engine and connecting rod oil squirt hole should face camshaft side of
engine.
3) Install bearings. Check oil clearance and connecting rod
side play clearance. Reverse removal procedures for remaining
components. Tighten bolts to specification.
Fitting Pistons
1) Determine cylinder taper, wear and out-of-roundness and
piston clearance. For cylinder specifications, see CYLINDER, PISTON &
CONNECTING ROD SPECIFICATIONS table. If taper or out-of-roundness are
not within specification, hone or bore cylinders for installation of
new pistons.
2) Measure piston at right angle of the piston pin at the
center line of the pin. Compare reading to cylinder bore to determine
clearance. Mark fitted piston for cylinder location.

PISTON PIN REPLACEMENT
NOTE: Note direction of arrow on piston and oil squirt hole in
connecting rod prior to removal.
Removal
Position piston on Support (J-21872-1), Pin Pilot (J-21872-2\
)
and Driver (J-21872-3) on an arbor press. See Fig. 6. Press piston pin
from piston.
NOTE: Piston and pin must be at standard room temperature when
measuring fit. Piston pin should gravity-fall through the
piston at room temperature. Piston pin cannot be reused
after removal.
Inspection
Measure piston pin diameter, piston bore and connecting rod
bores. Replace components if not within specification. See CYLINDER,
PISTON & CONNECTING ROD SPECIFICATIONS table.
NOTE: Connecting rod must be positioned on the piston so the oil
squirt hole faces the camshaft side of the engine with
piston installed with arrow toward the front of the engine.
Installation
1) Insert pin pilot through piston and connecting rod. Place
assembly on support. Insert piston pin through the upper piston pin
bore and into connecting rod pin bore. See Fig. 6.

2) Disconnect heater hoses and lower radiator hose at water
pump. Remove water pump retaining bolts. Remove water pump.
Installation
Clean all gasket surfaces. Install water pump. Tighten bolts
to specification. Ensure pump turns freely. Reverse removal
procedures. Fill and purge air from cooling system.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove heater hose to remove trapped
air if system cannot be purged using following procedures.
Cooling System Air Purge (Vehicles With Coolant Recovery)
Fill system to proper level. Place heater control to "HEAT"
position and temperature control to "WARM" or "HIGH" position. Install
coolant caps. Operate engine to normal operating temperature. Shut off
engine and allow system to cool. Add coolant to recovery bottle.
Repeat procedure to obtain correct coolant level.
Cooling System Air Purge (Vehicles Without Coolant Recovery)
Fill system to proper level. Place heater control to "HEAT"
position and temperature control to "WARM" or "HIGH" position. Operate
engine to normal operating temperature with radiator cap removed. Add
necessary coolant and install radiator cap.
NOTE: For further information on cooling system capacities and
other cooling system components, see ENGINE COOLING SYSTEMS
article.
ENGINE OILING
CRANKCASE CAPACITY
Crankcase capacity is 4 qts. (3.8 L) with oil filter change.
NORMAL OIL PRESSURE
Normal oil pressure should be 13 psi (.91 kg/cm) at 600 RPM
or 37-75 psi (2.6-5.3 kg/cm) at 1600 RPM.
OIL PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE

OILING SYSTEM
Engine lubrication is provided by the distributor driven
gear-type oil pump. Oil is supplied through the full-flow oil filter
and into an internal oil passage. Internal passage runs along right
side of block and intersects lifter bores.
Oil is then routed to camshaft and crankshaft bearings. Oil
is supplied to rocker arms from the hydraulic lifters and through the
push rods. By-pass valves are located in oil filter mounting and oil
pump.

of the scale, a symbol for defroster indicates defrost position. In
"BI-LEVEL" position, a mixture of floor heat and defroster air is
obtained.
The lower temperature control lever operates blend-air door
in heater core housing. At full right position, all air is directed
through heater core, providing maximum heat flow. At full left
position, all air is directed around heater core providing fresh air.
Control can be set in any intermediate position to provide a blend of
heated and unheated air. Heater must be in heat or defrost mode before
any air can enter vehicle.
