I think quinn was the best thing to ever happen to this channel, I really love seeing everything that goes into the builds on the mechanical side. The body kits and painting and wheels are all cool and nice, but the car is nothing without a heart.

@@vegan-rising not how that works

[@M3NACE]

@@vegan-rising crankshaft was repaired prior to us obtaining this car, and a crank inspection did not reveal the repair, and the repair was not visible until it failed. crankshaft repair's typically do not hold up when the power level is tripled, as this one did not hold up. is what it is, it's all part of the game.

not gonna lie, i was expecting to watch atleast 3 videos of you guys trying to fix this engine and for you guys just to finish the whole thing and put it in 1 video, that’s what makes Throtls videos unique from a bunch of other youtubers. Like they waste no time they get straight to the point and they get the videos out all together. Throtl Videos are always fire videos!!!!

I have been thinking about this myself. Most car youtubers have this weird one day one video standard. These guys just make coherent videos about whatever they are doing and I think it kills.

The whole time watching I kept thinking “there’s no way the eclipse is going to be running by the end of the video” Quinn you are a beast.

Love that Quinn is apart of the team. He brings a level of relatability. Awesome guy, awesome team, awesome content.

[@Buggblasta]

Quinn is the Effin man. Watchin him build, take it apart, then rebuild was crack. Smooth. I know they sped up the vid, but dude was smooth as hell putting it back together. I wish Quinn was on my team. Youse catz at throttl are very fortunate to have. Much love and respect to Quinn. Of course the rest of catz at throttl but Quinn getz the shoutout today. Chea

[@ogxboxgamer3171]

If I remember correctly you did a balance shaft delete kit. That's good but I'm pretty sure I remember you leaving the 2nd gen 7 bolt bottom end on it. You need to get that out of there and toss in a 1st gen 6 bolt. It's going to keep having crank issues until you replace it.

[@K6GSXRider]

This. 2ng gen 7 bolt bottom end is prone to spun bearing and crankwalk, ask me how i know;) This will happen again, guaranteed. The only sure fix is a 1st gen 6 bolt as mentioned.

[@ogxboxgamer3171]

@@K6GSXRider yes sir it indeed will. I've owned 4 dsm's. talons and eclipse GST, gsx, and 2 tsi awd. The 2nd gen gsx I had nothing but bottom end issues with. Once I swapped for a 6 bolt no bottom end issues. Then I had to deal with the common lifter, and overheating issues lol.

Hope this fix lasts. My buddy uses a 1Gen block with a 2Gen head. Less crank walk, larger journals. No more crank walk, running 500+ hp. Just saying for future reference. Love the show. Quinn is awesome.

[@basedemt6608]

Supra’s, BMWs and old fords have way more crank walk issues. There was a very small batch of non split thrust 95-96 7 bolts that had some wear issues due to extremely heavy pressure plates or general defects but it was less than 1%. You read that right. Split thrust 7 bolts are a better engine than the 6 bolt in every way. It’s why evos continued to use them 20 years after the 6 bolt was discontinued. Bad engine builders and horrible “bro” tuners are what kill 4G63s.

[@Buckwired]

The car wasn’t even down at Rickie/Will height and Quinn still found a way to knock his head on it.

Quinn does a great job explaining things for the viewers and through the video I started to think back on how he has made such a great addition to the channel. Also kudos to you guys for mashing all this content into one long video - really makes it a nice experience for the viewers to jump through all your steps in one watch. Great vid once again!

Quiny did his magic 🔥 Throtl 's finest 💯 Well done 💥 Throtl team 💪

[@TrenC21]

I reckon proper bearing clearances was not done when the motor was being built....but the older 4G63 motors are notorious for crank walk...hence most EVO 4 and older owners swap the motors out for EVO 6 motors and upwards...hope to see this 10 sec car running soon! Don't forget to check the turbo...all the shavings would have probably gone in there as well and maybe caused some damage.

yeah it's his fault. he is acting like it's Mitsubishi's fault for him screwing up the rebuild.

[@williamking9200]

You are learning that DSM life, you will work on it more than you will drive it.. That's how I learned how to work on a 4G63 drive it 1 day and have it broken for a week then just repeat the process. 7 bolts are junk motors 95-97 then revised 98/99 with a split thrust bearing which still failed in my 99... I loved my 1g 6bolt 4g63 engines, never had bottom end issues... 300k miles and it still ran good...

Little hint: Next time (in case You dindt film it) Crank the engine on Oil Pressure (remove the spark plugs) then start the engine and look with an oil gauge how much oil pressure you got. In case I missed it, do you have an actual oil pressure reading in the car? You might have forseen the damage a little bit earlier.

[@anthonyciccariello8089]

This is why emotions have a break-in periods. I would have at least put a thousand miles into it before I even put it on the dyno. Keep up the quality content

[@RS-bb5tg]

The problem isn’t the work you are putting into it which is excellent Quinn and who ever is involved , but the experience you have with the nature of the engine , I think 99% of the dsm has mentioned the crank walk problems, a new crank and bearings isn’t going to really solve the problem , but one for sure is knowing your torque wrench it’s not accurate but knowing how many attempts it takes to get it to the best accuracy , but I’ve also seen people using excessive pressure plate pressure that literally put enough pressure to cause the crank walk

[@RX7FDfreak]

Love the track content. Try road courses and dial in suspension for faster times would be cool

[@abdulkareemrainers3142]

Quin I don’t know 4g63 but is cylinder 1 and 2’s exhaust port supposed to be so black on the outside? Isn’t that the same story like with the head bolts where you need to recheck the torque spec again after driving?🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Jeff-sim-tube]

best thing about this motor spinning a bearing is we get to watch quinn build this motor again :)

[@jessicallewellyn4517]

I know with the 6g72 lifter tick was pretty normal and iirc the 4g63 did it too. I loved my mitsu but they certainly had their quirks.

[@mattcangie]

I was going to say something about a proper break-in period and several engine oil flushes but after hearing that the crank had been unbeknownst fixed prior for the #4 journal, that would definitely explain things. The odds that you got a lemon from the beginning sucks but at least now you're starting off new, fresh and Even Steven. I still can't quite tell if they're using a 7-bolt or 6-bolt crank. Hopefully a 6-bolt or else they're going to be right back here soon with that HD clutch. PLEEEASE! DON'T HURT IT AT FUELFEST!

While it's in the air, you guys should get a carbonfiber fascia to cover the oem body paneling thats just painted black with the rear bumper delete.

[@benheynen2705]

The "root cause" isn't the spun rod bearing, that's the result! The root cause looks like low oil pressure as 4th rod is the last to get the oil. 4G specific things aside, you need to make sure that there are no unexpected oil losses, like perhaps the balance shaft delete or some of the other oil passage blanking and deletion plates. Could be something simple like that. How did you block all the galleries that usually feed the balance shafts and are they pressure tight? Monitor oil pressure seriously with ecu auto shut downs and replace all the filters (oil pick up,lifters and cooler are like a filter too), strip and full engine clean, especially the turbo. Fingers crossed the contaminated oil didn't eat the turbo too. Didn't want to make it a 64 at the same time? You also have an exhaust leak on port 4, probably a danger to manifold.......

[@nickm6882]

I came to the comments to see exactly how many say to run a 6 bolt 4g63 vs the 7 bolt but the 97-99 7 bolt engine block was not as prone to the crank walk as the 95-96 7 bolt engine was so sticking with the original engine was best for this platform

[@chrisgroome1654]

I've always thought crankwalk was more prevalent in the later 7 bolts than the early 6 bolts. At least that's what I remember from back in the day. Curious as to what 4g63 block you rebuilt.
