OIL PUMP REMOVAL
(1) Remove two (2) screws holding oil pump to cyl- inder block assembly (Fig. 5).
INSTALLATION
(1) Apply Mopar Gasket Maker to pump body-to-
block interface (machined surface). (2) Lubricate oil pump rotor & shaft and drive
gear. (3) Turn crankshaft and intermediate shaft until
markings on sprockets are in line (arrows Fig. 6).
(4) Slot in oil pump shaft mustbe parallel to cen-
ter line of crankshaft when intermediate shaft and
crankshaft are properly timed (Fig. 7).
(5) Install pump full depth and rotate back and
forth slightly to ensure proper positioning and align-
ment through full surface contact of pump and block
machined interface surfaces (Fig. 5).

CAUTION: Pump must be held in fully seated posi-
tion (described above) while installing screws. (6) Tighten screws to 23 N Im (200 in. lbs.).
INSPECTION
(1) Check rotor end clearance with feeler gauge as
shown in (Fig. 8). (2) Limits:
² 0.03mm (.001 inch) minimum.
² 0.09mm (.0035 inch) maximum.
(3) Thickness: 23.96mm (.9435 inch) minimum.
Outer Diameter: 62.7mm (2.469 inch) minimum (Fig.
9). (4) Install with large chamfered edge in pump
body (Fig. 9).
Clearance: 0.20mm (.008 inch) maximum (Fig. 10). Clearance: 0.35mm (.014 inch) maximum (Fig. 11).
Clearance: 0.076mm (.003 inch) maximum (Fig.
12). Oil pressure relief valve spring: Free length:
49.5mm (1.95 inch). Load: 89 N at 34mm. Load: (20
lbs. at 1.34 inch) (Fig. 13). Thickness: 23.96mm (.9435 inch) Minimum (Fig.
14).
CHECKING ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
(1) Remove pressure sending unit and install Spe-
cial Tool S-94 with gauge assembly C-3292 (Fig. 15). (2) Warm engine at high idle until thermostat
opens.
CAUTION: If oil pressure is 0 at idle, Do Not Run
engine at 3000 RPM

(3) Oil Pressure: Curb Idle25 kPa (4 psi) mini-
mum 3000 RPM 170-550 kPa (25-80 psi).
OIL FILTER
ANTI-DRAIN BACK VALVE
Installation: Apply liquid (Teflon Type) sealant to
valve-to-block threads (Fig. 16). Tighten assembly to
55 N Im (40 ft. lbs.).
FILTER
CAUTION: When servicing the oil filter (Fig. 16)
avoid deforming the filter can by installing the re-
move/install tool band strap against the can-to-base
lockseam. The lockseam joining the can to the base
is reinforced by the base plate.
(1) Turn counter clockwise to remove.
(2) To install, lubricate new filter gasket. Check
filter mounting surface. The surface must be smooth,
flat and free of debris or old pieces of rubber. Screw
filter on until gasket contacts base. Tighten to 3/4 to
1 turn.

GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER OR CODE
The engine identification number is located on the
rear of the cylinder block just below the cylinder
head (Fig. 1). BLOCK: The cylinder block is a light weight de-
sign created by reducing thickness in many parts
and a short 10 mm (3/8 inch) block skirt. High rigid-
ity is provided with ribs cast in the outer wall, a full
length water jacket, and a monoblock or beam type, main bearing cap. This single unit four bearing cap
is designed to control vibration of the cylinder block
partition walls.
CRANKSHAFT: A six throw, five weight crank-
shaft is supported by four main bearings with num-
ber three being the thrust bearing. The six separate
connecting rod throws pins reduce torque fluctua-
tions while a torsional vibration damper is used to
control torsion caused vibration of the crankshaft.
Rubber lipped seals are used at front and rear. The
front seal is retained in the oil pump case and the
rear is retained in a block-mounted housing.
