Is the naturally aspirated GM V6 engine going away?
The number of models offering an atmospheric GM V6 engine is expected to decline further going forward, replaced by smaller turbocharged four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines in the name of better fuel economy and lower emissions. Are you a fan of the naturally aspirated GM V6 engine, or do you welcome its disappearance?
What do you need to know about a GM 4.3L V6?
This video goes through the teardown process of a GM 4.3L V6. It has been removed from the vehicle and we take it apart, except for crank and piston removal. 1. Engine: • Fuel System: Purpose is to deliver fuel to the engine. It consists of the fuel tank, pump, gauge/sensor, filter, pressure regulator and injectors.
Is the GM V6 engine still in use?
Indeed, the naturally aspirated GM V6 engine is slowly disappearing, as revealed by the number of naturally aspirated GM V6 engines offered in recent years. Breaking it down, we find the most recent batch of atmospheric GM V6 engines offered in two distinct configurations – 4.3L units, and 3.6L units.
Why was the GM 4.3 Vortec V6 introduced?
GM also began to advertise a new air/fuel mixing method using a ‘vortex’ inside the combustion chamber that it would brand ‘Vortec.’ Eventually, all of GM’s truck motors would fall under the ‘Vortec’ banner that the 4.3 was introduced under. The larger bore of the 4.3 would help it push past previous GM V6 engines in terms of performance.

What kind of oil does a GM 4.3 liter V6 use?
The 4.3L V6 uses 5W30 oil, held in a six-quart aluminum oil pan. Oil-Spray Piston Cooling: all Gen V engines feature oil-spray piston cooling, in which eight oil-spraying jets in the engine block drench the underside of each piston and the surrounding cylinder wall with an extra layer of cooling, friction-reducing oil.
Is there a GM 4.3L Vortec V6 engine?
Although a 4.3L version of this new engine family is currently available, it’s completely unrelated to the one that came before it.
