Mitsubishi: 4G63 cylinder head replacement

The issue is the number of valves. The 2.0L 4G63 and 2.4L 4G64 SOHC up to
1992 have 8 valves with the plugs on the front side. From 93 onwards, the
4G64 SOHC has 16 valves with the plugs in the top. I'd guess that yours is
the later 16v type, with the distributor/ignitor on the transmission end of
the head.

The combustion chamber volume for the 4G64 is probably slightly bigger than
the 4G63 unless the 4G64 pistons are dished.

Point is, the 4G64 SOHC 16v head from a 95-99?) Galant will be compatible.
If anyone knows if the Galant came with a 4G63, then its exactly the head
you need for your SpaceGear. You could likely get away with a 4G64 head will
a 1mm reface of the surface.

Don't consider heads from 93 or earlier as these will likely have
compatibility problems eg size of studs, position of sensors and other
stuff.

Hope this helps.
