CLEANING AND INSPECTION
TIMING BELT
INSPECTION
(1) Remove the upper front outer timing belt cover
by loosening the three attaching bolts (Fig. 75).
(2) Inspect both sides of the timing belt drive &
back. Replace belt if any of the following conditions
exist:²Rubber back side is glossy, hardened back with-
out resilience and leaves no indent when pressed
with fingernail.
²Cracks on rubber back.
²Cracks or peeling of canvas.
²Cracks on rib root.
²Missing teeth.
²The sides are normal if they are sharp as if cut
by a knife (Fig. 74).
NOTE: If none of the above conditions are seen on
the belt, the belt cover can be installed.
CYLINDER HEAD
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
(1) Before cleaning, check for leaks, damage and
cracks.
(2) Clean cylinder head and oil passages.
(3) Check cylinder head for flatness (Fig. 76).
(4) Cylinder head must be flat within:
²Standard dimension = less than 0.05 mm (.002
in.)
²Service Limit = 0.2 mm (.008 in.)
²Grinding Limit = Maximum of 0.2 mm (.008 in.)
is permitted.

CAUTION: This is a combined total dimension of
stock removal from cylinder head if any and block
top surface.
CYLINDER BORE
INSPECTION
(1) Measure the cylinder bore at three levels in
directions A and B (Fig. 77). Top measurementshould be 12 mm (0.50 in.) down and bottom mea-
surement should be 10 mm (0.38 in.) up.
(2) Standard bore dimension: 91.1 mm (3.587 in.)
(3) Maximum out-of-round or taper: 0.02 mm
(0.0008 in.).
OIL PUMP
(1) Check oil pump case for damage. Remove rear
oil pump cover.
(2) Remove pump rotors and inspect case for exces-
sive wear.
(3) Measure clearance between case and inner
rotor (Fig. 78).
(4) Insert the rotor into the oil pump case and
measure clearance between outer rotor and case with
a feeler gauge (Fig. 79). Replace if out of specifica-
tions.

(5)Using a feeler gauge, measure clearance between
inner rotor tip and outer rotor (Fig. 80). Clearance spec-
ification is: 0.06 - 0.18 mm (0.003 - 0.007 in.). Replace
both rotors if not within specifications
(6) Place a straightedge across face of pump hous-
ing (Fig. 81). Clearance specification is: 0.04 - 0.10
mm (0.0015 - 0.0039 in.). Replace oil pump assembly
if not within specifications.
OIL RELIEF PLUNGER
(1) Check that the oil relief plunger slides
smoothly.
(2) Check for broken relief spring.
ADJUSTMENTS
ENGINE MOUNTS
ENGINE MOUNT INSULATOR ADJUSTMENT
(1) Remove the load on the engine motor mounts
by carefully supporting the engine and transmission
assembly with a floor jack.
(2) Loosen the right engine mount insulator verti-
cal fastener and the fore and aft fasteners, and the
front engine mount bracket to front crossmember
screws.
(3) Pry the engine right or left as required to
achieve the proper drive shaft assembly length. Refer
to Group 2, Suspension and Driveshafts for drive-
shaft identification and related assembly length mea-
suring.
(4) Tighten engine mounts and fasteners in the
following order:
(a) Right engine mount insulator vertical bolts
to 102 N´m (75 ft. lbs.) and the fore and aft bolts to
150 N´m (110 ft. lbs.).
(b) Front engine mount screws to 54 N´m (40 ft.
lbs.) the clearance between the snubbers and the
engine should be 2 mm (0.078 inch.) each side.
(c) Left engine mount through bolt to 75 N´m (55
ft. lbs.).
(5) Recheck driveshaft length.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ENGINE IDENTIFICATION
The engine identification number is located on the
rear of the cylinder block just below the cylinder
head (Fig. 1).
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. The 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 cylinder block feed oil to the hydraulic lifters
and rocker shaft brackets which feeds the rocker arm
pivots (Fig. 2).
ENGINE COMPONENTS
ENGINE:The 3.3L (201 Cubic Inches) and 3.8L
(231 Cubic Inches) displacement engines are 60É V
type six cylinder power plants with cast iron cylinder
blocks and aluminum cylinder heads (Fig. 3). Firing
order for these engines is 1-2-3-4-5-6. High turbu-
lence cylinder heads allow a 8.9-1 compression ratio.
CRANKSHAFT:The nodular iron crankshaft is
supported by four main bearings, with number two
being the thrust bearing. Crankshaft end sealing is
provided by front and rear rubber seals.
PISTONS:The pistons are cast aluminum alloy.
Three rings are used. Piston pins, press fitted into
place, join the pistons to forged steel connecting rods.
CAMSHAFT:The nodular iron camshaft is
mounted in four steel backed babbitt bearings. A
thrust plate located in front of the first bearing, and
bolted to the block, controls end play. Silent timing
chain drives the camshaft. This chain is enclosed by
a cast aluminum cover which also carries a front
NS3.3/3.8L ENGINE 9 - 93

crankshaft seal, provides front oil pan closure, water
pump mounting.
CYLINDER HEADS:Cylinder heads are designed
to create high flow combustion chambers to improve
performance, while minimizing the change to the
burn rate of the chamber. Valve seat and guides are
inserts. A steel flanged composition type gasket is
used between head and block.
CYLINDER HEAD 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 designed
to boost torque in the 3600 rpm range and contrib-
utes 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.
Unique beehive style valve spring are used with
lightweight retainers for improved high RPM perfor-
mance.
EXHAUST MANIFOLDS:Exhaust manifolds are
log type with a crossover and is attached directly to
the cylinder heads.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
HYDRAULIC TAPPETS
The valve train includes roller tappet assemblies,
aligning yokes and yoke retainer.
Roller tappet alignment is maintained by machined
flats on tappet body being fitted in pairs into six
