RUNAMUCK Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 This week I took leave of my sences, and bought a fucking mitsubishi. It was cheap, not running, and seemed to have low kms. Got it running tonight, and guess what? It blows blue. It had 90,000kms put on it by some 90 years old. So it probably has glazed as fuck bores/mitsubishi oil rings are shit. My plan is to fill it up with stop smoke, try get a wof, and let my Mum drive it while I take her volvo off the road to fix it. Then sell it quick snap! I've always used Lucas, or Moorey's heavy duty oil stabiliser. But since we're talking about a rubbish fire on wheels here, (aka a mitsi) I'd like to hear what others have found works good. Is motor up worth trying? (Do they even sell it still?) Discuss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 You could get creative with JIF and send that into the running engine to give it an in-service hone. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 If I thought it would work, I'd give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegreatestben Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 That's for noise not really so much smoke. Penrite make some crazy thick oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Fuchs Titan dose a straight 50 weight oil or that penrite 25w70 Or you could make some kind of bong system and bubble the exhaust through water in the boot. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 give it a good fang'in. it might just need a good chooch. ogre's original 1200cc engine in the green lancer was like that. nana'd too much. thrashed it over the saddle road a couple of times and it stopped blowing the oil cap out of the rocker cover. also try jif for realz.

Ned Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I had a mitsi or 2 that smoked. And any of the generic stop smokes from Repco seemed to do a good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 good ol drain the oil at wof time ned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 These guys have the right idea - change the oil right before WOF check with some of the heavy duty stuff - straight 50 or 60 weight Pennzoil/Penrite is good. However I dunno about this Jif/Brasso thing - I've heard people say it but always passed it off as a joke. Something about pouring abrasives into a fine tolerance engine that just does not seem right. Also this forum has it's trolls so I struggle to take a lot of what is said at face value.

RUNAMUCK Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 I actually wish I'd never bought it tbh. After the 90 year old was done, the peeps I bought it from put another 70k on it. So it's only done 160k. She's a bit puffy at the cam cover breather too. I might slam some atf in it, and run it for a while to desludge it inside. Might unstick the rings. Last mitsi I ever buy I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crustywhip Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Theres a secret mix that not many people know about so il share. Take 20ml of oil from 15 different cars that havnt run in at least 5 years, now these cars must be no further than 5 metres apart as environmental conditions must be similar. Mix the samples together with the skin off one banana and add this mix to the effected engine. Bananas can be brought at the diary and you should be fine with the rest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
