4b11t's are not the toughest motor, but it seems odd to loose a motor with such tame mods. and it does sound like its messed up. maybe a tank of bad gas. maybe a mechanical defect. i would not try to crank it under any circumstance. drain oil into a clean container to check for debris. pull plugs and try to get a look at the piston tops. borescopes are pretty cheap.

 

Well I did have the car towed to the dealer, I talked with them and told them what happened. They were going to get it in today and start pulling it apart to figure out what exactly is going on. I will let everyone know as soon as they call me.


Worst case if they do not cover the cost I am going to start new here and have it built. It will take me a few months financially to be able to do it right so a big part of me hopes they will warranty it.
If they do cover it I will probably leave it stock for now and start ordering everything to have it built the right way then have it all installed at once with a good tune.

 

good luck

 

Well my car has been at the dealership since Thursday. They were supposed to have it in the garage on Friday to take a look at it, I called them on Friday at 430 since I hadn't heard from them. They said they did not get time to get it in yet but will definitely have it in Monday morning. Today is Monday and they never called me, I left them a message and did not get a call back. Wondering what's going on and why it's taking so long, starting to get a little nervous/anxious here.

 

Relax.. It's a dealership.

 

Could also be a spun bearing

 

Well good news. I just talked with the dealer and Mitsubishi is going to replace my motor, well l the short block. The dealer is still not sure exactly what happened? Any ideas?

Thanks

 

Good to hear.
