WTB: 4G64 SOHC 2.4l 16v Engine rebuild kit

[EVO-00X]

Hi guys, I'm having a complete crap of a time finding a replacement engine in good nick for the Nimbus (cheapest around is $900 + postage pfft). So I'm thinking of just rebuilding it and at least that way I know the condition of the engine. Can anyone here supply a bottom engine rebuild kit (including rings and bearings but not pistons) for:

Mitsubishi UF Nimbus 1993-1998
4G64 SOHC 2.4 litre 16 valve engine

cheers guys.

The quicker I get this sorted the better otherwise I might chuck in a DOHC 4G63 instead! lol

i think you will find they are the same as evo rob,im 90% sure the bearings are the same.

rings maybe not.

have you tried repco or bursons?

is it cheaper to just shove the 4g63 dohc in?

We dont have Bursons in NSW but I did call Autopro and they could only get gaskets individually, or a complete bottom end rebuild kit which included pistons for $1100

I tell you what George, I just had a look at the 4G64 workshop manual and it does look similar to an EVO engine and a piece of piss to rebuild having done several 4G63's and 4G93's . I'm sure I still have some unused gaskets left over from some 4G63 builds in the garage

Plus I have a Spacewagon wprkshop manual too so I think I'm set

Try Andrew at CVAP Rob, I think he might have a 4G64 block sitting around if that helps.

Rob we have Bursons in Sydney, theres one at Kings Park, near Blacktown.

Thanks guys. Problem with shipping an engine this way is the extra $$$ to get here unfortunately One place in Victoria I rang today wanted $950 for a 4G64 engine exchange plus $150 delivery. That's $1100 to get a 2nd hand motor thats got a good chance of having over 200,000 kms no doubt plus I had to send them mine exchange so add another couple hundred bucks

For that sort of money I think I'm just gonna rebuild the 4G64 thats currently in the car as its gotta come out anyway so might as well build a fresh engine and that way I know the condition its in The more I think about it the more I'm leaning that way because of the price wreckers want for a 2nd handy.

yeh for that price u can throw an old haltech in it and throw a twincam head on it lol

I have a nice 6A12 V6 Quad Cam that fits sittin in the garage rob but it still needs some parts like ECU, loom + box and prob a few more parts
