Hi all.

I have acquired an older lancer gl 1.3 4G13 from my father in law who is in bad health and too old at 95 to drive now.
It's been in the family since 1998 and has almost 190,000 kms.
Engine still sounds like its just broken in!! He never wanted to sell it as they just don't make them like this anymore he says.

I do have an issue with it right now unfortunately, that I want to address. A whining sound only when hot, rpm dependant. (possibly a bearing or tensioner I guess)
Which is the best forum to post this issue to as it is an older lancer but with the 4G13 motor?


Well due to his health and having no records of the history of this I'm doing some preventative work on it to keep it going.

Just recently removed the oil pan, as it had a cross threaded drain hole from the last oil change he took it to be done at a cheapo oil change center!!
Got that fixed and oil filter removed after fighting with that.
new plug and sealant on it. Pan reattached. No oils leaks.
Nice clean valve train and pan now.
Also replaced the manual gearbox oil as that was nasty.
New valve cover gasket also.


Thanks!
