DESCRIPTION
The 2.7 Liter (167 Cubic Inches) 60 degree V-6
engine is a double overhead camshaft design with
hydraulic lifters and four valves per cylinder (Fig. 1).
The engine does not have provisions for a free wheel-
ing valve train.
The cylinders are numbered from front to rear, with
the right bank odd numbered, and the left bank even
numbered (Fig. 2). The firing order is 1–2–3–4–5–6.
The engine identification number is located on the
rear of the cylinder block just below the left cylinder
head (Fig. 3).
CYLINDER BLOCK
DESCRIPTION
The cylinder block is made of heat treated alumi-
num with cast-in-place iron liners (Fig. 4). The block
is a closed deck design with the right bank forward.
To provide high rigidity and improved NVH, the
block has cast-in contours and ribs, along with pow-
dered metal 6 bolt main caps (4 vertical, 2 horizon-
tal), with a die cast aluminum structural beam
windage tray mounted to the main caps.
The block design allows coolant flow between the
cylinder bores and an internal coolant by-pass to the
thermostat.
