6-bolt 4g63 shortblock rebuild parts

I'm saying it right up front. This video goes above and beyond shortblock rebuild parts for a reason. Nobody in their right, left, forward or reverse minds puts a 23-year-old 4g63 engine back together with 100% OEM parts. Nobody's shooting for that good ol' stock 190hp feeling with a DSM drivetrain. Nobody. Not unless they've got something to prove.
I am putting a 7-bolt head on a 6-bolt block. So with that said, I show several over-the-top internal parts that are going into my 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX.
I used to have a big diatribe at the end of my description. Instead I'm going to tell you that I bought my parts at ExtremePSI and from mitsparts.com. These are the parts that facilitate the installation of a 1g engine into a 2g car, and it focuses mostly on the shortblock rebuild parts, and the valve train stuff should be in your hands as well by this time so you can have the parts fitted to spec during the head rebuild.
I like to finish the head work before I start assembly. It's just how I do things in a complete rebuild. It's really satisfying to bolt a finished head on after you're done putting together your rotating assembly. Cams, timing belt, valve cover, oil pan, done.
In this video: • GSX Block Prep Part 2 ...
I demonstrated the modifications necessary for a second generation timng-side engine mount to fit the front of a 6-bolt engine block while maintaining operation of service tools for doing timing belt jobs, and also so that you can fit a 1g timing cover over it because your 2g timing cover won't. If you're putting your 6-bolt engine into a second generation car, this video is a must-see.

[@HaroRider03088]

I wish these videos never ended..12 minutes is not long enough. Really cant wait to see this thing put together.

[@sk8erguy1450]

Hey jafro I'm all the way in afghan and the Internet sucks but I let the videos load all day and can watch them when I come back to the tent thanks a lot!

[@TomsTurboGarage]

Love it Jafro! So easy to follow, yet detailed and informative. I always learn stuff when I watch your videos and really appreciate your dedication! Thank you for taking the time to post these.

[@molsenice]

Can I call dibs on the first ride? - there's a steak diner in it if bribery works - your humor has brought me back for a number of viewings, cleaned the garage again - I really need to get going on my engine,

[@AllFourSpinDsm]

I'm not doing anything like this due to being out of the Dsm game but I wanted to state how appreciative I am of all your in depth videos. You do a fantastic job.

[@MainyMitsu]

YES! Finally an update on the 6 bolt project! Great job as always Jafro! Can't wait to see the assembly series.

[@destruck]

Great news on the website, it will be great to have a place to see all the information you share easily. I WISH you would do a basic video for a 7 bolt, I plan to stick with it for a long while, hopefully never HAVE to go to a 6 bolt.

[@dsm985]

YOU ARE THE MAN! KEEP THEM COMING PLEASE!!!! (you are saving me thousands and I'm learning so much). I feel like I should make a donation...

[@tooltrt87]

Thanks for another awesome post. Iv been subscribed to your channel for a couple years now. If i have a question that needs an extraordinary answer your my first search. This however is the best so far. Im literally doing this right now in my kitchen. Lol seams unorthodox but my gf is very cool and its the cleanest room i know of. I will be following this closely and again thanks for the time you put into these great videos.

[@Hamtheman88]

I live in the same town that Kelfords are made, nice to see some local parts been used in your build on the other side of the world.

[@asfan7]

Can't wait for more, I dont understand anything about what you just opened up, but I am riveted!

[@briansmobile1]

Man that's a fine batch of fresh parts! I've added you to my recommended list of channels.

[@itfiresblue]

You make the videos bro, thank you this. I always use them to help me with my Evo II, keep it up and happy new year.

[@jsanchez430]

"I wish I had a wife so someone could be pissed off at me for buying this stuff." brb, died laughing.

[@DatBlueHusky]

every time you upload a video, i click like when it didnt even load the video yet

[@chilliwacko]

Seriously great videos. I'm just starting to rebuild a 6-bolt block with a 2g head, so this is perfect.

[@bradikus7]

Awesome choice on the rods Jafro. I too was pretty mad when you tricked everybody about the cams lol. Glad to see you're still at it.

[@AlchemistLair]

Looking forward to your engine building series!!

[@tonkatoytruck]

Glad to hear that you are putting together a website. I think it is a no brainer. You may even be able to generate some revenue to help offset your production costs. Or, just pay someone to help with the publication of material. In either event, it will be a much more useful tool for yourself and your visitors. Can't wait to see the final product, both from the car and the website. Good Luck and thanks.

[@bkbombers]

I love youre videos man thank you taking the time to make them. Alex

[@maxash0775]

A website with your wisdom would be awesome for mechanic wannabes like me.

[@eclipse99gst]

The website is great idea and I look forward to it.

[@Gusando]

Thank you for such a great Vid. please keep up the great work

[@boyblue431]

thanks you for thoughts boss=) i agree 200+ is alot of money for that part so i thought i would ask you. This is what is stoping me from moving foward on this build. I have no HP # or E.T. time this car is just for the street. I will send you pics, i have the shortblock already put together with ARP's everywere also. Thanks again JAFRO, you the man!

[@NOLA_dad]

“I wish I had a wife so someone could be pissed off at me for buying this stuff”- LOL It’s so true. Mine hates the DSM.

[@R6iness]

u are the coolest guy ever

[@jesss5139]

Nice videos hope to see a transmission rebuild on the 4g64 talon

[@4G63addict]

Extreme psi FTW.. I know those peanuts and packing anywhere.. Haha.. Good choice of cam and springs. I run thsi combo except in the 280 variant, and couldn't be happier with the capabilities of both the cams and the springs. Kiggly's kick serious ass. They have saved me a few times with miss shfts upwards of 11,000rpm.. Even the bearings ACL tri's look good for the continued abuse. Great choices. You've done your homework Jafro!

[@Fellafoe69]

I love every one of your vids. :D

[@KeeleDesign]

I can't wait to see when your done with this project, Because I forsee you building a 2.4l in the years to come.

[@RIDEREU]

Very useful video. Thanks from Russia.

[@jdmfreak92]

I'm excited!!

[@orfeous]

Good work :)

[@Sik95TSI]

Hey Jafro! Been watching your videos for a while now! Must I say I have learned a lot thanks for all the videos man! I'm also building a 6 bolt, my ? Is do I need to do any machining to the head to run the kiggly beehive

[@SammyKumar]

i love ur videos.so much haha

[@seangeeb]

Hey Jafro I saw your video on balance shaft delete, it said part 1 in the beginning, just wondering if you have a video with a part where you install that "crank sprocket spacer"? I myself never used one, but I'm going crazy buying seals and bolts and stuff from extremepsi (I'm in Philadelphia they're only about a half hour drive from me) and I was about to add one to the ole' shoppin cart but I just wanted to see what I was doing with it. If it replaces the sprocket with the timing mark, how do you tell where it's supposed to point to?

[@revolutionzerox]

woooo hooooo! shiny parts.

[@Running925]

I love the hidden comedy!

[@ewells90]

Jafro I'm doing a stock rebuild on my 6 bolt over the winter, hoping you show how to do a complete balance shaft delete thanks!

[@spooling42r]

more I want MORE!!!!

[@manchestertreble]

Hi Jafro, Awesome video as always! why not use Aluglide bearings? have you had a bad experience with them? Sorry if you've already mentioned this

[@MechanicalTriage]

Please help. I’m in the middle of tearing down a 4g63 8v sohc, and found a solid lifter cam setup, and domed head (full circle hemispherical head chamber). I have cracks in the head. I want to figure out where this head came from, so I can replace it with the same head. I have no idea what motor it may have came from as it was built before I purchased it. Can you please help me identify what head I might have?

[@Sik95TSI]

Awesome! Thanks man!

[@boyblue431]

hey JAFRO , what is your thoughts on the AMS RACE BALANCE SHAFT kit? in the description it says that if you use the BSE your using you will shorten your oil pumps life. Now i don't have a bunch of money to spend so i don't want to buy another oem oil pump so i wold like your thoughts on this part. I am building a 99' split thrust motor with evo x pistons,6 bolt rods, 7 bolt crank,while using all oem parts to build the motor. I am going to run evo 9 FF oil filter with air cooler also.

[@roberttuckerjr4718]

can you put up the website to buy this stuff at. I'm doing a timing belt on my 6 bolt dsm and want to know if I have everthing I need to do the good. like all the seals And gaskets. thank you.

[@Sik95TSI]

Sorry I posted with out finishing my post lol! Anyways any mod need to be done to run the beehive springs? Or they direct bolt on/fitment. Thanks again man!

[@madoggyd]

You can order them with the provided MD part numbers through your local Mitsubishi parts dealer/dealership. I was fortunate enough to land a dealers copy of Mitsubishi CAPS, allowing me to research any and all parts number with diagrams by VIN :D

[@nossyhot]

hey jafro.. i Can"t wait to se that Webside.. an read all about youre bulid"s.. i am big fan from danmark in skandinavian

[@TrueBlueEG8]

9:00 for meany Jafro, I really wanted to see that cam! Is this stuff for the colt or the eclipse?

[@MechRider89]

Hey jafro whats sits sell good BSE kits? I have a n/t block that I'm planning on making into a turbo engine for my 1g awd shell and I would hate to have the timing skip on me. Have to buy the tools to check clearances like you did in your 4g63 blueprint videos to tho.

[@modicaUSMC]

why do i need a haynes manual for engine building, as long as i have your videos and the favorites button im good, i was falling asleep and got an email about your new video so naturally to hell with sleep, thanks for the info I look fgorward to the next video

[@alexanderkelson8043]

so since manley already got the rods within a gram of each other does that take out the step of having to balance the rods then? I have manley pistons and h beam rods waiting for my 6 bolt and have been told over and over to balance them. what would you recommend far as balancing the bottom end in general? thanks jafro! and ive been watching all your vids over and over haha!

[@Jafromobile]

+roxas kelson I will get to that one. I just haven't made the video yet. Within a gram is a nice starting point. It's the big ends that you want to match up. There's usually a little variation in the weights of the pistons and wrist pins. Sometimes you can mix and match to fix the pin bores' weights and have to do nothing at all. ;) My big ends are 2 grams apart, though. I'm likely to re-balance my entire rotating assembly and I'll show that process.

[@alexanderkelson8043]

awesome I cant wait for that video because that's the last step im at before assembly. rest of my blueprinting is pretty much done haha :) I did although weigh the rods with bearings installed and then weighted pistons and matched the heaviest piston with lightest rod and went backwards that's way if it helps at all idk just weighed and wrote down for now till I fully decided what to do. thanks for input so far jafro! much love! cant wait for the gsx to get going!

[@BoostedCajun]

When installing a new oil strainer, would you use an ARP bolt to secure it? Or, use the factory bolt (being it's wildly different than the ARP) ? I have L19 head studs, and matching mains, but when I disassembled the engine it had the factory bolt for the oil strainer. Is that how it's supposed to be done if you have ARP's? Or no?

[@Jafromobile]

+BoostedCajun Nah, I'd use the factory stuff. You're supposed to use loctite. If you mean the nut that's on the extra little leg thing sticking off to the side, just drill that hole out bigger and find a nut that fits. Either that or use the 2g strainer because it doesn't have that leg on it. (you could cut it off) If you use red loctite on the 2 bolts that hold it on the pickup flange, it's not going anywhere.

[@BoostedCajun]

OK, good that answers my question completely! Thanks! You ROCK!

[@PsychoAlfaSchizo]

Put that tiny 20G&750's combo on the Elantra and get some FIC 1050+ and 35R/6262/S362 for the Eclipse! DSM/4g63 Power Baby!! P.S: the only project car you are missing is a Starion(Conquest). 2.4L 4G64 swap. haha!

[@oneilphinn6370]

Could we get a buying list link for these parts please

[@dropdraw]

could u tell me why not to use acl alluglides in a turbo 4g63?

[@modicaUSMC]

roughly how much did all the short block seals and rebuild pieces cost? thinking aout picking up a spare engine to build in my free time

[@Zipmeow]

@Jafromobile Why are you running a 9:1 compression instead of an 8.5:1 couldn't you achieve higher boost levels with a compression of 8.5:1?

[@Malfik]

Oh I'm rebuilding Zetec engine and bad thing is that i saw this video! Damn! I want buy those same parts too :(((

[@EcBuddy123]

I've have reached out to you before on here, but is there a way to get in touch with you directly? I really want to make sure to build a reliable daily driver that puts down a bit extra power. However this is the first time I will be building an engine, if I do, and would like to do it correctly the first time. I have 2 engines to work with, both 7 bolts and an extremely dissembled car that needs a lot of TLC...

[@TimFanslau]

how much did all those gaskets cost you? and were did you get them? Im going to need to do this

[@gamenessovercolor666]

HEY BRO I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 4GCR 1.6L AND THE 4G63 CYLINDER HEAD GASKET ?

[@EATSLEEPJD]

Jaffro for the win !

[@Suprakidd1]

well jafro, what can i say that already hasnt? its almost hard to believe those je's have 45,000 miles. simply amazing. looks like your building a balls drag dsm?

[@wither8]

Haha "i wish i had a wife so somebody could be mad at me for buying this stuff" i'm sure AvE or This ol' tony's wives got plenty of yellin' to spare ;)

[@MrNeonDriver]

your nuts. rebuilding / refurbishing an 23 year old engine :P Ok. i gotta admit i found this channel cause of the blue printing. And now i am rebuilding/ refurbishing my own 18 year old engine. Thanks for the info you give us. Will be awaiting your next porn video of the engine.

[@KeeleDesign]

I run 9:5:1 at 32 psi on 93 oct, with a above factory timing curve. In my situation and build it works better because I have an automatic. Also A higher compression piston will allow for less boost that needs to be pushed and it will raise your powerband in every rpm, to have a stronger DD situation. The higher compression will also help with MPG for cruising. This isn't a top dragster he's building. Functionality and dependability is key.

[@briankee10]

Hello my friend , I need your help , please!. Let's see , when I turn on my car ( Mitsubishi RVR sports gear x3, engine 4g63) the oil pressure is 80 psi for 800 RPM (for 65°F). but when the engine starts to heat, the oil pressure drops to 0 psi (200°F). What do you think ???? Note: my Metales are new.

[@blastcather]

"I wish I had a wife so someone could be pissed off at me for buying this stuff" Classic. I wish I had one too Jafro! =P

[@molsenice]

wahoo - go fast time

[@ryanlake4408]

hey jafro where do you order your gaskets from?

[@Jafromobile]

A variety of sources, really... but the ones I bought here were from ExtremePSI and Mitsparts.

[@ryanlake4408]

awesome thank you for the quick response.. im currently contemplating building my 6 bolt having mixed feelings.... also watched all your vids love them cant wait for more

[@SiyCampbell]

Sorry for late request just getting into this thing. Have you and your brother finished the website and if so can you send a link please. Would really like to follow that as best I can.

[@Jafromobile]

The website was up, made a 36-month run, and some of the ideas I wanted to deploy would have taken 5-figures to deploy, so I put basic stuff up there. In the end, less than a thousand hits... realized it was not a good use of time and money. I gave it the ol' college try, but this idea died on the vine.

[@SiyCampbell]

Jafromobile your less than A would have probably been my A+ Thanks, sucks I was late.

[@Jafromobile]

It's not to say that it won't pull a Lazerus a few years from now with what I originally envisioned. I wanted to create a resource, but maintaining websites and social media takes me away from making videos. I learned a lot from that experience, and I think there's a better way to do it. I had almost figured out how to do what I wanted to do with the website but with KZbin... right before Google "asked creators what they wanted" and took annotations away. That wasn't the right answer either. It was a good idea and I won't let it rest.

AH HA! I thought it was a 4g63 block I spotted. Also, hurry up and make the cylinder head video already! That camshaft troll wasnt funny. :P

[@gst69man]

why remove the balance shafts? This question may be so stupid that I wouldn't mind if you did not answer it. I am thinking..no balance shaft no smooth running engine.. thus more stress on the rotating assembly bearings short engine life. Ferd.
