13Apply a sealing compound to the faces of
the cylinder block and sump at the points
indicated(see illustration).
14Apply suitable thread-locking compound
to the sump securing studs and bolts, then
locate the sump on the cylinder block and fit
the securing nuts and bolts, but do not fully
tighten them at this stage.
15Align the sump so that the end faces and
the cylinder block are flush. To do this, use a
straight-edge. If the sump cannot be
positioned so that the faces of the cylinder
block and sump are flush, measure the
difference in height using a feeler blade as
shown (see illustration).
16Tighten the sump securing nuts and bolts
to the specified torque, then repeat the
measurement made in paragraph 15. If the
end faces of the sump and cylinder block are
not flush, suitable shims must be fitted
(available from a Ford dealer) between the
sump and the gearbox/transmission to
eliminate the clearance when mating the
engine to the gearbox/transmission. Note that
shims should be fitted at both sides of the
sump, as required. Select suitable shims from
those listed in the following table.
Clearance measuredShims required
0 to 0.25 mmNo shims required
0.25 to 0.29 mm0.15 mm (silver)
0.30 to 0.44 mm0.30 mm (light blue)
0.45 to 0.59 mm0.45 mm (red)
0.60 to 0.75 mm0.60 mm (black)
17If the engine is in the vehicle, reverse the
procedure described in paragraphs 3 to 8,
noting the following points.
a)Ensure that the roadwheels and the
steering wheel are in the straight-aheadposition then align the marks made on
removal and reconnect the intermediate
shaft to the steering gear. Tighten the
clamp bolt to the specified torque.
b)Fill the engine with the correct grade and
quantity of oil.
c)Refit the engine adapter plate and the
flywheel/driveplate.
d)Refit the gearbox or automatic
transmission, as applicable, ensuring that
the required shims are fitted between the

paragraphs 2 to 5 of this Chapter, and refitting
as described in Part A, Section 37, noting the
following additional points:
a)Take note of the orientation of the bearing
shells during dismantling, and ensure that
they are fitted correctly during reassembly.
b)When fitting the pistons, ensure that the
arrow on the piston crown and the letter F
on the face of the connecting rod are
pointing towards the front of the engine.
c)Use new connecting rod bolts on
reassembly; before fitting, oil the threads
and the contact faces of the bolts. Tighten
the bolts to the three stages given in the
Specifications.
d)Refit the oil baffle and tighten the securing
nuts.
e)Clean the mating faces of the cylinder
block and the oil pick-up pipe, and refit
the pick-up pipe using a new gasket.
f)Refit the cylinder head and the sump.Note: A new crankshaft rear oil seal and a new
rear oil seal housing gasket should be used on
reassembly.
1With the engine removed from the vehicle,
remove the timing chain and crankshaft
sprocket, and the flywheel/driveplate.
2Remove the pistons and connecting rods. If
no work is to be done on the pistons and
connecting rods, there is no need to push the
pistons out of the cylinder bores.
3Unbolt the crankshaft rear oil seal housing
and remove it from the rear of the cylinder
block. Recover the gasket and discard it.
4Unscrew the two securing bolts and remove
the sump mounting plate from the front of the

marks, and if necessary use a centre punch to
identify them (see illustration).
6Before removing the crankshaft, check that
the endfloat is within the specified limits by
inserting a feeler blade between the centre
crankshaft web and one of the thrustwashers
(the thrustwashers are fitted to the crankcase,
not the bearing cap). This will indicate whether
or not new thrustwashers are required.

The V6 engine fitted to the Granada is only
available in fuel-injected form. Mechanically,
the design of the engine is well-established,
and it is improved by the latest fuel, ignition and
engine management systems (see illustration).
The combined crankcase and cylinder block
is made of cast iron, and houses the pistons,
crankshaft and camshaft. The sump is
attached to the bottom of the crankcase and
the cylinder heads to the top.
The cylinder heads are of the crossflow
design, the inlet manifold being located
between them and the exhaust manifolds
being on the outboard sides. The overhead
valves are operated by tappets, pushrods and
rockers from the centrally located camshaft.
Camshaft drive is by gears (2.8 litre) or chain
(2.4 & 2.9 litre).
The crankshaft runs in four main bearings.
Endfloat is controlled by thrust flanges on the
No 3 bearing shells. The connecting rods are
selected so that all are in the same weight class.
Aluminium alloy pistons are used. The
gudgeon pins are an interference fit in their
connecting rods.The lubrication system is of the usual wet
sump, pressure fed type, with a full-flow
disposable canister oil filter. The oil pump is
driven by a shaft which engages in the bottom
of the distributor drivegear.
The following operations can be carried out
without removing the engine, although some
work will be easier and quicker with the engine
removed.
a)Removal and refitting of the cylinder
heads
b)Removal and refitting of the sump and oil
pump
c)Removal and refitting of the timing gears
d)Removal and refitting of the pistons,
connecting rods and big-end bearings
e)Renewal of the engine mountings
f)Removal and refitting of the flywheel
g)Renewal of the crankshaft front and rear
oil seals
h)Removal and refitting of the camshaft
(after removal of the cylinder heads,
tappets and timing gears)The engine must be removed for the
following operations:
a)Renewal of the crankshaft main bearings
b)Removal and refitting of the crankshaft
The engine is removed from above, without
the transmission. Removal with the
transmission is not recommended because of
the weight and unwieldiness of the combined
units.

Models covered in this Manual have disc
brakes fitted all round. The footbrake operates
hydraulically on all four wheels, and the
handbrake operates mechanically on the rear
wheels. Both footbrake and handbrake are
self-adjusting in use.
Ford’s anti-lock braking system (ABS) is
fitted to all models. The system monitors the
rotational speed of each roadwheel. When a
wheel begins to lock under heavy braking, the
ABS reduces the hydraulic pressure to that
wheel, so preventing it from locking. When this
happens a pulsating effect will be noticed at
the brake pedal. On some road surfaces the
tyres may squeal when braking hard even
though the wheels are not locked.
The main components of the system are the
hydraulic unit, the calipers, pads and discs,
the wheel sensors and the “brain” or control
module. The hydraulic unit contains the
elements of a traditional master cylinder, plus
an electric motor and pump, a pressure
accumulator and control valves. The pump is
the source of pressure for the system and
does away with the need for a vacuum servo.
The hydraulic circuit is split front and rear,
as is normal practice with rear-wheel drive
vehicles. In the event that the hydraulic pump
fails, unassisted braking effort is still available
on the front calipers only.
Warning lights inform the driver of low brake
fluid level, ABS failure and (on some models)
brake pad wear. The low fluid level light
doubles as a “handbrake on” light; if it
illuminates at the same time as the ABS
warning light, it warns of low hydraulic
pressure.
ABS cannot overturn the laws of physics:
stopping distances will inevitably be greater on
loose or slippery surfaces. However, the system
should allow even inexperienced drivers to
retain directional control under panic braking.
From August 1986 the following
modifications were made to the braking
system.
a)The relays differ from earlier versions.b)The hydraulic pump is constructed of iron
rather than alloy.
c)A new pressure warning switch is used.
d)The earlier high pressure rubber hose is
replaced by a steel pipe.
To overcome the problem of excessive rear
brake pad wear, Ford introduced a differential
valve which is screwed into the ABS valve
block.The valve limits the pressure applied to
the rear brake calipers and so reduces brake
pad wear. From 1988 onwards, the valve has
been fitted during production. The differential
valve can also be fitted to earlier models. Refer
to your Ford dealer for further information.
From April 1992 onwards, the models
covered in this Manual were equipped with a
new Teves MK IV anti-lock braking system
instead of the Teves MK II system fitted to the
earlier models.
The Teves MK IV system differs from the
earlier MK II system in the following ways.
a)The source of hydraulic pressure for the
system is a conventional master cylinder
and vacuum servo assembly.
b)A valve block and pump assembly is used
instead of the hydraulic control unit. The
block contains the inlet and outlet
solenoid valves that control the hydraulic
system. There are three pairs of valves,
one for each brake circuit (paragraph c).
c)The hydraulic braking system consists of
three separate circuits; one for each front
brake (which are totally independent of
each other), and a joint circuit which
operates both rear brakes.
d)A G (gravity) switch is incorporated in the
system. This is an inertia type switch and
informs the control module when the
vehicle is decelerating rapidly.
e)A Pedal Travel Sensor (PTS) is fitted to the
vacuum servo unit. The PTS informs the
control module of the position of the brake
pedal when the anti-lock sequence starts
and ensures that a constant pedal height
is maintained during the sequence.
The MK IV system operates as follows.
During normal operation the system
functions in the same way as a non-ABS
system would. During this time the three inlet
valves in the valve block are open and theoutlet valves are closed, allowing full hydraulic
pressure present in the master cylinder to act
on the main braking circuit. If the control
module receives a signal from one of the
wheel sensors and senses that a wheel is
about to lock, it closes the relevant inlet valve
in the valve block which then isolates the
brake caliper on the wheel which is about to
lock from the master cylinder, effectively
sealing in the hydraulic pressure. If the speed
of rotation of the wheel continues to decrease
at an abnormal rate, the control module will
then open the relevant outlet valve in the valve
block; this allows the fluid from the relevant
hydraulic circuit to return to the master
cylinder reservoir, releasing pressure on the
brake caliper so that the brake is released. The
pump in the valve block also operates to assist
in the quick release of pressure. Once the
speed of rotation of the wheel returns to an
acceptable rate the pump stops, the outlet
valve closes and the inlet valve is opened,
allowing the hydraulic master cylinder
pressure to return to the caliper which then
reapplies the brake. This cycle can be carried
many times a second. The solenoid valves
connected to the front calipers operate
independently, but the valve connected to the
rear calipers operates both calipers
simultaneously.
The operation of the ABS system is entirely
dependent on electrical signals. To prevent
the system responding to any inaccurate
signals, a built-in safety circuit monitors all
signals received by the control module. If an
inaccurate signal or low battery voltage is
detected, the ABS system is automatically
shut down and the warning lamp on the
instrument cluster is illuminated to inform the
driver that the ABS system is not operational.
Whilst in this state the system functions in the
same way as a non-ABS system would. If a
fault does develop in the ABS system, the car
must be taken to a Ford dealer for fault
diagnosis and repair. The system is equipped
with a diagnostic plug into which a special
diagnostic (STAR) tester can be plugged. This
allows faults to be easily traced.
