OIL PUMP
A gear-type oil pump is mounted at the underside
of the cylinder block opposite the No.4 main bearing.
The pump incorporates a nonadjustable pressure
relief valve to limit maximum pressure to 517 kPa
(75 psi). In the relief position, the valve permits oil to
bypass through a passage in the pump body to the
inlet side of the pump.
Oil pump removal or replacement will not affect
the distributor timing because the distributor drive
gear remains in mesh with the camshaft gear.
REMOVAL
(1) Drain the engine oil.
(2) Remove the oil pan.
(3) Remove the pump-to-cylinder block attaching
bolts. Remove the pump assembly with gasket (Fig.
5).
CAUTION: If the oil pump is not to be serviced, DO
NOT disturb position of oil inlet tube and strainer
assembly in pump body. If the tube is moved within
the pump body, a replacement tube and strainer as-
sembly must be installed to assure an airtight seal.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the oil pump on the cylinder block using
a replacement gasket. Tighten the bolts to 23 Nzm
(17 ft. lbs.) torque.
(2) Install the oil pan.
(3) Fill the oil pan with oil to the specified level.
OIL PUMP PRESSURE
The MINIMUM oil pump pressure is 89.6 kPa (13
psi) at 600 rpm. The MAXIMUM oil pump pressure
is 255-517 kPa (37-75 psi) at 1600 rpm or more.
PISTONS AND CONNECTING RODS
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the engine cylinder head cover.
(2) Remove the rocker arms, bridges and pivots.
(3) Remove the push rods.
(4) Remove the engine cylinder head.
(5) Position the pistons one at a time near the bot-
tom of the stroke. Use a ridge reamer to remove the
ridge from the top end of the cylinder walls. Use a
protective cloth to collect the cuttings.
(6) Raise the vehicle.
(7) Drain the engine oil.
(8) Remove the oil pan and gasket.
(9) Remove the connecting rod bearing caps and in-
serts. Mark the caps and rods with the cylinder bore
location. The connecting rods and caps are stamped
with a two letter combination (Fig. 1).
(10) Lower the vehicle until it is about 2 feet from
the floor.
CAUTION: Ensure that the connecting rod bolts DO
NOT scratch the crankshaft journals or cylinder
walls. Short pieces of rubber hose, slipped over the
rod bolts will provide protection during removal.
(11) Have an assistant push the piston and con-
necting rod assemblies up and through the top of the
cylinder bores (Fig. 2).

TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS................ 10
EXHAUST SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
The basic exhaust system consists of an engine ex-
haust manifold, exhaust pipe with oxygen sensor, cat-
alytic converter, exhaust heat shield(s), muffler and
exhaust tailpipe (Fig. 1).
The exhaust system uses a single muffler with a
single monolithic-type catalytic converter.
The 4.0L engines use a seal between the engine ex-
haust manifold and exhaust pipe to assure a tight
seal and strain free connections.
The exhaust system must be properly aligned to
prevent stress, leakage and body contact. If the sys-
tem contacts any body panel, it may amplify objec-tionable noises originating from the engine or body.
When inspecting an exhaust system, critically in-
spect for cracked or loose joints, stripped screw or
bolt threads, corrosion damage and worn, cracked or
broken hangers. Replace all components that are
badly corroded or damaged. DO NOT attempt to re-
pair.
When replacement is required, use original equip-
ment parts (or their equivalent). This will assure
proper alignment and provide acceptable exhaust
noise levels.
CAUTION: Avoid application of rust prevention com-
pounds or undercoating materials to exhaust sys-
tem floor pan exhaust heat shields. Light overspray
near the edges is permitted. Application of coating
will result in excessive floor pan temperatures and
objectionable fumes.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
The stainless steel catalytic converter body is de-
signed to last the life of the vehicle. Excessive heat
can result in bulging or other distortion, but exces-
sive heat will not be the fault of the converter. If un-
burned fuel enters the converter, overheating may
occur. If a converter is heat-damaged, correct the
cause of the damage at the same time the converter
is replaced. Also, inspect all other components of the
exhaust system for heat damage.
Unleaded gasoline must be used to avoid contami-
nating the catalyst core.
EXHAUST HEAT SHIELDS
Exhaust heat shields are needed to protect both the
vehicle and the environment from the high tempera-
tures developed by the catalytic converter. The cata-
lytic converter releases additional heat into the
exhaust system. Under severe operating conditions,
the temperature increases in the area of the con-
Fig. 1 Typical Exhaust System
JEXHAUST SYSTEM AND INTAKE MANIFOLD 11 - 1

verter. Such conditions can exist when the engine
misfires or otherwise does not operate at peak effi-
ciency.
DO NOT remove spark plug wires from plugs or by
any other means short out cylinders. Failure of the
catalytic converter can occur due to a temperature
increase caused by unburned fuel passing through
the converter.DO NOT allow the engine to operate at fast idle for
extended periods (over 5 minutes). This condition
may result in excessive temperatures in the exhaust
system and on the floor pan.
