Yeah replace it and monitor it. It's supposed to be changed at specific mileages anyway.

Anybody can point me in the direction of a service manual for the cs3 Lancer?

Changed hoses, drained and used new coolant.

Temperature almost maxed out this morning. I'm really stumped about this. No leaks, sufficient fluids etc and still the overheating persists.

I also noticed that both fans come on simultaneously even on a cold start. Any ideas?

Don't have time till Monday to check a mechanic so I have no choice but to use the car as is to get to work today and tmrw.

i had a similar problem in a ck lancer and it turned out to be a a air trap

Changed them because the one shaped like a little 'S' from the radiator to the engine closed in on itself,

How did you get rid of the air pocket then?

The car overheated jut now. I checked the fluids again and it was good however, the coolant reservoir was overflowing. It was 3/4 full last night when I changed fluid.

Was the old thermostat faulty? If it was and it failed close it may have damaged teh head gasket.

Parvin · Postby **Parvin** » December 8th, 2012, 12:46 pm

It was kinda rusted so I didn't put back one.

Anyway to test that head gasket?

same size and width.
you could machine it and it will work, wont be 100% safe but lots of people locally does it and it seems to work without causing a problem

just asking

I am going to rebuild my CK1 Lancer's engine (4g13).

I was hoping to get some OEM stuff at reasonable prices in the Diamond Motors 50% off Saturday sale, but they said they have no engine parts in stock for the CK Lancer.

Can anyone recommend an auto parts place where I can get good quality aftermarket parts like the full gasket set, connecting rod bearings and main bearings?

Thanks.

rollingstock · Postby **rollingstock** » February 7th, 2013, 9:49 pm

PT auto, they can source and ship it in, but the price may be exorbitant though, call and get a quote.

Rory Phoulorie · Postby **Rory Phoulorie** » February 14th, 2013, 7:59 am

Good morning everyone.

What are the differences between the 4g13 SOHC and 4g15 SOHC engines for the CK Lancers? I know the stroke is the same, but the cylinder bore is different (which gives you the different displacement). So the engine block is slightly different.

But do both engines run the same connecting rod bearings and main bearings? What about the gaskets (cylinder head, etc.)? Are those the same? The difference in the bore between the two engines is about 2mm. How significant would this be where the cylinder head gasket is concerned?

I was hoping to get some OEM engine parts from the Diamond Motors 50% off Saturday sale, but they only have suspension parts remaining for the CK Lancers.

I am therefore looking at the option of importing the OEM engine rebuild parts out of the USA where they sold the 4g15 SOHC engine in the Mirage.

Any information that can be provided will be sincerely appreciated.

Thank you.

Kindest Regards,

RP

Good afternoon everyone,

Im looking for the best and affordable way to lower my car, lancer ex 2011. I know cutting and heating springs arent the best way. so i was going down the route of buying drop springs. which would you think would be more suitable Tein S tech or Eibach pro kit?
