11:30am New Mexico time and the Skunk Works crew is headed home. It was EPIC, we worked until after 10:00pm Friday night, had the heads off. Cylinders were fine, but we found a HUGE piece of steel in one. It seems it was the pressed in sleeves for the butterfly's that finished me off. Saturday, all the usual problems, missing bolts, broken connectors, missing parts...I literally never stopped running for parts. Then...FAILURE! Hard cranking, no bueno. At 1:00am I went to bed and the crew decided to pull the plenum back off. Something miss assembled? Wrong firing order????Noooooo, one cam was installed by the MACHINE SHOP BACKWARDS!!! Can you say, start all over again? By 7:00am(yes, everyone but the driver worked all night) it was ready to fire back up, and after break in runs great. Once again the Mitsu community proved just how amazing it is, thanks for everything.....and get some sleep. And I will get back to work fine tuning and building this monster. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Well, I have back up lights....but a broken window latch. How are those related? I decided to do some things while the tools were out, so I got those back up lights on, put the battery tie down back on again, tracked down a pinched air line, started looking into the hot shower...when Jeremiah locked himself in with the keys <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> NOW, I am done for the weekend <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> Thanks again crew <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh, it was rumored that the top two radiator bolts/brackets were unable to be found. you'll need to refigure thst out.

Thanks for the heads up, thought we had that nailed down on the first assembly. Must have disappeared during round 2 at 4:00am. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Wow, good save guys!!!

Hate to say it, but I have a misfire on #4 cylinder now. Did not think the truck was running quite right or idling right, and the check engine light came on. Code says #4 cylinder miss fire. Pulled the cover, plug and coil, and don't see anything obviously wrong. Thinking about getting that harness and a coil sent over. Guess start there?

number 4 is the middle cylinder on the driver side so could be the boot or coil and it would be a good idea to replace that part of the harness since it is damaged

Wait, you just basically rebuilt the entire top end of the engine but you didn't replace the plugs and wires? Test the coils?

Just checking.

We replaced the plugs, but not the wires. We had a plug on the wire harness connecting to the plugs break, and another kind of broke a little while ago, but they seem to be ok. How do you test the coil?

rock auto has the connectors for the spark coils they just need to be soldered into you current harness.
I'm looking for just the coil pack book for you i'll let you know what i find.
