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

CYLINDER HEADS: Cylinder heads incorporate
valve shrouding to create turbulence-producing com-
bustion chambers, described as fast burn. Valve seat
and guides are inserts. A steel flanged composition
type gasket is used between head and block. VALVE COVERS: The covers are sealed with
steel reinforced silicon rubber gaskets. INTAKE MANIFOLD: The intake manifold is a
tuned two-piece semi-permanent mold aluminum casting with individual primary runners leading
from a plenum to the cylinders. The manifold is de-
signed to boost torque in the 3600 rpm range and
contributes to the engine's broad, flat torque curve,
which was desired for excellent engine tractability,
response and usable power output. The intake manifold is also cored with upper level
EGR passages for balanced cylinder to cylinder EGR
distribution. VALVE TRAIN: Valve train design incorporates
the use of hydraulic roller tappets. Rocker arms are
installed on a rocker arm shaft attached to the cylin-
der head with four bolts and retainers. Viton valve
stem seals provide valve sealing. Conventional type
pushrods, retainers and valve stem locks are used.

ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The lubrication system is a full flow filtration pres-
sure feed type. Oil from the oil pan is pumped by a
internal gear type oil pump directly coupled to the
crankshaft. Its pressure is regulated by a relief valve
located in the Chain Case Cover. The oil is pumped
through an oil filter and feeds a main oil galley.This
oil gallery feeds oil under pressure to the main and
rod bearings, camshaft bearings. Passages in the cyl-
inder block feed oil to the hydraulic lifters and
rocker shaft brackets which feeds the rocker arm piv-
ots (Fig. 1).

with a minimum octane of 87 may be used. However,
the use of lower octane gasoline will result in re-
duced performance.
FLEXIBLE FUEL AA-BODY VEHICLES
These vehicles will operate on either unleaded gas-
oline with a minimum posted octane of 87 or M85
fuel. M85 fuel is a mixture of 85 percent methanol
and 15 percent unleaded gasoline. The vehicle also
will operate on mixture of M85 and unleaded gaso-
line with a minimum posted octane of 87. Do not
use 100 percent methanol in these vehicles.
THE FOLLOWING IS APPLICABLE TO ALL VEHICLES
Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued heavy
spark knock at high speeds can cause damage and
should be reported to your dealer immediately. En-
gine damage resulting from operating with a heavy
spark knock may not be covered by the new vehicle
warranty. In addition to using unleaded gasoline with the
proper octane rating, gasolines that contain deter-
gents, corrosion and stability additives are recom-
mended. Using gasolines that have these additives
will help improve fuel economy, reduce emissions,
and maintain vehicle performance. Generally, pre-
mium unleaded gasolines contain more additive than
regular unleaded. Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as
hard starting, stalling, and stumble. If you experi-
ence these problems, try another brand of gasoline
before considering service for the vehicle.
GASOLINE/OXYGENATE BLENDS
Some fuel suppliers blend gasoline with materials
that contain oxygen such as alcohol, MTBE (Methyl
Tertiary Butyl Ether) and ETBE (Ethyl Tertiary Bu-
tyl Ether). The type and amount of oxygenate used
in the blend is important. The following are generally used in gasoline
blends: Ethanol - (Ethyl or Grain Alcohol) properly blended, is used as a mixture of 10 percent ethanol
and 90 percent gasoline. Gasoline blended with eth-
anol may be used in your vehicle. Methanol - (Methyl or Wood Alcohol) is used in a
variety of concentrations when blended with un-
leaded gasoline. You may find fuels containing 3 per-
cent or more methanol along with other alcohols
called cosolvents. Do not use gasolines containing Methanol.
Use of methanol/gasoline blends may result in
starting and driveability problems and damage criti-
cal fuel system components. Problems that are the result of using methanol/gas-
oline blends are not the responsibility of Chrysler
Motors and may not be covered by the new vehicle
warranty. MTBE/ETBE - Gasoline and MTBE (Methyl Ter-
tiary Butyl Ether) blends are a mixture of unleaded
gasoline blended and up to 15 percent MTBE. Gaso-
line and ETBE (Ethyl Tertiary Butly Ether) are
blends of gasoline and up to 17 percent ETBE. Gas-
oline blended with MTBE or ETBE may be used in
your vehicle. Clean Air Gasoline
Many gasolines are now being blended that con-
tribute to cleaner air, especially in those areas of the
country where pollution levels are high. These new
blends provide a cleaner burning fuel and some are
referred to as reformulated gasoline. In areas of the country where carbon monoxide lev-
els are high, gasolines are being treated with oxy-
genated materials such as ETBE, MTBE and
ethanol. The use of gasoline blended with these ma-
terials also contributes to cleaner air. Chrysler Corporation supports these efforts toward
cleaner air and recommends that you use these gas-
olines as they become available. Materials Added to Fuel
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning agents
should be avoided. Many of these materials intended
for gum and varnish removal may contain active sol-
vents of similar ingredients that can be harmful to
fuel system gasket and diaphragm materials.
