just skimming I can see a couple things wrong:
– the 2.7L is 167 in^3
– it had an aluminum block with steel sleeves
I didn’t read beyond that to check what else but you might want to double check.
You are right, my mistake, fixed
Engine oil capacity shows a 5.7L engine not a 2.7L engine.
It’s 5.7 litres of oil, not engine capacity I think.
Still what is EER? No explanation in all that info, great work on details
EER is just the engine code. Most car manufacturers assign an engine code to help identify the engine easily when looking for parts/upgrades/information.
2008 Magnum 2.7L 6cyl Can ( or should you ) install a turbocharger on this motor?
My car used to have the 2.7 lt 6 cil dohc WITH egr valve and pipes… and some other sensor on the top… I had to change it and get an almost identical engine WITHOUT the egr valve and pipes…
Computer correctly states some sensors are DISCONNECTED… Nevertheless the “new” engine runs fine. Still, I need to know exactly what is the model/code of this engine?
I can no longer search accurately for spare parts without this important data.
I have a 2010 non us dodge journey
In Australia the local parts shops say it takes 5.2L of oil
but I changed the oil and filter put in 5L and it came up the dipstick by a lot had to drain almost 2L back out to get it to the level of full on the dipstick
How can I find out if the owner before put a different dipstick in or why the difference is oil needed is so different
Thinking to put a CAT 1 hurricane in an SE Magnum. I’m wondering how it might work RE: Dimensions, Weight, Mounting, etc…
Anybody have any ideas on this?
What is the tolerance on a 2008 Chrysler 300 aluminum block
The spark plug gap can not be 0,05mm…It should be 1,XX mm. The pre-gap from Champion for these spark plug is 1,3 mm.
