EVO IV Crankshaft

I under some serious pressure here.

I need an EVO 4 crankshaft like yesterday (well last 3 weeks actually).

No, my crank didn't walk, the journals are badly damaged and wouldn't make sense to machine, ergo I need a crankshaft.

However, for the knowledgeable amongst us, I need some clarification on the applications of Evo crankshafts. I've been told that any crank from 1-9 would work fine, then I was told that 4,5 and 6 alone would work, then I was told only 4 would work cuz of the placement of the thrust bearing i.e. the 4's block has a groove cut into it to accommodate said bearing.

So enlighten me, P-L-E-A-S-E-!-!-!-!

But more than that, find me a crankshaft, P-L-E-A-S-E-!-!-!-!

Yes, desperation has set in.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dragmaster and welcome to the Mitsubishi

MadMen Forum.

Sorry but I don't know where you can get an E4 crank.

Many thanks Sanctifier. I was, after browsing through many threads, looking for your input, first and foremost, and expecting the 'Mitsubishi Madmen' of Zorce to be a lot more insightful and better expressive than those of other locals.

I got a USDM Evo8 crankshaft for a friend of mine who has an Evo5 in Grenada. It's the same crank.

I am not 100% sure but I believe that the Evo4 crank is also the same, the difference lies in the block itself where the placement of the thrust washer, etc. is concerned.
