Released from 1986 through 2008, the 6G72 engine was released in the American market in such makes/models as the Mitsubishi 3000GT, the Dodge Caravan and the Chrysler Town & Country. What does this mean? This means that you can get most engine associated parts at your local auto parts store!

At Nomadic we leave no bolt unturned, and this sentiment holds true with the 6G72. Due to the tight nature of the engine bay we have to drop the entire cradle out of the chassis to perform the timing belt service. Once the engine cradle is on our custom made trolley, we spend 3 days replacing every seal, gasket, pump, line, spark plug, solenoid… You get the point. Once all of the new and refurbished parts are installed we of course have to shine it up. Depending on the van you will get a shine, and some paint to match in the engine bay :)
