or for a more in depth manual, mr airsoft is there.

Its pretty simple. Remove and mark the spark plug wires, all wires going to the manifold and throttle body.

Then unbolt the manifold and take it off with the throttle body still attached, don't remove any electrical components just disconnect the wiring harnesses

after that is done unbolt the heads and pull them off.

Thanks for all your help. This is exactly what we were looking for. I'll be sure to post back and let you know how it turns out.

we will be waiting for you, be sure to check and double check all BEFORE and AFTER.

Hey,

Did you ever get the problem fixed?

Best, Ken

Engine Mechanical problem
1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 100+ miles

have a 97 eclipse. recently broke timing belt, so this meant bent valves and the hole shabang. Removed the valve cover, and found the bent valves. Need instruction on how to remove cylinder head(what needs to be remove) and would like to know if any one could send me engine diagrams.

is this a turbo or non-turbo engine?

not turbo, 2.0l 16 valve
