Well I replaced all the lifters/valvetrain components, and all the timing components, but the engine was still knocking. Checked everything we could possibly think of and nothing was the source of the noise. So, the only option left was to pull the motor and tear it apart.

It seems like one of the wrist pins is damaged, but we won’t know for sure until a machine shop can pull the pistons off the rods. It’s unfortunate because the damage is minimal and it probably would’ve be fine for quite awhile. But, I can’t give a car away that’s knocking. So, anyone got a new 6 Bolt 4G63 for sale?

Wow total suckage. I mean you can still go ahead with the giveaway and negotiate the best time to actually give it away. Or buy them out and keep it lolol

Matt Cayton

Damn it sucks all this is happening I’m just glad you show us all of it and not just the good stuff. shows people that no matter what you do sometimes you have to do it again.

Bummer.. Just a bump in the road.. You'll have it figured out soon enough bud 🤙

ryan vermeylen

Tough break man no doubt you’ll figure this out. Once you finish this car I can’t wait to see you work on the sleeper Volvo again that cars a gem

Just please keep he 4G63 platform, whatever you do. Don't lose faith in them because of this. Fantastic engines!

Din Mulaosmanovic

I wouldn’t say fantastic. They are ok at best. So many issues with them as his is a prime example. VW 1.8t, and k series are much better

Glenn9K

Well, of course there are a LOT of better engines. But you have to consider the age of the 4G63 design, its not really comparable to either of the examples you just gave. Caleb having problems with his is sad, but its fixable, and the engine will be great fun to drive once done.

Well the VW 1.8t was introduced in the early 90s so it isn’t newer by any means. With rods and upgraded exhaust valves thing can 400whp without breaking a sweat
