Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the 4G63-DOHC engine.

Engine 4G63-DOHC is known for durability but common issues include head gasket failure, turbocharger wear (especially in Evo models), and timing belt wear. Diagnosis involves checking for coolant leaks, overheating signs, and unusual noises. Prevent head gasket failure by maintaining proper cooling system function and avoiding overheating. Replace the timing belt every 60,000-100,000 km to prevent catastrophic engine damage. Turbocharged versions require regular oil changes with high-quality oil to prolong turbo life.
