Hows about tuesday fellas?
What time works for you guys?
Anytime Tuesday works fine for me. Consider, however, that I'd be driving up from the Springs, so planning around the rush hours in Denver would be much appreciated. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Guys, Aside from the two listed gaskets above, what others should I order from Mitsubishi parts to have on hand?
Valve cover gasket? Does it come with the moons? P/N?
What about a Fuel Pump? I can get a new one on eBay for $60. Is it needed?
Yes, you'll want a valve cover gasket since we'll be pulling the valve cover (and I think your's was leaking anyway?) The OEM part numbers are:
GASKET, ROCKER COVER
PNC CODE - 01110
P/N - MD024682
QTY - 1
SEAL, CYLINDER HEAD C RUBBER
PNC CODE - 01221
P/N - MD020718
QTY - 1
For the fuel pump, that's up to you whether you want to order one or not. You could order one, pull it, and find that it's good anyway and you'll wind up having bought a spare, or you could hold off ordering it, pull it, and find that you need it and then have to wait for your order to come in. Up to you. OEM info:
FUEL PUMP ASSY
PNC CODE - 05500A
P/N - MD138586
QTY - 1
Also, if your haven't checked yet, verify whether or not you have a Mitsu air filter installed in the air cleaner that sits atop the carb. If not, be certain to get a new filter to put in there.
ELEMENT, AIR CLEANER
PNC CODE - 11020
P/N - MD620047
QTY - 1
And then there's the ducting that runs from the fender wall inlet to the air cleaner (which you appear to be missing):
DUCT, AIR CLEANER INT
PNC CODE - 11089
P/N - MD069400
QTY - 1
Although, you most certainly can get one from a local junkyard both quicker and cheaper than ordering it.
A little insider-info: get your oil filters and drain-plug gaskets from the dealer. They're the best filters for that engine, they're cheap, and (so far for me anyway) they always have them on-hand. I usually buy them by the half-dozen.
BTW: I'm looking these part numbers up using my VIN. Those part numbers that I've given you so far should still be good, but for future reference you may want to PM your VIN to me to be sure.
When I head up there, I'll try to remember to bring a copy of the CAPS program along so you can look these up yourself (unless you've already downloaded it from
