The original 276bhp was increased to 280 I think on this model.

Waynne is correct.
However, Evo 4's suffered VERY badly with crankwalk thus making for an expensive repair, so my opinion is, if you are considering buying one, consider a bit longer or delve a little deeper and get that 6 that you know really is a LOT better

It's when the crank starts 'walking' down the shops lol
Basically, it was only ever a problem on the Evo 1,2,3 and 4, it's when the crank moves around the housing caused by a poorly designed thrust bearing, oil cannot get between the face of the thrust washer and block, and slowly chews away at it, thus making the crank rattle around - you see a lot of people nowadays putting Evo 5 and 6 engines in the 4's to avoid the problem.

The moral of the story is don't buy an old evo with a rattle at the bottom end.
