Does that valve cover bolt onto the evo head without mods? I like the Kia/Hyundai oil caps better; they thread in, like on Hondas.

^ No, the valve cover will not swap over. Would need to swap the whole head.

Quick Update: I tryed to use the factory Kia knock sensor mostly becouse I forget to swap them out before I got the motor in the car. I re-pined it and gave it a whirl. As I suspected i ran into a lot of false knock (upwards of 32 counts) that I tryed to tune out by adjusting the knock sensitivity map but it wasnt working out so with the help of two additional people, a 6ft extention, a ground down snap-on socket with a swivel attached we threw in a Evo knock sensor and full throttle got two counts of knock before we ran out of road.

Havnt had the chance to get a full tune on the car yet but pending some warmer weather and a thing or two to get it legally back on the road so I dont get a ticket on the way to the dyno, we should have somr results. (Need a windshield, Passenger Side Fender, exhaust and an inspection sticker.

Is it possible to use the 4G61/G4CR stubby oil shaft, commonly uses for the B/S kit?

Yes, the Evo balance shaft delete kits will work on the G4JS block, both seals and stub shaft.

You know the G4JS timing belt layout reminds me of the 4G92/3 DOHC layout.

Ill agree, its closer to the 4G92/3 DOHC layout then it is too the Evo Layout.

Well the timing belt tooth pitch or gap for the 4g15 sohc is the same for the G4JS just narrower. If only I can get the diameter of the 4G9x cam gears, if its the same as G4JS then their will be a way to adjust cam timing.

Can you post a picture of the cam gear? The G4Js pattern is a lot diffrent then what I've normaly seen on Mitsubishi's.

mysticj

I couldn't find a 4G15 or 4G93 cam gear in the yard for nothing, but I do have the 4G15 timing belt[piece of it]. The belt fits but its narrower than the G4JS belt.

Planning on swapping the G4JS shortblock into a 7G Galant soon.

mysticj

L4R, do you know the diameters for the 4g9x cam gear?
