Camshaft Gear
Inspect the camshaft gear for cracks (gear and
hub) (Fig. 95), and chipped/broken/fretted teeth (Fig.
96). If replacement is necessary, (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/CAMSHAFT & BEAR-
INGS (IN BLOCK) - REMOVAL).
Thrust Plate
Inspect the camshaft thrust plate for excessive
wear in the camshaft contact area. Measure thrust
plate thickness using the CAMSHAFT THRUST
PLATE THICKNESS CHART. Replace any thrust
plate that falls outside of these specifications:
CAMSHAFT THRUST PLATE THICKNESS

INSTALLATIONÐCAMSHAFT BEARINGS
(1) Apply a coating of Loctitet640 Adhesive to the
backside of the new bushing. Avoid getting adhesive
in the oil hole.
(2) Use a universal cam bushing installation tool
and install the bushing so that it is even with the
front face of the cylinder block. The oil hole must be
aligned. A 3.2 mm (0.128 inch) diameter rod must be
able to pass through the hole (Fig. 97).
(3) Measure the installed bushing. The limit of the
inside diameter is 54.133 mm (2.1312 inch).
INSTALLATIONÐCAMSHAFT
(1) Lubricate the camshaft bushing and bores with
fresh engine oil or suitable equivalent.
(2) Liberally coat the camshaft lobes, journals, and
thrust washer with fresh engine oil or suitable equiv-
alent.
CAUTION: When installing the camshaft (Fig. 91),
DO NOT push it in farther than it will go with the
thrust washer in place. Pushing it too far can dis-
lodge the plug in the rear of the camshaft bore and
cause an oil leak.
(3) Install the camshaft (Fig. 91) and thrust plate.
Align the timing marks as shown in (Fig. 89).
(4) Install the thrust plate bolts and tighten to 24
N´m (18 ft. lbs.) torque.
(5) Measure camshaft back lash and end clearance
(Fig. 98).
(6) Remove the wooden dowel rods and rubber
bands from the tappets.
(7) Lubricate the push rods with engine oil and
install in their original location (Fig. 87).Verify that
they are seated in the tappets.
(8) Lubricate the valve tips with engine oil and
install the crossheads in their original locations.
(9) Lubricate the crossheads and push rod sockets
with engine oil and install the rocker arms and ped-
estals in their original locations (Fig. 86). Tighten
bolts to 36 N´m (27 ft. lbs.) torque.

CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS
STANDARD PROCEDUREÐCONNECTING ROD
BEARING AND CRANKSHAFT JOURNAL
CLEARANCE
Measure the connecting rod bore with the bearings
installed and the bolts tightened to 100 N´m (73 ft.
lbs.) torque.
Record the smaller diameter.
Measure the diameter of the rod journal at the
location shown (Fig. 99). Calculate the average diam-
eter for each side of the journal.
The clearance is the difference between the con-
necting rod bore (smallest diameter) and the average
diameter for each side of the crankshaft journal.

INSTALLATION
(1)Clean cover and housing gasket mating surfaces.
Use a suitable scraper and be careful not to damage the
gear housing surface, since it is aluminum. Remove any
old sealer from the oil seal bore. Thoroughly clean the
front seal area of the crankshaft. The seal lip and the
sealing surface on the crankshaft must be free from all
oil residue to prevent seal leaks.
(2) Inspect the gear housing and cover for cracks
and replace if necessary. Carefully straighten any
bends or imperfections in the gear cover with a ball-
peen hammer on a flat surface. Inspect the crank-
shaft front journal for any grooves or nicks that
would affect the integrity of the new seal.
(3) Apply a bead of MopartStud & Bearing Mount
to the outside diameter of the seal. Do not lubricate
the inside diameter of the new seal.
(4)
With the cover supported by wood blocks, install
the seal into the rear of the cover using crankshaft seal
installer Special Tool 8281 and driver handle C-4171
(Fig. 106). Strike the driver handle until the installation
tool bottoms out on the inside of the cover.
(5) Install the plastic seal pilot (provided with seal
kit) into the crankshaft seal.
(6) Apply a bead of MopartSilicone Rubber Adhe-
sive Sealant or equivalent to the gear housing cover
sealing surface.
(7) Install the cover to the gear housing, aligning
the seal pilot with the nose of the crankshaft (Fig.
107).
(8) Install the cover bolts and tighten to 24 N´m
(18 ft. lbs.) torque. Remove pilot tool.
(9) Install the crankshaft damper (Fig. 104) and
torque the bolts to 125 N´m (92 ft. lbs.). Use theengine barring tool to keep the engine from rotating
during tightening operation.
(10) Install the fan support/hub assembly (Fig.
103) and torque bolts to 24 N´m (18 ft. lbs.).
(11) Install cooling fan (Refer to 7 - COOLING/EN-
GINE/RADIATOR FAN - INSTALLATION).
(12) Install the accessory drive belt (Refer to 7 -
COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS -
INSTALLATION).
