ROCKER ARMS
DESCRIPTION
The rocker arms are made of stamped steel (Fig.
30).

The rocker arms are used as a link between the
camshaft and valves. As the camshaft rotates the
lobes of the camshafts apply downward pressure on
the rocker arms. This pressure is then transmitted to
the valves which causes the valves to open.

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.
