ENGINE BLOCK
DESCRIPTION
The 2.5L CRD Diesel engine uses a cast iron
engine block with wet cast iron cylinder liners (Fig.
34).
CRANKSHAFT
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft is a forged steel splayed type
design with five main bearing journals. The crank-
shaft is located at the bottom of the engine block and
is held in place with three main bearing supports
(Fig. 35).
OPERATION
The crankshaft transfers force generated by com-
bustion within the cylinder bores to the flywheel or
flexplate.
