I know I'm right....
Thats called "Granny's undercoating...for the motor". Junkyard is full of Chrysler 2.7 V6's full of black goo from bad PCV. Adventure is out there !
the worst part of the 2.7's, is the water pump is internal to the motor. When it starts to leak, you likely would never know it. The water leak drops directly into the oil sump, mixes with oil and destroys the bearings, and rotating crank and rods. It also fouls the oil pressurized automatic chain tensioner, then the chain(s) fails or jumps time and you have 4 cams, 24 valves, 6 pistons beating each other to death. Catastrophic engine failure. I hate to admit I learned this firsthand.Thats called "Granny's undercoating...for the motor". Junkyard is full of Chrysler 2.7 V6's full of black goo from bad PCV. Adventure is out there !

wow, u would think any one designing an engine would know , do, or catch that !the worst part of the 2.7's, is the water pump is internal to the motor.

You'd think they would, wouldn't you? They made millions of those engines, and a large number failed. There are a huge number of stories of failure of that engine all over the Internet. Frankly, I'm surprised there wasn't an organized public outcry, demands for a recall, or at least a class action lawsuit.wow, u would think any one designing an engine would know , do, or catch that !
Quaker State as well back in those days.....I didn't mention that because I didn't want to open yet another oil debate, but I have seen that as well on a lot of Pennzoil motors.
My Dad swore by it, but after seeing what I have three's just no way.
I even bought a Honda dresser motorcycle because I felt sorry for it when I saw a Pennzoil bottle sitting next to it when the guy said he just changed the oil.
I swapped it out for Castrol GTX before I even left with it.
