Engine Mitsubishi 4G63

The 4G63 engine is one of the most popular four-cylinder in-line engines, which was designed by the specialists of the Japanese company Mitsubishi. This power unit has about a dozen different modifications that have been installed on many Mitsubishi models.

The first modification 4G63 appeared back in 1981, and continues to be produced to this day with minor changes. The excellent technical characteristics of this motor are combined with its excellent reliability. The engines have a volume of 2.0 liters and power from 109 to 144 horsepower.

The engine has an old design, proven for decades, and therefore high reliability. The 4G63 has a cast iron cylinder block and an aluminum head for maximum overheating resistance.

The recommendations are simple: use high-quality engine oil and change it on time. Watch for oil leaks and change drive belts in a timely manner. Other defects occur less frequently and do not cause serious damage – neither to the engine, nor to the owner’s budget.

The 4G6 family also includes engines: 4G61, 4G62, 4G63T, 4G64, 4G67 and 4G69.

Disadvantages of the Mitsubishi 4G63 engine

  • Most of the problems with this motor are due to the use of low-quality oil;
  • First of all, this is expressed in jamming of the balancer shafts and a break in their belt;
  • A broken balancer belt often falls under the timing belt and the engine ends;
  • The balance shafts in front of the wedge vibrate and destroy the supports of the power unit;
  • Poor-quality or old grease significantly reduces the life of hydraulic lifters;
  • Another common problem: floating speed due to contamination of the throttle and idle speed controller;
  • Often there are complaints about cracks in the intake-exhaust manifolds.
