I'm late to the show. Happy to see the Talon in its natural habitat... garage on jack stands. Mine is currently on its crutches too had to resurface all the turbo flanges for new gaskets.
Thanks for the awesome video man.! Imma have to replace the HG on my spyder soon and I've been scared to death because I've been afraid of the timing belt myself. Any other video seems to over complicate things and explain it all weird but thanks to your video I'm confident I won't have any issues when I decide to do it.! (I will, however, will be doing something different that you didn't do, and that's break down and buy the "cam gear insert holder" that you place in between the cam gears to hold them in place. Thanks for the help my dude.!
Also, you should consider using the 3KGTVR4 master cylinder. Since it was designed for 4 piston calipers, and would give you the most bite as far as OEM MC’s go. Can’t wait to see the Big brake upgrade.
so I have a stock 98 eclipse GST I was going to replace the head gasket on. Are there any other key components that I should look into replacing while I have it taken apart?
When you replace the head gasket it's always a great time to replace the timing belt! Other things that go along with that would be the water pump and timing tensioner. Spendy to do all of them but worth it since you have to pull them all off anyways. Good luck with it!
If U get the Timing Belt done make sure U USE OEM one or very good one like Gates and U might as well replace the Crank Angle sensor since they located near there on 2Gs. IF ur Timing belt slips or brakes ur engine if fucked.
I have a 97' 2g GS-T its a manual transmission And im having trouble With the rpms When i let go of the gas peddle while driving it turns off, When in park one of the radiator fans turns off (driver side) and the rpms go high and as well in park when i step on the gas to go up to 1500 or 2000 even 2500 and let go of the peddle the rpms get low to 500 and under and immediately the car turns off I just installed a brand new Base idle set screw but the rpms still go up and down And also my exhaust is broken from the manifold could that be part of it? A/C is on through out everything i mentioned but still reacts the same sorta when A/C is off in idle but What do yall think it could be?
Sounds like a vacuum leak 2g has alot of vacuum lines. Also how bad is the crack in manifold could be a problem if your losing to much exhaust pressure the turbo won't spool as it should.
@@soulsnatcher9228 well its been a month since then and i found out that there wasnt a crack on the manifold it was actually a flex pipe that was leaking so i got a new piece for it and welded it on to it and its sounds better and for the vaccumm lines my father and i kinda...sorta figured out the vacuum lines and its in better shape than before but still reacts the same way but not as severe I replaced the idle air control as well and the idling changed a bit as well And a new 690cca battery and alternator but! Theres a new problem! On a cold start the cars idle goes really loooooowwwwwww the car shakes quite a bit and then it spikes up and repeats the same thing until it warms up And when im driving the RPMs spike up to almost 2k Any thoughts? On what it could be?
What parts R using and where U buying em? Water pump is Gates believed that what said(most DMS swear to only use AISIN but it pricey....)? Man dunno how cats can do a timing belt on any car with the engine still in the car.
@@Al3xTalon never tried those cats...personally use "Cherry Hill KIA MITSUNISHI" they R a certified dealer in New jersey they sell only OEM since they r dealer n have good prices slightly lower than others n even have an ebay store.
@@Al3xTalon makes sense i like your channel man I got a 1ga stock block wiyha 50 trim turbo made 334whp on pump gas. I'm in the process of building a 2.3 for are 550-600hp though

The talon is currently turn key waiting for spring (besides an oil leak that I’ll fix when it’s warm) 😊
dropping in a built block. i like to be very thorough in my research before i touch anything. this video was very helpful, thanks bro.
Awesome series! Glad to see another person in the DSM community making cool videos!
Jo Go Journal Thanks! Glad you like it. I’m happy to be able to share all of this with you guys.

BoostedCajun I will look into it. Thanks for the info 👍
Looking good man!! Can't wait to see the FP Black on the car
Seth Varro Thanks dude! Me too!
Good video man. Im digging the engine work videos. Keep it up 🤙
Anthony Mimnaugh Thanks man!
Timing has always been a scary adventure for me.
It’s gotten less so but still makes the butt pucker haha
Hey bro, how did you clean the block surface after you removed the head? Im always worried ill scratch the surface
On the 7 bolt the timing mark for crank is on the left
4g67 105 ft-lb anyway?
What did you use to clean up the block surface/pistons etc? Or what was the process you did to clean them so good?
I used a scotch brite pad and some simple green! It took a lot of time.
Wow bro seem like you are learning as you go good job 👍 what kind of head gaskets did you use ?
Carlos Torres Yeah this car has taught me a TON. I used an OEM MLS gasket.
longer bolts with some washers in between would have allowed you to keep your flywheel on. tip for next time.
How do you tell if its a 6 bolt or 7 bolt
Nice!!!
so I have a stock 98 eclipse GST I was going to replace the head gasket on. Are there any other key components that I should look into replacing while I have it taken apart?

I have a
97' 2g GS-T its a manual transmission
And im having trouble
With the rpms
When i let go of the gas peddle while driving it turns off, When in park one of the radiator fans turns off (driver side) and the rpms go high and as well in park when i step on the gas to go up to 1500 or 2000 even 2500 and let go of the peddle the rpms get low to 500 and under and immediately the car turns off
I just installed a brand new Base idle set screw but the rpms still go up and down
And also my exhaust is broken from the manifold could that be part of it?
A/C is on through out everything i mentioned but still reacts the same sorta when A/C is off in idle but
What do yall think it could be?

I typically get my parts from MAPerformance. They can get you pretty much anything you need.
@@Al3xTalon never tried those cats...personally use "Cherry Hill KIA MITSUNISHI" they R a certified dealer in New jersey they sell only OEM since they r dealer n have good prices slightly lower than others n even have an ebay store.
So what turbo are you going to use since the 68hta is being retired? FP Black?
BoostedCajun Yes sir!
Did you pull the motor just for the head gasket? I did mine in my car in 3 hours
No my transmission had to get rebuilt as well.

What are you doing with the 68?
Not totally sure yet.
If u end up wanting to get rid of it let me know 😁
@@austinmcbride7957 Will do 👊
@@Al3xTalon n if ur 1G-B ever on the market plz let us know. lol
oh lol i thought the head gasket was in between the head and the cover
That's a valve cover gasket
