Evo 8 4G63 Block, why it is different?
Hello guys.


I have here 4G63 block that I was told that it was from Evo 8.


but how come my evo 8 water pump is not covering the cavity of coolant passage?


please tell what 4g63 block I have.


im assuming its from 2003 4g63T jdm outlander, or jdm evo 8 block?
but not positive.



Thanks



This is the original pump



With new water pump. See the exposed cavity?

Prone to crank walk, ring, piston issues that were said to be sorted in the Evo V and up.

Other than the prone to crank walk thing the rest is bogus as far as I'm aware. I've had 4 blocks apart side by side to a 5, 6, and 8 blocks and have seen no difference in regards to pistons etc. I believe the part numbers were even the same.

Can one simply use an evo 8 block and evo 4 head? I was planning on building my evo 4 and wanted to just use and evo 8 block....

Other option would be to use an entire evo 8 motor....but would the evo 8 motor bolt up to my evo 4 transmission and tcase?
