1996 CHRYSLER VOYAGER length

NOTE: Valve seats which are worn or burned can
be reworked, provided that correct angle and seat
width are maintained. Otherwise cylinder head must
be replaced.
(4) When seat is properly positioned the width of
intake seats should be 1.75 to 2.25 mm (0.69 to 0.088
in.) The width of the exhaust seats should be 1.50 to
2.00 mm (0.059 to 0.078 in.) (Fig. 19).
(5) Check the valve spring installed height after
refacing the valve and seat (Fig. 22).
TESTING VALVE SPRINGS
Whenever valves have been removed for inspection,
reconditioning or replacement, valve springs should
be tested (Fig. 21).As an example;the compression
length of the spring to be tested is 33.34 mm (1-5/16
inches). Turn table of Tool C-647 until surface is in
line with the 33.34 mm (1-5/16 inch) mark on the
threaded stud and the zero mark on the front. Place
spring over stud on the table and lift compressing
lever to set tone device. Pull on torque wrench until
ping is heard. Take reading on torque wrench at this
instant. Multiply this reading by two. This will give
the spring load at test length. Fractional measure-
ments are indicated on the table for finer adjust-
ments. Refer to specifications to obtain specified
height and allowable tensions. Discard the springs
that do not meet specifications.

carefully for damage or wear (Fig. 76).
OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY
(1) Assemble pump, using new parts as required.
Install the inner rotor with chamfer facing the
cast iron oil pump cover.
(2) Tighten cover screws to 12 N´m (105 in. lbs.).
(3) Prime oil pump before installation by filling

(2) Clean varnish deposits from inside of tappet
body above plunger cap.
(3) Invert tappet body and remove plunger cap,
plunger, flat or ball check valve, check valve spring,

could be flat or ball.
ASSEMBLY
(1) Clean all tappet parts in a solvent that will
remove all varnish and carbon.
(2) Replace tappets that are unfit for further ser-
vice with new assemblies.(3) If plunger shows signs of scoring or wear, valve
is pitted, or valve seat on end of plunger indicates
any condition that would prevent valve from seating,
install a new tappet assembly.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
CYLINDER HEAD
(1) Before cleaning, check for leaks, damage and
cracks.
(2) Clean cylinder head and oil passages.
(3) Check cylinder head for flatness (Fig. 75).
(4) Inspect all surfaces with a straightedge if there
is any reason to suspect leakage. If out of flatness
exceeds 0.019 mm (0.00075 in.) times the span length
in inches, in any direction, either replace head or
lightly machine the head surface. As an example, if a
12 inch span is 0.1 mm (.004 in.) out of flat, allow-
able is 12 x .019 mm (.00075 in.) equals .22 mm (.009
in.) This amount of out of flat is acceptable. Maxi-
mum of 0.2 mm (.008 in.) for grinding is permitted.
CAUTION: This is a combined total dimension of
stock removal from cylinder head and block top
surface.

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

(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).

ifications, inspect for worn engine bearings or other
reasons for oil pressure loss.

ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
ENGINE LUBRICATION
Refer to Group 0, Lubrication and Maintenance for
recommended oil to be used in various engine appli-
cation. System is full flow filtration, pressure feed
type. The oil pump is mounted in the front engine
cover and driven by the crankshaft. Pressurized oil is
then routed through the main oil gallery, running the
length of the cylinder block, supplying main and rodbearings with further routing. Rod bearing oil throw-
off lubricates the pistons from directed slots on the
side of the connecting rod assemblies. Camshaft and
valve mechanisms are lubricated from a full-length
cylinder head oil gallery supplied from the crankcase
main oil gallery.
PRESSURE LUBRICATION
Oil drawn up through the pickup tube is pressur-
ized by the pump and routed through the full flow fil-
ter to the main oil gallery running the length of the
cylinder block. A cylinder head restrictor, located in
the block, provides increased oil flow to the main oil
gallery (Fig. 2).
MAIN/ROD BEARINGS
A diagonal hole in each bulkhead feeds oil to each
main bearing. Drilled passages within the crankshaft
route oil from main bearing journals to connecting
rod journals.
CAMSHAFT/HYDRAULIC LASH ADJUSTERS
A vertical hole at the number five bulkhead routes
pressurized oil through a restrictor up into the cylin-
der head. The rocker shafts route oil to the rocker
arms/hydraulic lash adjuster assemblies.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

should be tested Special Tool C-647. As an example,
the compression length of the spring to be tested is
33.34 mm (1-5/16 inches). Turn tool table until sur-
face is in line with the 33.34 mm (1-5/16 inch) mark
on the threaded stud and the zero mark on the front.
Place spring over stud on the table and lift compress-
ing lever to set tone device (Fig. 89). Pull on torque
wrench until ping is heard. Take reading on torque
wrench at this instant. Multiply this reading by two.
This will give the spring load at test length. Frac-
tional measurements are indicated on the table for
finer adjustments. Discard the springs that do not
meet specifications. The Following specifications
apply to both intake and exhaust valve springs.²Valve Closed Nominal ForceÐ 67 lbs. @ 39.8 mm
(1.57 in.)
²Valve Open Nominal ForceÐ 160 lbs. @ 32.6 mm
(1.28 in.)
(2) Verify springs are not distorted with a steel
square and surface plate, check springs from both
ends. If the spring is more than 1.5 mm (1/16 inch)
out of square, install a new spring.
REFACING VALVES AND VALVE SEATS
(1) The intake and exhaust valve seats and valve
face have a 45 degree angle.
(2) Inspect the remaining margin after the valves
are refaced (Fig. 90). Intake valves with less than
0.95 mm (1/32 inch.) margin and Exhaust valves
with less than 1.05 mm (3/64 inch) margin should be
discarded.
(3) When refacing valve seats, it is important that
the correct size valve guide pilot be used for reseat-
ing stones. A true and complete surface must be
obtained. For valve specifications see Valve Specifica-
tion Chart.
(4) Measure the concentricity of valve seat and
valve guide using a valve seat runout dial indicator.
