DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ENGINE
DESCRIPTION
The 5.2 Liter (318 CID) eight-cylinder engine is a
V-Type lightweight, single cam, overhead valve
engine with hydraulic roller tappets.
The engine lubrication system consists of a rotor
type oil pump and a full flow oil filter.The cylinders are numbered from front to rear; 1,
3, 5, 7 on the left bank and 2, 4, 6, 8 on the right
bank. The firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 (Fig. 1). This
engine is designed for unleaded fuel.
The engine serial number is stamped into a
machined pad located on the left, front corner of the
cylinder block. When component part replacement is
necessary, use the engine type and serial number for
reference (Fig. 2).
9 - 86 5.2L ENGINEDN
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine EXHAUST MANIFOLD
DESCRIPTION
The exhaust manifolds are constructed of cast iron
and are LOG type with balanced flow (Fig. 5). One
exhaust manifold is attached to each cylinder head.
OPERATION
The exhaust manifolds collect the engine exhaust
exiting the combustion chambers, then channels the
exhaust gases to the exhaust pipes attached to the
manifolds.
INTAKE MANIFOLD
DESCRIPTION
The aluminum intake manifold (Fig. 6) is a single
plane design with equal length runners and uses a
separate plenum, therefore the manifold does have a
plenum gasket. It also uses separate flange gaskets
and front and rear cross-over gaskets. Extreme caremust be used when sealing the gaskets to ensure
that excess sealant does not enter the intake runners
causing a restriction. Whenever the intake manifold
is removed inspect the plenum pan for evidence of
excess oil buildup, this condition indicates that the
plenum pan gasket is leaking.
OPERATION
The intake manifold, meters and delivers air to the
combustion chambers allowing the fuel delivered by
the fuel injectors to ignite, thus producing power.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CYLINDER HEAD COVER GASKET
DESCRIPTION
The cylinder head cover gasket is a steel-backed
silicone gasket, designed for long life usage (Fig. 7).
OPERATION
The steel-backed silicone gasket is designed to seal
the cylinder head cover for long periods of time
through extensive heat and cold, without failure. The
gasket is designed to be reusable.
CYLINDER HEAD
DESCRIPTION
The cast iron cylinder heads are mounted to the
cylinder block using ten bolts (Fig. 8). The spark
plugs are located in the peak of the wedge between
the valves.
OPERATION
The cylinder head closes the combustion chamber
allowing the pistons to compress the air fuel mixture
to the correct ratio for ignition. The valves located in
the cylinder head open and close to either allow clean
air into the combustion chamber or to allow the
exhaust gases out, depending on the stroke of the
engine.
VALVES AND VALVE SPRINGS
DESCRIPTION
Both the intake and exhaust valves are made of
steel. The intake valve is 48.768 mm (1.92 inches) in
diameter and the exhaust valve is 41.148 mm (1.62
inches) in diameter and has a 2.032 mm (0.080 inch)
wafer interia welded to the tip for durability. These
valves are not splayed.
ENGINE OIL PAN
DESCRIPTION
The stamped steel engine oil pan is located at the
bottom of the engine, and contains a drain plug for
draining the engine oil.
OPERATION
The oil pan holds the engine oil and seals and pro-
tects the engine lower components from contami-
nates.
CRANKSHAFT OIL SEALS
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft rear seal is a two piece viton seal.
The crankshaft front seal is a one piece viton seal
with a steel housing. The front seal is located in the
engine front cover. One part of the two piece rear
seal is located in a slot in the number five (5) crank-
shaft main bore, the second part of the two piece seal
is located in the number five (5) main bearing cap.
OPERATION
The crankshaft seals prevent oil from leaking from
around the crankshaft, either from the rear of the
engine or from the engine front cover.
PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD
DESCRIPTION
The pistons are made of aluminum and have three
ring grooves, the top two grooves are for the compres-
sion rings and the bottom groove is for the oil control
ring. The connecting rods are forged steel and are
coined prior to heat treat. The piston pins are press
fit.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Scrape or wire brush all gasket surfaces to remove
all loose material. Inspect stamped parts to ensure
gasket rails are flat. Flatten rails with a hammer on
a flat plate, if required. Gasket surfaces must be free
of oil and dirt. Make sure the old gasket material is
removed from blind attaching holes.
GASKET APPLICATION
Assembling parts using a form-in-place gasket
requires care.
Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant should be
applied in a continuous bead approximately 3 mm
(0.12 inch) in diameter. All mounting holes must be
circled. For corner sealing,a3or6mm(1/8 or 1/4
inch) drop is placed in the center of the gasket con-
tact area. Uncured sealant may be removed with a
shop towel. Components should be torqued in place
while the sealant is still wet to the touch (within 10
minutes). The use of a locating dowel is recom-
mended during assembly to prevent smearing the
material off location.
Mopar Gasket Maker should be applied sparingly
to one gasket surface. The sealant diameter should
be 1.00 mm (0.04 inch) or less. Be certain the mate-
rial surrounds each mounting hole. Excess material
can easily be wiped off. Components should be
torqued in place within 15 minutes. The use of a
locating dowel is recommended during assembly to
prevent smearing the material off location.
ENGINE PERFORMANCE
It is important that the vehicle is operating to its
optimum performance level to maintain fuel economy
and the lowest emission levels. If vehicle is not oper-
ating to these standards, refer to Engine Diagnosis
outlined in this section. The following procedures can
assist in achieving the proper engine diagnosis.
(1) Test cranking amperage draw. Refer to Electri-
cal Group 8B, Cold Cranking Test.
(2) Check intake manifold bolt torque.
(3) Perform cylinder compression test. Refer to
Cylinder Compression Pressure Test in the Engine
Diagnosis area of this section.
(4) Clean or replace spark plugs as necessary and
adjust gap as specified in Electrical Group 8D.
Tighten to specifications.
(5) Test resistance of spark plug cables. Refer to
Electrical Group 8D, Spark Plug Cables.
(6) Inspect the primary wires. Test coil output volt-
age and primary resistance. Replace parts as neces-
sary. Refer to Electrical Group 8D, for specifications.
(7) Test fuel pump for pressure. Refer to Group 14,
Fuel System Specifications.
(8) The air filter elements should be replaced as
specified in Lubrication and Maintenance, Group 0.(9) Inspect crankcase ventilation system as out
lined in Group 0, Lubrication and Maintenance. For
emission controls see Group 25, Emission Controls
for service procedures.
(10) Road test vehicle as a final test.
ENGINE OIL
WARNING: NEW OR USED ENGINE OIL CAN BE
IRRITATING TO THE SKIN. AVOID PROLONGED OR
REPEATED SKIN CONTACT WITH ENGINE OIL.
CONTAMINANTS IN USED ENGINE OIL, CAUSED BY
INTERNAL COMBUSTION, CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO
YOUR HEALTH. THOROUGHLY WASH EXPOSED
SKIN WITH SOAP AND WATER. DO NOT WASH
SKIN WITH GASOLINE, DIESEL FUEL, THINNER, OR
SOLVENTS, HEALTH PROBLEMS CAN RESULT. DO
NOT POLLUTE, DISPOSE OF USED ENGINE OIL
PROPERLY.
ENGINE OIL SPECIFICATION
CAUTION: Do not use non-detergent or straight
mineral oil when adding or changing crankcase
lubricant. Engine failure can result.
API SERVICE GRADE CERTIFIED
In gasoline engines, use an engine oil that is API
Service Grade Certified (Fig. 11). Standard engine oil
identification notations have been adopted to aid in
the proper selection of engine oil. The identifying
notations are located on the label of engine oil plastic
bottles and the top of engine oil cans. MOPAR only
provides engine oil that conforms to this certification.
SAE VISCOSITY
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the vis-
cosity of engine oil. SAE 10W-30 specifies a multiple
viscosity engine oil. These are specified with a dual
SAE viscosity grade which indicates the cold-to-hot
temperature viscosity range. When choosing an
engine oil, consider the range of temperatures the
vehicle will be operated in before the next oil change.
Select an engine oil that is best suited to your area's
