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.

FUEL TANK CHECK VALVE
DESCRIPTION
Diesel Powered Engine:One fuel tank check
valve is used. The check valve is located on the top of
the fuel tank module (Fig. 37). The valve may be ser-
viced separately.
Gasoline Powered Engines:If equipped with a
26 or 34 gallon fuel tank, two check valves are used.
One of the valves is permanently mounted to the top
of fuel tank (Fig. 38). If replacement of this particu-
lar valve is necessary, the fuel tank must be
replaced. The other check valve is located on the top
of the fuel pump module (Fig. 38). This valve may be
serviced separately. If replacement is necessary, refer
to the Removal/Installation section of this group.
If equipped with a 35 gallon fuel tank, two check
valves are used. Both valves are permanently
mounted to the top of fuel tank (Fig. 39). If replace-
ment is necessary, the fuel tank must be replaced.

REMOVAL
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CON-
STANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF).
BEFORE SERVICING THE CHECK VALVE, FUEL
SYSTEM PRESSURE MUST BE RELEASED (GASO-
LINE POWERED ENGINES ONLY). REFER TO THE
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE IN
GROUP 14, FUEL SYSTEM.
(1)Diesel Powered Engine:One checkr valve is
used. The valve is located on top of fuel tank module
(Fig. 40) and may be serviced separately.
(a) Disconnect both negative battery cables at
both batteries.
(b) Remove fuel filler cap and drain fuel tank.
(c) Remove fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Remov-
al/Installation in Fuel System.
(d) The check valve is seated into a rubber
grommet. Remove valve by prying one side upward
and then roll valve out of grommet.
(e) Discard old grommet.
(2)Gasoline Powered Engines:
If equipped with
a 26 or 34 gallon fuel tank, two check valves are used.
One of the valves is permanently mounted to top of
fuel tank (Fig. 41). If replacement of this particular
valve is necessary, fuel tank must be replaced. Refer
to Fuel Tank Removal/Installation in Group 14, Fuel
System. The other check valve is located on top of fuel
pump module (Fig. 41). This valve may be serviced
separately. Refer to following steps for procedures.
