Mitsubishi 3000GT Engine ReplacementCompare Prices & Save

Rebuilt Mitsubishi 3000GT engines typically cost £1,500-£5,500 supply-only, depending on variant and engine code. Twin-turbo VR-4/GTO units command premium pricing due to complexity and specialist demand.

• Base/SOHC rebuilt: £1,400-£2,800 supply only
• SL/DOHC rebuilt: £1,500-£3,500 supply only
• VR-4/6G72TT rebuilt: £2,500-£5,500 supply only
• Supply & fit labour adds £800-£1,800 typically

For timing belt failure or crankwalk damage, replacement with a rebuilt 6G72 usually offers better value than attempting repairs on a 25+ year-old block, especially with warranty coverage.

• Rebuilt engines include upgraded components addressing known failures
• 12-month warranty protects your investment vs used engine risk
• Specialist rebuilders understand 6G72 nuances like crankwalk prevention
• Consider vehicle value and intended use when deciding

Crankwalk is thrust bearing wear allowing crankshaft end play, primarily affecting 1994-1997 6G72TT engines. Prevention requires upgraded bearings during rebuild.

• Symptoms: clutch drag, oil pressure drop, knocking at idle
• Caused by inadequate thrust bearing design on early 2G blocks
• Repair requires block machining or full engine replacement
• Rebuilt 6G72TT with upgraded bearings prevents recurrence

Replace the 6G72 timing belt every 60,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first. The interference design means belt failure causes bent valves and costly damage.

• Use OEM-spec belt, tensioners and water pump together
• Interference engine: belt snap = bent valves, damaged pistons
• Labour-intensive job; budget £500-£900 specialist, £800-£1,400 dealer
• Always verify belt history when buying a used 3000GT

While swaps like the 6G74 3.5L are technically possible, most UK owners opt for correct-spec 6G72 replacement to maintain compatibility with ECU, wiring and emissions systems.

• 6G72 variants (SOHC/DOHC/TT) are direct replacements within model years
• 6G74 3.5L swaps require extensive modification and tuning
• ECU, wiring loom and exhaust compatibility critical for OBD1/OBD2 models
• Specialist fitment recommended for any non-standard engine

Reconditioned engines replace worn parts; rebuilt engines include upgrades addressing known failures; remanufactured units meet factory-spec standards like BS AU 257 with full component renewal.

• Reconditioned: good for budget daily drivers, 12-month warranty typical
• Rebuilt: upgraded internals for performance or high-mileage use
• Remanufactured: factory-spec rebuild, longest warranty, premium pricing
• Always confirm scope of work and warranty terms before ordering

Supply-only engines typically dispatch in 3-10 working days; supply & fit installations require 2-4 days garage time depending on variant complexity and parts availability.

• Used engines may be available immediately if in stock
• Rebuilt/remanufactured units built to order: allow 1-3 weeks
• Twin-turbo VR-4/GTO installations take longer due to complex pipework
• Mobile fitters available in some regions for on-site replacement

Well-maintained 6G72 engines can exceed 150,000 miles, but timing belt neglect, crankwalk on 2G TT models, and valve seal wear are common failure points requiring proactive management.

• Regular oil changes and timing belt replacement critical for longevity
• VR-4/GTO TT engines demand higher maintenance standards
• Rebuilt engines with upgraded components often outlast original spec
• Service history verification essential when buying used

Yes - every engine supplied through EngineMarket includes a minimum 12-month unlimited mileage warranty from the rebuilder, protecting your investment against premature failure.

• Warranty covers parts and labour for manufacturing defects
• Terms vary by supplier; always confirm before ordering
• Used engines may have shorter or conditional warranties
• Keep service records to maintain warranty validity
