Print
Notice
Gasket and sealant material must be removed from the component's sealing surfaces before reassembly. Proper gasket and sealant removal
is crucial and requires that the component sealing surfaces are not damaged during cleaning. Use only a plastic or wood gasket scraper
such as J 28410. Appropriate chemical agents can be used to dissolve gasket and/or sealant materials when working on an individual
unassembled component. The components exposed to the chemical agents must be rinsed with cleaning solvent in order to neutralize the
chemical agent. Do not use abrasive paper, pads, or wire brush/wheel in order to clean sealing surfaces. Abrasive paper, pads, or wire
brush/wheel will damage the sealing surfaces and produce fine grit residue that will contaminate the engine and engine oil. Failure to use
proper cleaning methods may lead to engine damage.
Important
Do not use any other method or technique to clean these gasket surfaces.
4. Clean all of the gasket surfaces.
5. Use the following procedures when cleaning the cylinder head and cylinder block surfaces:
1. Use a razor blade gasket scraper to clean the cylinder head and cylinder block gasket surfaces. Do not scratch or gouge any surface.

Cylinder Boring and Honing
Tools Required
J 8087 Cylinder Bore Gauge
1. Measure the cylinder bore for out-of-round and taper.
2. Measure dimension (1) at 13 mm (1/2 in) below the head gasket surface. Measure dimension (2) at 100 mm (4 in) below the head gasket
surface.
3. Measure the cylinder bores by setting the J 8087 at zero in the cylinder at the point of the desired measurement. Lock the dial indicator at
zero before removing the dial from the cylinder. Measure across the gauge contact points with an outside micrometer, with the gauge at the
same zero setting as when the gauge was removed from the cylinder.
4. If dimension (1) is larger than dimension (2) by 0.13 mm (0.005 in), bore the cylinder for oversize piston and rings.
1. If relatively few bores require correction, do not rebore all the cylinders to the same oversize in order to maintain engine balance.
2. All oversize service pistons are held to the same weights as the standard size pistons.
5. Fine vertical scratches made by the ring ends do not, by themselves, cause excessive oil consumption. Do not hone the cylinder in order to
remove these scratches.
6. If the bore is glazed but otherwise serviceable, lightly break the glaze with a hone. Replace the piston rings. Refer to Piston and
Connecting Rod Installation.
1. The honing stones must be clean, sharp, and straight.
2. Move the hone slowly up and down to produce a 45 degree cross hatch pattern.
3. Clean the bore thoroughly with soap and water.
4. Dry the bore.
5. Rub clean engine oil in the bore.
6. Remeasure the bore.
7. If honing is not required, clean the cylinder bores with hot water and detergent. Apply clean engine oil to the bore after washing and
drying the bore.

Crankshaft and Bearings Cleaning and Inspection
Tool Required
1. J 7872 Magnetic Base Dial Indicator Set
2. J 8087 Cylinder Bore Gauge
Important
Use care when handling the crankshaft. Avoid damage to the bearing surfaces or the lobes of the crankshaft position reluctor ring.
Damage to the teeth of the crankshaft position reluctor ring may effect OBD II system performance.
1. Clean the crankshaft of the following elements:
1. Oil
2. Sludge
3. Carbon
2. Thoroughly clean all oil passages and inspect for restrictions or burrs.
Caution
3. Dry the crankshaft with compressed air.
Important
Reluctor ring teeth should not have imperfections on the rising or falling edges.
Imperfections of the reluctor ring teeth may effect OBD II system performance.
4. Perform a visual inspection of the crankshaft for damage.
5. Inspect the crankshaft journals for wear (1).
Journals should be smooth with no signs of scoring, wear, or damage.
6. Inspect the crankshaft journals for grooves or scoring (2).
7. Inspect the crankshaft journals for scratches or wear (3).
8. Inspect the crankshaft journals for pitting or imbedded bearing material (4).
9. Inspect the woodruff keys (crankshaft balancer) (1), the keyway (2), and the threaded hole (3) for damage.
10. Measure the crankshaft journals for out-of-round. Refer to Engine Mechanical Specifications .
11. Measure the crankshaft journals for taper. Refer to Engine Mechanical Specifications .
12. Using wooden V blocks, support the crankshaft on the front and rear journals.
13. Use the J 7872 in order to measure the crankshaft runout at the front and rear intermediate journals. Refer to Engine Mechanical
Specifications .
14. Use the J 7872 in order to measure the runout of the crankshaft rear flange. Refer to Engine Mechanical Specifications.
Replace or repair the crankshaft if the measurements are not within specifications.
15. In order to properly measure the crankshaft end play, the crankshaft, the crankshaft bearings, the crankshaft bearing caps, and the
fasteners must be installed into the engine block and the bolts and studs tightened to specifications.
A. Firmly thrust the end of the crankshaft first rearward then forward. This will line up the rear crankshaft bearing and the crankshaft
thrust surfaces.
B. With the crankshaft pushed forward, insert a feeler gauge between the crankshaft and the crankshaft bearing surface and then
measure the clearance. Refer to Engine Mechanical Specifications .
C. If the correct end play cannot be obtained, verify that the correct size crankshaft bearing has been installed.
D. Inspect the crankshaft for binding. Turn the crankshaft to check for binding. If the crankshaft does not turn freely, loosen the
crankshaft bearing bolts and studs, one crankshaft bearing cap at a time, until the tight crankshaft bearing is located.
Burrs on the crankshaft bearing cap, foreign matter between the crankshaft bearing and the engine block or the crankshaft bearing
cap, or a faulty crankshaft bearing could cause a lack of clearance at the crankshaft bearing.
16. Inspect the crankshaft bearings for craters or pockets. Flattened sections on the crankshaft bearing halves also indicate fatigue.
17. Inspect the crankshaft bearings for excessive scoring or discoloration.
18. Inspect the crankshaft bearings for dirt or debris imbedded into the crankshaft bearing material.
19. Inspect the crankshaft bearings for improper seating indicated by bright, polished sections of the bearing.
If the lower half of the bearing is worn or damaged, both the upper and lower halves of the crankshaft bearing should be replaced.
Generally, if the lower half of the crankshaft bearing is suitable for use, the upper half of the crankshaft bearing should also be suitable for
use.
Important
If cracks, severe gouges or burned spots are found, the crankshaft must be replaced. Slight roughness may be removed with a fine
polishing cloth soaked in clean engine oil. Burrs may be removed with a fine oil stone.
20. Inspect the crankshaft bearing journals and the crankshaft thrust surfaces for the following conditions:
1. Cracks
2. Chips
3. Gouges
4. Roughness
5. Grooves
6. Overheating (discoloration)
21. Inspect the corresponding crankshaft bearings for embedded foreign material and determine the source.
Important
Note the location of the crankshaft main bearing high spots. If they are not in line, the crankshaft is bent and must be replaced.
22. Inspect the crankshaft bearings for uneven side-to-side wear. This may indicate a bent crankshaft or a tapered bearing journal.
Notice
Do not scrape, shim, or file bearing inserts. If the bearing surface of the insert is touched with bare fingers, the skin oil and acids will etch
the bearing surface.
Important
The crankshaft bearings are of the precision insert type. The crankshaft bearings are available in standard and various undersizes.
23. Inspect the outer surfaces of the crankshaft bearings for the following conditions:
1. Wear - surface wear indicates either movement of the insert or high spots in the surrounding material (spot wear).
2. Overheating or discoloration
3. Looseness or rotation indicated by flattened tangs and wear grooves
24. Inspect the thrust surfaces of the main thrust bearing for the following conditions:
1. Wear
2. Grooving (Grooves are caused by irregularities of the crankshaft thrust surface.)
Important
If crankshaft bearing failure is due to other than normal wear, investigate the cause. Inspect the crankshaft or connecting rod bearing
bores.
25. Inspect the connecting rod bearing bores or crankshaft main bearing bores using the following procedure:
A. Tighten the bearing cap to specification.
B. Measure the bearing bore for taper and out-of-round using the J 8087 . No taper or out-of-round should exist.
Measuring Crankshaft Bearing Clearances (Micrometer Method)
Measure the bearing clearance to determine the correct replacement bearing insert size. There are two methods to measure bearing clearance.
Micrometer method gives more reliable results and is preferred.
Micrometer method yields measurement from which the bearing clearance can be computed.
Important
Do not mix inserts of different nominal size in the same bearing bore.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Measure the crankshaft bearing journal diameter with a micrometer in several places, 90 degrees apart. Average the measurements.
Measure the crankshaft bearing journal taper and runout.
Install the crankshaft bearing inserts. Tighten the bearing cap bolts to specification.
Measure the connecting rod inside diameter in the same direction as the length of the rod with an inside micrometer.
Measure the crankshaft main bearing inside diameter with an inside micrometer.
Select a set of bearing inserts that will produce the desired clearance.
If the specified clearances cannot be met, the crankshaft journals must be reconditioned and undersized bearing inserts installed.
Measuring Crankshaft Bearing Clearances (Plastic Gauge Method)
Plastic gauge method yields the bearing clearance directly.
Plastic gauge method does not give any indication of bearing run-out.
Important
Do not mix inserts of different nominal size in the same bearing bore.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Clean the used bearing inserts.
Install the used bearing inserts.
Place a piece of gauging plastic across the entire bearing width.
Install the bearing caps.
Notice
In order to prevent the possibility of cylinder block or crankshaft bearing cap damage, the crankshaft bearing caps are tapped into the
cylinder block cavity using a brass, lead, or a leather mallet before the attaching bolts are installed. Do not use attaching bolts to pull the
crankshaft bearing caps into the seats. Failure to use this process may damage a cylinder block or a bearing cap.
5. Install the bearing cap bolts to specification.
Important
Do not rotate the crankshaft.
6. Remove the bearing cap, leaving the gauging plastic in place. It does not matter whether the gaging plastic adheres to the journal or to the
bearing cap.
7. Measure the gauging plastic at the widest point with the scale printed on the gaging plastic package.
8. Remove the gauging plastic.
9. Select a set of bearing inserts that will produce the desired clearance.
Measuring Connecting Rod Bearing Side Clearance
1. Insert a feeler gauge between the connecting rod caps and measure the connecting rod side clearance. Refer to Engine Mechanical
Specifications .

Valve Guide Reaming/Valve and Seat Grinding
Tools Required
J 36019-A Valve Guide Reamer
1.
2.
3.
4.
Ream the valve guides for oversize valves using the J 36019-A if the clearance exceeds the specifications.
Service valves are available in the standard and 1 mm oversize.
Ream the valve guide bores for the oversize valves as necessary.
Reconditioning the valve seats is very important.
Recondition the valve seat after reaming the valve guide bores.
Important
Print
Because the valve guide serves to support and center the valve grinder, it is essential that the valve guide is cleaned properly. If the valve
guide requires reaming, this must be done first.
5. Inspect the valve seats for excessive wear and burned spots. Valve seats may be reconditioned by grinding. If grinding results in the new
seat being too wide it may be narrowed by using a 20 degree or 70 degree stone. The 20 degree stone will lower the seat and the 70 degree
stone will raise the seat.
1. The valves must seat perfectly for the engine to deliver optimum power and performance.
2. Cooling the valve heads is another important factor. Good contact between each valve and its seat in the cylinder head is necessary
to insure that the heat in the valve head is properly carried away.
3. Regardless of what type of equipment is used, it is essential that the valve guide bores are free from carbon or dirt in order to ensure
the proper centering of the pilot in the guide. The valve seats should be concentric to within 0.05 mm (0.031 in) total indicator
reading.
4. Do not attempt to reface valves from the Twin Cam engine. Replace any valve that is not in serviceable condition.

does not indicate bearing or journal runout. Do not mix inserts of different nominal size.
Method A
1. Use a micrometer in order to measure the balance shaft journal diameter in several places approximately 90 degrees apart. Average the
measurements.
2. Compute the taper and runout to ensure they are within the specification limits.
3. Use an inside micrometer in order to measure the bearing insert ID. If you are replacing the inserts, measure using the new inserts.

Service Prior to Assembly
The importance of cleanliness during assembly cannot be overstated. Dirt or debris will cause engine damage. An automobile engine is a
combination of many machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with tolerances that are measured in ten thousandths of an inch. When any
internal engine parts are serviced, care and cleanliness are important. A liberal coating of engine oil should be applied to friction areas during
assembly in order to protect and lubricate the surfaces on initial operation. Throughout this section, it should be understood that proper cleaning
and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas are part of the repair procedure. This is considered standard shop practice even if not
specifically stated.
Lubricate all moving parts with engine oil or a specified assembly lubricant. This will provide lubrication for initial start up.

Important
Ensure that the camshaft sprocket alignment pins are in the cylinder block and the timing chain housing, prior to installing the timing chain
housing. The camshaft sprocket alignment pins ensure proper chain housing and front cover location for correct front
oil-seal-to-crankshaft alignment.
6. Install the J 36008-A through the holes in the camshaft sprockets and into the holes in the timing chain housing. This will position the
camshaft for correct timing.
7. Use the following steps if the camshafts are out of position and must be rotated more than 1/8 turn in order to install the alignment dowel
pins:
Notice
Failure to follow this procedure could result in severe engine damage.
A. The crankshaft must be rotated 90 degrees clockwise off of TDC to give the valves adequate clearance to open.
B. Once the camshafts are in position and the dowels are installed, rotate the crankshaft counter-clockwise back to TDC.
Notice
Do not rotate the crankshaft clockwise to TDC. Valve or piston damage could occur.
Important
The timing chain and crankshaft sprocket must be put on in a specific direction for chain noise and wear considerations. The surfaces that
were marked during removal should be showing when the chain and crankshaft sprocket are installed.
8. Install the timing chain over the exhaust camshaft sprocket around the coolant pump sprocket and around the crankshaft sprocket.
9. Remove the alignment dowel pin from the intake camshaft. Use the J 39579 in order to rotate the intake camshaft sprocket
counter-clockwise enough to allow the timing chain to slide over the intake camshaft sprocket.
10. Release the J 39579 . The length of the chain between the 2 camshaft sprockets will tighten.
11. If properly timed, the intake camshaft alignment dowel pin will slide in easily. If the dowel pin does not fully index, the camshafts are not
timed correctly and the procedure must be repeated.
12. Leave the alignment dowel pins installed.
13. The keyway on the crankshaft and the mark on the cylinder block should be aligned with the slack removed from the chain between the
intake camshaft sprocket and the crankshaft sprocket. If the mark and the keyway are not aligned, move the chain 1 tooth forward or
rearward. Remove the slack and recheck the marks.
Important

20. Release the timing chain tensioner plunger.
A. Using a flat blade screwdriver, cotter pin remover, or a similar tool, press firmly against the face of the timing chain tensioner
plunger.
Important
If the timing chain tensioner plunger cannot be depressed, the plunger is not properly reset and the procedure for resetting the timing
chain tensioner should be repeated.
B. Depress the timing chain tensioner plunger until the plunger is bottomed out in the bore of the timing chain tensioner.
C. Release the tensioner plunger. The plunger should press firmly against the back of the timing chain tensioner shoe.
21. Remove the J 36008-A from the camshaft sprockets.
Notice
The timing chain on the LD9 (VIN T) Twin Cam Engine is not to be replaced with the timing chain from any other model year. The timing
sprockets are different on the Twin Cam engine and the shape of the links matches the sprockets. Engine damage may result if the wrong
timing chain is used. The timing chain and the crankshaft sprocket must be marked so that they are reinstalled in the same side facing out
at the time of reassembly.
22. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise 2 full rotations. Align the crankshaft keyway with the mark on the cylinder block and reinstall the
alignment dowel pins. The alignment dowel pins will slide in easily if the engine is timed correctly.
