Installing An Evo X Oil Pump On A Dodge Caliber Rusty Nuts Media 2026-05-08 | In this video, I walk through the process of converting your Dodge Caliber 2.4L (or any other version 2.4L 4B12 or WORLD engine) over to an Evo X high volume turbo oil pump. The factory OEM oil pump for the 2.4L SRT4 engine is discontinued from MOPAR so this is the next best option. There are kits available online, but for anyone wanting to piece the kit together themselves, or choose which brands or pieces they would like to use, here is the guide on which parts are needed. You could save money by choosing cheaper brands, or by finding parts on eBay like I did for a few of these. Rockauto has most of these components in stock for cheap, and STM typically carries all of the Mitsubishi parts you will need.Part numbers I used:CRP75A- Ultra Power- caliber 1.8- Oil panBG5558- Melling- caliber 2.4- Upper timing chain fixed railBT5557- Melling- caliber 2.4- Upper timing chain tensioner railBT5559- Melling- caliber 2.4- Upper hydraulic timing chain tensionerMN183897- Mitsubishi- evo x- Lower oil pump chain fixed rail95967- Cloyes- genesis 2.0- Lower oil pump chain tensioner railM509- Melling- evo x- Turbo high volume oil pumpMN183895- Mitsubishi- evo x- Double row crankshaft sprocketMN183899- Mitsubishi- evo x- Oil pump sprocket1140A073- Mitsubishi- evo x- High quality upper timing chainMN183896- Mitsubishi- evo x- Lower oil pump chainSRT-4 Gear- Conversion hardware kit12x1.5 button head plug10mm x 25mm dowelHere at Rusty Nuts Media, we cover automotive events, car shows, part reviews and installs, giveaways, and a few project cars.

Is The Harbor Freight Toolbox Worth It? Rusty Nuts Media 2026-05-01 | In this video I go over my 2 years in service 56” US General roll cab, 56” hutch, and 22” locker from Harbor Freight. My biggest complaint comes from the very beginning: damaged during shipping. This has affected the bottom two drawers since the day I bought it. The rails seem to be misaligned slightly near the damaged area. The unlocking mechanism on the drawers is a flimsy plastic and can be difficult if you don’t open it just right. The locker door is definitely not as structured as it could be as it wiggles for 30 seconds every time it’s opened. Other than that, I have had zero functional complaints over the last two years with this product. I plan on buying another one to increase my storage and hopefully the next one isn’t damaged.
