Postby 80D50SPORT » Mon Dec 14, 2009 8:22 pm

AROUND WHAT YEAR 2.6 L DIDNT HAVE THE LITTLE TIN COVER ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE BLOCK COVERING THE BALANCE SHAFT? I BOUGHT A RAIDER WITH A LOCKED UP MOTOR AND IT HAD THE COVER ON THE SIDE ..ALSO THE MOTOR IN MY 80 D50 HAS THE SAME COVER BUT I DONT KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IT IS ORIGINAL ( PRETTY SURE IT IS THOUGH) BUT THE USED MOTOR I GOT DOSEN'T HAVE THE PLATE AND THE GUY I GOT IN FROM JSUT TOLD ME IT CAME OUT OF A TRUCK THAT RUN GOOD BUT THE BODY WAS "BAD"... I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE ABOUT WHAT YEAR IT IS .....ANYBODY EVER NOTICED THIS ? THE PLATE IS HARD TO SEE IF THE COMPRESSOR/BRACKET IS ON....

That might be a caravan block- all truck blocks I've seen have the covers.

all 2.6s have balance shafts- canadian 2.6s don't have jet valves though. Caravans also had points in the distributor.

Never tried to adjust a chain guide on a caravan so I wouldn't know. probably a leftover of the kluged 2.6 in a Caravan; the air pump driven off the cam is another example of klugging by mitsu for dodge.
