Valve Gasket Leak, Will This Work?
Alright, so I spent alot of time today working on my car, and in the midst I noticed that i have a not so good leak all around my valve cover. There isn't really a Mitsu dealer close, but I went to Pep Boys down the street and they said they can order one for me for like 20 bucks. However, when I went home I started searching around and found a gasket kit for the 4g93, it includes:
+ Graphite head gasket
+ Intake manifold gasket
+ Exhaust manifold gasket
+ Valve cover gasket
+ Viton valve stem seals
+ Camshaft front
+ O-rings
+ Other Small Gaskets
And it says its good for:
1992-1996 1.8L DODGE COLT 4G93 SOHC 16V
1992-1996 1.8L DODGE COLT VISTA 4G93 SOHC 16V
1992-1996 1.8L EAGEL SUMMIT 4G93 SOHC 16V
1992-1994 1.8L MITSUBISHI EXPO LRV 4G93 SOHC 16V
1993-1996 1.8L MITSUBISHI MIRAGE 4G93 SOHC 16V
Now the only ones that I would really be needing out of all this are the Valve Cover gasket, and the Exhaust Manifold gasket, but will all of the other gaskets fit just fine onto our engine? It is on eBay, and it runs about 35 for the set with shipping.
Here is the link: There are many of these up there but here is one i was looking at
Thanks in Advance!

Bump for info. I wouldn't think it would work too well since they don't include the 97-02 mirage and thats the car we are mostly compatible with. I would check a mirage forum or ask one of the mirage guys in our forums if the two generations of mirage, the 93-96 and the 97-02 are compatible and you would probably have your answer. Btw, graphite head gaskets suck and I don't think it would fit our car anyways since its manufactured for a 1.8 block and ours is a 2.0 block. Maybe there isnt much difference but still.
Graphite headgasket would be a big no no.. especially since the stock one is Metal...
I would suggest just getting the Valve cover gasket itself and just not worry about anything.. i can get you one for $10 for just the valvr cover gasket or for $18 i can get you the spark plug tube seals as well included.. PM me if you want im located in SoCal..
