Need a Spot
Hi Guys,

I had my water pump go out today so I am having it as well as the timing belt done. I generally buy the parts @ wholesale thru a friends dealer account so that helps.

My mechanic gave me a list to get
Water Pump
Timing Belt
Idler Pulley
Camshaft seals(2)
Crankshaft seal

He recommended that I get the idler pulley from the dealer to make sure it is the correct one. Does anyone have any suggustions for the rest of the parts or anything else I should replace while he is in there?

Thanks alot

There's a tension pulley too. Depending on your climate and all, you may find that it doesn't want to slide on its pin and thus have the tension adversely affected. It's kind of like how a brake caliper gets stuck on its pins over time and weather.

On the outside/frontside, don't forget new drive belts.

Doing the same thing on my '92. I bought all new belts and hoses. New timing belt tensioner, and the other two tension pulleys as well. I also had to replace my crankshaft pulley, so I ordered a new bolt and washer for that. Did you check prices from mitsubishiparts.net ? They were the cheapest I could find, but maybe your buddy has an inside line somewhere.
