4-year no-fault nationwide warranty — includedOn gas engines in non-commercial use, at no extra charge. The builder’s standard cover is 3 years, parts only. Every gas engine we sell includes the 4-year no-fault warranty with labour, at no extra charge.
- “No fault” means we do not investigate why it failed — if a covered engine fails inside the term, it is covered.
- Labour is paid up to CAD $95.00 per hour — a cap on the rate, not a flat payout — and only for the remove-and-replace hours in the Mitchell labour guide. Diagnostic time is covered up to 2 hours, and fluids up to CAD $200.00. Towing and a rental car are not covered. Anything not listed here needs to be agreed with us before the work starts.
- The 4 years start the day the engine is installed, and a claim needs proof that a professional shop installed it.
- Unlimited kilometres, and no deductible.
- Call us before any warranty work starts, so we can authorise it. Labour paid on a repair we were not asked about first is not covered.
- A claim starts with a call to us. We file it with the manufacturer, and the manufacturer pays it.
Diesel engines, and engines put into commercial service, are not covered by this 4-year warranty — the terms vary by engine, so call us for the terms on the unit you’re pricing.

Mitsubishi 4G9 Four (1.8L)
Also known as: 4G9 series, 4G93, 1.8 SOHC, 1.8 GDI
Overview & history
The 4G9 series sat between Mitsubishi's small Orion fours and its larger Sirius engines, covering roughly 1.5 to 2.0 litres. The 1.8-litre 4G93 is the member most commonly seen in North America, where it served in the Mirage, the base Eclipse and the Galant through the 1990s. It was a conventional belt-driven overhead-cam design with an iron block and aluminum head, offered in both single- and twin-cam form. Mitsubishi also used the 4G9 family as a testbed for gasoline direct injection: the GDI versions launched in the mid-1990s were among the first mass-produced direct-injection gasoline engines in the world, though they were mostly sold outside North America. Turbocharged 4G93 versions powered rally-homologation Mirages and Carismas in other markets.
