Hi guys, just been trying to find out whether this is a genuine turbo vr4 engine iv been looking at, the number is 4G 63 , GE 4675, iv been looking all over the net but cant find anything relating to engine numbers, thanks for any help cheers.
Looks like a VR4 motor, that flywheel is from a VR4, its deffinatly a 6 Bolt which is a VR4 (EVO's are 7 Bolts). Intake looks VR4 because it has Cyclone/Turbo/Intercooler. If deffinatly a 2.0L block with the 4G63 engine number.
Rocker cover is wrong, AFAIK all VR4's were red, NA's/4G61T's and EVO's are that colour, but they are easily swapped.
Cant see the oil filter housing, looks like its been removed, VR4's have Oil/Air or Oil/Water coolers.
If its a factory VR4/EVO 1/3 motor it will/should have oil squirters. unless they were removed during the rebuild. but the seller is saying it doesnt, so either he thinks VR4 blocks dont have squirters (incorrect) or he didnt rebuild the motor himself.
Silver rocker covers are simply a series adjustment from the factory, they were prevalent between mid 88 and the start of '90. No aspec or usdm vr4 will have it however. I have 6 silver rocker covers.
Early 63's break rocker covers all the time, so don't be suprised if that's not the original one, the colour is irrelevant really.
