We have some members in this club with original 2.6 Mitsubishi motors. Now, I have heard from Allpar and other sources that with proper maintenance, these motors can go in excess of 200,000-300,000
miles. Yet, they can be susceptible to a host of maladies if not maintained. The biggest of which includes funky Mikuni carb, cracking jet valves or block?, and smoking from lifters that need to be adjusted.
Can someone give a clean, unbiased opinion about the motor, how to maintain it, and what weak points to solve or watch out for?
