spankis Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Chrysler (Mitsubishi) 3.0 is not an interference engine, I've owned and worked on countless vehicles with this engine. Just FYI. Chrysler Mitsubishi 3.0 ( 6G72 at least ) IS an interference engine. They can be found in Dodge Stealth, Mitsubishi 3000gt, Mitsubishi Galant VR-4, some Mitsubishi Monteros......fyi. 60k timing belt and water pump replacement is recommended, as are a few guide pulleys I believe.

81mercury Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 i just reread that after you quoted it no one recomends timing belt changes under 60k just an fyi so you don't waste a bunch of money chrysler recomends that the timing belts on the 3.0 be changed every 30k....... and it IS an interference engine, trust me if it wasnt i wouldnt have changed the timing belt.....this is only the second one ive worked on but they are interference try reading the manual on a 93 caravan with a 3.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81mercury Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 well the hanes manual and the local parts store said every 30,000 is the recomendation because of the problems that it causes if it does break i guess...mines brand new so im good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 2.7 bmw's are less than 60k too I forget the number but is is low too. Anyway I dislike them too like when you talk a customer into doing the idler as well since it had a ton of miles, then the damn idler fucking breaks and bends a valve (Berto's mom's car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Chrysler was wrong when they made their manual and Haynes was right. My bad. You might want to get a more reliable source than a Haynes manual, there's a reason most shops have Alldata, Mitchell, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct sir, I was just basing my statement on Chrysler built vehicles, (since we were talking about a Caravan) not the ones built by Mitsu and sold w/Chrysler badging.

81mercury Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 well since i havent been near an alldata in 2 years i guess the hanes manual will work for me.....if i knew all you guys were super informed on chrysler 3.0's one of you guys could have changed my water pump, i will not put another dime into this pile of shit unless its a turbo 2.5 swap....fuck 3.0's there junk no matter when you change the timing belt...internal water pump can lick my balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProwlerZ Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Just changed the Timing belt on a 01 accord and was off a tooth... good thing they're not THAT picky... It took over 100 miles before the engine light came on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a video of a woodie Voyager smokin' a C5 Vette. I think it (the van) ran a 12.1 in the 1/4. There's nothing wrong with a 3.0, they just love to drop exhaust valve guides and then proceed to fog out entire neighborhoods.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
