Wish i lived there would came down with the fto powered colt for a tappet adjusting day maybe ill move over soon bring the colt with me

[payaya]

Is that what a mivec sounds like after an adjustmenton that video? That's still sounds very rough and ticky??

Should tape my GR is let you guys what the 6A12 should sound like

[Daniel2019]

The clicking in mine is partly a pulley/pulleys

[Vectose]

I should take a video and show you what the 6A12 should sound like after 5500rpm Payaya.

Wouldnt be able to hear the MIVEC over:

a) Your "THWOOP" air induction
b) That god damn squeeking noise!

(Cant rip on me for rust - it's silent )

Until it starts collapsing out your undercarriage and onto the road.

The rust is still silent. Its everything else that falls that makes noise.

But yes.. touche

[Vectose]

Ahh, you do know a pod filter accentuates the sound of MIVEC right?

1. You can't even hear the squeak when you go past 5500rpm
2. I will be fixing the squeak within the next week
3. My car won't fall apart at 5500rpm

Here is a video


You can hear the suspension squeak at the beginning and end

Doesnt your pod box whistle because its enclosed loosely or am I thinking or someone else?

[Vectose]

Someone else mate.

Just read throught his whole thread Great job guys

As for the tensioner adjustment tool, would this work? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mitsubishi-B ... 5d2eda46aa

Did you end up buying this? Was it the correct fit for our engine?

And Payaya, have a closer read of the manual ffs
You have a GR, it has hydraulic tappets as you pointed out for valve clearance adjustment, not that you can adjust them of course.
Our superior GPX Mivec engines don't, the 'Arm Spring' in the photos with the blue arrows that you keep referring to as a 'lifter' has nothing to do with valve clearance adjustment, it's sole purpose is to 'damp' the Mivec rocker when it's in 'floating' mode while not engaged, ie when our superior engines are spinning at less than 5500rpm.

Ended up buying one from Meek for about $25.
