Props on your motivation to fix it. Most part out or sell after some minimal issues

[@MiguelDsm]

It gets tough at times bro. But I’ll always keep it going

[@1jzhatch113]

well there ain’t no way miguel is selling his eclipse so😂😂

[@John-md3ld]

Props to you for staying committed to your dsm! You have my sympathy, headgaskets are no fun.

[@MiguelDsm]

Thanks man. Part of the game

[@John-md3ld]

@if it ain't foreign it's borin Depends on a few different things. It really isn't that hard and you could probably do it yourself. Buy an oem gasket and but in some arp headstuds. Cost you like 200 bucks and take about a day.

[@epoxeclipse]

Bisi is awsome 🤘🏼

[@travisslion5006]

Full size radiator, multiple fans, 160 thermostat did the trick for my street car (98 tsi). Good luck homie

[@MiguelDsm]

That’s the plan

[@travisslion5006]

Miguel Dsm good to hear. Look forward to seeing the progress.

U are amazing buddy.. good job i took mine to mechanics to do the same.. . Its been 2 months and no ready yet.. can't wait to drive it. 😆

[@alocal1334]

Work in progress, right man....get an oversized radiator, oil cooler. Turbo timer, and upgrade your cooling fans

[@MrKalashnikov47]

My 8 year old son and I are about to buy a 97 eclipse with a bad head gasket for $300. I can't wait!

[@jdxnc04]

Now you can follow my o-ring video :P

[@MiguelDsm]

Lol

[@nolanstapelfeldt8911]

Man I really feel you when you said you were nervous. My 8 is finally finishing up this week and my dad and I rebuilt motor and put different intake mani ic piping speed density big turbo and mani. I’m shitting bricks my man, I changed so much stuff and I’m so nervous to have that turn over.

[@MiguelDsm]

I know that exact feeling. Good luck!

[@Michael-lg4wz]

Its quite nerver wracking the first time. If u got oil pressure (get a gauge) and it turns nice byhand you are halfway there

[@ambitiousm.jproduction3315]

Props to you man! Trust me, I know what it’s like own a Evo and a Dsm. When they run, it’s amazing! When they break, it sucks!

[@alanroussel1494]

Now that you know how to do a head gasket you can actually look for cars with a blown one. It's usually a great deal: you can get them for dirt cheap, it can be done in 2 to 3 days, it's a $100/$300 fix if the head isn't wraped and even if it is, it still worths doing the repair depending on the car. Some people says head gasket are a pen in the ass but I disagree, it's a great way to put the head and valves back in shape and it's easier than a clutch because you don't need to work underneath the car.

[@yasmanialarcon6558]

Oh mike soplaste el empaque d eculata bro podes darme algunos tips

[@thebuster737]

Dont be nervous dude y'all's work is pristine!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jpachec88]

Let me know when you want to get ride of it! Haha I used to own a 98 GSX

[@ManuelFlores-vl6xt]

Hey buddy sorry abt this but I’m excited it happen cause I’m sending my stock 2.0l non turbo rs for head gasket can I have a list what all I can fix after head gasket since there taken out the motor and I can just add more parts I’m trying to rebuild the engine and all under hood before my looks out side wise interior will be under construction too

[@epoxeclipse]

I was worried until you showed the lifters soaking in oil, pump those things up. Just something I always do when I start my car after pulling things apart or its been sitting for a minute I disable spark and crank it to get oil primed.

[@E85_STI]

Nice the guy from the machine shop is a veteran..

[@MiguelDsm]

Yes sir!

[@andrewd6736]

Have a pretty modified Gst but having some over heating problems and was wondering if you had oil leaking from the side of the block and front where the block connects to the head

[@brycepenn7982]

Sheeeshh good job on the quick fix though!

[@MiguelDsm]

Yes sir!

[@Khaosgardenz]

I see u have a Evo engine in there was that originally a 420a platform?

[@6gseven539]

That’s cool that you got to do it, it gives you experience and 1st hand knowledge

[@MiguelDsm]

Agreed

[@StephenBrewer89]

Having Bisi himself touching your car, FULL WIN!!!

[@GhostDigital2k]

That sucks but glad to see her back and running.

[@MiguelDsm]

Yes sir!

[@ulisesvazquez7835]

How come you didn't get a state ref!

[@rikatuve]

Que tal Mike, ya te dio dos broncas el DSM... no será por que tienes un radiador muy pequeño?? me imagino que no alcanza a refrigerar bien el anticongelante y el motor, como es muy caliente necesita del doble ventilador como el OEM. No se tu que opinas...

[@rendiix4269]

Wow lo madreaste muy pronto jajaja

[@S240sx24]

If the car is built right, then no worries should occur running on the dyno. But running a car that long after so much hard work on a base map tune that runs bad, with a half radiator i may add is asking for trouble. I would have never risked that chance after all that work.

[@StephenBrewer89]

Part of owning a dsm. Go ahead and stud it with a cometic

[@evolee8949]

Hell yeah bro I’m excited for the E85 tune.

[@MiguelDsm]

Stay tuned!

[@MrTrill409]

Bro!!!! Sell me your white Eclipse!!! I can’t find one in decent shape!

[@brettbarker7]

My GST just blew a head gasket, and possibly jumped time when it did. About what can on expect to pay to have these repairs done?

[@madcurls9655]

It's been a while since I've seen your videos but it's good to know you're sticking to it and that you have a good mechanic shop.

[@myrondelcid5370]

Nice Miguel keep it up bro loving the videos looking forward on eclipse and Evo builds 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MiguelDsm]

Thanks bro!

[@leicymacias906]

Al principio vi tu mirada bien triste 😔 y quería llorar yo tmb 😢 Y luego vi lo que se le tenía que hacer al motor 😳😱 Pero después de escuchar tu suspiro de preocupación de ojalá y encienda y todo esté bien!! Que fue lo mejor!!! 🤗 Y al final del vídeo ver tu mirada ya feliz.. que emoción... sentimientos que solo un eclipse nos puede generar 🥰

[@MiguelDsm]

No me llores 😅 pero es parte de tener eclipses. Mientras que uno no se rinda todo se puede

[@adrianvazquez4215]

After the tune you should make a video on how much money you spent on all parts including original purchase of the dsm!

[@MiguelDsm]

Good idea 👌🏼

[@blakeslavin5676]

The Joy's of owning a DSM right? It's a good thing they are so much fun when they're running to make up for all the $hit you have to deal with. Keep it up bro

Bro do you use 2 Mitsubishi Esclipse 1995? One for sports use and another for daily drive?

[@daltongarris3297]

Found this car a while back, been an inspiration ever since! Hard to find clean ones that aren’t super expensive in NC

[@pedro_0o]

really looking forward to getting one soon, ive watched most of your videos and love your appreciation for the car

[@KiwiTheKiwi24]

Go back to full radiator. Half rad is not ideal for a street driven car. I struggled a lot with mine on the evo.

[@5PYZ3R]

You knocked that out really fast, well done. Quality job. I've done this on my EG and my 2G. Bisimoto's shop seems really awesome! he even gave you a table! the egg carton is brilliant

[@petridish24]

How much did it cost to get the head resurfaced?

[@luisestrada3005]

Great video. And as far as the head gasket goes better to get it done now then finding out when you don’t know it. I also have to get my gsx dynode think I’m having the same problem as you are though 😂 😅

[@MiguelDsm]

Guess it’s pretty common to feel that way haha

[@user-ov7wv6fd3d]

I was really tempted about a year ago when I saw a gsx for $800 with relatively minor problems. Then I remembered $800 for the car, plus $2k to get it running well plus, $5k to actually get it running well, plus $8-10k to make sure it keeps running well, plus $3-5k to make it look decent, plus another $3-5k to mod and modernize it, and finally another few grand every few months for the rest of the time I own the car, because there will be problems. On Bob if I ever win a big lotto bet on me having a gsx, FD rx7, and an AWD old yota in the driveway. Till then though...

[@vsparky6967]

Next year I get a learner's permit

[@MiguelDsm]

Dope!

[@bishoujokai]

project car life, I know the feeling as I have an mirage coupe with an evo 6 front end and drive train

[@jdxnc04]

I think I heard you say "thermal intake manifold gasket", that's the plasticy one right? I know on a DSM you need to block the EGR port to use it or it will melt the gasket, I'd assume it's the same on an Evo.

[@MiguelDsm]

I’ll look into it, thanks

[@jdmchickkustomz9417]

Losiento DSM brother!😥

[@MiguelDsm]

All good!

[@mikester9673]

I’m certain the dyno won’t be bad you guys always seem to put a lot of work and effort into your builds where others just slap it in and call it good. My guess is going to be somewhere at 340Hp

[@MiguelDsm]

Guess welle see!

[@fullweezy3553]

Banger your videos are great because you show the ups and the downs you go thru with these cars keep up the awesome work big ups to bisimoto for being a great resource for the channel lately good to see car guys help each other out

[@mmmDeez]

Condolences and thanks for filming the process! Learning from you. If you're ever stranded in the Alhambra area, DM me. I feel bad watching you break down on the road. My head gasket went while on the 710N at the Cesar Chavez exit on an uphill incline. Embarrassing moment and held up traffic until a flatbed arrived.

[@MiguelDsm]

Haha part of the game man! & thanks for the offer!

[@reynaldorivera7641]

It’s funny when it isn’t happening to me. Twice on my integra I had to do this within 2 months . Second time valve broke and the gears in the distributor broke teeth. I repaired it got it tuned and sold it

Just got my second DSM, its a 1g this time with the 4g63 instead of a 2g with the 420a. pretty beefed motor, any recommendations on anything for me?

[@calmgeek6885]

You waited too long and hit it while it was un tuned that could have put stress on the cylinder 3 and the head gasket it may no seem that it never overheat but it could have just doit while it was under too much stress

[@red_dragonracingsilvereclipes]

I was afraid of that on the photo shoot our engine's is so touchy when it comes to over heating that if you bury it in the red consider the gasket cooked.

[@MiguelDsm]

Yea man :/

[@red_dragonracingsilvereclipes]

@@MiguelDsm consider it a good thing Miguel now you know the head gasket is good plus you had a five angle valve job done on one side so this may even help with a power boost.

Any car blows a head gasket from getting hot..

[@nicktunesnemesisperformanceINC]

So you primed the lifters in oil before you installed them??? I’ve been told this is a big no no.Always bleed them after to make sure they are soft if they go in with too much oil you can bend the valves.
