scuffing, scoring or scratches. Usually a few strokes
will clean up a bore and maintain the required limits.(2) Deglazing of the cylinder walls may be done
using a cylinder surfacing hone, Tool C-3501, equipped
with 280 grit stones (C-3501-3810) if the cylinder bore
is straight and round. 20-60 strokes depending on the
bore condition will be sufficient to provide a satisfac-
tory surface. Inspect cylinder walls after each 20
strokes. Using a light honing oil available from major
oil distributors. Do not use engine or transmission
oil, mineral spirits or kerosene. (3) Honing should be done by moving the hone up
and down fast enough to get a cross-hatch pattern.
When hone marks intersectat 50-60 degrees, the
cross hatch angle is most satisfactory for proper seat-
ing of rings (Fig. 1).
(4) A controlled hone motor speed between 200-300
RPM is necessary to obtain the proper cross-hatch
angle. The number of up and down strokes per minute
can be regulated to get the desired 50-60 degree angle.
Faster up and down strokes increase the cross-hatch
angle. (5) After honing, it is necessary that the block be
cleaned again to remove all traces of abrasive.
CAUTION: Be sure all abrasive are removed from
engine parts after honing. It is recommended that a
solution of soap and hot water be used with a brush
and the parts then thoroughly dried. The bore can be
considered clean when it can be wiped clean with a
white cloth and cloth remains clean. Oil the bores
after cleaning to prevent rusting.
MEASURING MAIN BEARING CLEARANCE AND
CONNECTING ROD BEARING CLEARANCE
PLASTIGAGE METHOD
Engine crankshaft bearing clearances can be deter-
mined by use of Plastigage or equivalent. The follow-
ing is the recommended procedure for the use of
Plastigage: (1) Remove oil film from surface to be checked.
Plastigage is soluble in oil. (2) The total clearance of the main bearingscan
only be determined by removing the weight of the
crankshaft. This can be accomplished by either of
two methods: PREFERRED METHOD Ð Shimming the bear-
ings adjacent to the bearing to be checked in order to
remove the clearance between upper bearing shell
and the crankshaft. This can be accomplished by
placing a minimum of 0.254mm (.010 inch) shim (e.
g. cardboard, matchbook cover, etc.) between the
bearing shell and the bearing cap on the adjacent
bearings and snugging bolts to 14-20 N Im (10-15
ft.lb.)

Camshaft bearing journals and lobe wear. Lobe
wear should not exceed .25mm (.010 inch). To mea-
sure cam lobe wear (Fig. 8), measure lobe diameter
in two places at the largest diameter (over the nose).
Take first reading with micrometer in unworn area
at the edge of the lobe. Take second reading in the
worn area where rocker arm contacts the lobe. Sub-
tract second reading from the first. The difference is
the cam lobe wear.

without cam followers. Tighten screws to specified
torque. (2) Using a suitable tool, move camshaft as far
rearward as it will go. (3) Zero dial indicator (Fig. 9).

moved. (2) Align camshaft bearing caps in proper sequence
with Cap No. 1 at timing belt end and Cap No. 5 at

must point toward timing belt to prevent cap break-
age (Fig. 11). (3) Apply Mopar Gasket Maker to No.1 and No.5
bearing cap (Fig. 10). (4) Caps must be installed before camshaft seals

shaped and provides the same spring tension as
longer springs. Valve spring retainers, locks and
seals are conventional.INTAKE MANIFOLD: The aluminum alloy man-
ifold is a cross type with long runners to improve in-
ertia. The runners, attaching below at the cylinder
head, also attach above and support an air plenum.
The air plenum chamber absorbs air pulsations cre-
ated during the suction phase of each cylinder. EXHAUST MANIFOLDS: Both manifolds are a
log style made of ductile cast iron. Exhaust gasses,
collected from the front cylinder bank, leave the
front manifold through an end outlet and are fed
through an upper crossover tube to the rear mani-
fold. The collected exhaust from both manifolds are
combined, and exit to the exhaust pipe through an
articulated joint. ENGINE LUBRICATION: System is a full flow
filtration, pressure feed type. The oil pump is
mounted in the chaincase cover. The pump inner ro-
tor is driven by the crankshaft. The engine oil pan
contains a baffle plate to control oil level fluctuation
during engine operation.ENGINE MOUNTS
