(12) Install crankshaft sprocket.
(13) Install oil filter adapter and filter.
(14) Install oil pan and structural collar. Refer to
procedures outlined in the section.
(15) Perform camshaft and crankshaft timing
relearn procedure as follows:
²Connect the DRB scan tool to the data link
(diagnostic) connector. This connector is located in
the passenger compartment; at the lower edge of
instrument panel; near the steering column.
²Turn the ignition switch on and access the ªmis-
cellaneousº screen.
²Select ªre-learn cam/crankº option and follow
directions on DRB screen.
OIL FILTER ADAPTER
REMOVE AND INSTALL
Ensure O-ring is in the groove on adapter. Align
roll pin into engine block and tighten assembly to 80
N´m (60 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 83).
OIL FILTER
REMOVE AND INSTALL
CAUTION: When servicing the oil filter (Fig. 84)
avoid deforming the filter, install tool band strap
against the seam at the base of the filter. The seam,
joining the can to the base is reinforced by the
base plate.
(1) Turn counterclockwise to remove.
(2) To install, lubricate new filter gasket. Check
filter mounting surface. The surface must be smooth,
flat and free of debris or old pieces of rubber. Screw
filter on until gasket contacts base. Tighten to 21
N´m (15 ft. lbs.).
OIL PUMP
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.(2) Remove Timing Belt. Refer to procedure in this
section.
(3) Remove Oil Pan. Refer to procedure in this sec-
tion.
(4) Remove Crankshaft Sprocket using Special Tool
6793 and insert C-4685-C2 (Fig. 85).
(5) Remove oil pick-up tube.
(6) Remove oil pump (Fig. 86) and front crankshaft
seal.
INSTALLATION
(1) Make sure all surfaces are clean and free of oil
and dirt.
(2) Apply MopartGasket Maker to oil pump as
shown in (Fig. 87). Install oil ring into oil pump body
discharge passage.
(3) Prime oil pump before installation.
(4) Align oil pump rotor flats with flats on crank-
shaft as you install the oil pump to the block.
NOTE: Front crankshaft seal MUST be out of pump
to align, or damage may result.

(8) Align camshaft timing marks. Loosen timing
belt tensioner fasteners and remove timing belt.
CAUTION: Do not loosen, tighten, or remove the
tensioner pivot bolt (Fig. 42).
CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT TIMING
PROCEDURE AND BELT INSTALLATION
ÐDOHC ENGINE
(1) When tensioner is removed from the engine it
is necessary to compress the plunger into the ten-
sioner body.
(2) Place the tensioner into a vise and slowly com-
press the plunger (Fig. 43).
CAUTION: Index the tensioner in the vise the same
way it is installed on the engine. This is to ensure
proper pin orientation when tensioner is installed
on the engine.
(3) When plunger is compressed into the tensioner
body install a pin through the body and plunger to
retain plunger in place until tensioner is installed.(4) Set crankshaft sprocket to TDC by aligning the
sprocket with the arrow on the oil pump housing,
then back off to 3 notches before TDC (Fig. 44).
(5) Set camshafts timing marks together by align-
ing notches on sprockets (Fig. 45).
(6) Rotate crankshaft 1/2 tooth counterclockwise
from TDC (Fig. 46).
(7) Install timing belt in this direction. Starting at
the crankshaft, go around the water pump sprocket,
idler pulley, camshaft sprockets and then around the
tensioner pulley (Fig. 47).
(8) Move crankshaft sprocket to TDC to take up
belt slack. Install tensioner to block but do not
tighten fasteners.
(9) Using a torque wrench on the tensioner pulley
apply 28 N´m (250 in. lbs.) of torque to tensioner
(Fig. 47).
(10) With torque being applied to the tensioner
pulley move the tensioner up against the tensioner
pulley bracket and tighten fasteners to 31 N´m (275
in. lbs.).

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

CAUTION: Align camshaft and crankshaft timing
marks before removing the timing belt by rotating
the engine with the crankshaft. Do not rotate the
camshaft once the timing belt has been removed as
damage to valve components may occur.
(8) Align camshaft timing marks and crankshaft
timing mark with arrow on oil pump housing (Fig.
52).
(9) Installa8mmAllen wrench into the timing
belt tensioner. Insert the long end of a 1/8º or 3 mm
Allen wrench into the pin hole on the front of the
tensioner.
(10) Rotate the tensioner counterclockwise with
the Allen wrench, while pushing in lightly on the 1/8º
or 3 mm Allen wrench, until it slides into the locking
hole.
(11) Remove timing belt.
CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT TIMING
PROCEDURE AND BELT INSTALLATIONÐ

(1) Set crankshaft sprocket to TDC by aligning the
sprocket with the arrow on the oil pump housing,
then back off to 3 notches before TDC (Fig. 53).
(2) Set camshafts timing marks together by align-
ing notches on sprockets (Fig. 54).
(3) Rotate crankshaft 1/2 tooth counterclockwise
from TDC (Fig. 55).
(4) Install timing belt in this direction. Starting at
the crankshaft, go around the water pump sprocket,idler pulley, camshaft sprockets and then around the
tensioner pulley (Fig. 56).
