I have been watching this channel for YEARS and think this man packs in more quality info per vid than just about anyone. It has been a long time since the rehoming of my last gen 1 eclipse and I still miss the 5 of them that were in my stable. I had some good times with them and some CATASTROPHIC failures (the turbo was EPIC). Thx Jafro for your dedication to the brand!!! The 4g63 is nothing short of a BEAST!
Sensei Jafro back again to teach me I still don't know enough about engines and Mitsubishi's and that I missed some details when assembling my Evo 3 head last time. Glad you are using the best cam's around all the way from my home country.
7:55 the icecube tray is SUCH a brilliant idea. Like, you couldn't get any more perfect of an idea, even if you designed it specifically for the job. Nice! 16:44 you don't need to double nut tho, just take a cap nut, drop a tight fitting ball bearing in the cap and that's that. The threads will grip the stud and all the force will be sent through the bearing ball. Removal is another story, but for putting them on, you only need that cap.
Jafro has been ahead of the game for years ! I learned so much because of him and definitely wouldn't be were im at on my build if it wasn't for him ! #legend
Great to see another video from you Jaffro, It's like an old friend popping around for a drink and spending the night reminiscing. Catch you next time bud, the Galant gonna be EPIC!
Watching this after a decade makes me feel so much better that my own AWD Civic Project has not been completed. I got a lineup of similar videos coming but on Honda B Series :) Love the content Jafro!
Another great job Jafro but don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda civics with spoon engines. And on top of that he just went into Harry's and he ordered three T66 Turbos with NOS. And a Motec exhaust system.
If you run that last bit before the credits at double speed you will hear a secret message. Run it backwards and the lights start to flicker and you can hear a noise like a lifter ticking..... 😂
That Glyptal valve cover is actually polished. The one here is powder coated. Galants and other JDM Mitsubishis came with a red valve cover originally, so I had it redone to stay on-theme. I had a snapped off piece of casting repaired, too... because this valve cover says "MITSUBISHI" on it. Kinda rare because NONE of the DSMs do. So I got it fixed. Actually Detective Coating did it for me.
You know I totally missed an opportunity to talk more about that. I have to go back in there again when I bolt it on and degree cams, so I will... but just sayin'.
@@Jafromobile I look forward to the video, valve covers are totally one of those eye-candy pieces on the car, in the 240z community, people look out for the ones that just say NISSAN on them, with no reference to the displacement (2400/Turbo). Please do talk about crank case ventilation, and modifications to the cover if you get the chance.
Polishing the CC does have merit, if nothing else, because it stops a fair decent amount of schmutz from gripping unto the surface. I was unconvinced of the claim, didn't want to invest the time to do it on a full engine, so i did it on a B&S engine from a mower. Where before it would always (eventually) get a build up, it hasn't except for the areas where pitting already existed and i didn't bother to fix or go deeper. Jm2c.
I wonder if old school bodywork lead would work for filling pits in aluminum like that. It still involves heat, but not nearly as much as welding. Although, probably not nearly as cheap as epoxy, I'd imagine.
LOL! Bro your YT -username is gold! I just don't know how you'd get lead to stick to aluminum? That's the tricky part. I think epoxy might be my best bet? It blends right in once I cut it down with the file. It's invisible once the valve cover's on it. It's really impressive how unnoticeable it is. Let's just hope there's no oil leak from anything to draw unnecessary attention to it... I think it will do fine!
@@Jafromobile Yeah, that's the conclusion I wound up at after an exhaustive 5 minute Google search. :P Just a thought that popped up as I was watching.
If I'm ever fortunate enough to have someone build an engine for me (don't have the skills or tools just yet but I'm getting there) id definitely want jafro to do it.
@@Jafromobile I think you may need to invest in a quarter dozen moon seals. at least the Kiggly regulators are available, I get it though, hard to justify when the diverter works "fine". At least the Hyundai doesn't need one.
Hey budday, one question, who'd you use to machine the cylinder head? I need work done and need a good machine shop, and that packaging was immaculate.
They are the best in the import world. I am the nobodiest nobody to ever nobody into their shop. My goals don't match the goals of the rest of their customer base. Their customers break world records. But I want to remain both a friend and customer. I was explicitly told in the first 2 minutes of conversation not to promote them on RUclips as they don't need it to stay busy. If I can ever afford their services again, I want to be able to do that. So I have to respect their wishes. I did talk to my Patreons about it because combined with my hard work over the years, they are the only reason I was ever able to afford this. But I've always wanted to bring you all something that was next level... and brother, this is it. It's coming...
$148? Or did you find the parts warehouse listing (which is just a catalog, no warehouse exists anywhere anymore) that was in the $400's? If you really want it, toolsource will make it for you special order for $52 plus shipping. Keep in mind that eBay prices are about 1/3 of what the dealerships used to charge for these tools, and it's why most DSMers don't have them. We were way too poor. $400 can buy an awful lot of horsepower with a DSM.
@@Jafromobile I just searched the part number, first and only site I clicked was like $160 I think. I have no need for this tool, was just curious. I dont even own a Mitsubishi vehicle; I just like the knowledge you spread. I will likely need to reference your rust removal process many times in the future; Ive got an engine thats been waiting for me in the garage for a couple years.
@@Thee_Sinner Brother, look up "electrocleaning", or electrolytic cleaning. I don't think a 3 gallon kit's gonna do ya on an engine block, but you're going to like the next video. I wish I were a part of this block's cleaning process because the Galant block turned out amazing.
You talked about polishing the combustion Chambers. I'm about to build my first set of heads. Is there any advantage to polishing the chambers or is it not worth the time?
I'm happy to report... no! I've got the example of that one coming soon. It's unknown how it holds up with gasoline-free fuels, so until I figure that out I won't put it on anything else. Even if it's fine I probably won't. lol!
We have come full circle like 12 years ago I watched the porting videos of jafro rebuilding heads. Always good
Yep.
I still have PTSD from the head polishing videos.
@@whyarentumadbro I have withdrawals from them

Mitsu tech 85-2005, my g63b cam seal tool is mushroomed, done hundreds....LOVE the content!
Happy new year mister long haired mitusbishi afficionado!
Happy new year, Jafro!
The six million dollar galant, or the Ship of Mitsubishius.
Robotic Galant Chicken!
Like the hair brother! I’ve watched you for years

I gotta say, I really dig the 11mm & 11.8mm lift profile one the sets I have! Looking forward to what this Galant's going to sound like!
been watching for years and i must say you really are a dsm wizard and master
I loved the Dr.Who vibe at the end with the Patreon shout out…!😂😊

Who keeps metric acorn nuts lying around for this? Raise your hands.

Happy new year Jafro, ladie and gents 🎉
This is my favorite RUclips Channel. You do such a great job. Keep it up.
Was in to DSM's for 15yrs+ before I sold my DSM and all my parts back in 2020...but I still love watching the Jafro vids.
Quitter.
@BasedEMT1776 yes
lol!
Watching this after a decade makes me feel so much better that my own AWD Civic Project has not been completed. I got a lineup of similar videos coming but on Honda B Series :) Love the content Jafro!
Liked before watching.
Best voice over videos on YT
same and agreed!
So happy for you to be at this stage... "It's a very exciting time!"
Yay first update of a new year keep up the great work
Another great job Jafro but don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda civics with spoon engines. And on top of that he just went into Harry's and he ordered three T66 Turbos with NOS. And a Motec exhaust system.
Great video I just had my some head work done
Hey jafff Victor here love the video ms so thorough ill see you again in Ohio in September
Jafro you're a legend, great vid
Happy new year bother 🎉
Always great information
The man, the myth, the JAFRO!
Great as always!
I look forward to your videos so much, please never stop. Much love from NYC.
Happy new year from South Wales, UK🏴
Best. RUclipsr. Ever. & always. 👍
Happy New Year brother!
I miss this guy’s voice. It’s been years since I’ve heard it!
If you run that last bit before the credits at double speed you will hear a secret message. Run it backwards and the lights start to flicker and you can hear a noise like a lifter ticking..... 😂
I love this ❤
here i thought winkle black was the coolest color for a valve cover, but the glyptal one that Jafo has is even better.

27:21 LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
One could use zinc or alutite(or similar) to fix the damage.
But for something like that JB is just as good and easier.

Dang two endings and didn’t have to buy the DVD!
Insert my beautiful head on the corner of the table lol
Hey, I gotta pay the bills! lol
@Jafromobile hey I was happy to see it lol
Lady and gents? I saw what you did there... 👀
Nice work!
If I'm ever fortunate enough to have someone build an engine for me (don't have the skills or tools just yet but I'm getting there) id definitely want jafro to do it.
It's been awhile, what's a decade or so between friends?
Well how about I tell you a little bit of information... 😂😂😂
2:10
do you think you wouldnt have to "cc" the combustion chamber?
I just have to ask Jafro... how many EVO half moon seals do you have stockpiled for rainy days?
Well... I have 9 cylinder heads. Fewer than 9, but greater than 5. I'm saddest that I don't have more Kiggly HLA regulators.
@@Jafromobile I think you may need to invest in a quarter dozen moon seals.
at least the Kiggly regulators are available, I get it though, hard to justify when the diverter works "fine".
At least the Hyundai doesn't need one.
I miss the old DSM days. Anyone here move over to the EA888 gen 3?
Since I transitioned, am I the one lady, or do you gotta start saying ladies now? 0:12
Don't forget to update your user profile. Analytics just confirmed... it's still only one.

@Jafromobile I've got a question for you on the valve cover using the Hyundai valve cover fasterners .
You talked about polishing the combustion Chambers. I'm about to build my first set of heads. Is there any advantage to polishing the chambers or is it not worth the time?
he did it because there was a casting flaw on one cylinder. any sharp edges on the metal can cause preignition, like a hot bulb engine.
@martin-vv9lf I asked if there were any advantages to polishing the chambers, not if there WHY he mentioned polishing the chambers.
Because Gamora? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Any power or efficiency gains will be pretty small, but it can help keep the chambers clean by giving carbon less to attach to.
are you gonna paint the inside of the new block with the red stuff you used for that other block long ago?
I'm happy to report... no! I've got the example of that one coming soon. It's unknown how it holds up with gasoline-free fuels, so until I figure that out I won't put it on anything else. Even if it's fine I probably won't. lol!
Great Wall ?
Stay tuned 🤫
