I don't find it to be a pain at all, and XL gloves are just about snug on my hands. Also I don't need the belt on to torque the bolts to 96in/lbs. Can hold it by hand no problem. Maybe its because my hands are big enough to hold onto over 1/2 the pulley lol

They just showed me all the new stuff installed on the car with it on the lift. It seems like it would be a nightmare to do it without a lift...

Interesting, looks like the mechanic used his impact anvil on the crank bolt.

Anyone have any ideas on why I'd now have what seems to be a horrible exhaust rattle (possible downpipe) after getting this done?

Whether you can do that or not depends on the strength of the steel the bolt was made of. Apparently, its the good stuff. If the bolt was soft you'd chance spreading the outside of the head so it wouldn't fit a socket anymore and rounding the inside. So, this is just an observation on how good of bolt Mitsubishi used. I think I'd still use a socket.

Who did the job? If not a Mitsubishi knowledgeable mechanic the oil pump driven balance shaft could be out of time. The sprocket on the timing belt driven oil pump drives the oil pump but then on the back side of the pump there's a gear that drives the balance shaft. So, just lining up the timing mark on the oil pump sprocket is not enough to insure the balance shaft is in time. If you are experiencing a vibration at around 4000 rpm its probably the balance shaft.

Video of the noise: Note: I did not have this rattle before I got the work done on Thursday. They did full 60k service btw., |
If they screwed something up they have no excuse. Its probably going to take some looking.

When doing the timing belt and/or water pump is the engine moved at all? I still have stock downpipe, I wonder if the headshield could have been in bad condition already and it got dislodged. |
Don't stress. Balance shafts don't cause rattles.
It's always hard to diagnose noises by watching videos ,but sounds like a heat shield. Have someone rev the car while you listen. |
