> i dont hate the 4g63 i just have always wanted to build a 420a which yes i dont have a shit load of money right now but thats why i save my money and i dont want to buy a gsx or gst cause of the crankwalk problems and if u start to mod them u need to build the internals of the motor which yes i no u will have to do the same with the 420a but thats just my opinion and thats what i want

if you think that the 4g63 is unreliable, you are in for a rude awakening.

4g63\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>420a in terms of reliability. it isnt even close. i have owned both, so i am talking from experience.

420as love to blow headgaskets, have TERRIBLE wiring harness problems, and difficulties with sensor reliability.

crankwalk happens in like 4% of 97-99 engines on average. and, it generally happens around 60k miles. so, most 97-99s have more miles on them now, so they are past the “primary” time that crankwalk would happen.
