ooo and if someone knows where to look for a running g75: hit me up :)

This is the first I have heard about this. I can say that when I dissembled mine the crank bearings had some scuff marks but nothing I would call worthy of failure. the only thing I have heard of with the 74 blowing up is a few rods going but as you know in our hobby that can be from just beating on the motor to much.
Never know do you, could be that someone can't tune, or can't use a torque wrench, or that stuck a 200 shot of nitrous in the weekend prior "just to see"
yes but i think its safe to say that dsm headbolts that brent and i have tried are worth using or even the arp hardware should be given a chance.
75 crank is not drilled the same as 74 crank. As far as fasteners, 4 bolt has different requirements so maybe the only option is ARP. Mitsu went cheap and "easy" in the modern years. Most manufacturers had already gone that route. The good old 6g72 is built tough from the junkyard.
yep. like the guy in the link says, he claimes the mains actually stretched. if they did stretch over time then there is no denying that a stronger fastener is needed. arp is not too pricy and they work great.
I am with RW that there is probably a little bit of stupid involved in what might be assumed to be near stock motors having crankshaft problems... Like I ran a bit low on oil while spraying nitrous with no fuel enrichment and good thing my high compression piston or pencil thin rod didn't fail first. :P
The difference in drilling of crankshafts is something I worry about for high performance applications. The 74 crank is cross drilled, the 75 is not.
Stock 6G75 motors, fully forged 6G75 motors all have failed with the same symptoms...stretched main bolts...about 15 thou.Quote:

cya
you cant not think something else was involved.. just go on club 3g and look at how misimformed 90% of them are.
but, if they measured the mains and they are longer than they should be.. regaurdless of what caused it, they should be replaced with something better befote it happens. arp and dsm headbolts sound pretty good when you know your crank is going to wiggle around without them.
wow did you join here just to post that lol still with ondonti here lolQuote:

Yeah maybe the the main bolts stretch over time, thats why i posted it here because we have a couple of people messing with the 3.5/3.8 and we like to do things the right way and make real power.
Not to get into an internet war here but you do realize telling someone something on a computer isn't telling them to their face?Quote:

I think my exact words were "there is probably some stupid involved in stock motors failing," and that is not a statement of fact for all cases. Probably can mean as little as 2% if there are 98 other possibilities that are 1% likely. Turbovanman is a professional mechanic and I am sure many major meltdowns he sees are caused by abuse or lack of PREVENTATIVE maintenance. I blame myself for every single one of my engine failures. I have never had one of my motors fail because of of something Mitsubishi decided to do. If I do something that I know will break the motor I can't blame Mitsubishi for letting that happen. If I break the top of the piston off, I know its my fault because I know what the ring gaps are and that they are not acceptable at a certain level of abuse. The moment you think your main bolts can't handle abuse, you don't abuse them or you fix the situation.
The oiling weakness I am talking about happened on a motor with upgraded fasteners....but was most likely assembled wrong by the machine shop. Factually, 6g75 cranks are not drilled the same as 6g74 crankshafts but Italo just did 1168awhp on his 6g75 crankshaft on twin 67's.
We all know those broken motors were pushed by their owners. Stupid can be as simple as running low on oil. That seems to be a common mistake even for people who love cars. Drive a mitsubishi and you should learn to check the oil at least every 5 minutes of driving lol.
I find crankshaft oiling differences fascinating, I have no interest in talking about some TTY fasteners that a 'built' engine has. 4 bolt main engine stretching main bolts on a boring drive to work car sounds like quite a poor quality fastener or improper assembly or poor torque callout.
