Mitsubishi Repair: 2nd gen crank removal, factory service manuals, service folks


Question
Hi, i have a 95 eclipse rs 2.0 non turbo and i spun a bearing. i took the engine out and i am all the way down to getting the crank out but i cant find a tightening sequence ANYWHERE to take the bottom half of the engine off to get the crank out (or install it back on) is there anyway you could hook me up with a diagram or anything? thanks. Jared

Answer
Jared,
I've checked my factory service manuals and none of them show a specific tightening sequence.  I don't have that much experience with the 2G non-turbo engines, but there are lots of places and people that do.  Check on this site:

If the folks on the forums at that site cannot help you, no one can ;-).  Other than that, you can try to make friends with the service folks at your local Mitsu dealership.  I've gotten a lot of good info from guys at my local dealership that I would never find in my manual.  Ask around and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.
Good luck!
