180000. No tow drove it like bout 1/2 mile. Ran ok. Just the loud noise coming from engine. Not hard driver .. i take kids to school and drive to work. Total bout 1 1/2 miles .
My first thought is that it could be the lifters. I spoke to a mechanic at a Mitsu dealer and bearing or rod problems are rare, but they do see a lot of bad lifters.
Or it could be a water pump failure. Listen to this YouTube video and tell me if this is the same https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPxsYLkNpeo
or there is a famous Mitsibushi "Tick"......did u know? see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SpJ_Jm76l4
Glad to assist, anytime!
God bless your travels today and always
