SOURCE: Where is the starter located on a 1989 Mitsubishi Mighty Max
See Figure 1
The
starter motor is located on either the lower right hand (passenger) or
left hand (driver) side of the engine, bolted to the transmission
housing with two mounting bolts.
Removal and installation of the starter motor will require access from both the top and bottom of the engine compartment.

heavy component, be careful when lifting it out of the vehicle

SOURCE: Torque specs for mighty max
Per my Chilton's manual tehe bolts should be (cold engine) 65 to 72 FT. Pnds., the cam shaft bearing bolts should be 8x25 = 15 - 19 Ft pnds and the 8x65 should be 14 - 15 Ft Pnds.
The sequence is as follows for the (10 ) head bolts:
7 - 5 - 2 - 4 - 10
9 - 3 - 1 - 6 - 8
I hope this may help,
Tom

the 88 2.6 has a timing chain not a belt a back fire could as simple as to rich carb or just an exhaust leak...
SOURCE: replace valve seals on a 1988 mitsubishi mighty
The safest way is to remove the head and work on a bench. With the use of a special tool you can change the valve seals with the heads on (worst case scenario you drop a valve and have to remove the head to retrieve it). When you remove the overhead cam or the rockers all the valves will be closed. If you remove the spark plug and screw in an air nozzle hooked up to an air compressor you can remove the valve springs, with a valve spring compressor, and replace the stem seals. It will take about 100 psi and you will want to replace the seals one at a time. You should be able to buy the air compressor fitting for the spark plug hole from Mac or Snap-on. I made one from an old spark plug by knocking out the porcelain and attaching a hose and air line fitting (risky, but it worked on my Goldwing)
SOURCE: where do you set the
Remove sparkplugs. Turn the engine by hand/wrench so that number 1 cylinder(closest to the radiator is on the compression stroke at top dead centre(TDC) Do this by closing the plug hole on number 1 cylinder by hand and feeling for pressure as the engingine is rotated. When you feel pressure that is the compression stroke. Now rotate the engine until the mark on the crankshaft damper pulley lines up with the 0 mark on the cambelt cover. 
Remove the distributor cap and note where the rotor arm is pointed. That would be the Plug wire number 1 position. Distributor rotation is clockwise so starting from this position connect the plug wires clockwise to cylinders 1-3-4-2. In the diagram the distributor cap is shown as you would see it when looking at the top of the cap(looking from the left side of the engine)
If the distributor was removed then fit the distributor cap. Make a mark on the distributor body correpondinding to where the plug wire 1 would connect to. 
Remove the cap and extend the mark to the lip of the distributor so that it would be visible once the ditributor is fitted. Refit the distributor so that once the distributor is fully seated the rotor points to this mark. Note that the rotor will turn as the distributor is being inserted so this may take more than one try to get the mark matched to the rotor. Also check that once seated the holddown bolt hole is more or less in the middle of the slot in the distributor or you may not be able to adjust timing. Adjustment of the ignition timing should be done with the engine at operating temperature. The idle speed should be correct and if you are at high altitude(above 3900 feet/1300 metres) the electrical connection to the boost sensor on the fender must be disconnected. Also disconnect the the vacuum pipe with the white stripes(if fitted) from the vacuum advance mechanism and plug the pipe.
