The 2000 Mitsubishi Montero LS Sport was equipped with the 6G72 3.0-liter eight-cylinder engine as standard equipment. The engine was unique as compared to many other engines of the time as it featured an overhead camshaft rather than a camshaft located in the center of the engine block. As with all engines, any major reassembly must be performed with the engine's torque specifications in mind to avoid cracking a component or the engine block.
