All freshen up

Today i brought my slab to the garage for some minor services and a fine tune. Founded that my air filter is already short lived, it is replace with a protong oem drop-in air filter... although i really wanted a K&N. Then founded that my spark plug has also wore off, all 4 were replaced.

My tepet(valve clearance) has also been making noise so it has to be adjusted. This problem is very common in mitusbishi engines, Actually every cars has this tepet sound too. It goes like 'tak tak tak tak tak' and it can be annoying sometimes. Even BMWs has this too. But for mitsubishi models, it has to be adjusted more often compare to other cars

This is what is looks like after the engine cover is removed. Saw the valves?

Then some tuning is done to the throttle body air intake system. Now the car feels more responsive and is all set-up for the highways
