Yes, yes, these are the people that made the famous v6 for Chrysler that was a piece of sh*t. I know, because my daughter had a car with one of those engines. Japanese engineering indeed. 
Actually, that engine was NOT a piece of sh*t, I owned a van with one that I built, and built a couple for customers. The only issue they had was dropping the valve guides when the engines got warm. The early FJR's had the same issue. There was a replacement guide available that would prevent that from happening. Ft the heads with the upgraded guides and those engines would rock for a long time. Also, if I remember my automotive history, Mitsubishi developed the first dual balancer system for inline 4's back in the 1920's. Steve
