Re: Not the same V6? sure? Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Not the same V6? sure?, Jan Geert, Tue, 18 Apr 2006 03:26:11 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Aluminum valve covers and oil pan did away with two complaints of steady oil leaks from the 900/9000 engines. And with that the oilsoaked spark plugs wires also vanished when they went with IDMs instead (even though those are failing but not as much as on the 4 cyl engine).
The timing belt setup is still the same and fails about the same if not completly replaced with pulleys and all at 60K intervals.
The engine oil cooler lid have the same tendency to start to leak as for the older V6s.
But I say that you shouldn't compare the two engines even though they share the same or similar block and maybe pistons because the 9-5 V6 engine is a whole different beast as in smooth running and more horses and doesn't have the anemic performance as the 900/9000 have.
