I've let them soak in PB and I've broken my homemade breaker bar I've tried bouncing on the thing with all my weight (not much my heavier friends are on their way no joke) and I ran a hammer into my leg.

Any suggestions? I'm stumped?

Btw I'm replacing the half shafts since my stock ones are shot to hell (click click click every single turn :( embarrassing)

Thanks in advance,

The Car:
1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL ...Cat Removed, K&N Air Filter. Check Sig for Pic

The Supplies:

Oil Castrol GTX 5w-30 Conventional (Best?)


Rislone


Napa Gold Filter





I Will be putting this in my car in a few hours and I will post my results once I get home.. I am going on a 80 mile trip today and If my lifter tick is fixed or whatever else changes. I will let you know:)


This is a good mix to fix a tick from reading several threads.

Probably going to have them rebuilt slightly ported and replacing the lifters with the big bore ones to help with the lifter tick and extra strain on the motor. Now I was thinking of raising the CR while I was it, Either by using a thinner HeadGasket or shaving the head's down a bit. Now I don't know too much about these engines(heads) but I do know a bit about engines in general. So far All we have done are new spark plugs, belts, tranny filter oil change, and a strut bar =p. Also have an ebay intake which should be fun=p Further mods will be downpipe and a test pipe. So back to the compression ratio. Does anyone know the sock CR on these DOHC engines? how about valve/piston clearance? piston/top of the block space(i forgot the technical term for this) Any sources of thinner headgaskets and calculations of how much this would raise CR? how much is the most you would shave off each head???? Any info is greatly appreciated.
( I was thinking of cams but damn they are expensive... my 8valve volvo uses 1 cam =p and it smokes the 3kgt... not cool needs more powarz!!! )


More questions... heehee:
Stock fuel preassure is 2.5bar?
injector size? in lb/hour preferably. ]]> Engine - Non-Turbo gonzalosalcedo09 http://www.3si.org/forum/f36/raising-cr-96-na-dohc-3kgt-479583/ http://www.3si.org/forum/f36/converting-automatic-manual-have-parts-479573/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:50:51 GMT Hey guys, I might receive some criticism for this, however, hear me out first.
I am a proud owner of a 91 Dodge Stealth R/T DOHC and have put an enormous amount of work into her lately. All of a sudden she stopped running and I couldn't figure it out for a while so I bought another stealth. The new one was a 92 Dodge stealth R/T DOHC. This one also had a manual tranny while the 91 had an automatic. However, the 92 isn't in nearly the same shape as the my original baby. Suddenly, after kinda tinkering around with the 91 for fun, me and my buddy got the girl running again. So now I have two stealths and am probably going to use the new 92 as a parts car because the interior is disgusting and it has a significant amount of rust while the old one has none.
Here's the thing though, I've really fallen in love with the manual tranny now and would like to make it a project to convert the automatic to a stick this summer. But I've been researching on what I would need and the cost of doing it, does anyone have any suggestions? I can't seem to find any reliable sources of information for doing this, so any suggestions would help!

I for one cannot do it. I have looked up the how to and I WILL screw something up so I turned to my dad who owns a GM dealership in town and he or his mechanics will not touch it because it is "rice". So....Dealership time.

What is a dealership going to realistically charge to install the lifters and a new oil pan. While they are at it I might have them install some solid mount motor mounts.....

I would call the dealership but , i want i real world price, they are going to tell me some bullshit guess. Also are they even reliable....with the car being so old are they going to f**k it up and not do it right?

My goals with this fix are to know i can rev to 7k and not blow up lol and to get rid of that:ak47: G*d D**N F*****ing Piece of S**t TICK!..... It drive me insane .... [/Rant]

Today i changed my brake pads. This was like at 1 in the afternoon. At 3 i decided to head out to my friend's house because we were going to the shooting range. I pulled out of the drive way and i see the coolant light on. Right away i pulled to the side and checked if it was low. I open the cap and i could see the coolant and did not seem low but decided to see if i put water would it take it. Well i was right and it was full. So i leave my car at my friends house and we leave. I get back at 6 and turn the car on and the light is still on. I go home and search to find out what could it be.
1st. I checked all the connections all of them properly connected.
2nd. Check the reservoir, at the half way mark.
3rd. Double check the connections again.
4th. I decided to disconnect the battery for 30 minutes and see if it would go away.
The light is still on. Well i drove the car to see if it would act up. 10 miles going to my destination and 10 coming back. The coolant temperature never rose above normal.

I would like to see if anyone else can give me some input on this. Im pretty lost at this point.:confused:

Thanks in advance for any input.

I was given a 3000GT 5spd SL and it doesn't start. I tried giving it a boost, but I get nothing more from it other than a whimper from the starter. The engine does not turn over, doesn't even turn for one full rotation before it gives up.

Here's a breakdown of what we tried. Jumper cables connected, ignition in key. Dash lights comes on, and chime too. The chrime sounded weak to me. Interior lights came on also. Radio was powered, and headlights turn on. Turn ignition key to START possition, and hear a loud clicking noise followed by a whimper from the starter. Tried this for over an hour, no results. Removed the battery to bypass, still nothing. Revved my car to give it more boost, no go.

Here's a few things I noticed. The built-in volt-meter in the 3000GT shows 12 volts when it's jumped. As soon as I try to crank it, volt drops all the way. Tailights turn off and goes dim. It draws so much power that the other car's headlight turns dim, and the alarm in the 3000GT get's reset.

A little background about me. I work on cars as a hobby. I do read and appreciate Factory Service Manuals(I need one for this car if anyone has one). I understand current, volt, and resistance in electricity. I understand the fundamentals of engines. Some work I've done in the past includes repairing an auto tranny, t-belt replacement, and front-end suspension work. I prefer to keep the car's I drive stock. This one is very much stock.

If I had to guess, I'd say either the starter is dying, or the engine is hard to turn over. I don't have experience with either of these, so I'm asking for help from the experienced folks here at 3Si.

I followed that writeup and it went great. No leaks . the writeup is this one

http://www.3si.org/forum/f1/how-fix-...p-assy-420892/

Sadly the car idles fine but shuts off shortly after I go on the road and won't restart for 1/2 hr. the car is a 1994 sohc stealth , auto with 155,000 miles on it.


i disconnected the banjo bolt at the filter and had a friend crank it. there was fuel there so i assumed the filter and pump were okay. but now i purchased a fuel presssure gauge and attatched it to the fuel filter at the banjo bolt. i also used fuel injection line and clamps. when the engine was running at idle the gauge had a reading of 38-40 psi. i revved it and the psi went up 5-7 psi. after that i removed the gauge and reinstalled the banjo bolt with a new washer. car still idled fine. i then squeezed the vacuum line going to fuel pressure regulator and noticed that the rpm dropped sightly . i was told that this was how to test the regulator. well car still idles for as long as i let it run in my driveway. once i take it on the road it will run fine for about 10 min than start to hesitate, stumble, lose power and finally die out. will not start for another 20-30 min. when it does than it will run as previously described. if there is anything else that i can do any help would be greatly appreciated.

took it on the road with the fuel gauge attatched to see if there was any change in the pressure when it would start to fail. All through the drive including when it shut off the fuel pressure would only fluctuate when I stepped on the accelerator. How can changing the fuel pickup tube cause this? was running great before. any help would be appreciated. also i do have the service manual just don't know where to start. ]]> Engine - Non-Turbo diddley813 http://www.3si.org/forum/f36/loss-power-than-engine-shuts-off-478981/ http://www.3si.org/forum/f36/99-3000gt-crank-pulley-problem-478931/ Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:30:19 GMT i have a 99 3000gt dohc non turbo automatic. the crank pulley recently went bad and i had bought a used 3sx stock size light weight pulley from ebay. i removed the old one with no problem but wen i attempt to torque down the new one the crank just spins. i do not have an impact gun. and the car is an auto so there is no putting it in gear and holding the break. i am afraid if i lock the cams that wen i torque it the belt may jump a tooth! any suggestions to help me with my little problem would be great. and if anyone knows the crank bolt torque spec and if i should use a little bit of lock tight on the bolt. thanks! i have a 99 3000gt dohc non turbo automatic. the crank pulley recently went bad and i had bought a used 3sx stock size light weight pulley from ebay. i removed the old one with no problem but wen i attempt to torque down the new one the crank just spins. i do not have an impact gun. and the car is an auto so there is no putting it in gear and holding the break. i am afraid if i lock the cams that wen i torque it the belt may jump a tooth! any suggestions to help me with my little problem would be great. and if anyone knows the crank bolt torque spec and if i should use a little bit of lock tight on the bolt. thanks! ]]> Engine - Non-Turbo ssman923 http://www.3si.org/forum/f36/99-3000gt-crank-pulley-problem-478931/ http://www.3si.org/forum/f36/replaced-engine-now-idle-issues-478913/ Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:16:03 GMT Alright well i have a 1994 stealth sohc 5 speed and spun a bearing, so i replace it with a 1993 stealth es sohc atx trans motor. Once the swap was done we tried starting it and it would'nt because of the starter so we pushed it and popped the clutch and it started up. I backed it up into the garage and it ran fine so i shut it down. The next day we had to push and pop the clutch again because the starter was still messed up so we did and it was fine up until it just started ideling weird for a few seconds and just shut off. I was low on gas so i thought that i just ran out of gas, so i just kept it off until tommorrow when i get gas. So i got the gas and put it in and started her up(i replaced the starter) and it ran fine for about 5 min and then started to idel real funny again the rpms going up and down until it finally died.

This did not help at all but while bleeding the slave I did see that the clutch fork that the slave is supposedly pushing isn't actually pushing back on the slave which I think is the whole problem and the reason for my squishy clutch pedal despite the stage3 clutch package. I was able to easily move this fork back and forth while the slave was out (normal?). I also noticed that the master comes out of the firewal a few mm when pushing the clutch in is this normal?

-NGK traditional spark plug
-NGK V-power spark plug
-NGK GP Platinum
-NGK Laser Iridium Long-life
-NGK IX Iridium
-NGK Double Platinum
