So last night my missus was driving home along the M2 and suddenly realised that the temp gauge was in the red. So instead of stopping she decided that she'll just get me to look at it when she gets home. Continuing along the M2, then onto the M7 all of a sudden the engine dies and she has to pull over. After calling me in hysterics I go out to where she has broken down, pop the bonnet and find there is no water what so ever in it. Take off the oil cap and am punched in the face with the smell of burnt oil. Fortuneatly there was no water in the oil so I'm pretty sure that the head gasket held up, but had to get a tow back to mine. Pretty sure the engine has siezed.
No the big question. Do I replace motor with another 4g93 or take advantage of it and upgrade to a 4g63. Its a 2002 CE2 Lancer coupe. I kinda wanna do it as cheap as I can and as quickly as possible because I don't really wanna drive to Lane Cove from Kellyville Ridge every day to drop her off and pick her up.
I also wanna keep it non-turbo because I really cannot be f##ked with all the extra work involved.
So will a N/A 4g63 bolt straight in? Or should I just get another 4g93?
Also can anyone recommend any good places in North West Sydney to start looking for a new engine?
All help is much appreciated.
