fuel Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Looks like the bearing didn't like the increase up to 196kw+ Here's the results of 411,000kms on an original 4G37 bottom end: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikuni Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I'd say its probably something to do with the fact it was made by mitsubishi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macabre Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 haah, you will be ok with your boat anchor, purely for the fact that its pitifully low hp output places no stress on the internal components........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Have you pulled apart a VR-4 4G63 recently? Compare the size of the crank, rods to any other engine (ie SR20DET, 3S-GTE) and you will be quite amazed. The 4G63 is very over-engineered and apart from the soft rings are an otherwise robust engine. No engine is immune to running a bearing. That picture I posted above was from Pete's Galant - it had done 411,000kms on the original bottom end. What was thought to be worn valve springs turned out to be excessive bearing clearance causing the piston top to be tapping the head. It got to the point where the noise was so horrible yet it still ran on all four cylinders no problems. As you can see the bearing was worn down so thin it squished out the side of the journal and broke into many peices, along with depositing a metallic paste all through the engine.

lowlancer Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 to quote another esteemed forum member if that was the state of my engine, my battleship would be sunk!! Your battleship=sunk When my stz got rebuilt, first thing rebuilder said was that he was amazed at state of componentry. First 4G he'd done in awhile and said you'd have to really abuse it ie no oil to fuck them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
