Lubrication system
The engine lubrication system is designed to deliver clean oil at the correct temperature and pressure to every part of the engine. The oil is sucked out the sump into the pump, being the heart of the system, than forced through an oil filter and pressure feeded to the main bearings and to the oil pressure gauge. From the main bearings, the oil passes through feed-holes into drilled passages in the crankshaft and on to the big-end bearings of the connecting rod. The cylinder walls and piston-pin bearings are lubricated by oil fling dispersed by the rotating crankshaft. The excess being scraped off by the lower ring in the piston. A bleed or tributary from the main supply passage feeds each camshaft bearing. Another bleed supplies the timing chain or gears on the camshaft drive. The excess oil then drains back to the sump, where the heat is dispersed to the surrounding air.

One step up from the base model was the SL model Stealth. Considered the luxury version of the Stealth, it’s differences were not always apparent to the eyes. Although Dodge decided to stick with the same 3.0 liter engine.
The VR4-T/T Turbo was the ”bad boy” of the family.

Basically the whole car was set up for this monster motor. Larger brakes, stiffer suspension and bigger tires were a few of its’ ultra performance parts.
The Spyder was a rare edition of the VR4. They did not sell well because of the steep price and were discontinued prematurely.
The Mitsubishi engine family coded; 6G7 or the Cyclone V6 engines are a series of V6 piston engines from Mitsubishi Motors. Five displacement sizes have been produced with both SOHC [single overhead camshafts] and DOHC [double overhead camshaft} layouts.

An engine for fixed installations primarily, Isuzu 6HE1XN Diesel Engines for sale are in stock, fully remanufactured and ready to ship.
Not every engine is for a vehicle that has wheels and drives. This engine is used in fixed or stationary installations for the most part. It is not generally used to power vehicles that travel on the road.
While many of my readers may leave right now, this is an important subject to cover. Whenever you see construction going on, or a building being erected, you can bet some of that portable equipment you see, like the giant night light systems and the bulk of other equipment is all powered by diesel engines like this Isuzu 6H-series.
Some of it’s best qualities, setting it apart from many other diesel engines also used in fixed or confined areas is that it runs very quiet and clean. Making a more user and environmentally friendly motor. It needs less maintenance too. Reliability in certain fixed installations is critical, which is one reason people choose Isuzu diesel engines as power-plants.
Remembering that generators, huge pumps, welders and plenty of other fixed applications are not always located in a desirable place to service the engine at, it becomes more important for engines to be reliable and durable. These pieces of equipment can’t drive to an engine shop. The engine and shop has to come to them.
For instance, when you are watching a show on Discovery Channel and see a remote electrical generator in the middle of nowhere, you will now think about how hard it must be to get an engine to that location.
Which is one good reason so many owners of said engines and equipment turn to us. GotEngines.com. Reliability is everything to these people. Regardless of the purchase cost to them, a long lasting remanufactured diesel engine costs less than a poorly remanufactured engine.
Which brings me to why we are the Isuzu 6H series engine supplier of choice with professionals.

3400 Engines for Sale
We have to assume when someone inquires about 3400 engines for sale, they mean the General Motors 3400 or 3.4L engine. That is the most popular 3400 engine ever made. Obviously our assumption will be wrong on occasion, but that’s OK, we have every 3400 engine made for sale, I may not be familiar with it though, so call GotEngines.com and speak with an engine application professional.
Note: There is another 3400 engine that I was not familiar with. It is a diesel engine made by Hercules and it is made for commercial equipment, not for transportation uses. Things like generations and portable welders and fluid pumps use this type of engine. We carry new Hercules 3400 diesel engines as well I’m told by the management.
The generation 11 engines were called the ”LQ1”, with an ”X code” ID #, or Twin Dual Cam [TDC]. This is the first 3400 or 3.4L engine I’m aware of that GM made. Made from 1991 to 1997 it used MPFI [multiport fuel injection] until 1993, then switched to the more advanced SPFI [sequential port fuel injection] until it was discontinued in 1997. It would only fit front wheel drive cars.
The Generation 111 engines were introduced in 1994 technically speaking, therefore an overlap between the Gen. 11 and Gen. 111 engines existed. But the Generation 111 3400/3.4 engine which can be refereed to as 204 cubic inches were used in rear wheel drive autos and small trucks too.
The three Generation three models were called the;
L32 [''s-code''] used in the Firebird and Camaro
LA1 3400 [''E-code''] used in the vehicles below;
• 1996 Chevrolet Lumina APV
• 1996 Pontiac Trans Sport
• 1996 Oldsmobile Silhouette
• 1997-2005 Chevrolet Venture
• 1997-2005 Pontiac Trans Sport/Montana
• 1997-2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette
• 2001-2005 Pontiac Aztek
• 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am
• 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero
• 2000-2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
• 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala
Last, was the LNJ model which is a modified 3400 engine. Built in china for the Chevy Equinox and Pontiac Torrent. These motors were imported to Canada for Canadian cars. Be wary because a lot of cars in the USA were made in Canada.
That’s my story on 3400 engines for sale. I have no problem modifying it if someone points out another 3400 engine that is available. Call our specialists and find out which variation is in your best interests. We have remanufactured engines for sale, used engines for sale and new remanufactured crate engines for sale.

Ford 6.7 Powerstroke Engine For Sale
The Ford 6.7L engine is number 1, a diesel engine and number 2, called the 6.7 Scorpion motor because it has a turbocharger mounted on it, which was designed by Ford. It is of the same family as the 7.3L engines, called Powerstroke diesel engines. If it’s a Powerstroke, it’s a Ford engine, although the Ford 6.7L Powerstroke engines for sale were not as common, we stock one because we get calls for them periodically.
The reality of the matter is that International Engine Company designed and produced the engine. Yup, it’s a real International engine, designed for Ford trucks only. The important thing to know is that there were some 6.7L diesel engines offered in Ford pickups called the 6.7 IDI [indirect fuel injection]. Built between 1988 and 1994, these are not Powerstroke diesel engines, because they have no turbocharger.
The 6.7L Powerstroke engines are equipped with turbochargers and required a more advance fuel delivery system made by Bosch, which was operated by a sophisticated computer setup that is programmed with Ford software. It puts out 390 horsepower and has an astounding 735 lbs. of torque. Torque is the important power figure for diesel engines. As opposed to horsepower for gasoline engines.
One of the beauties of this engine is that it uses a single-sequential turbocharger by Honeywell, which has an industry first dual compressor turbine and combines the expedient response time of a small turbo with the high capacity pressure of a large capacity turbo.
Considered one of the new generations of ”green” diesel engines, the 6.7 Poerstroke uses several new and efficient methods of controlling emissions, such as integrated exhaust gas recirculation, selective catalytic reduction [SCR], and a diesel particulate filter which virtually eliminates soot.
The good news is that International Engines live on and on. We have an excellent assortment of diesel engine options available for you. Remanufactured diesel engines are a popular choice, used diesel engines for those on a budget and crate new engines for the uncompromising.
