BELT DIAGNOSIS SERPENTINE DRIVE BELT DIAGNOSIS-ALL
ENGINES
When diagnosing serpentine drive belts, small
cracks that run across ribbed surface of belt from rib
to rib (Fig. 1), are considered normal. These are not
a
reason
to
replace belt. However, cracks running along
a rib (not
across)
are not
normal.
Any
belt
with cracks running along
a rib
must
be
replaced (Fig.
1).
Also replace belt
if it has
excessive wear,
frayed cords
or
severe glazing.
Refer to the Serpentine Drive Belt Diagnosis charts
for further belt diagnosis. Also refer

the
circuitry
of
the wiper system
and the
vehicle. The same motor
is
used
for
standard
and
intermit
tent wipe systems. The wiper motor
has
permanent magnet fields.
The
speeds
are
determined
by
current flow
to the
appro
priate
set of
brushes. The intermittent wipe system

(3) Honing
should be
done
by moving the
hone
up
and down
fast
enough
to get a Crosshatch pattern.
The hone

(4)
A
controlled hone motor speed between
200 and
300
RPM is
necessary
to
obtain
the
proper Crosshatch angle.
The
number
of up and
down strokes
per
minute
can be
regulated
to get the
desired
50° to 60°
angle. Faster
up and
down strokes increase
the
cross-
hatch angle.
(5) After honing,
it is
necessary that
the
block
be
cleaned
to
remove
all
traces
of
abrasive.
Use a
brush
to wash parts with
a
solution
of hot
water
and
deter gent.
Dry
parts thoroughly.
Use a
clean, white, lint-
free cloth
to
check that
the
bore
is
clean.
Oil the
bores after cleaning
to
prevent rusting.
MEASURING
WITH
PLASTIGAGE
CRANKSHAFT
MAIN BEARING CLEARANCE Engine crankshaft bearing clearances
can be
deter
mined
by use of
Plastigage,
or
equivalent.
The
fol lowing
is the
recommended procedures
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 bearings
can
only
be
determined
by
removing
the
weight
of the
crankshaft. This
can be
accomplished
by
either
of
two methods:
METHOD - 1
(PREFERRED)—Shim
the
bear
ings adjacent
to the
bearing
to be
checked. This will
remove
the
clearance between upper bearing shell and
the
crankshaft. Place
a
minimum
of
0.254
mm
(0.010 inch) shim between
the
bearing shell
and the
adjacent bearing cap. Tighten
the
bolts
to 18 N*m (13

(ALTERNATIVE)—The weight
of
the crankshaft
is
supported
by a
jack under
the
coun
terweight adjacent
to the
bearing being checked.
(3) Place
a
piece
of
Plastigage across
the
entire
width
of the
bearing
cap
shell
(Fig. 2).
Position
the
Plastigage approximately
6.35 mm (1/4
inch)
off
cen
ter
and
away from
the oil
holes.
In
addition, suspect areas
can be
checked
by
placing
the
Plastigage
in
that area. Tighten
the
bearing
cap
bolts
of the
bear
ing being checked
to 115 N»m (85 ft. lbs.)
torque.
DO
NOT rotate
the
crankshaft
or the
Plastigage
may
be smeared, giving inaccurate results.
Fig.

Placement
of
Plastigage
in
Bearing
Shell
(4) Remove
the
bearing
cap and
compare
the
width
of
the
flattened Plastigage with
the
scale provided
on
the package
(Fig. 3).
Plastigage generally comes
in 2
scales
(one
scale
is in
inches
and the
other
is a
met
ric scale). Locate
the
band closest
to the
same width.
This band shows
the
amount
of
clearance. Differ ences
in
readings between
the
ends indicate
the
amount
of
taper present. Record
all
readings taken (refer
to
Engine Specifications).
(5) Plastigage
is
available
in a
variety
of
clearance
ranges.
The
0.025-0.076
mm
(0.001-0.003 inch) range is usually
the
most appropriate
for
checking engine
bearing clearances.

GENERAL
INFORMATION The NV4500
is a
five-speed, constant mesh manual
transmission (Fig.
1). All
gear ranges including
re
verse
are
synchronized. Fifth gear
is an
overdrive
range with
a
ratio
of
0.74:1.
The transmission has
a
cast iron gear case and aluminum shift cover. The NV4500
is a
top loader style transmission. The
shift lever
is
located
in the
shift cover and operates
the shift forks and rails directly. The shift forks and
rails
are all
located within
the
aluminum cover
which
is
bolted
to
the top
of
the gear case.
A reverse gear inhibitor mechanism prevents
re
verse gear engagement when shifting into forward
gear ranges. The inhibitor mechanism
is
located
in
the shift cover.
Tapered roller bearings support
the
drive gear,
mainshaft
and
countershaft
in the
gear case. Pilot
roller bearings
in
the drive gear hub support the for
ward end
of
the mainshaft. The mainshaft gears
are
all supported
on
caged type roller bearings. Drive
gear thrust reaction
is
controlled
by a
needle type
thrust bearing. The bearing
is
located
at
the forward
end
of
the mainshaft.
TRANSMISSION
IDENTIFICATION The NV4500 transmission identification
tag is at
tached
to
the driver side PTO cover (Fig.
2).
The
tag
provides
the
transmission model number,
build date and part number.
Be
sure
to
reinstall
the
I.D.
tag if
removed during service. The information
on the tag
is
essential
to
correct parts ordering.
