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.

Engine guide
Chrysler 2.7 / 3.2 / 3.5 V6 (LH-Car SOHC & DOHC)
Also known as: LH V6, 3.5 SOHC V6, 3.2 V6, 2.7 DOHC V6, EER (2.7L), EGG (3.2L), EGJ (3.5L)
Overview & history
This V6 family was born with Chrysler's 1993 LH cars — the cab-forward Dodge Intrepid, Chrysler Concorde, Eagle Vision and New Yorker — and it stayed in service for the better part of two decades. The first engine out of the gate was a 3.5-litre single-overhead-cam 24-valve V6, a genuinely modern design for Chrysler at the time and a clear step up from the carried-over 3.3 pushrod minivan V6 that sat below it. A smaller 3.2-litre version followed for 1998, sharing the 3.5's architecture with a shorter stroke. The same year brought the 2.7-litre, which broke from its bigger siblings by using twin overhead cams per bank and a much more compact package designed to fit transversely in the narrower LH platform. Over the years the family powered the 300M, Sebring, Pacifica, Charger, Magnum and the 2005-2010 Chrysler 300, picking up variable valve timing and higher outputs along the way before the Pentastar replaced it. The 3.5 in particular earned a solid reputation; the 2.7 earned a far more complicated one.
Specs & engineering
- •Cast-iron block with aluminum cylinder heads on the 3.2 and 3.5; the 2.7 uses an aluminum block with aluminum heads.
- •60-degree V6 layout, four valves per cylinder, 24 valves total across the family.
- •3.2L and 3.5L are single-overhead-cam designs; the 2.7L is a twin-cam (DOHC) engine — the biggest single point of confusion when ordering parts.
- •The 3.5 and 3.2 use a timing belt; the 2.7 uses timing chains.
- •On the 2.7L the water pump is driven internally by the timing chain and sits inside the front cover — a coolant leak there goes straight into the oil rather than onto the ground.
- •Outputs ranged from roughly 200 hp on early 3.5s to 250 hp on later high-output versions.
Generations & variants
- •3.5L SOHC (1993-2010): the founding engine, used in LH cars, the 300M, Pacifica, and the 2005-2010 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger/Magnum.
- •3.2L SOHC (1998-2004): a shorter-stroke 3.5 for the second-generation LH cars and the Chrysler 300M base models.
- •2.7L DOHC (1998-2010): the compact twin-cam member, used in Intrepid, Stratus, Sebring, Charger, Magnum and 300 — mechanically distinct from the SOHC engines.
- •Later 3.5L versions gained variable valve timing and revised intakes, pushing output toward 250 hp.

Known issues & fixes
2.7L sludge and oil-starvation failures
What to watch for: A 2.7L with unknown or extended oil-change history, a rattle on start-up, or thick deposits visible under the oil cap.
The fix: The 2.7 is unforgiving of long oil-change intervals. Run a strict short interval with the correct grade; an engine that has already sludged usually needs replacement rather than cleaning.
2.7L internal water pump leaking coolant into the oil
What to watch for: Milky oil, unexplained coolant loss and no visible external leak — the pump is chain-driven inside the timing cover.
The fix: Replace the water pump with the timing chain service; because the failure contaminates the oil, check bearing condition before reusing the engine.
Timing belt service on the 3.2L and 3.5L
What to watch for: A belt-driven 3.2 or 3.5 with no documented belt replacement — these are interference designs, so a snapped belt bends valves.
The fix: Replace the timing belt, tensioner and water pump together at the scheduled interval, not after a noise appears.
Did you know?
- ★The 2.7L is the odd one out: despite sitting in the same engine family, it is a twin-cam aluminum-block design while its larger 3.2 and 3.5 siblings are iron-block SOHC engines.
- ★The 3.5L outlasted the LH cars that spawned it by years, ending its run in the 300 and Charger before the Pentastar took over.
