INSPECTION
Use a straightedge and feeler gauge to check the
flatness of the engine cylinder head and block mating
surfaces.
The minimum cylinder head thickness is 89.95mm
(3.541 in.).

CAUTION: Piston protrusion must be measured to
determine cylinder head gasket thickness if one or
more cylinder liners have benn replaced (Refer to 9
- ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE).

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.
