1. Install new seal in front cover with installer tool J–22102. 2. Apply sealer to front cover as follows: • Use anaerobic sealer such as Loctite 510 on cover surfaces that contact block (Figure 2-168). • Use RTV-type sealer such as Permatex High Temp, Ultra Blue, or Loctite 599 (gray) to oil pan contact surface… Read More »
1. Rotate crankshaft so #1 piston is at TDC. 2. Install sprocket drive keys in camshaft and crankshaft (Figure 2-167). 3. Place block in upright position so cam is facing up. Then rotate camshaft so drive key is toward top of block. 4. Assemble timing chain and sprockets. Make sure sprocket timing marks are aligned… Read More »
1. Place engine in upright position so cam bearing bores are vertical. 2. Lubricate camshaft bearing journals with engine oil. Then lubricate cam bearings with long nozzle oil can. 3. Lubricate camshaft lobes with assembly lube. 4. Install 8-10 in. (20 -25 cm) long bolt or threaded rod on cam sprocket bolt hole. Bolt will… Read More »
1. Pour 2-3 ounces engine oil into pump and rotate pump shaft to lubricate pump gears. 2. Install retainer and pump shaft in oil pump. Apply high temp bearing grease to upper end of shaft. 3. Install oil pump. Be sure pump is seated on rear main cap. Refer to Oil Pump Drive Removal in… Read More »
Verify correct piston and rod assembly. Be sure piston crown relief and notches in rod for bearing inserts are aligned (Figure 2-160). Install only one piston and connecting rod assembly at a time. This is necessary because rod bearing clearance must be checked with the bearing inserts dry. Check bearing clearance at each rod as… Read More »
1. Lubricate new rear main seal lip with chassis grease or petroleum jelly. 2. Apply sealer such as Permatex #2 to outer circumference of new seal. 3. Install seal with tool J–39084 (Figure 2-159). Be sure seal is flush with block and bearing cap as shown
1. Tighten the inner 12 mm bolts to 55 lb-ft (75 N.m). 2. Retighten the inner 12 mm bolts to 55 lb-ft (75 N.m). 3. Tighten the inner 12 mm bolts an additional 90 degrees. 4. Tighten the outer 12 mm bolts (crankshaft bearing caps 1 and 5) to 48 lb-ft (65 N.m). 5. Retighten… Read More »
1. Tighten bolts in main cap number 3 to approximately 10 lb-ft (14 N•m) torque. 2. Tap crankshaft rearward then forward to align thrust bearing. Use lead hammer or rawhide mallet to tap crankshaft. 3. Tighten long inner number 3 main cap bolts to 55 lb-ft (75 N•m) and shorter outer bolts to 30 lb-ft… Read More »
1. Measure main journal diameters, note color code on crankshaft, and size letter on engine pan rail. Select bearings as needed. 0.0005 in. (0.013 mm) bearings are standard while 0.001 in. (0.026 mm) bearings are undersize. 2. Identify and separate bearing halves before proceeding. Bearing upper halves have oil grooves while lower halves do not.… Read More »
Main bearings are available in standard and two under sizes for select fit purposes. Required bearing clearances are: • 0.0017-0.003 in. (0.045-0.083 mm) at bearings 1 through 4 • 0.002-0.0036 in. (0.055-0.093 mm) at number 5 rear main There are three main journal diameter ranges. The ranges are identified by a color code paint mark… Read More »
