My first V20

Hey Spareparts, when you’ve survived the storm, can you verify whether I’m correct.

I believe the 3.7, the 470 and the 170 (that’s mine) are all the same engine. Yours looks exactly like mine from what I can tell from your pictures.

It was a project to do but it was satisfying to beat it into submission and I knew my engine a lot better when I was done. I made a puller to remove the harmonic balancer (crankshaft pulley), which also carries the magnets for the integrated alternator. That worked fine and I was able to clean up the alternator (which later died anyway) and that gave access to the cover that houses the water pump and then the fun really began. I’m pretty busy right now but if you can’t find a manual, I’ll look in mine and see what I can find to pass along.

Whatever you do, don’t forget to drain the heat exchanger if there’s any chance of freezing - I mentioned that before - it’s an expensive mistake that I made.
