    We do call them an "internal combustion" engine, And thats the nice way of saying there are 2400 explosions per minute at an idle. I have no idea what the pressures are, but I do know any engine has the potential to kill or dismember you.


    Kind of like this one, ejecting the engine block from the frame.

    I'm sure if you pull the head you'll see what else you need to buy. Had that happen to me and the piston kissed a few valves. It's better to see what exactly needs to be replaced before you start researching. Might find yourself looking for the wrong thing. A 4g63 dohc turbo setup ain't that much more then a complete rebuild a second time around. Keep your options open. Btw, mine had a con rod cap bolt failure from oil starvation to my first 4g63 DOHC turbo motor. No scar to cylinder walls, massive damage to crank and brace.

    Good idea to rebuild the 2.6, it is a better performing engine than the dog g63b(unless you were doing DOHC/and or turbo swap). I loved the 2.6l when I had it compared to the g63b.

    G63b compatible with 4g63 dohc parts. Rods same. Pistons high comp but can use aftermarket pistons for turbo. Head bolts up. Lol.

    But even then its still a lot more work and custom work at that compared to just rebuilding a stock engine.

    Agreed. Just pointing out since he might need to rebuild the head a second time as well as the block depending how bad the damages. Other options are out there. Waiting updates from the op.
