How to build a 4G64 for an EVO 8/9
Mine seems to be holding up pretty well. The 2.4 spools the black very well. Hit 45 psi at 5200. Then it hit all the fuel/ignition cuts. At least that what the data logger shows. Pulled hard though.
Should have it on the dyno soon. Just switched to e85 so trying to flush out all of the old gas.

So for the block gaskets would this gasket set work? Its shows its for a4g64 but doesn't show its compatible with the 03 galant... http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?n...d=221244111057

A few gaskets and seals will probably work. Honestly, I would stay away from cheap gaskets and seals. I would go with OEM or felpro. I use the EVO 8 engine gasket kit from AWD motorsports. It comes with every seal for a rebuild except a throttle body gasket. If youre going to spend the time to rebuilt an engine, do it right.
Does the girdle from the 63 work with the 64?
As far as the girtle goes, I most likely cannot be carried over. Each one is machined to the block it was meant for. If you want to carry it over, you will need to have it align honed but I would not recommend doing that, hoping that its still on center with the block.

just called a shop about the compatibility of the evo 8 gasket set on a 4g64 they said some parts will work others wont... anyone know what parts would not work?
Well, I use all the gaskets with the kits except the water pump. They are the exact same block. Using a 2003 Outlander water pump gasket works. Since you are carrying over the evo 8 head, oil pump, oil filter housing and oil pan, all the gaskets are usable.

I went to the AEM adjustable ones because because Im running the 4G63 evo 9 kevlar belt. The adjustment makes up for the shorter belt.
The main thing to keep in mind is to have the dowl holes in the cam to line up with the valve cover marks.

Using the 4g64 head gasket is there any modification needed? Any who has used the cometic conversion gasket? That is what was in my engine when I got it, and found that it is leaking under boost so now need to decide whether to go back to a cometic or try the OEM version. I know AMS used a 4g63 and ported the bore to fit the larger cylinders.
