GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
CYLINDER HEAD AND GASKET
The cylinder head is made of an aluminum alloy. The cylin-
der head uses cross–flow intake and exhaust ports. A
spark plug is located in the center of each combustion
chamber. The cylinder head houses the dual camshafts.
CRANKSHAFT
The crankshaft has eight integral weights which are cast
with it for balancing. Oil holes run through the center of the
crankshaft to supply oil to the connecting rods, the bear-
ings, the pistons, and the other components. The end
thrust load is taken by the thrust washers installed at the
center journal.
TIMING BELT
The timing belt coordinates the crankshaft and the dual
overhead camshafts and keeps them synchronized. The
timing belt also turns the water pump. The timing belt and
the pulleys are toothed so that there is no slippage be-
tween them. There are two idler pulleys. An automatic ten-
sioner pulley maintains the timing belt’s correct tension.
The timing belt is made of a tough reinforced rubber similar
to that used on the serpentine accessory drive belt. The
timing belt requires no lubrication.
OIL PUMP
The oil pump draws engine oil from the oil pan and feeds
it under pressure to the various parts of the engine. An oil
strainer is mounted before the inlet of the oil pump to re-
move impurities which could clog or damage the oil pump
or other engine components. When the drive gear rotates,
the driven gear rotates. This causes the space between
the gears to constantly open and narrow, pulling oil in from
the oil pan when the space opens and pumping the oil out
to the engine as it narrows.
At high engine speeds, the oil pump supplies a much high-
er amount of oil than is required for lubrication of the en-
gine. The oil pressure regulator prevents too much oil from
entering the engine lubrication passages. During normal
oil supply, a coil spring and valve keep the bypass closed,
directing all of the oil pumped to the engine. When the
amount of oil being pumped increases, the pressure be-
comes high enough to overcome the force of the spring.This opens the valve of the oil pressure regulator, allowing
the excess oil to flow through the valve and drain back to
the oil pan.
OIL PAN
The engine oil pan is mounted to the bottom of the cylinder
block. The engine oil pan houses the crankcase and is
made of cast metal.
Engine oil is pumped from the oil pan by the oil pump. After
it passes through the oil filter, it is fed through two paths
to lubricate the cylinder block and the cylinder head. In one
path, the oil is pumped through the oil passages in the
crankshaft to the connecting rods, then to the pistons and
the cylinders. It then drains back to the oil pan. In the sec-
ond path, the oil is pumped through the oil passages to the
camshaft. The oil passes through the internal passage-
ways in the camshafts to lubricate the valve assemblies
before draining back to the oil pan.
EXHAUST MANIFOLD
A single four–port, rear–takedown manifold is used with
this engine. The manifold is designed to direct escaping
exhaust gases out of the combustion chambers with a
minimum of back pressure. The oxygen sensor is
mounted to the exhaust manifold.
INTAKE MANIFOLD
The intake manifold has four independent long ports and
uses inertial supercharging to improve engine torque at
low and moderate speeds. The plenum is attached to the
intake manifold.
CAMSHAFTS
This engine is a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) type,
which means there are two camshafts. One camshaft op-
erates the intake valves, and the other camshaft operates
the exhaust valves. The camshafts sit in journals on the
top of the engine in the cylinder head and are held in place
by camshaft caps. The camshaft journals of the cylinder
head are drilled to create oil passages. Engine oil travels
to the camshafts under pressure where it lubricates each
camshaft journal. The oil returns to the oil pan through
drain holes in the cylinder head. The camshaft lobes are
machined into the solid camshaft to open and close the in-
take and the exhaust valves precisely the correct amount
at the correct time. The camshaft lobes are oiled by splash
action from pressurized oil escaping from the camshaft
journals.
