{{refer_to|
txt=This page refers to the 24 valve 6G72 V6 used in the TE through TJ Magna. For information on the 12 valve V6 used in the Second Generation Magna/Verada see [[6G72 12v]]. For other versions of this engine see [[6G7x family]].}}

The '''24-valve 6G72''' is one of several variants of the 6G72 engine. As with it's [[6G72_12v|12 valve]] sibling used in the [[TR]]/[[TS]] series it is a 3.0 litre 60&ordm; V6 with single belt driven overhead camshafts.

The differences between the 24 and 12 valve SOHC 6G72 are:
*Mounts on the left-hand side of the engine bay (see the [[Engine side mount]] page for more information)
*4 valves per cylinder (24 valves in total)
*Two-piece alluminium and steel oil pan
*Spark plugs located centrally above the combustion chamber
*Metal head gaskets
*Discontinued Variable Length Inlet Runners.

Two variations of the 24 valve SOHC 6G72 engine were used in the Magna. One was used from the [[TE]] through [[TH]] models and the other in the [[TJ]] Magna. The latter used different camshafts which retarded the timing slightly to improve emissions.

The 24 valve SOHC 6G72 was built solely at [[Lonsdale]] and was exported throughout the world.
