Unless you've got one of those pin-hole cameras, then it's almost impossible to check the bore where the valve/Piston sits in.......

You'll notice that there is two parts to the Lower Timing Alloy plate, there's the main plate and then theres a small section which is bolted onto the side corner where the Oil Filter is attached. You should only need to remove that part, which means the Timing cover and timing doesn't need to be touched and re-done :beer

You haven't had the balance-shafts removed have you by any chance ? Cause if so, then you need to 'port' out the relief valve ports to flow the extra pressure away.

What a joke.... LOL

Firstly, have you got the Oil Pressure sensor which came with the Aftermarket gauge or are you trying to read the Factory Mitsubishi one with the Aftermarket gauge ?

Excessive blowby will do sweet fuk all to the pressure reading, if your dipstick is not popping off under Boost, then you have no blowby issues :wink: I had the dipstick popping out with 20% Cylinder pressure loss to give you an idea of how much Blowby you may have ?

Have the balance-shafts been removed from the Engine or has it still got them ?
