Variable Cam Timing?
I looked around and searched the forums, and found someone else that had the same problem as me.
I "clunking" noise that sounded like an engine knock coming from the valvetrain area, which turned out to be a cracked cam in his case, but in mine, I was old that its my VCT, or Variable Cam Timing.
Ive searched around and can find no information on this, so I was wondering if one of the Mitsu Guru's here could help out?

???What shop is this? Take a vid, as the engine bay has numerous ticking sounds that are all completely normal. Might just be the lifters ticking away
If the timing chain was stretched the car has a warning system for that. If you installed aftermarket cams it is possible to install them out of sync (by a tooth or two) and they would still run, but not very well.

Ill take a video of it after work, and I have stock scams. The place is called Engine Rebuilders, and they said the can timing is off, but he may mean valve timing. This shop isn't a Mitsu place, so he may not know exactly what its called, but he said for sure its the Timing adjustment?
