Okay, here's a serious question... I've been in touch with RPW (finally found them) and they say that they have NO shortstick kits for rear wheel drive! Where did you find yours... surely the Triton is not a front wheel drive vehicle???

stupid problem solved... leaky bypass hose! did not damage head or gasket... running just fine now! embarking on long awaited mods. Wondering where you found your cam??? can't find RPW on the net. Also, your shifter kit... where did that come from?

Okay, I have to ask... what's up with the overheating problems I'm having with my mitsu 2.6? I think I've just blown another head, and this one was a new job supposedly made of better alloy with more heating passages. I religiously monitor coolant et al but on the way up the hill that I live on tonight the temp skyrocketed and by the time I hit my driveway steam was pouring out of the driver's side of the engine (don't know if block or head)... anyone else have these problems???
