That’s taken from various shops around the area (about 8 total).

I would venture to guess a lot of “unreliable” cars have issues due to the types of people who buy them and how they’re taken care of.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that: https://oppositelock.kinja.com/fun-things-you-find-1823373043

Eh, I take pride in telling certified mechanics how to do their jobs, it’s just proof that schooling means little without the experience to back it up. If I can teach them something, it’s a good thing.

It would be nice if these “ratings” also included how vehicles were maintained.

You would think so, sadly they take the easy route and just assume all engines are interference.

Because regardless there are always going to be some valves open, which will get smashed as the engine continues to spin after the belt/chain breaks.

Same deal on Chrysler 3.0s (Mitsubishi 6G72).

Honestly, the majority of shops these days have a hard time telling a V6 from a 4 cylinder with the hood open, you expect them to know every engine that is and isn’t interference?

The chain isn’t the issue so much as the guides that keep the chain on track and the potential water pump ran by said chain.

I sympathize, been going on 5 months without good sleep here.

Is the 4th day hips and high beams?

Username checks out.

Guess what, they’re cheap too.

There are quite a few GLH/GLHS Omnis around still.

That explains all the GLHS’s bringing over $10k these days................

3.8L V6, 5800 rpm limited.

Depends: Is it a GLHS?

I have a 90s Mopar Minivan fetish.

I feel like most of that want could be accomplished cheaper by using torquier engines instead of this HP race we’re in currently.
