Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southeast Eclipse GSX

I am by no means an expert on Mitsu motors....but our very own Contours suffer from the very same problem of "crankwalk". All 2.5L Duratecs have the same problems. This "crankwalk" is believed to be the cause of the actual oil starvation issue. The "crankwalk" causes the bearings to shave and block the holes where oil would normally enter the chamber....thus increasing friction and frying your engines crank. The solution the Ford has finally chosen to implement is the Dual Mode Dampner. The DMD is now standard on all 2.5 Duratecs over in Europe.

Is there a DMD available for the Mitsu?

Why does the first generation engine not suffer from "crankwalk" where the 2G does if they are the same?? Strange.

Now...the car you are looking at has only 20K on it...that is very, very low.

I'd say go for it. GSX's are pretty rare....I've only seen 2 around town....EVER!!!!

Good luck!
