Howdy All,

To my question as to the 24V 1995 3000cc 6G72 and
replacement blocks for a Montero Yankneck

This is wrong. All of the 12V engines (and I've taken
apart 2 and looked at half a dozen) have different
water bosses and pumps. The oil passages are different
as are the water passages and damed it if I'm going to
make a custom head gasket. You can't just use them as a
long block for the gen 3 fuel injected engines. This
may also reflect on the Diamante Vs. 6G72 thread.

Sorry... I guess I didn't see the 24V.

That's what I thought <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Was there ever a 24v 3.0L? I though ALL 3.0L Montero engines were 12V. 24V came with the DOHC 3.5L and then the SOHC 24V 3.5L that I have. Am I wrong? May be this is why you're having problems finding the right block. Do you heads have 2 valves per cylinder or 4?

95 and 96 LS's had a 24V SOHC 3.0. Maybe he has an LS like he was saying. Never seen a 95 SR with a 3.0 but manuals are rare too so maybe he has the 3.0 24V.

To clarify:

It is a 95 LS with a 6g72 24V (and yes I have 4 valves
per cylinder) and a 5 speed manual. I't is a SOHC.
I believe justice is correct in that they were only
imported to the USA in 95' and 96' and 95' was the last
year of the manual. However, I'm not sure if the later
Montero Sport's had the same 3.0 engine. That was a
3.0 SOHC 24V as well to 1998 or later. I'm not sure. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />
