i think you need torx bits to get the headstuds out...

you will possible need a honer to re-hone the bore... i am not sure if the $70 ebay item with a drill is ok or not

socket set for the rest of the bolts

probably some sealant for the rocker cover

ring compressor for the piston rings

feeler gauge to measure gaps

torque wrench to torque things up properly

hammer for when things go wrong :P

 

speaking of feeler gauge, whats the ring gab supposed to be?

 

 

hehehe nice ! when are you gonna do that tephra ? snap some pix mate. some info for conrod replacement ?

 

well once I am 100% sure on exactly what the process is and that I have all the tools required I will be ordering parts...

 

If you're rebuilding a 4B11 with aftermarket forged pistons (or even the stock ones), absolutely do not use those ring gaps. I know not everybody agrees with certain shops, but a few of them are 100% correct about the stock ring gaps being too tight. Mitsubishi probably did it for emissions purposes; I couldn't imagine another reason to gap rings so tightly on a turbo engine.

 

I know on my new motor the ring gaps will not be that tight that's for sure.
