INSTALLATION
(1) Clean all sealing surfaces of cylinder block and
cylinder heads.
(2) Install new gaskets on cylinder block (Fig. 34).
(3)The cylinder head bolts are torqued using
the torque yield method, they should be exam-
ined BEFORE reuse. If the threads are necked
down, the bolts should be replaced(Fig. 35).
(4) Necking can be checked by holding a scale or
straight edge against the threads. If all the threads
do not contact the scale the bolt should be replaced.
(5) Tighten the cylinder head bolts1-8inthe
sequence shown in (Fig. 33). Using the 4 step torque
turn method, tighten according to the following val-
ues:
²Step 1: Bolts1±8to61N´m(45ft.lbs.)

²Step 3: Bolts1±8(again) to 88 N´m (65 ft. lbs.)
²Step 4: Bolts1±8turn an additional 1/4 Turn.
(Do not use a torque wrench for this step.)
NOTE: Bolt torque after 1/4 turn should be over 122
N´m (90 ft. lbs.). If not, replace the bolt.
(6) Tighten head bolt number 9 (Fig. 33) to 33 N´m
(25 ft. lbs.) after head bolts1±8have been tighten
to specifications.

a new thrust plate.
(10) Each tappet reused must be installed in the
same position from which it was removed.When
camshaft is replaced, all of the tappets must be
replaced.
CAMSHAFT BEARINGS
REMOVAL
(1) With engine removed from vehicle and com-
pletely disassembled, drive out rear cam bearing core
hole plug.
(2) Install proper size adapters and horseshoe
washers (part of Tool C-3132-A) at back of each bear-
ing shell to be removed and drive out bearing shells
(Fig. 53).
INSTALLATION
(1) Install new camshaft bearings with Tool
C-3132-A by sliding the new camshaft bearing shell
over proper adapter.
(2) Position rear bearing in the tool. Install horse-
shoe lock and by reversing removal procedure, care-
fully drive bearing shell into place.
(3) Install remaining bearings in the same man-
ner. Bearings must be carefully aligned to bring oil
holes into full register with oil passages from the
main bearing. Number two bearing must index with
the oil passage to the left cylinder head and Number
three bearing must index with the oil passage to the
right cylinder head. If the camshaft bearing shell oil
holes are not in exact alignment, remove and rein-
stall them correctly. Install a new core hole plug at
the rear of camshaft.Be sure this plug does not
leak.

(1) Disconnect negative cable from battery and
remove engine oil dipstick.
(2) Raise vehicle on hoist and drain engine oil.(3) Remove bending brace to transaxle attaching
bolt.
(4) Remove bolts attaching dust cover to transaxle
housing. Lower dust cover to gain access to oil pan
bolts.
(5) Remove oil pan screws and remove oil pan.
INSTALLATION
(1) Clean surfaces and apply a 1/8 inch bead of
MopartSilicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant or equiva-
lent, at the parting line of the chain case cover and
the rear seal retainer (Fig. 54).
(2) Use a new pan gasket (Fig. 55).
(3) Install pan and tighten screws to 12 N´m (105
in. lb.).
(4) Install dust shield and bending brace to tran-
saxle housing.
(5) Lower vehicle and install oil dipstick.
(6) Connect negative cable to battery.
(7) Fill crankcase with oil to proper level.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)
OIL PAN
(1) Clean oil pan in solvent and wipe dry with a
clean cloth. Clean all gasket material from mounting
surfaces of pan and block.
(2) Inspect oil drain plug and plug hole for
stripped or damaged threads and repair as necessary.
Install a new drain plug gasket. Tighten to 27 N´m
(20 ft. lbs.).
(3) Inspect oil pan mounting flange for bends or
distortion. Straighten flange if necessary.
(4) Clean oil screen and pipe in clean solvent.
Inspect condition of screen.
OIL PUMP
INSPECTION AND REPAIR
(1) Clean all parts thoroughly. Mating surface of
the chain case cover should be smooth. Replace pump
cover if scratched or grooved.
(2) Lay a straightedge across the pump cover sur-
face (Fig. 77). If a 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) feeler gauge
can be inserted between cover and straight edge,
cover should be replaced.
(3) Measure thickness and diameter of outer rotor.
If outer rotor thickness measures 7.64 mm (0.301 in.)
or less (Fig. 78), or if the diameter is 79.95 mm
(3.148 inches.) or less, replace outer rotor.
(4) If inner rotor measures 7.64 mm (0.301 in.) or
less replace inner rotor (Fig. 79).
(5) Slide outer rotor into chain case cover, press to
one side with fingers and measure clearance between
rotor and chain case cover (Fig. 80). If measurement
is 0.39 mm (0.015 in.) or more, replace CCC only if
outer rotor is in specification.
(6) Install inner rotor into chain case cover. If
clearance between inner and outer rotors (Fig. 81) is
0.203 mm (0.008 in.) or more, replace both rotors.
(7) Place a straightedge across the face of the
chain case cover, between bolt holes. If a feeler gaugeof 0.10 mm (0.004 in.) or more can be inserted
between rotors and the straightedge, replace pump
assembly (Fig. 82).ONLYif rotors are in specs.
(8) Inspect oil pressure relief valve plunger for
scoring and free operation in its bore. Small marks
may be removed with 400-grit wet or dry sandpaper.
(9) The relief valve spring has a free length of
approximately 49.5 mm (1.95 inches) it should test
between 19.5 and 20.5 pounds when compressed to
34 mm (1-11/32 inches). Replace spring that fails to
meet specifications (Fig. 73).
(10) If oil pressure is low and pump is within spec-
ifications, inspect for worn engine bearings or other
reasons for oil pressure loss.
ENGINE BLOCK AND BORE
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
(1) Clean cylinder block thoroughly and check all
core hole plugs for evidence of leaking.
