4g63t Motor problems..Help Sign In
Hi, this may seem odd you some of you but i have a 1991 mitsi L300 van with a 4g63t evo 0 motor in it. Recently my friend was driving it and the bottem radiator hose came off and spilt coolant everywhere.. I don't know how long my friend kept driving for. All he said is there was alot of steam then the car stopped. Anyway i towed it home and i've been trying to diagnose whats wrong. I've checked the cambelt and iv taken the sparkplugs out and cleaned them up. I also turned the engine over while plugs where out to clear any stuff that could have been in the cylinders. But it still won't start. Does anyone have any ideas or information they could give me? any would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

If you found any coolant at all in any of the cylinders you can write that engine off. You need to pressure test the system and see if it holds pressure. It likely has a blown head gasket now.
