...BobShaw...

I am starting to disike all the lucky people who live in CO... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

I was bitten by the bug when visiting ny bro a few years ago. We spent the better part of a week going from Basalt to Durango, though Uncompagre (sp?) and other "classic" places like Engineer, Imogene, etc. It was across Memorial day weekend and they had just gotten many of the passes opened that week. Come to think of it, Imogene was still under way. I remember seeing the dozer way up there at the end of his day, not to the top yet.

It was awesome, driving through some areas where the skiers were hiking up to the bowls that still had snow left. There were some sections where it was hard to see above the snow on either side of the trails. All that, and the air temp was in the 70s.

Colorado is awesome... We need a 2009 trip to happen. I have a new job an money is finally about to flow again. I could make a trip next year.

Hey Stony, you out there and reading all this? I think it's time we two got together for some Ohio lovin'. Maybe we can track down BobShaw and have us a jamboree!

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="" />



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 http://www.mitsubishilinks.com/fsm/wincaps.zip).

Wow!
...you don't waste any time!

Offtopic: doesn't the CAPS need a special reader?
