Forum title?

[MantaGreen97]

I don't mean to nitpick too much and don't know if it hasn't been mentioned already but the forum title, ("3100 V6 (LG8): Available 1994-1998"), isn't exactly correct.

For one thing the LG8 was not available until the year 2000 (or perhaps 1999) and from 1994-1998 the L82 was the code for the 3100 made in those years.

The LG8 was available in 2000 and onward (perhaps in 1999 as well, can't remember now).

Sorry Roland, I didn't notice your post until now. I spend little time in the engine-specific forums. I'll make the changes. :) Next time, post in the suggestions forum. There's a better chance I'll see it there.

:thanks:

When you look it up where?

Right in my 97 GM service manual it says L82, VIN M.

The LG8 3100 simply wasn't available until the 2000 model year (or 1999 at the earliest). Check out www.60degreev6.com for info: http://60degreev6.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=17&page=1

Anyway thanks for addressing it sunrunner! :) I guess a better forum title would be:

"3100 V6 Engine Discussion" with
"L82 (1994-1999) and LG8 (2000+) Engines" as the subtitle?

Says:

The L82 was a high-output version of the MFI LH0, produced from 1994 through 1999. It featured a structural oil pan, a stiffer redesigned engine block, and sequential fuel injection. Output for this version was up 20 hp to 160 hp (up 15 kW to 118 kW) and 185 ft·lbf (250 N·m).

The LG8 3100 is a modern version of the 3.1, produced since model year 2000. It still has an iron block and 2-valve pushrod aluminum heads but now has full sequential port fuel injection. The LG8 also features a new intake manifold and numerous changes to improve parts sharing with the offshoot GM High Value engine family. Emmissions were improved with air injection for LEV status. Power is 170 hp-175 hp (127 kW to 131 kW) and torque is 190 ft·lbf–195 ft·lbf (258 N·m to 264 N·m). The LG8 is built in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico and Tonawanda, New York. It runs 0-60 in 8.5 seconds and completes the quarter mile with a 16.3 @ 87 mph time.

Enough Said IMO,

L82 is for 94-99, LG8 is for 2000+

Sorry it took so long, but the title has been corrected. I must've forgotten completely aboot this until Slowbird's post in the 3400 section. :doh:
