Still have the wagon. Just time and money. When I have time I have no money, When I have money I have no time. Vicious cycle.

0 cams came from1300/1500 . I have one.

Another wagon .
75wagon you should have built a bigger shed.
Still have my first car. My son has just got his L,s and is eyeing off the wagon to use as a car to learn in.

Nice find still looks pretty tidy.

Interesting. Never seen or heard of this before.Would like to see more pictures of the car.Translates to a GD 4 door sedan 1600 manual but don't know what the x stands for

Warped head probably means overheated at some stage which would cause the water to mix with the oil most probably from the rear water jackets to the oil return galleries when the engine is warm.

looks good and I agree would look better when painted same as body colour

I had this problem many years ago after fitting custom stainless O/S valves to my 4g32. Was fine with a reground cam that I was using at the time when the machine shop installed the valves but when I went back to a stock no6 cam I had the same problem. So out came the grinder to give some clearance....

You are starting to get a collection going there. Where have you been finding these? I have been looking for a parts wagon for a while now. Must not be looking hard enough or in the right places.

?May be a block from a belt driven motor? Have a internet search for a picture of a belt drive 32 head gasket

#6 is a number one suited for emissions am i wrong?

it is the same as a no2 that's found in the 4g32gs motor, same valve timing and lobe heights.

I still think u should try a stock camshaft. The no5 cam was designed for larger carbs than the factory down draughts. I think that daves no5 is a regrind and doesnt draw as much volume of air as an original no5 cam hence why his motor performs. I played around with many stock and reground cams and ...

I would try putting in a standard no 1 or 6 camshaft and see if you still get the pinging. I am guessing that with the 1.5os pistons and works cam u may be running lean at higher rpm. Works motors used the 4g32gs dizzy which had a static timing of 13` btdc and a different advance curve.

Do you have a standard camshaft or is it a regrind? You should do the clearances on a warm motor, .15mm and .25mm I think from memory for a stock camshaft.

If you use the original 4x4 gearbox and transfercase you will not be able to use 4wd on the bitumen without getting gearbox wind up. 4wd is only designed for offroad use.

32 and 33 heads are the same. Do you need a square or round port head?

It is a pre-Astron 80 Astron. As in before they put in the balance shafts. Will post pic I have of an original Astron when I get home. This is the true astron 1 motor. They started with the 4G51 1850 then came the 4G52 2000. These came in the gc/gd style galants and gto,s. Mitsubishi then installed...

Colt galant GTO wagon
Think it may be a gb with gto front. Seen it before. Looks cool.

Looked like a great day. Good to see the mitsubishi's in force. Some great looking cars on display.

I had one as a company car years ago.It got shared around alot and was never serviced and ended up with the same problem. I'd say its probaly only had an oil change once a year and the bores are glazied. U could try an oil flush and fresh oil to try and deglaze the bores and free up the rings otherw...

Would love to see an electric motor in a galant, but how deep is your wallet.

Early block on exhaust side has extra water galleries just looked at a gregories, u probaly have the early head gasket on now. U will need the later head gasket to block off these water galleries.

early head gasket may have extra holes that end up in the pollution pump exhaust gallery of the later model head. What head gasket did u use? AJ690 or BD010

Not what i wanted to hear. Thanks brugs. It is running lean though. Pings under load below 3k I will check coolant flow.. Retard the timing a bit, if running lean and pininig you are creating extra heat and also destroying your rings and will eventually do the head gasket or crack a piston and dest...

4wd gearbox wont work. They connect to a transfer case and have a different rear extension housing,plus use linkages to shift. I had a l300 4wd for 13 years.

This is good news that at least you get the car back and it doesnt get scraped or crushed.

GC Hardtops with auto transmission have the same style as the manual console but with the auto shift plate.
