Platinum Warranty: parts and labour, four years, included on gas engines in non-commercial use

4-year no-fault nationwide warranty — includedOn gas engines in non-commercial use, at no extra charge. The builder’s standard cover is 3 years, parts only. Every gas engine we sell includes the 4-year no-fault warranty with labour, at no extra charge.

  • “No fault” means we do not investigate why it failed — if a covered engine fails inside the term, it is covered.
  • Labour is paid up to CAD $95.00 per hour — a cap on the rate, not a flat payout — and only for the remove-and-replace hours in the Mitchell labour guide. Diagnostic time is covered up to 2 hours, and fluids up to CAD $200.00. Towing and a rental car are not covered. Anything not listed here needs to be agreed with us before the work starts.
  • The 4 years start the day the engine is installed, and a claim needs proof that a professional shop installed it.
  • Unlimited kilometres, and no deductible.
  • Call us before any warranty work starts, so we can authorise it. Labour paid on a repair we were not asked about first is not covered.
  • A claim starts with a call to us. We file it with the manufacturer, and the manufacturer pays it.

Diesel engines, and engines put into commercial service, are not covered by this 4-year warranty — the terms vary by engine, so call us for the terms on the unit you’re pricing.

Chrysler 3.3/3.8 Minivan V6

Also known as: Chrysler 3.3 V6, Chrysler 3.8 V6, EGA, EGH, Mopar minivan V6

Overview & history

When Chrysler needed a homegrown replacement for the Mitsubishi-sourced 3.0-litre V6 in its minivans, it developed its first clean-sheet V6: the 60-degree 3.3-litre, launched in 1989 for the 1990 model year, joined by a bored-and-stroked 3.8-litre for 1991. Unlike earlier Chrysler sixes, this family wasn't cut down from a V8 - it was designed from scratch for transverse front-wheel-drive duty, and every one was built at the Trenton Engine plant in Trenton, Michigan. The formula was deliberately conservative - cast-iron block, aluminum heads, pushrods, a timing chain - and it paid off in a two-decade run powering Dodge Caravans, Plymouth Voyagers and Chrysler Town & Countrys, plus the Dynasty/New Yorker/Imperial sedans, the first LH cars, the Pacifica and, in its final act, the Jeep Wrangler JK. The 3.3 retired in 2010 after 5,076,603 engines; the 3.8 soldiered on until May 2011. These are unglamorous, hard-wearing workhorses - 200,000-mile examples are common where the oil was kept up.

Specs & engineering

  • •60-degree V6: cast-iron block, aluminum cylinder heads - Chrysler's first fully in-house V6 not derived from a V8
  • •OHV pushrod valvetrain, 2 valves per cylinder, hydraulic roller lifters and shaft-mounted rocker arms
  • •Timing chain, not a belt; the 3.3 is an interference design, so a failed chain can contact valves
  • •Bore x stroke: 93 x 81 mm on the 3.3 (3,301 cc); 96 x 87 mm on the 3.8 (3,778 cc)
  • •Forged steel connecting rods throughout
  • •2001 refresh: variable-length intake, reinforced composite plenum and revised cam lifted output to 180 hp (3.3) and 215 hp (3.8)
  • •2001 heads moved from 4-bolt to 7-bolt rocker shafts with welded-steel rocker arms, curing the early pedestal-breakage weakness
  • •Transverse FWD by design, adapted to longitudinal FWD in the 1993-1997 LH sedans and RWD in the Jeep Wrangler JK

Generations & variants

  • •3.3L EGA (1990-2010): the original; 150 hp at launch, 162 hp (1994), 158 hp (1996-2000), 180 hp from 2001
  • •3.8L EGH (1991-2011): bored-and-stroked 3.3; 150 hp rising to 166 hp (1996), 180 hp (1998), 215 hp (2001-2007), then 197 hp in 2008-2011 tune
  • •Flex-fuel 3.3 (1998-2007): E85-capable versions in Chrysler minivans, starting with the 1998 Town & Country
  • •2001 redesign (both engines): variable intake, composite plenum, 7-bolt rocker shafts, welded rocker arms - the most desirable spec of the family
  • •Related engines: the SOHC 3.5L V6 of the 1993 LH cars was developed from the 3.3's bottom end; the later aluminum 4.0L SOHC (EGQ) descends from the 3.5 family, not the 3.8

Known issues & fixes

Rocker shaft pedestal breakage (2000 and earlier)

What to watch for: Loud, persistent tapping from under a valve cover on pre-2001 engines (4-bolt shafts, stamped rockers)

The fix: Drill the pedestal, fit a Heli-coil and longer bolt - or replace the head; the 2001+ 7-bolt heads cured it

Cam bearing failure from oil starvation

What to watch for: Low oil pressure or an oil light at idle, usually from a low oil level or worn oil pump

The fix: Keep oil topped up, use a filter with a good anti-drainback valve; rebuilds get a new pump and cam bearings

Lifter tick / collapsed lifters

What to watch for: Cold-start tapping from the valve covers as the lifters' small oil feed holes clog with sludge

The fix: Correct viscosity and shorter change intervals; replace lifters if the tick persists after an oil change

Intake manifold and plenum gasket leaks

What to watch for: Unexplained coolant loss or overheating, especially on higher-mileage 3.8s

The fix: Replace the intake gaskets; inspect the composite plenum on 2001+ engines while in there

Age-related oil leaks

What to watch for: Seepage at the valve cover, oil pan and rear main seals

The fix: A simple reseal - all gaskets and seals are new in a reman engine
