CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS Fit all rods on a bank until completed. DO NOT al­
ternate from one bank to another, because connect­ ing rods and pistons are not interchangeable from
one bank to another.
The bearing caps are not interchangeable and
should be marked at removal to ensure correct as­ sembly.
Each bearing cap has a small V-groove across the
parting face. When installing the lower bearing shell, make certain that the V-groove in the shell is
in line with the V-groove in the cap. This provides
lubrication of the cylinder wall in the opposite bank.
The bearing shells must be installed so that the
tangs are in the machined grooves in the rods and
caps.
Limits of taper or out-of-round on any crankshaft
journals should be held to 0.025 mm (0.001 inch). Bearings are available in 0.025 mm (0.001 inch), 0.051 mm (0.002 inch), 0.076 mm (0.003 inch), 0.254
mm (0.010 inch) and 0.305 mm (0.012 inch) under-

size.
Install the bearings in pairs. DO NOT use a
new bearing half with an old bearing
half.
DO
NOT file the rods or bearing caps.
INSTALLATION (1) Be sure that compression ring gaps are stag­
gered so that neither is in-line with oil ring rail gap. (2) Before installing the ring compressor, make
sure the oil ring expander ends are butted and the
rail gaps located properly (Fig. 14).
(3) Immerse the piston head and rings in clean en­
gine oil. Slide Piston Ring Compressor Tool C-385
over the piston and tighten with the special wrench (part of Tool C-385). Be sure position of rings does
not change during this operation.
(4) Install connecting rod bolt protectors on rod

bolts,
the long protector should be installed on the numbered side of the connecting rod. (5) Rotate crankshaft so that the connecting rod
journal is on the center of the cylinder bore. Be sure connecting rod and cylinder bore number are the
same. Insert rod and piston into cylinder bore and
guide rod over the crankshaft journal.
(6) Tap the piston down in cylinder bore, using a
hammer handle. At the same time, guide connecting
rod into position on crankshaft journal.
(7) The notch or groove on top of piston must be
pointing toward front of engine. The larger chamfer
of the connecting rod bore must be installed toward
crankshaft journal fillet.
(8) Install rod caps. Be sure connecting rod, con­
necting rod cap and cylinder bore number are the same. Install nuts on cleaned and oiled rod bolts and
tighten nuts to 61 N»m (45 ft. lbs.) torque.
(9) Install the oil pan. (10) Install the cylinder head.
(11) Install the engine into the vehicle.

CRANKSHAFT
A crankshaft which has undersize journals will be
stamped with 1/4 inch letters near the notch of the
No.6 crankshaft counterweight (Fig. 15). FOR EXAMPLE:R2 stamped on the No.6 crank­
shaft counterweight indicates that the No.2 rod jour­
nal is 0.025 mm (0.001 in) undersize. M4 indicates
that the No.4 main journal is 0.025 mm (0.001 in) undersize. R3 M2 indicates that the No.3 rod journal
and the No.2 main journal are 0.025 mm (0.001 in) undersize.

INSPECTION OF JOURNALS The crankshaft connecting rod and main journals
should be checked for excessive wear, taper and scor­
ing. The maximum taper or out-of-round on any crankshaft journal is 0.025 mm (0.001 inch). Journal grinding should not exceed 0.305 mm
(0.012 inch) under the standard journal diameter. DO
NOT grind thrust faces of No.3 main bearing. DO
NOT nick crank pin or bearing fillets. After grind­ ing, remove rough edges from crankshaft oil holes
and clean out all oil passages.

CAUTION:
After any journal
grind,
it is important

that
the
final
paper or cloth
polish
be in the
same
direction as the engine rotates.
INSTALLATION (1) Lightly oil the new upper seal lips with engine

oil.
(2) Install the new upper rear bearing oil seal with
the yellow paint facing towards the rear of the en­
gine.
(3) Position the crankshaft into the cylinder block.
(4) Lightly oil the new lower seal lips with engine

oil.

(5) Install the new lower rear bearing oil seal into
the bearing cap with the yellow paint facing towards
the rear of the engine.

(6)
Apply 5 mm (0.20 in) drop of Loctite 515, or
equivalent, on each side of the rear main bearing cap (Fig. 16). Do not over apply sealant or allow the seal­
ant to contact the rubber seal. Assemble bearing cap
to cylinder block immediately after sealant applica­ tion.

FUEL SYSTEM

fill
DHADn
HIAf5MflCTipQ
/f|Rn

The powertrain control module (PCM) has been
programmed to monitor many different circuits of the
fuel injection system. If a problem is sensed in a monitored circuit often enough to indicate an actual
problem, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored.
The DTC will be stored in the PCM memory for eventual display to the service technician. If the
problem is repaired or ceases to exist, the PCM can­ cels the DTC after 51 engine starts.
Certain criteria must be met for a diagnostic trou­
ble code (DTC) to be entered into PCM memory. The criteria may be a specific range of engine rpm, en­
gine temperature and/or input voltage to the PCM.
It is possible that a DTC for a monitored circuit
may not be entered into memory even though a mal­
function has occurred. This may happen because one
of the DTC criteria for the circuit has not been met. Example: assume that one of the criteria for the
MAP sensor circuit is that the engine must be oper­ ating between 750 and 2000 rpm to be monitored for
a DTC. If the MAP sensor output circuit shorts to
ground when the engine rpm is above 2400 rpm, a 0
volt input will be seen by the PCM. A DTC will not
be entered into memory because the condition does not occur within the specified rpm range.
A DTC indicates that the powertrain control mod­
ule (PCM) has recognized an abnormal signal in a
circuit or the system. A DTC may indicate the result
of a failure, but never identify the failed component
directly.
There are several operating conditions that the
PCM does not monitor and set a DTC for. Refer to
the following Monitored Circuits and Non-Monitored Circuits in this section.

MONITORED
CIRCUITS
The powertrain control module (PCM) can detect
certain problems in the fuel injection system.
Open or Shorted Circuit - The PCM can deter­
mine if sensor output (which is the input to PCM) is
within proper range. It also determines if the circuit is open or shorted.
Output Device Current Flow - The PCM senses
whether the output devices are hooked up.
If there is a problem with the circuit, the PCM
senses whether the circuit is open, shorted to ground
(-), or shorted to
(
+
)
voltage.
Oxygen Sensor - The PCM can determine if the
oxygen sensor is switching between rich and lean.
This is, once the system has entered Closed Loop. Re­ fer to Open Loop/Closed Loop Modes Of Operation in
the Component Description/System Operation section
for an explanation of Closed (or Open) Loop opera­ tion.
NON-MONITORED CIRCUITS

The PCM does not monitor the following circuits,
systems or conditions that could have malfunctions
that result in driveability problems. A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) may not be displayed for these
conditions.
Fuel Pressure: Fuel pressure is controlled by the
vacuum assisted fuel pressure regulator. The PCM
cannot detect a clogged fuel pump inlet filter, clogged
in-line fuel filter, or a pinched fuel supply or return

line.
However, these could result in a rich or lean
condition causing an oxygen sensor DTC to be stored in the PCM.
Secondary Ignition Circuit: The PCM cannot de­
tect an inoperative ignition coil, fouled or worn spark

plugs,
ignition cross firing, or open circuited spark
plug cables.
Engine Timing: The PCM cannot detect an incor­
rectly indexed timing chain, camshaft sprocket or crankshaft sprocket. The PCM also cannot detect an
incorrectly indexed distributor. However, these could
result in a rich or lean condition causing an oxygen
sensor DTC to be stored in the PCM.
Cylinder Compression: The PCM cannot detect
uneven, low, or high engine cylinder compression.
Exhaust System: The PCM cannot detect
a

plugged, restricted or leaking exhaust system.
Fuel Injector Malfunctions: The PCM cannot de­
termine if the fuel injector is clogged, or the wrong injector is installed. However, these could result in a
rich or lean condition causing an oxygen sensor DTC
to be stored in the PCM.
Excessive Oil Consumption: Although the PCM
monitors exhaust stream oxygen content through ox­
ygen sensor (closed loop), it cannot determine exces­ sive oil consumption.
Throttle Body Air Flow: The PCM cannot detect
a clogged or restricted air cleaner inlet or air filter
element.
Evaporative System: The PCM will not detect a
restricted, plugged or loaded EVAP canister. Vacuum Assist: Leaks or restrictions in the vac­
uum circuits of vacuum assisted engine control sys­
tem devices are not monitored by the PCM. However, a vacuum leak at the MAP sensor will be monitored
and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be gener­
ated by the PCM.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) System
Ground: The PCM cannot determine a poor system
ground. However, a DTC may be generated as a re­
sult of this condition.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Connector
Engagement: The PCM cannot determine spread or
damaged connector pins. However, a DTC may be generated as a result of this condition.
