4G64 lower end timing parts?

Post by gunner12 »

Im building a wide block (4g64) for my rig and I have a few questions,
Can I use any of the timing parts from this block? If not what is required
to put my 4g63 head on I have? I have been doing alot of research and found some part numbers but not sure if the ones I have on this motor are the same.
One last thing is the factory pistons can I use these for my turbo setup or do I need
to get some new ones.

I do take it you mean the 4G64 block not the 4G54 block? Because if you mean the 4G54 block, then unfortunately it won't work. I wish it would but it doesn't.

Assuming you mean 4G64 wideblock, There is very little you can use from the SOHC timing system. I have outlined most of it on this page:

http://projectzerog.com/sohc-dohc.shtml

The 4G54 (G54B) (2.555L) is of a different family from the 4G64 (G64B) (2.4L) and thus very little interchanges.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.

Aw I see I made a mistake there on that post, Its a 92 4G64 2.4
out of a mitsu pickup (Wide Block). So for the timing stuff I can just use a 4g63 2.0 pump and cover (From what I read) If thats the case I found one.

Yeah, you can use all of the timing parts from the 2.0 DOHC except of the cam gears (you can use them but will need to account for slightly different markings) and timing belt.

A 99 is most certainly a 7 bolt while your 92 4G64 is probably a 6 bolt. Just about everything is different between a 6 and 7 bolt.
