Oh my gawd, lol. Clean the screen and probably replace head gasket. Have head checked for flatness when removed because these Mitsubishi engines love to warp the heads when baked. Might as well pull the engine and work on it that way. Just go through and look for problems.



90% clogged? with what? I would think the filter would of caught the crap instead of the screen. Did you have the car at a mechanic lately, where they possibly could of done something to provoke that clog? . I have never heard one of them screens clogged up like that, EVER!

SOURCE: 1995 Mitsubishi Diamante is overheating. Oil

the symptoms are that you have a burnt head gasket, its consuming the water into the cylinders and at the same time it builds combustion pressure in the cooling system causing it to overheat, and when it overheats it makes the oil loose viscosity so you loose oil pressure, i recommend not driving the car any more and the first solution is to replace the burnt gasket, and change your oil, go to a local shop and only do these they probably tell you the engine is worn but the problem is what i told you above, make them replace the thermostat unit yes to be sure good luck

I have a 2002 jeep liberty help with the tapping noise and stalling

The tapping is the valves hitting against the buyer upper part of engine. The stalling is most likely the computer shutting down engine. You might have engine damage. The tapping comes and goes according to engine rpm the higher the rpm the louder the tapping. If I was have it towed to u mechanic and have them run test engine might be beyond repair

Metal noise coming from the engine, but engine still runs

I wouldn't drive it till you find the problem. It could be almost anything? Check oil pressure. If you think the noise is internal engine and comes from bottom of engine, check for metal in the oil pan, metal in the oil pan is not a good sign. Don't drive it.

I hit a rock on the front end of my Subaru Legacy 1993. I pierced the oil pan, not much else has little scraps on it. i live no more than 10 miles away from where this happened so i put gum over the hole...

in the oil pan(sump) there is an oil pick up pipe and a filter on the end of it. The pan being damaged the oil pick up was probably bent and hitting on the big ends or the balance of the crank shaft. have the pan pulled and check for damage on the oil pipe and pick up filter. Replace the pipe and filter as they will be cracked or fractured and in future will break and the pump will run out of oil.==engine failure.

CHEVY 2500HD 2004 6.0 GAS THOUGHT THE FLEX PLATE WAS BAD BUT ITS NOT. SYMPTOMS A NOISE IN THE OIL PAN BEHIND HARMONIC BALANCER NOT A KNOCK BUT SOMETHING SOUNDS LIKES ITS RUBBING. ALSO HAVE BEARING NOI

Engine noises are hard to diagnose when following a description.
Have you tried a stethoscope or a socket extension pressed against the pan to isolate the location?

It is possible a crankshaft bearing or a connecting rod bearing has spun or is scored. If you can confirm the noise is in the bottom end of the engine and its approximate position it's time to remove the caps looking for a failed bearing.

The block transmits noises very efficiently so be sure the noise is not being transferred from a different location.

Here some info on the bottom end:

NO OIL PRESSURE. 243,000 MILES. NOT OVERHEATING. SEEMS LIKE NOISE IS COMING FROM TOP OF ENGINE.

With that many miles on the engine it could be sludged up or the oil pump could be failing.

I have a very loud noise coming from the engine and my oil gauge has now stopped working and just lays over to the L

Sounds potentially terminal. Check your oil level on the dip stick. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle if you suspect loss of oil, best to have it towed in neutral. Check that the engine is first OK: drain out the oil and remove the pan/sump from the bottom of the engine. Check pan interior for any debris. Look at crank, connecting rods, big end and main bearing shells.
