A group \(G\) is a Fitting group of degree \(n\) if all normal closures of elements of \(G\) are nilpotent of class at most \(n\). The author proves that locally nilpotent 4-Engel groups are Fitting groups of degree at most 4; if there are no elements of order 2 or 5, the Fitting degree is bounded by 3 (Theorem 6.8). The arguments are done via Lie algebras, and the primes 2, 3 and 5 have to be considered separately.
