6 Cylinder Boxer Engines Series (104-H6) 6 December 2009 3.0 Liter Engine 3.0 LITER ENGINE WITH STANDS General Information The EZ-3.0 is the model name (Engine Designation) for the new 6-cylinder engine 2001-2009 model year Legacy. The design idea for this engine was to create a power plant that could utilize the current body style, provide more power and decreased exhaust emissions. Many of the features refined for the current cylinder engine are employed on the EZ-3.0 however, new features such as Variable Intake Control and timing chain driven Camshafts give the new engine a look and operation all of its own. SINGLE SERPENTINE BELT BELT WEAR INDICATOR 3.0 Liter Engine Features The front of the engine displays the large front timing chain cover. It is secured to the inner cover with 59 bolts. There are different lengths used and is sealed to the inner cover with Three Bond (1280B). Special care must be used when servicing the timing chain covers to ensure the proper length bolt and sealing procedures are used. A single serpentine belt provides the power to turn all engine accessories. Tension to the belt is controlled with an automatic tensioner. Replace the serpentine belt when the indicator is at or beyond this line. 3.0 Specifications Bore and stroke 89.2 x 80 millimeters (3.51 x 3.1 inches) Length 65 millimeters (18.3 inches) Height 635 millimeters (2.99) Displacement 3.0 liters (183 cubic inches) Compression Ratio 10.7 to 1 Gasoline for use Unleaded Premium Fuel Injection Type DMPI Maximum Horsepower 212 at 6,000 RPM Maximum torque 210 at ,00 RPM 5 6 7

The Oil Pan itself is much smaller than previous model engines and contains a small magnet to collect metallic debris. CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM Connections for the crankcase ventilation system are located at the top of the valve cover. Pressure is equalized from the right bank with a cross over tube. CRANK ANGLE SENSOR WITH RELUCTOR The new crank angle sensor, reluctor, and EGR pipe. The crank angle sensor and reluctor have been moved to the rear of the crankshaft. The EGR pipe has a new design and is mounted on the left bank of the engine. 13 14 15
6 Cylinder Boxer Engines Series (104-H6) 9 December 2009 3.0 Liter Engine Disassembly UNLOADING TENSIONER Begin disassembly by unloading and removing the serpentine belt. FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLY Remove the fuel rail protectors from both sides. LOWER ALTERNATOR BOLT The lower alternator bolt must be backed out before the manifold can be removed. Remove the intake manifold. REMOVE ACCESSORIES Remove the alternator, compressor and power steering pump. NOTE: THE COMPRESSOR IS EQUIPPED WITH A SPEED SENSOR THAT SENDS A SIGNAL TO THE ECM. IF THE COMPRESSOR SPEED DROPS MORE THAN 20% COM- PARED TO THE ENGINE SPEED, THE ECM TURNS THE COM- PRESSOR OFF THROUGH THE A/C RELAY. THE REFRIGERANT MUST BE EVACUATED BEFORE REMOVING THE SENSOR. 17 18 19 20
6 Cylinder Boxer Engines Series (104-H6) 10 December 2009 CRANKSHAFT BOLT COVER CRANKSHAFT BOLT SEAL Remove the crankshaft bolt cover, bolt and harmonic balancer. Do not lose the O-Ring that seals the crank shaft bolt cover to the harmonic balancer. Begin removing the outer cover bolts. Keep them organized to ease reassembly. The bolts must be removed in the proper sequence to avoid warping the outer case. OUTER COVER SEALS These two bolts use sealing washers to prevent engine oil from leaking to the outside. The seals are not reusable. OUTER COVER BOLTS The bolts circled in the above picture secure the outer cover to special bolts that have internal threads. These bolts assist with supporting the outer chain cover along the middle where there is no support from the inner case. 21 22 23 24
