12-2-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The V8 petrol engine is an eight cylinder, water cooled unit having two banks of four cylinders positioned at 90 degrees
to each other. The engine comprises five main castings - two cylinder heads, cylinder block, timing cover and the oil
sump, all of which are manufactured from aluminium alloy.
NAS market vehicles from 03 model year receive a 4.6 litre version of the V8 engine to replace the previous 4.0 litre
version.
Cylinder heads
The cylinder heads are fitted with replaceable valve guides and valve seat inserts with the combustion chambers
formed in the head. Each cylinder head is sealed to the cylinder block with a gasket. The exhaust manifolds are bolted
to the outside of each cylinder head whilst the inlet manifolds are located in the centre of the 'Vee' and are bolted to
the inside face of each head. Inlet and exhaust manifolds are sealed to the cylinder heads by means of gaskets.
Each cylinder has a single inlet and exhaust valve. The exhaust valves are of the 'carbon break' type, a recess on the
valve stem prevents a build-up of carbon in the valve guide by dislodging particles of carbon as the valve stem moves
up and down the guide. Inlet and exhaust valve stem oil seals are fitted at the top of each valve guide. Valve operation
is by means of rocker arms, push rods and hydraulic tappets. Each of the rocker arms is located on a rocker shaft
which is supported by means of pedestals bolted to the cylinder heads. A spring, positioned on either side of each
rocker arm, maintains the correct relative position of the arm to its valve stem. The rocker arms are operated directly
by the push rods which pass through drillings in the cylinder heads and cylinder block. The bottom end of each push
rod locates in a hydraulic tappet operated by the single, chain driven camshaft.
The rocker covers are bolted to the cylinder heads and are sealed to the heads by a rubber gasket. Stub pipes for
crankcase ventilation hose connections are fitted to each rocker cover, the pipe in the right hand cover incorporates
an oil separator. The engine oil filler cap is situated in the right hand cover.
Cylinder block and camshaft
The cylinder block is fitted with cast iron cylinder liners which are shrink fitted and locate on stops in the block. The
camshaft is positioned in the centre of the cylinder block and runs in one piece bearing shells which are line bored
after fitting. Camshaft end-float is controlled by a thrust plate bolted to the front of the cylinder block. A timing gear,
chain driven by the crankshaft timing gear is bolted to the front of the camshaft.
Crankshaft and main bearings
The crankshaft is carried in five main bearings. The upper main bearing shell locations are an integral part of the
cylinder block casting. The lower main bearing caps are bolted to the cylinder block on either side of the upper bearing
shell locations with an additional bolt being inserted into each cap from either side of the cylinder block. The rear
main bearing cap carries the crankshaft rear oil seal and is sealed to the cylinder block by means of cruciform shaped
seals in each side of the cap. Number four main bearing cap carries the stud fixing for the oil pick-up pipe. Lower
main bearing shells are plain whilst the upper shells have an oil feed hole and are grooved. Crankshaft end-float is
controlled by the thrust faces of the upper centre shell. The crankshaft timing gear is located on the front of the
crankshaft by means of a Woodruff key which is also used to drive the gear type oil pump. The flywheel/drive plate
carries the crankshaft position sensor reluctor ring and is dowel located and bolted to the flywheel.
Timing cover
The timing cover is bolted to the front of the cylinder block and is sealed to the block with a gasket. The disposable,
full flow oil filter canister is screwed on to the timing cover which also carries the oil pressure switch, oil pressure relief
valve and crankshaft front oil seal. The gear type oil pump is integral with the cover which also has an internal oilway
to direct oil from the oil cooler to the filter.
NOTE: Oil coolers are only fitted to vehicles up to VIN 756821.
