Chevrolet Lumina & Lumina Van Engines Overview
The Chevrolet Lumina and Lumina Van were designed for families who needed comfort, space, and reliable power. Most came with 3.1L or 3.4L V6 engines — tough workhorses built to last, but like any engine, time and mileage can take a toll.
Common Problems
After years of service, many Luminas experience:
- Head gasket leaks causing oil and coolant to mix.
- Intake manifold gasket failure, leading to misfires or rough idle.
- Sludge buildup from inconsistent oil changes.
- Cooling system issues such as failing radiators or water pumps.
Left unchecked, these issues can lead to full engine failure or overheating on long drives.
Why Remanufactured?
A remanufactured Lumina engine offers the reliability of a factory-fresh motor at a fraction of the cost. Gearhead Engines replaces every gasket, bearing, and seal with new components, restoring the V6’s performance and fuel efficiency.
You’ll also gain:
- Peace of mind with a multi-year warranty.
- Better long-term value than replacing the vehicle.
- Environmentally conscious repair — reusing core materials rather than scrapping the car.
Your Lumina still has years of dependable service left. With a remanufactured engine from Gearhead Engines, you’ll get the same smooth performance that made you love it in the first place.
