no. why do you ask? there are plenty of cam options available for the 420a.

the evo 8 cams are hollow.

The Evo 8 4g63 and the 2gN/T 420A are completely different motors. So nothing engine related will work on our cars.

i thought the valves were hollow?

Yes, you can swap anything from one engine to another regardless of what make and model not to mention what specific engin code it is.

There has never been a Mitsubishi engine that is compadible with the 420a. Stick to Chrysler parts.

i actually broke a rocker arm on the 420a and my 4G63 rocker is still working till this day in there

 

[siceclipse]

then that is awsome!

 

[hillbillyboostn]

shit it was the valves. that completly screws the thread.

you want parts look at the turbo PT cruisers and 2.4 avengers. We can borrow some stuff off the head of a PT, and use the bottom end of the 2.4 with some modifications.

Actually it is the cams that are gundrilled.

Evo 7 article

The Evolution 7 employs Mitsubishi's long-serving 4G63 DOHC, 2.0-litre, 16-valve intercooled turbo four. In current Evo guise, it features hollow camshafts, an up-sized oil cooler, revised intake manifold, twin scroll turbine housing, triple water spray nozzles for a massive front-mount intercooler and a large straight-through exhaust with a dual-stage muffler.

Road and Track article

At 19.0 psi of boost, Mitsubishi's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 has somewhat less output with 271 bhp coming at 6500 rpm and 273 lb.-ft. of torque at 3500. Like the WRX STi, the Evo has many technological features found on its former WRC car — Mitsubishi pulled out of WRC this season, promising to come back next year. These include hollow camshafts, a custom-designed turbine nozzle and an intercooler water spray. The Evo's twincam powerplant comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.

A closer look at the evo by Michael Brock

The Lancer Evolution VIII's camshafts are hollow. The reduction in weight in reciprocating parts like the camshafts is crucial to achieving the free-revving, torque-churning power band.

perhaps there both hollow... this is from evotuners.net

Stock valves?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just got off the phone with the folks at Jackson Auto Machine, and we were talking about the valves in the EVO. The fact that they're hollow (lightened) poses an expensive failure waiting to happen. Be sure you change that timing belt religiously. If it breaks, you'll need more than just some head work and new valves like the DSMs do (as the valves would bend). The EVO valves break instead of bend. That obviously doesn't do much good in the engine...

Strange Mitsu would do that.

 

[mavisky]

That is a very likely possibility. I really didn't even look into that fact.

 

[xXeclipstasyXx]

the valves and cams are sodium filled, which doesn't compress or expand when they get hot... giving it more strength than just a hollow cam or valve

Sorry, gotta ask. How did you break a rocker arm in a 420a?!
