OHV 3.0 liter. But I think the mechanic just called it a U.

Thanks for getting back with me.

Your concern might be the cam sensor and the syncronizer. To check this, you will need a mechanics stethoscope.

This unit is where the distributor use to go on the old 3.0 engines. It will be on the drivers side of the intake manifold. Here's a picture.
