Jasper Engines & Transmissions has expanded the availability of its remanufactured GM 3.6L Direct Injection (GDI) Product Line. JASPER released the Manifold Injection version of the GM 3.6L in July 2013. A Direct Injection version was available in November 2015. Now, JASPER’s latest offering of this engine is available for the following 2012-2013 applications:
Chevrolet: Traverse, Equinox, Camaro, Impala, Caprice – Police Applications
Cadillac: CTS, SRX, XTS, ATS
Buick: LaCrosse
“JASPER replaces the OE cast aluminum pistons with forged aluminum pistons of our own design,” says Brad Boeglin, JASPER New Product Development Group Leader. “The JASPER-engineered pistons have 150% larger oil return holes that assist with drain back to prevent the oil rings from sticking. They also use a tapered top ring land to reduce cupping.”
“Our specially-designed pistons utilize a wider graphite-coated skirt to prevent dry startup piston scuffing,” added Boeglin. “We’ve also improved the skirt profile for greater piston stability.”
“In addition, we use a two-piece oil ring set for improved oil control, compared to the original three-piece design, said Boeglin. “Chrome steel nitrided top rings are used for improved durability and reduced cylinder wear.”
This JASPER remanufactured engine offers several additional advantages:
• Multi-layer steel (MLS) head gaskets are installed to reduce head gasket failure.
• 100% installation of NEW head bolts to ensure even clamp load.
• Block and heads are resurfaced to 50-150 RZ.
• De-stroked pistons to prevent detonation.
• 100% installation of NEW camshaft thrust washers to prevent camshaft end play and noise on 1st design heads.
• 100% testing of intake and exhaust cam actuators to verify proper performance.
• Crankshafts are micro-polished and machined to exact tolerances for improved bearing oil clearance.
• 100% installation of NEW nitrided valves for improved heat resistance and reduced valve guide wear.
The JASPER remanufactured GM 3.6L DOHC GDI engine is covered by a 3-Year/100,000 Mile nationwide transferable parts and labor warranty. Full warranty disclosure is available on our website, or upon request.
