belt' removal for this installation?

Does that mean that im basically doing a timing belt job after i install springs and retainers?

 

bump- this link is dead. does anyone know the tool he was trying to reference? getting ready to do this cam/sring/retainer job and want to be sure i have all the right tools....

 

use the eurosport tool.

 

yes sir

 

This job may be in my sons’ and my future! I noticed a puff of blue smoke yesterday, out the tailpipe… it doesn’t happen often--- I’ve only noticed it when it’s revved when warm. This car is a 2003 Eclipse which has the same engine (2.4L) as my 2004 Lancer Sportback. It doesn’t have that much mileage on it, but it sat 1.5 yrs before he bought it, earlier this month. The car needs a steering fluid cooler, some rust remediation and a timing belt. Before I buy seals I’ll check the compression, and do a leakdown test to ensure its not rings…
I’ve done a number of engine replacements and a re-build; however, I’ve never done valve seals. If valve seals are required, it would be a great opportunity to do the timing belt at the same time. If so, I hope this Eurosport tool is still available! One thing I’ve learned over the years is, with the right tools, it always makes bigger jobs less problematic!
Any input with respect to my conclusions would be appreciated!
