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 grinding,
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.
CLEANING
Clean Loctite 518 residue and sealant from the cyl-
inder block and rear cap mating surface. Do this
before applying the Loctite drop and the installation
of rear cap.
INSTALLATION
(1) Lightly oil the new upper seal lips with engine
oil.
(2) Install the new upper rear bearing oil seal with
the white paint facing towards the rear of the engine.
(3) Position the crankshaft into the cylinder block.
(4) Lightly oil the new lower seal lips with engine
oil.

equivalent, on each side of the rear main bearing cap
(Fig. 72). DO NOT over apply sealant or allow the
sealant to contact the rubber seal. Assemble bearing
cap to cylinder block immediately after sealant appli-
cation.
(7) To align the bearing cap, use cap slot, align-
ment dowel and cap bolts. DO NOT remove excess
material after assembly. DO NOT strike rear cap
more than 2 times for proper engagement.
(8) Clean and oil all cap bolts. Install all main
bearing caps. Install all cap bolts and alternately
tighten to 115 N´m (85 ft. lbs.) torque.
(9) Install oil pump.

or equivalent, at bearing cap to block joint to provide
cap to block and oil pan sealing (Fig. 73). Apply
enough sealant until a small amount is squeezed out.Withdraw nozzle and wipe excess sealant off the oil
pan seal groove.
(10) Install new front crankshaft oil seal.
(11) Immediately install the oil pan.
OIL PUMP
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the oil pan.
(2) Remove the oil pump from rear main bearing
cap.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install oil pump. During installation slowly
rotate pump body to ensure driveshaft-to-pump rotor
shaft engagement.

ENGINE CORE OIL AND CAMSHAFT PLUGS
Engine core plugs have been pressed into the oil
galleries behind the camshaft thrust plate (Fig. 79).
This will reduce internal leakage and help maintain
higher oil pressure at idle.

(1) Using a blunt tool such as a drift or a screw-
driver and a hammer, strike the bottom edge of the
cup plug (Fig. 80).
(2) With the cup plug rotated, grasp firmly with
pliers or other suitable tool and remove plug (Fig.
80).

der block or head. Be sure to remove old sealer.
Be certain the new plug is cleaned of all oil or
grease.
(1) Coat edges of plug and core hole with Mopart
Gasket Maker, or equivalent.
CAUTION: DO NOT drive cup plug into the casting,
as restricted coolant flow can result and cause seri-
ous engine problems.
(2) Using proper plug drive, drive cup plug into
hole. The sharp edge of the plug should be at least
0.50 mm (0.020 in.) inside the lead-in chamfer.
(3) It is not necessary to wait for curing of the
sealant. The cooling system can be filled and the
vehicle placed in service immediately.

(a) Remove cotter pin. Drill a 3.175 mm (1/8
inch) hole into the relief valve retainer cap and
insert a self-threading sheet metal screw.
(b) Clamp screw into a vise and while support-
ing oil pump, remove cap by tapping pump body
using a soft hammer. Discard retainer cap and
remove spring and relief valve (Fig. 81).(2) Remove oil pump cover (Fig. 82).

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
CYLINDER HEAD COVER
CLEANING
Clean cylinder head cover gasket surface.
Clean head rail, if necessary.
INSPECTION
Inspect cover for distortion and straighten, if nec-
essary.
Check the gasket for use in head cover installation.
If damaged, use a new gasket.
CYLINDER HEAD ASSEMBLY
CLEANING
Clean all surfaces of cylinder block and cylinder
heads.
Clean cylinder block front and rear gasket surfaces
using a suitable solvent.
INSPECTION
Inspect all surfaces with a straightedge if there is
any reason to suspect leakage. If out-of-flatness
exceeds 0.00075 mm/mm (0.00075 inch/inch) times
the span length in inches in any direction, either
replace head or lightly machine the head surface.
FOR EXAMPLE:A 305 mm (12 inch) span is
0.102 mm (0.004 inch) out-of-flat. The allowable out-
of-flat is 305 X 0.00075 (12 X 0.00075) equals 0.23
mm (0.009 inch). This amount of out-of-flat is accept-
able.
The cylinder head surface finish should be
1.78-3.00 microns (70-125 microinches).
PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD ASSEMBLY
INSPECTION
Check the crankshaft connecting rod journal for
excessive wear, taper and scoring.
Check the cylinder block bore for out-of-round,
taper, scoring and scuffing.Check the pistons for taper and elliptical shape
before they are fitted into the cylinder bore (Fig. 83).
OIL PAN
CLEANING
Clean the block and pan gasket surfaces.
Trim or remove excess sealant film in the rear
main cap oil pan gasket groove.DO NOT remove
the sealant inside the rear main cap slots.
If present, trim excess sealant from inside the
engine.
Clean oil pan in solvent and wipe dry with a clean
cloth.
Clean oil screen and pipe thoroughly in clean sol-
vent. Inspect condition of screen.
INSPECTION
Inspect oil drain plug and plug hole for stripped or
damaged threads. Repair as necessary.
Inspect oil pan mounting flange for bends or distor-
tion. Straighten flange, if necessary.
OIL PUMP
INSPECTION
Mating surface of the oil pump cover should be
smooth. Replace pump assembly if cover is scratched
or grooved.
Lay a straightedge across the pump cover surface
(Fig. 84). If a 0.038 mm (0.0015 inch) feeler gauge
can be inserted between cover and straightedge,
pump assembly should be replaced.

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY (Continued)
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CYLINDER BLOCK
CLEANING
Clean cylinder block thoroughly and check all core
hole plugs for evidence of leaking.
INSPECTION
Examine block for cracks or fractures.
The cylinder walls should be checked for out-of-
round and taper with Cylinder Bore Indicator Tool
C-119. The cylinder block should be bored and honed
with new pistons and rings fitted if:
²The cylinder bores show more than 0.127 mm
(0.005 inch) out-of-round.
²The cylinder bores show a taper of more than
0.254 mm (0.010 inch).
²The cylinder walls are badly scuffed or scored.
Boring and honing operation should be closely coor-
dinated with the fitting of pistons and rings so spec-
ified clearances may be maintained.
Refer to Standard Service Procedures in the begin-
ning of this Group for the proper honing of cylinder
bores.
INTAKE MANIFOLD
CLEANING
Clean manifold in solvent and blow dry with com-
pressed air.
Clean cylinder block front and rear gasket surfaces
using a suitable solvent.
The plenum pan rail must be clean and dry (free of
all foreign material).
INSPECTION
Inspect manifold for cracks.
Inspect mating surfaces of manifold for flatness
with a straightedge.
EXHAUST MANIFOLD
CLEANING
Clean mating surfaces on cylinder head and mani-
fold, wash with solvent and blow dry with com-
pressed air.
INSPECTION
Inspect manifold for cracks, Inspect mating sur-
faces of manifold for flatness with a straight edge.
Seal surfaces must be flat within 0.1 mm (0.004 inch)
overall.
