torque specs are the same as stock head unless you use arp head studs - they are higher.
Is there anything you don't know about these truck's:lmao:you must have worked on the assembly line:thumbup:Quote:

haha no such thing as tooo knowledgeable
He bought the first one ever made so I doubt there is anything he doesnt know about them. Then again he's not so familiar with the 2.4L EFI :p
Thats it, he got the 1st one ever made[ the Holy Grail ]:worship: And good luck getting your engine straight
im hoping THIS head wont fail me :(
Have paitience and it should come together:thumbup:
thanks. when its all together il post some build pics and the final product :))
Maybe later this year ill rebuild my engine,if I don't get a Dodge Charger 1st
i cant wait til mines done and i can drive it. im lookin to get a bit muddy when its all done ;) . also my engines getting a pretty purple paint job.
I have a friend who takes me to some really nice offroad spots where we can really play:))
yea i got a bunch of pits and trails to explore here. tired of being in the passenger spot haha
Having Geronimo for over 32 years since new and having several others over the years tends to gjve you some knowledge if you pay attention. Thanks for the kind words - I'll try not to get a swelled head...lol
As long as you've had one you even saw when they discontinued them in 97. I think they should bring these small trucks back. I think it would really help mitsubishi come back to life if they advertise a small cheap pickup that has a diesel option with over 40mpg.
heck yes.. i'd jump on it real quick. especially a nice turbo diesel w/ a manual tranny :shock:Quote:

Its great having someone with as much knowledge as you, to help us newbies:worship:Quote:

really? oh u talkin about the Vauxhall Monaro VXR (pretty much a re-badged american GTO) thats a pretty badass motor tho. I driven my buddy's 6.0 6spd. it has insane pull :shock:
and lookin at that pic again it kinda has the truck version chassis/shape of the GTO too. I bet the sales for this Chevy were pretty crappy out there too. lol
