Last week we got the new pistons for the 4G63 and went to rebuild it. 

Unfortunately, after removing the rods & incorrect pistons we measured everything in the bottom end and found issues. For one, all of the main/rod bearing clearances were out of spec. That isn't a huge deal as the engine builder used "extra clearance" bearings, so going back to a standard size bearing will fix that. The main problem is that one of the cylinder bores was totally out of round. Meaning that the block is toast and we now need a new block and machine work to rebuild it.

With that being said we'll be taking a short break on the Eclipse to work on other stuff while the machine shop gets it done.

Honda Fit upgrades coming soon :)

Insanely unlucky, so many things gone wrong that were out of your control. Gonna be sick when it's done though.

Gabe V

Damn, unlucky but different content is always nice!

Jamie

omg dude, I thought the Mitsubishi curse would bite but not this bad. Can you get one of the other blocks machined to be usable?

note to self, just stay really far away from 4G63s and their "builders"

Bryce Mariano

Dang, sorry to hear about this. Keep your head up! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the Fit!

Maddie

Welp. This series has been a huge reminder to stay away from 4G63s

Skyy M

I know you got a partial refund already, but did this kickoff another conversation with the engine "builder" who sold you that grenade?

I'm starting to think some voodoo witch really doesn't like this project...

This is how the car world works now. My dad got a brand new motor for his subaru and it blew 5k miles later. The manufacturer sat on it for 11 months before finally getting the warranty replacement back to him. Just got it put back in and it's fuckin rattling like crazy from somewhere. It's bullshit. Companies can't even rebuild calipers right which is a simple thing to do. I had a caliper freeze up and bought 2 reman ones from napa and 2 days later one of the remans froze up HARD while driving. Said fuck that and went oem for $300 a pop ugh. So fuckin dumb

Seems like the 6bolt 4G63s are cursed. Is it easy to find blocks in the US still? Can you use regular NA blocks?

Brutal. You ever listen to Circa Survive? "cause, nothing you ever planned out ever turned out the way you planned"
