P0071-AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR PERFORMANCE

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.


LX ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS 9 - 43

Theory of Operation
Ambient Air Temperature Sensor performance looks at the outputs of three temperature sensors and compares
them under cold start conditions. Following a start to run delay time, the outputs of the ambient, engine coolant, and
intake air temperature sensors will be compared. If the engine coolant and intake air temperature sensors agree and
the ambient air temperature does not agree, the ambient air temperature sensor is declared as irrational.
• When Monitored:
Engine off time is greater than 480 minutes. Ambient temperature is greater than 4° C (38° F).
• Set Condition:
After a calibrated amount of cool down time the PCM compares the ECT Sensor, IAT Sensor, and the Ambient
Air Temp Sensor values. If the IAT Sensor value is not within -10 °C (18 °F) of the other two temperature
sensors. Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

LX ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS 9 - 103
• When Monitored:
With battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts and after engine is started.
• Set Condition:
The engine temperature does not enable closed loop. Failure time depends on start-up coolant temperature
and ambient temperature. (i.e. 2 minutes for a start temp of 10°C (50°F) or up to 10 minutes for a vehicle with
a start-up temp of -28°C (19°F). Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

Possible Causes

LOW COOLANT LEVEL


THERMOSTAT
ECT SENSOR
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Diagnostic Test

1. CHECKING COOLANT LEVEL AND CONDITION


Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, read DTCs.
NOTE: If an Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) DTC is set along with this code, diagnose the ECT DTC first.
NOTE: Inspect the ECT terminals and related PCM terminals. Make sure the terminals are free from corro-
sion and damage.
NOTE: The best way to diagnose this DTC is to allow the vehicle to sit overnight outside in order to have
a totally cold soaked engine.
NOTE: Extremely cold outside ambient temperatures may have caused this DTC to set.
WARNING: Never open the cooling system when the engine is hot. The system is under pressure. Extreme
burns or scalding may result. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.
Allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system.
Inspect the coolant system for proper level and condition.
Is the coolant level and condition OK?
Yes >> Go To 2
No >> Inspect the vehicle for a coolant leak, make the appropriate repairs, and add the correct amount of
coolant.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

2. THERMOSTAT OPERATION
NOTE: This test works best if performed on a cold engine (cold soak).
Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, read the Eng Coolant Temp Deg value. If the engine was allowed to sit overnight (cold soak), the
temperature value should be a sensible value that is somewhere close to the ambient temperature.
NOTE: If engine coolant temperature is above 82°C (180°F), allow the engine to cool until 65°C (150°F) is
reached.
Start the Engine.
During engine warm-up monitor the Eng Coolant Temp Deg value. The temp deg value change should be a smooth
transition from start up to normal operating temp 82°C (180°F). Also monitor the actual coolant temperature with a
thermometer.
9 - 104 ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS LX
NOTE: As the engine warms up to operating temperature, the actual coolant temperature (thermometer read-
ing) and the scan tool Eng Coolant Temp Deg values should stay relatively close to each other.
Using the appropriate service information, determine the proper opening temperature of the thermostat.
Did the thermostat open at the proper temperature?
Yes >> Go To 3
No >> Replace the thermostat.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

3. ECT SENSOR OPERATION


Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, read the Eng Coolant Temp Deg value. If the engine was allowed to sit overnight (cold soak), the
temperature value should be a sensible value that is somewhere close to the ambient temperature.
NOTE: If engine coolant temperature is above 82°C (180°F), allow the engine to cool until 65°C (150°F) is
reached.
Start the Engine.
During engine warm-up monitor the Eng Coolant Temp Deg value. The temp deg value change should be a smooth
transition from start up to normal operating temp 82°C (180°F). Also monitor the actual coolant temperature with a
thermometer.
NOTE: As the engine warms up to operating temperature, the actual coolant temperature (thermometer read-
ing) and the scan tools Eng Coolant Temp Deg value should stay relatively close to each other.
Is the thermometer reading relatively close to the scan tool ECT reading?
Yes >> Test Complete.

P0128-THERMOSTAT RATIONALITY

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.


9 - 106 ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS LX

Theory of Operation
The PCM predicts what the engine coolant temperature should be, based on the engine coolant temperature at
start-up, ambient temperature and how the vehicle is subsequently driven. The predicted engine coolant tempera-
ture is compared to the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor reading. The error between the two is calculated and
integrated with respect to time. When the Thermostat diagnostic runs, the integrated error is compared to a cali-
brated threshold and pass/fail is determined. Separate pass and fail thresholds are used in order to improve accu-
racy of the diagnostic.
• When Monitored:
Engine running.
• Set Condition:
The PCM predicts a coolant temperature value that it will compare to the actual coolant temperature. A sig-
nificant difference results in an error. Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

No >> Inspect the vehicle for a coolant leak and add the necessary amount of coolant.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

3. THERMOSTAT OPERATION
NOTE: This test works best if performed on a cold engine (cold soak).
Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, read the ECT Deg value. If the engine was allowed to sit overnight (cold soak), the temperature
value should be a sensible value that is somewhere close to the ambient temperature.
NOTE: If engine coolant temperature is above 82°C (180°F), allow the engine to cool until 65°C (150°F) is
reached.
Start the Engine.
During engine warm-up, monitor the ECT Deg value. The temp deg value change should be a smooth transition
from start up to normal operating temp 82°C (180°F). Also monitor the actual coolant temperature with a thermom-
eter.
NOTE: As the engine warms up to operating temperature, the actual coolant temperature (thermometer read-
ing) and the scan tool, ECT Temperature value should stay relatively close to each other.
Using the appropriate service information, determine the proper opening temperature of the thermostat.
Did the thermostat open at the proper temperature?
Yes >> Go To 4
No >> Replace the thermostat.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

4. AMBIENT AIR TEMP SENSOR OPERATION


Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, read and record the AAT Sensor Temperature value.
Using the DRB Temperature Probe #CH7050, or an equivalent temperature measuring tool, measure the ambient air
temperature near the AAT Sensor.
Is the AAT Sensor value with -15°C (5°F) of the temperature probe reading?
Yes >> Go To 5
No >> Go To 7

P0133-O2 SENSOR 1/1 SLOW RESPONSE

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.


LX ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS 9 - 131

Theory of Operation
For an aged O2 sensor, the response rate to the air/fuel change is slower than when it was new. The O2 sensor
tends to move less with the same air/fuel changes in a given time frame. Therefore by observing the activity of
voltage readings from the upstream O2 sensor, the quality of the O2 sensor can be detected.
• When Monitored:
Vehicle is started and driven between 20 and 55 MPH with the Throttle open for a minimum of 120 seconds.
Coolant greater than 70°C (158°F). Catalytic Converter Temp greater than 600°C, (1112°F) and EVAP Purge is
active.
• Set Condition:

P0153-O2 SENSOR 2/1 SLOW RESPONSE

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.


LX ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS 9 - 163

Theory of Operation
For an aged O2 sensor , the response rate to the air/fuel change is slower than when it was new. The O2 sensor
tends to move less with the same air/fuel changes in a given time frame. Therefore by observing the activity of
voltage readings from the upstream O2 sensor, the quality of the O2 sensor can be detected.
• When Monitored:
Vehicle is started and driven between 20 and 55 MPH with the Throttle open for a minimum of 120 seconds.
Coolant greater than 70°C (158°F). Catalytic Converter Temp greater than 600°C, (1112°F) and EVAP Purge is
active.
• Set Condition:
O2 Sensor response is too slow for a calibrated amount of time. Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the
MIL.

• When Monitored:
Engine running for greater than two minutes with the Engine Coolant Temp greater than 70°C (158°F). EGR
active. Less than 8500 feet. Ambient temperature greater than -6°C (20°F).
• Set Condition:
The PCM closes the EGR valve while monitoring the O2 Sensor signal. Once a closed EGR fueling sample
has been established the PCM then ramps in EGR and additional fueling while monitoring the O2 sensor sig-
nal in the open state. A fueling sample is again established. The PCM then compares the different O2 Sensor
signal readings (fueling samples). If a larger than expected variation is detected, a soft failure is recorded.
Three soft failures set a one trip failure. After two failed trips, a DTC is set and the MIL is illuminated.

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.

Theory of Operation
The State of Change (SOC) catalyst monitor uses the signals from both the upstream and downstream O2 sensors
to detect aging of the catalyst. Based on the fact that when a catalyst ages, it loses some of its Oxygen Storage
Capacity (OSC). As a result, part of the untreated exhaust gases can breakthrough the catalyst and causes the
downstream O2 sensor to deviate from its neutral (Stoichiometric) position. By observing the activities in the down-
stream O2 signal, the degradation level of catalyst can be detected. In general, the higher the downstream O2
sensor SOC value, the more exhaust gas breakthrough and the lower the OSC of the catalytic converter.
• When Monitored:
The monitor will run at between 1400 and 2300 RPM. It also runs between 40 and 70 KPA.
• Set Condition:
If the final State of Change index is within the calibrated fail threshold. Two trip fault. Three good trips to turn
off the MIL.

P0440-GENERAL EVAP SYSTEM FAILURE

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.


LX ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS 9 - 417

Theory of Operation
The theory behind the Natural Vacuum Leak Detection (NVLD) is adherence to the Ideal Gas Law. Pressure in a
sealed vessel will change linearly as a function of the temperature of the gas in the vessel. Even small leaks will
allow the pressure in the vessel to come to equilibrium with the atmospheric pressure. The General Evap test runs
by commanding purge flow during the leak size test and evaluates the NVLD vacuum switch.
• When Monitored:
Engine running after a cold start. Fuel Level greater than 12%. Fuel level below 88%. No NVLD switch during
previous eng off time. No NVLD switch close during leak size purge draw. Ambient Temperature between 4°C
and 32°C (39°F and 89°F).
• Set Condition:
The PCM does not see the NVLD switch close during the medium/large leak test. The PCM then will increase
the vacuum supply to the EVAP system by increasing flow through the EVAP Purge valve. If the switch does
not close with an increase in vacuum an error is detected. Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

Possible Causes

EVAP PURGE SOLENOID VACUUM SUPPLY


(Z914) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
(K107) NVLD SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION LEAK DETECTION
NVLD ASSEMBLY

P0442-EVAP PURGE SYSTEM MEDIUM LEAK

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.


LX ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS 9 - 429

Theory of Operation
The theory behind the Natural Vacuum Leak Detection (NVLD) is adherence to the Ideal Gas Law. Pressure in a
sealed vessel will change linearly as a function of the temperature of the gas in the vessel. Even small leaks will
allow the pressure in the vessel to come to equilibrium with the atmospheric pressure. After key-off and a calibrated
amount of time, cool down from operating temperatures or diurnal ambient temperature the system pressure will
force the system to go negative or draw a vacuum if there is no leak. When the vacuum level reaches 1” H2O (0.25
KPA) the NVLD vacuum switch closes. This sends a signal to the NGC freezing a timer and registering a pass. If
a switch closure is not detected an assessment of leak size will be made.
• When Monitored:
Engine Running. Cold start test. Fuel Level greater than 12%. Ambient Temperature between 4°C and 32°C
(39°F and 89°F) Close Loop fuel system. Test runs when small leak test is maturing.
• Set Condition:
The PCM activates the EVAP Purge Solenoid to pull the EVAP system into a vacuum to close the NVLD
switch. Once the NVLD switch is closed, the PCM turns the EVAP Purge solenoid off to seal the EVAP system.
If the NVLD switch reopens before the calibrated amount of time for a Medium leak an error is detected. Two
Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

5. VERIFY EVAPORATIVE EMISSION LEAK


To continue testing you will need Miller Tool #8404A Evaporative Emission Leak Detector (EELD).
WARNING: Keep lit cigarettes, sparks, flames, and other ignition sources away from the test area to prevent
the ignition of explosive gases. Keep the test area well ventilated.
NOTE: The fuel tank should have between 20% and 80% of fuel tank capacity to properly test the Evap
system.
Connect the red power lead of the EELD to the battery positive terminal and the black ground lead to battery neg-
ative terminal.
Block the vent hose of the canister if using the service port.
Connect shop air to the EELD.
Set the smoke/air control switch to AIR.

6. EVAPORATIVE EMISSION LEAK DETECTION


NOTE: A thorough visual inspection of the Evap system hoses, tubes, and connections may save time in
your diagnosis. Look for any physical damage or signs of wetness at connections. The strong smell of fuel
vapors may also aid diagnosis.
To continue testing, you will need Miller Tool #8404A Evaporative Emissions Leak Detector (EELD).
Remove the Air supply hose from the service port (if equipped) or from the #8404-ADP adapter.
Connect the SMOKE supply tip (black hose) to the service port (if equipped) or to the #8404-ADP adapter.
Set the smoke/air control switch to SMOKE.
NOTE: The flow meter indicator ball will not move in the smoke mode.
Press the remote smoke/air start button.
NOTE: Make sure that smoke has filled the EVAP system by continuing to press the remote smoke/air start
button, remove the vehicle fuel cap, and wait for the smoke to exit. Once smoke is indicated reinstall the
fuel cap.
NOTE: For optimal performance, introduce smoke into the system for an additional 60 seconds; continue
introducing smoke at 15 second intervals, as necessary.
While still holding the remote smoke/air start button, use the white light (#8404-CLL) to follow the EVAP system
path, and look for the source of the leak indicated by exiting smoke.
If a leak is concealed from view (i.e., top of fuel tank), release the remote smoke/air start button, and use the ultra-
violet (UV) black light #8404-UVL and the yellow goggles 8404-20 to look for residual traces of dye that is left
behind by the smoke.
The exiting smoke deposits a residual fluid that is either bright green or bright yellow in color when viewed with a
UV light.
NOTE: The EVAP System is divided into three zones. A leak from any of these zones can cause this DTC to
set. The lists below specify the possible leak points in that specific zone. For further assistance see the

P0455-EVAP PURGE SYSTEM LARGE LEAK

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.


LX ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS 9 - 449

Theory of Operation
The theory behind the Natural Vacuum Leak Detection (NVLD) is adherence to the Ideal Gas Law. Pressure in a
sealed vessel will change linearly as a function of the temperature of the gas in the vessel. Even small leaks will
allow the pressure in the vessel to come to equilibrium with the atmospheric pressure. After key-off and a calibrated
amount of time, cool down from operating temperatures or diurnal ambient temperature the system pressure will
force the system to go negative or draw a vacuum if there is no leak. When the vacuum level reaches 1” H2O (0.25
KPA) the NVLD vacuum switch closes. This sends a signal to the NGC freezing a timer and registering a pass. If
a switch closure is not detected an assessment of leak size will be made.
• When Monitored:
Engine Running. Cold start test. Fuel Level greater than 12%. Ambient Temperature between 4°C and 32°C
(39°F and 89°F) Close Loop fuel system. Test runs when small leak test is maturing.
• Set Condition:
The PCM activates the EVAP Purge Solenoid to pull the EVAP system into a vacuum to close the NVLD
switch. Once the NVLD switch is closed, the PCM turns the EVAP Purge solenoid off to seal the EVAP system.
If the NVLD switch reopens before the calibrated amount of time for a Large leak an error is detected. Two
Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

P0456-EVAP PURGE SYSTEM SMALL LEAK

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.


LX ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS 9 - 455

Theory of Operation
The theory behind the Natural Vacuum Leak Detection (NVLD) is adherence to the Ideal Gas Law. Pressure in a
sealed vessel will change linearly as a function of the temperature of the gas in the vessel. Even small leaks will
allow the pressure in the vessel to come to equilibrium with the atmospheric pressure. After key-off and a calibrated
amount of time, cool down from operating temperatures or diurnal ambient temperature the system pressure will
force the system to go negative or draw a vacuum if there is no leak. When the vacuum level reaches 1” H2O (0.25
KPA) the NVLD vacuum switch closes. This sends a signal to the NGC freezing a timer and registering a pass. If
a switch closure is not detected an assessment of leak size will be made.
• When Monitored:
Ignition off. Fuel Level less than 88%. Ambient Temperature between 4°C and 43°C (39°F and 109°F) Close
Loop fuel system.
• Set Condition:
Due to temperature changes, a vacuum is created in the fuel tank and EVAP system. With the EVAP system
sealed, the PCM monitors the NVLD switch. If the NVLD switch does not close within a calibrated time allow-
ance, an error is detected by the PCM. One Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

P0457-LOOSE FUEL CAP

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.


LX ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS 9 - 461

Theory of Operation
The PCM records the fuel level when the ignition key is turned off and then again when the ignition key is turn back
on. This is done to monitor for fuel level increase. If a fuel level increase is detected and the EVAP Leak monitor is
run and fails, the Loose Gas Cap DTC will set and the GAS CAP indicator will displayed in odometer to inform the
vehicle operator that the cap is off of loose.
• When Monitored:
Ignition on. Ambient Temperature between 4°C and 32°C (39°F and 89°F) Close Loop fuel system. Test runs
after the medium leak test is inconclusive and the PCM has senses a fuel increase.
• Set Condition:
The PCM activates the EVAP Purge Solenoid to pull the EVAP system into a vacuum to close the NVLD
switch. Once the NVLD switch is closed, the PCM turns the EVAP Purge Solenoid off to seal the EVAP sys-
tem. If the NVLD switch reopens before the calibrated amount of time after a fuel tank fill, an error is detected.
Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.


9 - 638 ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS LX

Theory of Operation
The EGR valve has a position sensor and the EGR position rationality is designed to make sure that the valve
moves freely within its operating range. Closed valve position reference check verifies that the valve is within its
allowable upper and lower limits. The EGR position rationality test looks for a sustained error relative to commanded
valve position.
• When Monitored:
Engine running.
• Set Condition:
The EGR flow or valve movement is not what is expected. A rationality error has been detected for the EGR
Open Position Performance. Two trip fault.

P1411–CYLINDER 1 REACTIVATION CONTROL PERFORMANCE


9 - 642 ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS LX

Theory of Operation
When all criteria has been met, power is supplied to each MDS Solenoid when the engine is making a transition
from 8 cylinder mode to 4 cylinder mode. By actuating the solenoid, oil pressure is raised to the pair of lifters that
coincide with each particular solenoid. The oil pressure pushes in the locking pins that allows the lifter to collapse,
decoupling the valves and camshaft.

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Diagnostic Test

1. ACTIVE DTC
Ignition on, engine not running.
NOTE: If this code sets during extreme ambient temperatures, improper installation of a block heater could
be the cause of this DTC.
With a scan tool, read DTCs.
Diagnose all other ECT and Cooling System codes before continuing.
Is the DTC active at this time?
Yes >> Go To 2
No >> Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

2. LOW COOLANT LEVEL


NOTE: If a Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) DTC is set along with this code, diagnose the ECT DTC first.
NOTE: Inspect the ECT terminals and related PCM terminals. Ensure the terminals are free from corrosion
and damage.
NOTE: The best way to diagnose this DTC is to allow the vehicle to sit overnight outside in order to have
a totally cold soaked engine.
NOTE: Extremely cold outside ambient temperatures may have caused this DTC to set.
NOTE: Need to make sure that no Cooling System DTCs are set or changes that would make the warm up
much slower or much faster: broken water pump can set this, addition of aftermarket auxiliary cooler can
set this DTC.
WARNING: Never open the cooling system when the engine is hot. The system is under pressure. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death. Allow the engine to cool before opening the
cooling system.
LX ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS 9 - 863
Inspect the coolant system for proper level and condition.
Is the coolant level and condition OK?
Yes >> Go To 3
No >> Inspect the vehicle for a coolant leak and add the necessary amount of coolant.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

3. THERMOSTAT
NOTE: This test works best if performed on a cold engine (cold soak).
Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, read the Eng Coolant Tmp Deg value. If the engine was allowed to sit overnight (cold soak), the
temperature value should be a sensible value that is somewhere close to the ambient temperature.
NOTE: If engine coolant temperature is above 82°C (180°F), allow the engine to cool until 65°C (150°F) is
reached.
Start the Engine.
During engine warm-up monitor the Eng Coolant Tmp Deg value. The temp deg value change should be a smooth
transition from start up to normal operating temp 82°C (180°F). Also monitor the actual coolant temperature with a
thermometer.
NOTE: As the engine warms up to operating temperature, the actual coolant temperature (thermometer read-
ing) and the Eng Coolant Tmp Deg on the scan tool should stay relatively close to each other.
Using the appropriate service information, determine the proper opening temperature of the thermostat.
Did the thermostat open at the proper temperature?
Yes >> Go To 4
No >> Replace the thermostat.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

P3400-MDS RATIONALITY BANK 1


For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.

Theory of Operation
When all criteria has been met, power is supplied to each MDS Solenoid when the engine is making a transition
from 8 cylinder mode to 4 cylinder mode. By actuating the solenoid, oil pressure is raised to the pair of lifters that
coincide with each particular solenoid. The oil pressure pushes in the locking pins that allows the lifter to collapse,
decoupling the valves and camshaft.

9 - 930 ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS LX

Theory of Operation
When all criteria has been met, power is supplied to each MDS Solenoid when the engine is making a transition
from 8 cylinder mode to 4 cylinder mode. By actuating the solenoid, oil pressure is raised to the pair of lifters that
coincide with each particular solenoid. The oil pressure pushes in the locking pins that allows the lifter to collapse,
decoupling the valves and camshaft.

LX ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS 9 - 957

Theory of Operation
When all criteria has been met, power is supplied to each MDS Solenoid when the engine is making a transition
from 8 cylinder mode to 4 cylinder mode. By actuating the solenoid, oil pressure is raised to the pair of lifters that
coincide with each particular solenoid. The oil pressure pushes in the locking pins that allows the lifter to collapse,
decoupling the valves and camshaft.
• When Monitored:
Transition from 8 to 4 cylinder mode.
• Set Condition:
When the PCM recognizes a problem with the Solenoid Control circuit.

NOTE: A leak may be difficult to detect on a hot vehicle, it is best to perform the test at room temperature.
1. Install the Miller Tool #8404 Evaporative Emission Leak Detector (EELD) according to the instructions in the pre-
vious DTC table.
2. Set the smoke/air control switch to AIR.
3. Insert the tester’s AIR supply tip (clear hose) into the appropriate calibration orifice on the tester’s control panel
(based on DTC leak size).
4. Press the remote smoke/air start button.
5. Position the red flag on the air flow meter so it is aligned with the indicator ball.
6. When the calibration is complete, release the remote button. The EELD flow meter is now calibrated in liters per
minute to the size of leak indicated by the DTC set in the PCM.
7. Install the service port adapter #8404-14 on the vehicle’s service port.
8. Connect the Air supply hose from the EELD to the vehicle.
9. Press the remote button to activate AIR flow.
9 - 1038 ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS LX
NOTE: 10. Larger volume fuel tanks, lower fuel levels or if the vehicle is equipped with a Flow Management
Valve may indicate high flow and will require 4 to 5 minutes to fill.
11. Compare the flow meter indicator ball reading to the red flag.
12. ABOVE the red flag indicates a leak present.
13. BELOW the red flag indicates a sealed system.
NOTE: If this vehicle is equipped with an Electronic Throttle Control system, and the APP Sensors, PCM, or
Throttle Body Assembly have been replaced, use the scan tool to perform the ETC RELEARN function.
14. If the indicator ball shows a leak present, perform the smoke test indicated in the previous test and identify the
leak and repair. Perform this verification test when the repair is complete.
Did the indicator ball indicate the a leak is present?
Yes >> Repeat the DTC test to identify the leak and repair.
No >> Repair is complete.

5. POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST 4


NOTE: 1. After completing the Powertrain Verification Test the Transmission Verification Test must be per-
formed.
NOTE: 2. If the PCM has been replaced and the correct VIN and mileage have not been programmed, a DTC
will set in the ABS Module, Airbag Module and the SKIM/SKREEM.
NOTE: 3. If the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Remote Entry, Secret Key data must be updated. Refer
to the Service Information for the PCM, SKIM/SKREEM and the Transponder (ignition key) for programming
information. Using the scan tool, program the Secret Key information into the PCM using the PCM replaced
function under the WCM menu.
NOTE: 4. If this vehicle is equipped with an Electronic Throttle Control system, and the APP Sensors, PCM,
or Throttle Body Assembly have been replaced, use the scan tool to perform the ETC RELEARN function.
NOTE: 5. When replacing an O2 Sensor, the PCM RAM memory must be cleared, either by disconnecting the
PCM C1 connector or momentarily disconnecting the Battery negative terminal.
6. The NGC learns the characteristics of each O2 heater element and these old values should be cleared when
installing a new O2 sensor. The customer may experience driveability issues if this is not performed.
7. Inspect the vehicle to make sure that all engine components are properly installed and connected. Reassemble
and reconnect components as necessary.
8. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector.
9. Make sure the fuel tank has at least a quarter tank of fuel. Turn off all accessories.
10. If the Catalyst was replaced, with the scan tool go to the Miscellaneous Menu Option 9Catalyst Replaced9 and
press enter.
11. If a Comprehensive Component DTC was repaired, perform steps 12 - 14. If a Major OBDII Monitor DTC was
repaired skip those steps and continue verification.
12. After the ignition has been off for at least 10 seconds, restart the vehicle and run 2 minutes.
13. With the scan tool, monitor the appropriate pre-test enabling conditions until all conditions have been met. Once
the conditions have been met, switch screen to the appropriate OBDII monitor, (Audible beeps when the monitor is
running).
14. If the repaired OBDII trouble code has reset or was seen in the monitor while on the road test, the repair is not
complete. Check for any related technical service bulletins or flash updates and return to Engine Electrical Diag-
nostic List.
15. If the conditions cannot be duplicated, erase all DTCs with the Scan tool.
16. If another DTC has set, return to the Engine Electrical Diagnostic List and follow the path specified for that DTC.
Did the OBDII Monitor run successfully and has the Good Trip Counter changed to one or more?
Yes >> Repair is complete.
No >> Check for any related Technical Service Bulletins and/or refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Procedure.

P1451–DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W


9 - 1618 ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS - DIESEL LX

Theory of Operation
The Diesel particulate filter is an inline canister filter located in the exhaust system between the engine and the
muffler. This filter captures and stores ash particles created by the diesel combustion process. This filter is moni-
tored by the ECM with a Differential Pressure Sensor. This sensor measures the difference in exhaust system pres-
sure before and after the particulate filter through tube connections directly to the exhaust pipe. As ash accumulates
in the filter, the exhaust pressure at the inlet side of the filter increases as compared to the pressure at the outlet
side of the filter. The ECM monitors the sensor to determine when to perform a particulate filter regeneration pro-
cedure which is designed to clear “burn-off” the ash collected in the filter.

LX ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS - DIESEL 9 - 1621

Theory of Operation
The Diesel particulate filter is an inline canister filter located in the exhaust system between the engine and the
muffler. This filter captures and stores ash particles created by the diesel combustion process. This filter is moni-
tored by the ECM with a Differential Pressure Sensor. This sensor measures the difference in exhaust system pres-
sure before and after the particulate filter through tube connections directly to the exhaust pipe. As ash accumulates
in the filter, the exhaust pressure at the inlet side of the filter increases as compared to the pressure at the outlet
side of the filter. The ECM monitors the sensor to determine when to perform a particulate filter regeneration pro-
cedure which is designed to clear or “burn-off” the ash collected in the filter.
• When Monitored:
With the engine running.
• Set Condition:
Differential Pressure Sensor signal indicates (–)10 hpa for 15.0 seconds.

Theory of Operation
The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor contains two independent three wire sensors. Each sensor provides inde-
pendent pedal position signals to the ECM. The raw voltage signal from APP #1 sensor is 2 times the raw voltage
signal from APP #2. Although the raw voltage signals differ, the scan tool converts and displays these voltages as
matching percentages of pedal travel.

P242F–DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER RESTRICTION — ASH ACCUMULATION

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W


9 - 1782 ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS - DIESEL LX

Theory of Operation
The Diesel particulate filter is an inline canister filter located in the exhaust system between the engine and the
muffler. This filter captures and stores ash particles created by the diesel combustion process. This filter is moni-
tored by the ECM with a Differential Pressure Sensor. This sensor measures the difference in exhaust system pres-
sure before and after the particulate filter through tube connections directly to the exhaust pipe. As ash accumulates
in the filter, the exhaust pressure at the inlet side of the filter increases as compared to the pressure at the outlet
side of the filter. The ECM monitors the sensor to determine when to perform a particulate filter regeneration pro-
cedure which is designed to clear or “burn-off” the ash collected in the filter.
• When Monitored:
With the engine running.
• Set Condition:
The Differential Pressure Sensor signal indicates partial clogging of the particulate filter due to the accumula-
tion of ash or other debris.

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W

Theory of Operation
The Diesel particulate filter is an inline canister filter located in the exhaust system between the engine and the
muffler. This filter captures and stores ash particles created by the diesel combustion process. This filter is moni-
tored by the ECM with a Differential Pressure Sensor. This sensor measures the difference in exhaust system pres-
sure before and after the particulate filter through tube connections directly to the exhaust pipe. As ash accumulates
in the filter, the exhaust pressure at the inlet side of the filter increases as compared to the pressure at the outlet
side of the filter. The ECM monitors the sensor to determine when to perform a particulate filter regeneration pro-
cedure which is designed to clear or “burn-off” the ash collected in the filter.
• When Monitored:
With the ignition on.
• Set Condition:
The (K355) Exhaust Differential Pressure Sensor signal is below 0.24 volts for 2.0 seconds.

CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE TEST


The results of a cylinder compression pressure test can be utilized to diagnose several engine malfunctions.
Ensure the battery is completely charged and the engine starter motor is in good operating condition. Otherwise the
indicated compression pressures may not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
1. Check engine oil level and add oil if necessary.
2. Drive the vehicle until engine reaches normal operating temperature. Select a route free from traffic and other
forms of congestion, observe all traffic laws, and accelerate through the gears several times briskly.
3. Remove all spark plugs from engine. As spark plugs are being removed, check electrodes for abnormal firing
indicators fouled, hot, oily, etc. Record cylinder number of spark plug for future reference.
4. Remove the Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay from the PDC.
5. Be sure throttle blade is fully open during the compression check.
6. Insert compression gauge adaptor Special Tool 8116 or the equivalent, into the #1 spark plug hole in cylinder
head. Connect the 0–500 psi (Blue) pressure transducer (Special Tool CH7059) with cable adaptors to the
DRBIIIT. For Special Tool identification, (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIAL TOOLS).
7. Crank engine until maximum pressure is reached on gauge. Record this pressure as #1 cylinder pressure.
8. Repeat the previous step for all remaining cylinders.
9. Compression should not be less than 689 kPa (100 psi) and not vary more than 25 percent from cylinder to
cylinder.
10. If one or more cylinders have abnormally low compression pressures, repeat the compression test.
11. If the same cylinder or cylinders repeat an abnormally low reading on the second compression test, it could
indicate the existence of a problem in the cylinder in question. The recommended compression pressures
are to be used only as a guide to diagnosing engine problems. An engine should not be disassembled
to determine the cause of low compression unless some malfunction is present.

CYLINDER COMBUSTION PRESSURE LEAKAGE TEST


The combustion pressure leakage test provides an accurate means for determining engine condition.
Combustion pressure leakage testing will detect:
• Exhaust and intake valve leaks (improper seating).
• Leaks between adjacent cylinders or into water jacket.
LX ENGINE - 2.7L DOHC - SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 1907

• Any causes for combustion/compression pressure loss.

WARNING: Do not remove the pressure cap with the system hot and under pressure because serious burns
from coolant can occur.

Check the coolant level and fill as required. DO NOT install the pressure cap.
Start and operate the engine until it attains normal operating temperature, then turn the engine OFF.
Clean spark plug recesses with compressed air.
Remove the spark plugs.
Remove the oil filler cap.
Remove the air cleaner.
Calibrate the tester according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The shop air source for testing should maintain 483
kPa (70 psi) minimum, 1,379 kPa (200 psi) maximum, with 552 kPa (80 psi) recommended.
Perform the test procedures on each cylinder according to the tester manufacturer’s instructions. While testing, lis-
ten for pressurized air escaping through the throttle body, tailpipe and oil filler cap opening. Check for bubbles in the
coolant.
All gauge pressure indications should be equal, with no more than 25% leakage per cylinder.
FOR EXAMPLE: At 552 kPa (80 psi) input pressure, a minimum of 414 kPa (60 psi) should be maintained in the
cylinder.

ENGINE OIL LEAK INSPECTION


Begin with a thorough visual inspection of the engine, particularly at the area of the suspected leak. If an oil leak
source is not readily identifiable, the following steps should be followed:
1. Do not clean or degrease the engine at this time because some solvents may cause rubber to swell, temporarily
stopping the leak.
2. Add an oil soluble dye (use as recommended by manufacturer). Start the engine and let idle for approximately 15
minutes. Check the oil level indicator to make sure the dye is thoroughly mixed as indicated with a bright yellow
color under a black light.
3. Using a black light, inspect the entire engine for fluorescent dye, particularly at the suspected area of oil leak. If
the oil leak is found and identified, repair as necessary.
4. If dye is not observed, drive the vehicle at various speeds for approximately 24 km (15 miles), and repeat inspec-
tion.
5. If the oil leak source is not positively identified at this time, proceed with the air leak detection test method
as follows:
• Disconnect the fresh air hose (make-up air) at the cylinder head cover and plug or cap the nipple on the cover.
• Remove the PCV valve hose from the cylinder head cover. Cap or plug the PCV valve nipple on the cover.
• Attach an air hose with pressure gauge and regulator to the oil level indicator tube.

CAUTION: Do not subject the engine assembly to more than 20.6 kpa (3 PSI) of test pressure.

• Gradually apply air pressure from 1 psi to 2.5 psi maximum while applying soapy water at the suspected
source. Adjust the regulator to the suitable test pressure that provides the best bubbles which will pinpoint the
leak source. If the oil leak is detected and identified, repair per service manual procedures.
• If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil seal area, refer to the section, Inspection for Rear Seal Area
Leak.
6. If no leaks are detected, turn off the air supply. Remove the air hose, all plugs, and caps. Install the PCV valve
and fresh air hose (make-up air). Proceed to next step.
7. Clean the oil off the suspect oil leak area using a suitable solvent. Drive the vehicle at various speeds approx-
imately 24 km (15 miles). Inspect the engine for signs of an oil leak by using a black light.
9 - 1908 ENGINE - 2.7L DOHC - SERVICE INFORMATION LX

NOTE: If oil leakage is observed at the oil level indicator tube to block location; remove the tube, clean and
reseal using MoparT Stud & Bearing Mount (press fit tube applications only), and for O-ring style tubes,
remove tube and replace the O-ring seal.

INSPECTION FOR REAR SEAL AREA LEAKS


Since it is sometimes difficult to determine the source of an oil leak in the rear seal area of the engine, a more
involved inspection is necessary. The following steps should be followed to help pinpoint the source of the leak.
If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil seal area:
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Raise the vehicle.
3. Remove torque converter or clutch housing cover and inspect rear of block for evidence of oil. Use a black light
to check for the oil leak. If a leak is present in this area, remove transmission for further inspection.
a. Circular spray pattern generally indicates seal leakage or crankshaft damage.
b. Where leakage tends to run straight down, possible causes are a porous block, oil gallery cup plug, bedplate
to cylinder block mating surfaces and seal bore. See proper repair procedures for these items.
4. If no leaks are detected, pressurize the crankcase as previously described.

CAUTION: Do not exceed 20.6 kPa (3 psi).

5. If the leak is not detected, very slowly turn the crankshaft and watch for leakage. If a leak is detected between
the crankshaft and seal while slowly turning the crankshaft, it is possible the crankshaft seal surface is damaged.
The seal area on the crankshaft could have minor nicks or scratches that can be polished out with emery cloth.

CAUTION: Use extreme caution when crankshaft polishing is necessary to remove minor nicks and
scratches. The crankshaft seal flange is specially machined to complement the function of the rear oil seal.

6. For bubbles that remain steady with shaft rotation, no further inspection can be done until disassembled.
7. After the oil leak root cause and appropriate corrective action have been identified, replace component(s) as
necessary.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
REPAIR OF DAMAGED OR WORN THREADS
Damaged or worn threads (excluding spark plug and camshaft bearing cap attaching threads) can be repaired.
Essentially, this repair consists of drilling out worn or damaged threads, tapping the hole with a special Heli-Coil Tap,
(or equivalent) and installing an insert into the tapped hole. This brings the hole back to its original thread size.

CAUTION: Be sure that the tapped holes maintain the original center line.

Heli-Coil tools and inserts are readily available from automotive parts jobbers.

HYDROSTATIC LOCKED ENGINE


When an engine is suspected to be hydrostatically locked, regardless of what caused the problem, the following
steps should be used.

CAUTION: DO NOT use starter motor to rotate the engine, severe damage may occur.

1. Inspect air cleaner, induction system and intake manifold to insure system is dry and clear of foreign material.
2. Remove negative battery cable.
3. Place a shop towel around the spark plugs when removing them from the engine. This will catch any fluid that
may possibly be in the cylinder under pressure.
4. With all spark plugs removed, rotate engine crankshaft using a breaker bar and socket.
5. Identify the fluid in the cylinder(s) (i.e., coolant, fuel, oil or other).
LX ENGINE - 2.7L DOHC - SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 1909

6. Make sure all fluid has been removed from the cylinders. Inspect engine for damage (i.e., connecting rods, pis-
tons, valves, etc.)
7. Repair engine or components as necessary to prevent this problem from re-occurring.

CAUTION: Squirt approximately one teaspoon of oil into the cylinders, rotate engine to lubricate the cylin-
der walls to prevent damage on restart.

8. Install new spark plugs.


9. Drain engine oil and remove oil filter.
10. Install a new oil filter.
11. Fill engine with specified amount of approved oil.
12. Connect negative battery cable.
13. Start engine and check for any leaks.

FORM-IN-PLACE GASKETS AND SEALERS


There are numerous places where form-in-place gaskets are used on the engine. Care must be taken when apply-
ing form-in-place gaskets to assure obtaining the desired results. Do not use form-in-place gasket material
unless specified. Bead size, continuity, and location are of great importance. Too thin a bead can result in leakage
while too much can result in spill-over which can break off and obstruct fluid feed lines. A continuous bead of the
proper width is essential to obtain a leak-free gasket.
There are numerous types of form-in-place gasket materials that are used in the engine area. MoparT Engine RTV
GEN II, MoparT ATF-RTV, and MoparT Gasket Maker gasket materials, each have different properties and can not
be used in place of the other.
MOPART ENGINE RTV GEN II is used to seal components exposed to engine oil. This material is a specially
designed black silicone rubber RTV that retains adhesion and sealing properties when exposed to engine oil. Mois-
ture in the air causes the material to cure. This material is available in three ounce tubes and has a shelf life of one
year. After one year this material will not properly cure. Always inspect the package for the expiration date before
use.
MOPART ATF RTV is a specifically designed black silicone rubber RTV that retains adhesion and sealing properties
to seal components exposed to automatic transmission fluid, engine coolants, and moisture. This material is avail-
able in three ounce tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one year this material will not properly cure. Always
inspect the package for the expiration date before use.
MOPART GASKET MAKER is an anaerobic type gasket material. The material cures in the absence of air when
squeezed between two metallic surfaces. It will not cure if left in the uncovered tube. The anaerobic material is for
use between two machined surfaces. Do not use on flexible metal flanges.
MOPART BED PLATE SEALANT is a unique (green-in-color) anaerobic type gasket material that is specially made
to seal the area between the bed plate and cylinder block without disturbing the bearing clearance or alignment of
these components. The material cures slowly in the absence of air when torqued between two metallic surfaces,
and will rapidly cure when heat is applied.
MOPART GASKET SEALANT is a slow drying, permanently soft sealer. This material is recommended for sealing
threaded fittings and gaskets against leakage of oil and coolant. Can be used on threaded and machined parts
under all temperatures. This material is used on engines with multi-layer steel (MLS) cylinder head gaskets. This
material also will prevent corrosion. MoparT Gasket Sealant is available in a 13 oz. aerosol can or 4oz./16 oz. can
w/applicator.

SEALER APPLICATION
MoparT Gasket Maker material should be applied sparingly 1 mm (0.040 in.) diameter or less of sealant to one
gasket surface. Be certain the material surrounds each mounting hole. Excess material can easily be wiped off.
Components should be torqued in place within 15 minutes. The use of a locating dowel is recommended during
assembly to prevent smearing material off the location.
MoparT Engine RTV GEN II or ATF RTV gasket material should be applied in a continuous bead approximately 3
mm (0.120 in.) in diameter. All mounting holes must be circled. For corner sealing, a 3.17 or 6.35 mm (1/8 or 1/4 in.)
drop is placed in the center of the gasket contact area. Uncured sealant may be removed with a shop towel. Com-
9 - 1910 ENGINE - 2.7L DOHC - SERVICE INFORMATION LX

ponents should be torqued in place while the sealant is still wet to the touch (within 10 minutes). The usage of a
locating dowel is recommended during assembly to prevent smearing material off the location.
MoparT Gasket Sealant in an aerosol can should be applied using a thin, even coat sprayed completely over both
surfaces to be joined, and both sides of a gasket. Then proceed with assembly. Material in a can w/applicator can
be brushed on evenly over the sealing surfaces. Material in an aerosol can should be used on engines with multi-
layer steel gaskets.

ENGINE GASKET SURFACE PREPARATION


To ensure engine gasket sealing, proper surface prep-
aration must be performed, especially with the use of
aluminum engine components and multi-layer steel
cylinder head gaskets.
Never use the following to clean gasket surfaces:
• Metal scraper
• Abrasive pad or paper to clean cylinder block
and head
• High speed power tool with an abrasive pad or a
wire brush

NOTE: Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets


require a scratch free sealing surface.

Only use the following for cleaning gasket surfaces:


• Solvent or a commercially available gasket

ENGINE CORE AND OIL GALLERY PLUGS


Using a blunt tool such as a drift and a hammer, strike
the bottom edge of the cup plug. With the cup plug
rotated, grasp firmly with pliers or other suitable tool
and remove plug.

CAUTION: Do not drive cup plug into the casting


as restricted cooling can result and cause serious
engine problems.

Thoroughly clean inside of cup plug hole in cylinder


block or head. Be sure to remove old sealer. Lightly
coat inside of cup plug hole with MoparT Stud and
Bearing Mount. Make certain the new plug is cleaned
of all oil or grease. Using proper drive plug, drive plug
into hole so that the sharp edge of the plug is at least
0.5 mm (0.020 in.) inside the lead-in chamfer.
It is not necessary to wait for curing of the sealant.
The cooling system can be refilled and the vehicle placed in service immediately.

CYLINDER HEAD
DESCRIPTION

The cylinder heads (7) are made of an aluminum alloy. The cylinder head features four valves (5) & (6) per cylinder
with pressed in powdered metal valve guides. The cylinder heads provide enclosures for the timing chain drive,
necessitating a unique right and left cylinder head.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING


CYLINDER HEAD GASKET
A cylinder head gasket leak can be located between adjacent cylinders or between a cylinder and the adjacent
water jacket.
Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket leaking between adjacent cylinders are:
• Loss of engine power
• Engine misfiring
• Poor fuel economy
Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket leaking between a cylinder and an adjacent water jacket are:
• Engine overheating
• Loss of coolant
• Excessive steam (white smoke) emitting from exhaust
• Coolant foaming
9 - 1936 ENGINE - 2.7L DOHC - SERVICE INFORMATION LX

CYLINDER-TO-CYLINDER LEAKAGE TEST


To determine if an engine cylinder head gasket is leaking between adjacent cylinders, follow the procedures in Cyl-
inder Compression Pressure Test (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). An engine cylinder head
gasket leaking between adjacent cylinders will result in approximately a 50–70% reduction in compression pressure.

CYLINDER-TO-WATER JACKET LEAKAGE TEST


WARNING: Use extreme caution when the engine is operating with coolant pressure cap removed.

VISUAL TEST METHOD

With the engine cool, remove the coolant pressure cap. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until thermostat
opens.
If a large combustion/compression pressure leak exists, bubbles will be visible in the coolant.

COOLING SYSTEM TESTER METHOD

WARNING: With cooling system tester in place, pressure will build up fast. Excessive pressure built up, by
continuous engine operation, must be released to a safe pressure point. Never permit pressure to exceed
138 kpa (20 psi).

Install Cooling System Tester 7700 or equivalent to pressure cap neck. Start the engine and observe the tester’s

STANDARD PROCEDURE - Cylinder Head Oil Gallery Cup Plug Service


NOTE: Determine which cup plug is leaking before performing this procedure. If necessary, perform an
engine oil leak dye test.

Each cylinder head on a 2.7L engine has 6 external oil gallery cup plugs. It is not necessary to remove the original
cup plug to install a new cup plug. The cup plug bore is deep enough to allow for two plugs. If it becomes neces-
sary to service an oil gallery cup plug, perform the Repair Procedure.

NOTE: Inspect the cup plug bore in question for the presence of two cup plugs. If the cup plug flange is
just inside (1–2 mm) the chamfered edge of the bore two cup plugs are already in place and the cylinder
head cannot be repaired.
LX ENGINE - 2.7L DOHC - SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 1937

Repair Procedure

1. Remove component(s) necessary to gain access to


the oil gallery cup plug requiring service.

NOTE: Some of the oil gallery cup plugs are ser-


viceable with the head installed on the engine and
the engine in the vehicle, while others require
removing the affected cylinder head from the
engine. In either case only replace the cup plug
requiring service.

2. Clean the cup plug bore with brake cleaner and


compressed air. It is not necessary to remove the
existing cup plug.
3. Lightly coat the new cup plug with sealer; p/n
04318083.
4. Using an appropriate installation tool drive the new
cup plug into the bore until the flanged edge of the
plug is just inside (1-2 mm) the chamfered edge of
the bore.

CAMSHAFT(S)
DESCRIPTION

The assembled fabricated camshafts are composed of five bearing journals machined onto a hollow steel tube. The
camshafts are secured in the cylinder head (6) by the camshaft bearing caps (1)&(2). Six steel lobes, a secondary
timing drive sprocket, and a primary sprocket/thrust flange are pressed onto the camshaft tube using a unique
assembly process. Camshaft end play is controlled by the primary camshaft sprocket attachment flange on the
intake camshafts (7) and by a thrust flange on the exhaust camshafts (3). The intake camshafts are driven by the
primary chain. The exhaust camshafts (3) are driven by the intake camshafts (10) through a secondary chain (11).
The secondary chain tensioner (7) keeps tension on the secondary chain (11).

OPERATION
The camshaft has precisely machined (egg shaped) lobes to provide accurate valve timing and duration. The cam-
shaft is driven by the crankshaft via drive sprockets and chains.

VALVES & SEATS-INTAKE/EXHAUST


DESCRIPTION

The valves (5)&(6) are made of heat resistant steel, and have chrome plated stems to prevent scuffing. The four
valves per cylinder (two intake (6) and two exhaust (5)) are actuated by roller rocker arms, which pivot on stationary
lash adjusters. All valves use three bead lock keepers (1) to retain springs (3) and to promote valve rotation.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - VALVE AND VALVE SEAT REFACING


The intake and exhaust valves have a 44.5 to 45
degree face angle (1). The valve seats (2) have a 45
to 45.5 degree face angle.
9 - 1962 ENGINE - 2.7L DOHC - SERVICE INFORMATION LX

VALVES

Inspect the remaining margin (5) after the valves are


refaced (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS).

VALVE SEATS
NOTE: When refacing valve seats, it is important
that the correct size valve guide pilot be used for
reseating stones. A true and complete surface
must be obtained.

1. Measure the concentricity of valve seat using dial


indicator. Total runout should not exceed 0.051 mm
(0.002 inch.) total indicator reading.
2. Inspect the valve seat (3) with Prussian blue to
determine where the valve contacts the seat. To do
this, coat valve seat (3)LIGHTLY with Prussian
blue then set valve in place. Rotate the valve with
light pressure. If the blue is transferred to the cen-
ter of valve face (4), contact is satisfactory. If the
blue is transferred to top edge of valve face, then
lower valve seat with a 15 degree stone. If the blue
is transferred to the bottom edge of valve face,
then raise valve seat with a 65 degree stone.

NOTE: Valve seats which are worn or burned can be reworked, provided that correct angle and seat width
are maintained. Otherwise cylinder head must be replaced.

3. When seat is properly positioned the width of the intake 1.00 to 1.50 mm (0.0394 to 0.0591 in.) and exhaust
seats should be 1.25 to 1.75 mm (0.049 to 0.069 in.).

ENGINE BLOCK
DESCRIPTION
The cylinder block (6) is made of heat treated alumi-
num with cast-in-place iron liners. The block is a
closed deck design with the right bank forward. To
provide high rigidity and improved NVH, the block has
cast-in contours and ribs, along with powdered metal
main caps (2) each with 6 bolts 4 vertical (1) and 2
horizontal (5). The engine is equipped with a windage
tray mounted to the main caps.
The block design allows coolant flow between the cyl-
inder bores and an internal coolant by-pass to the
thermostat.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - CYLINDER BORE HONING


1. Used carefully, the cylinder bore resizing hone, recommended tool C-823 or equivalent, equipped with 220 grit
stones, is the best tool for this honing procedure. In addition to deglazing, it will reduce taper and out-of-round as
well as removing light scuffing, scoring or scratches. Usually a few strokes will clean up a bore and maintain the
required limits.
2. Deglazing of the cylinder walls may be done using a cylinder surfacing hone, recommended tool C-3501 or
equivalent, equipped with 280 grit stones, if the cylinder bore is straight and round. 20–60 strokes depending on
the bore condition, will be sufficient to provide a satisfactory surface. Use a light honing oil. Do not use engine
or transmission oil, mineral spirits or kerosene. Inspect cylinder walls after each 20 strokes.
9 - 1982 ENGINE - 2.7L DOHC - SERVICE INFORMATION LX

3. Honing should be done by moving the hone up and


down fast enough to get a cross-hatch pattern (1).
When hone marks intersect at 40-60 degrees (2),
the cross hatch angle is most satisfactory for
proper seating of rings.

NOTE: A controlled hone motor speed between


200–300 RPM is necessary to obtain the proper
cross-hatch angle. The number of up and down
strokes per minute can be regulated to get the
desired 40–60 degree angle (2). Faster up and
down strokes increase the cross-hatch angle.

4. After honing, it is necessary that the block be


cleaned again to remove all traces of abrasive.

CAUTION: Ensure all abrasives are removed from engine parts after honing. It is recommended that a solu-
tion of soap and hot water be used with a brush and the parts then thoroughly dried. The bore can be
considered clean when it can be wiped clean with a white cloth and cloth remains clean. Oil the bores after
cleaning to prevent rusting.

CLEANING
Clean cylinder block thoroughly using a suitable cleaning solvent.

INSPECTION
ENGINE BLOCK
1. Clean cylinder block thoroughly and check all core hole plugs for evidence of leaking.
2. If new core plugs are to be installed, (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE - ENGINE CORE AND
OIL GALLERY PLUGS).
3. Examine block and cylinder bores for cracks or fractures.
4. Check block deck surfaces for flatness. Deck surface must be within service limit of 0.1 mm (0.004 in.).

CYLINDER BORE
NOTE: The cylinder bores should be measured at normal room temperature, 21°C (70°F).
LX ENGINE - 2.7L DOHC - SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 1983

The cylinder walls should be checked for out-of-round


and taper with Tool C119 or equivalent (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS). If the cylinder walls are
badly scuffed or scored, the cylinder block should be
replaced, and new pistons and rings fitted.
Measure the cylinder bore at three levels in directions
A and B. Top measurement should be 10 mm (3/8 in.)
down and bottom measurement should be 10 mm (3/8
in.) up from bottom of bore. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
SPECIFICATIONS).

The pistons have an “F” cast into the side next to the
pin bore that must face towards the front of the
engine. The connecting rods are made of powdered
metal with a “fractured cap” design. The connecting
rod attaches to the piston with a full floating pin
retained by lock rings. The piston and connecting rod
are serviced as an assembly.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - FITTING PISTONS


The pistons have been cast and machined to one size
and weight. The piston and rod assemblies are
matched to weigh the same for engine balance.
Piston and cylinder wall must be clean and dry. Piston
diameter should be measured 90 degrees to piston
pin at size location shown. Cylinder bores should be
measured halfway down the cylinder bore and trans-
verse to the engine crankshaft center line. Refer to
Engine Specifications. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPEC-
IFICATIONS) Pistons and cylinder bores should be
measured at normal room temperature, 70°F
(21°C).

PISTON PINS
The piston pin is full floating and is held in place by lock rings. Do Not switch pistons with other rods. Pistons
and connecting rods are serviced as an assembly for balance.

LUBRICATION
DESCRIPTION
The lubrication system is a full-flow filtration, pressure feed type. The oil pump body is mounted to the engine block.
The pump inner rotor is driven by the crankshaft. A windage tray is used to increase power by minimizing oil wind-
age at high engine RPM. An engine oil cooler is used on some models.

OPERATION
Oil from the oil pan is pumped by a geroter type oil
pump (3) directly coupled to the crankshaft. Oil pres-
sure is controlled by a relief valve mounted inside the
oil pump housing. Refer to Cylinder Block, Left Cylin-
der Head or Right Cylinder Head art between the
charts for engine oil lubrication circuits.

VALVE TIMING
DESCRIPTION

The timing drive system has been designed to provide quiet performance and reliability to support a NON free-
wheeling engine. The system consists of a primary (5) drive chain and a secondary chain drive.
The primary timing chain (5) is a double-flexure, inverted tooth type chain. The primary chain drives both of the
intake camshafts directly from a sprocket mounted on the crankshaft. In addition, the water pump is driven by the
“back side” of the primary chain, necessitating the double-flexure type chain.
The chain is controlled by three fixed chain guides (2),(7),(11) and a pivoting tensioner arm (8). These guides utilize
low-friction and long wearing nylon plastic wear faces. To tension the primary chain, a fully automatic spring-loaded,
engine oil-fed, hydraulic tensioner (9) is used. The tensioner (9) is mounted in the right cylinder head with the
plunger contacting the pivoting tensioner arm. A mechanical ratchet mechanism inside the tensioner prevents exces-
sive chain slack upon engine start-up as the chain wears. The tensioner is designed with an internal oil reservoir to
assure noise-free performance, even during engine start-up before oil pressure reaches the tensioner.
For lubrication the primary chain utilizes oil leakage from the front of the oil pump. This oil spills on the crankshaft
sprocket, which is then carried by the chain throughout the primary drive.
LX ENGINE - 2.7L DOHC - SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 2075

The secondary timing chain (11) drive system uses two conventional roller-type chains, one at each cylinder bank.
The purpose of the secondary chain (11) is to provide a mechanical driven connection between the intake and
exhaust camshafts. The intake camshafts drive the exhaust camshafts. The sprockets for both intake and exhaust
camshafts are a press-fit and are only serviced as an assembly with the camshafts.
To tension the secondary chain a spring-loaded, hydraulic tensioners (7) are used at each bank and attaches to
each cylinder head between the intake and exhaust camshafts. The tensioner (7) incorporates upper and lower
chain guide faces. The lower guide face is attached directly to the tensioner’s hydraulic plunger. Also, the tensioner
uses an internal oil reservoir design to prevent engine start-up noise. The secondary chains are lubricated via an oil
passage through the upper guide face on each tensioner.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
ENGINE TIMING - VERIFICATION
Correct timing is critical for the NON free-wheeling designed, 2.7L engine. Engine timing can be verified by using
the following procedures:

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING


INTRODUCTION
Engine diagnosis is helpful in determining the causes of malfunctions not detected and remedied by routine main-
tenance.
These malfunctions may be classified as either mechanical (e.g., a strange noise), or performance (e.g., engine
idles rough and stalls).
Refer to (Service Diagnosis - Mechanical Chart) and (Service Diagnosis - Performance Chart), for possible causes
and corrections of malfunctions. Refer to FUEL SYSTEM for the fuel system diagnosis.
Additional tests and diagnostic procedures may be necessary for specific engine malfunctions that cannot be iso-
lated with the Service Diagnosis charts. Information concerning additional tests and diagnosis is provided within the
following:
• Cylinder Compression Pressure Test
• Cylinder Combustion Pressure Leakage Test
• Cylinder Head Gasket Failure Diagnosis
• Intake Manifold Leakage Diagnosis
• Lash Adjuster (Tappet) Noise Diagnosis
• Engine Oil Leak Inspection

CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE TEST


The results of a cylinder compression pressure test can be utilized to diagnose several engine malfunctions.
Ensure the battery is completely charged and the engine starter motor is in good operating condition. Otherwise the
indicated compression pressures may not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
1. Check engine oil level and add oil if necessary.
2. Drive the vehicle until engine reaches normal operating temperature. Select a route free from traffic and other
forms of congestion, observe all traffic laws, and accelerate through the gears several times briskly.
3. Remove all spark plugs from engine. As spark plugs are being removed, check electrodes for abnormal firing
indicators fouled, hot, oily, etc. Record cylinder number of spark plug for future reference.
4. Remove the Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay from the PDC.
5. Be sure throttle blade is fully open during the compression check.
6. Insert compression gauge adaptor Special Tool 8116 or the equivalent, into the #1 spark plug hole in cylinder
head. Connect the 0-500 psi (Blue) pressure transducer (Special Tool CH7059) with cable adaptors to the
DRBIIIT. For Special Tool identification, (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIAL TOOLS).
7. Crank engine until maximum pressure is reached on gauge. Record this pressure as #1 cylinder pressure.
8. Repeat the previous step for all remaining cylinders.
9. Compression should not be less than 689 kPa (100 psi) and not vary more than 25 percent from cylinder to
cylinder.
10. If one or more cylinders have abnormally low compression pressures, repeat the compression test.
11. If the same cylinder or cylinders repeat an abnormally low reading on the second compression test, it could
indicate the existence of a problem in the cylinder in question. The recommended compression pressures
are to be used only as a guide to diagnosing engine problems. An engine should not be disassembled
to determine the cause of low compression unless some malfunction is present.

CYLINDER COMBUSTION PRESSURE LEAKAGE TEST


The combustion pressure leakage test provides an accurate means for determining engine condition.
Combustion pressure leakage testing will detect:
• Exhaust and intake valve leaks (improper seating).
• Leaks between adjacent cylinders or into water jacket.
• Any causes for combustion/compression pressure loss.

WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE PRESSURE CAP WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE
BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN OCCUR.

1. Check the coolant level and fill as required. DO NOT install the pressure cap.
2. Start and operate the engine until it attains normal operating temperature, then turn the engine OFF.
LX ENGINE - 3.5L - SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 2105

3. Clean spark plug recesses with compressed air.


4. Remove the spark plugs.
5. Remove the oil filler cap.
6. Remove the air cleaner.
7. Calibrate the tester according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The shop air source for testing should maintain
483 kPa (70 psi) minimum, 1,379 kPa (200 psi) maximum, with 552 kPa (80 psi) recommended.
8. Perform the test procedures on each cylinder according to the tester manufacturer’s instructions. While testing,
listen for pressurized air escaping through the throttle body, tailpipe and oil filler cap opening. Check for bubbles
in the coolant.
9. All gauge pressure indications should be equal, with no more than 25% leakage per cylinder.
10. FOR EXAMPLE: At 552 kPa (80 psi) input pressure, a minimum of 414 kPa (60 psi) should be maintained in
the cylinder.

ENGINE OIL LEAK INSPECTION


Begin with a thorough visual inspection of the engine, particularly at the area of the suspected leak. If an oil leak
source is not readily identifiable, the following steps should be followed:
1. Do not clean or degrease the engine at this time because some solvents may cause rubber to swell, temporarily
stopping the leak.
2. Add an oil soluble dye (use as recommended by manufacturer). Start the engine and let idle for approximately 15
minutes. Check the oil level indicator to make sure the dye is thoroughly mixed as indicated with a bright yellow
color under a black light.
3. Using a black light, inspect the entire engine for fluorescent dye, particularly at the suspected area of oil leak. If
the oil leak is found and identified, repair as necessary.
4. If dye is not observed, drive the vehicle at various speeds for approximately 24 km (15 miles), and repeat inspec-
tion.
5. If the oil leak source is not positively identified at this time, proceed with the air leak detection test method
as follows:
• Disconnect the fresh air hose (make-up air) at the cylinder head cover and plug or cap the nipple on the cover.
• Remove the PCV valve hose from the cylinder head cover. Cap or plug the PCV valve nipple on the cover.
• Attach an air hose with pressure gauge and regulator to the oil level indicator tube.

CAUTION: Do not subject the engine assembly to more than 20.6 kpa (3 PSI) of test pressure.

• Gradually apply air pressure from 1 psi to 2.5 psi maximum while applying soapy water at the suspected
source. Adjust the regulator to the suitable test pressure that provides the best bubbles which will pinpoint the
leak source. If the oil leak is detected and identified, repair per service manual procedures.
• If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil seal area, refer to the section, Inspection for Rear Seal Area
Leak.
6. If no leaks are detected, turn off the air supply. Remove the air hose, all plugs, and caps. Install the PCV valve
and fresh air hose (make-up air). Proceed to next step.
7. Clean the oil off the suspect oil leak area using a suitable solvent. Drive the vehicle at various speeds approx-
imately 24 km (15 miles). Inspect the engine for signs of an oil leak by using a black light.

NOTE: If oil leakage is observed at the oil level indicator tube to block location; remove the tube, clean and
reseal using MoparT Stud & Bearing Mount (press fit tube applications only), and for O-ring style tubes,
remove tube and replace the O-ring seal.

INSPECTION FOR REAR SEAL AREA LEAKS


Since it is sometimes difficult to determine the source of an oil leak in the rear seal area of the engine, a more
involved inspection is necessary. The following steps should be followed to help pinpoint the source of the leak.
If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil seal area:
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Raise the vehicle.
9 - 2106 ENGINE - 3.5L - SERVICE INFORMATION LX

3. Remove torque converter or clutch housing cover and inspect rear of block for evidence of oil. Use a black light
to check for the oil leak. If a leak is present in this area, remove transmission for further inspection.
a. Circular spray pattern generally indicates seal leakage or crankshaft damage.
b. Where leakage tends to run straight down, possible causes are a porous block, oil gallery cup plug, bedplate
to cylinder block mating surfaces and seal bore. See proper repair procedures for these items.
4. If no leaks are detected, pressurize the crankcase as previously described.

CAUTION: Do not exceed 20.6 kPa (3 psi).

5. If the leak is not detected, very slowly turn the crankshaft and watch for leakage. If a leak is detected between
the crankshaft and seal while slowly turning the crankshaft, it is possible the crankshaft seal surface is damaged.
The seal area on the crankshaft could have minor nicks or scratches that can be polished out with emery cloth.

CAUTION: Use extreme caution when crankshaft polishing is necessary to remove minor nicks and
scratches. The crankshaft seal flange is specially machined to complement the function of the rear oil seal.

6. For bubbles that remain steady with shaft rotation, no further inspection can be done until disassembled.
7. After the oil leak root cause and appropriate corrective action have been identified, replace component(s) as
necessary.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
FORM-IN-PLACE GASKETS AND SEALERS
There are numerous places where form-in-place gaskets are used on the engine. Care must be taken when apply-
ing form-in-place gaskets to assure obtaining the desired results. Do not use form-in-place gasket material
unless specified. Bead size, continuity, and location are of great importance. Too thin a bead can result in leakage
while too much can result in spill-over which can break off and obstruct fluid feed lines. A continuous bead of the
proper width is essential to obtain a leak-free gasket.
There are numerous types of form-in-place gasket materials that are used in the engine area. MoparT Engine RTV
GEN II, MoparT ATF-RTV, and MoparT Gasket Maker gasket materials, each have different properties and can not
be used in place of the other.
MOPART ENGINE RTV GEN II is used to seal components exposed to engine oil. This material is a specially
designed black silicone rubber RTV that retains adhesion and sealing properties when exposed to engine oil. Mois-
ture in the air causes the material to cure. This material is available in three ounce tubes and has a shelf life of one
year. After one year this material will not properly cure. Always inspect the package for the expiration date before
use.
MOPART ATF RTV is a specifically designed black silicone rubber RTV that retains adhesion and sealing properties
to seal components exposed to automatic transmission fluid, engine coolants, and moisture. This material is avail-
able in three ounce tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one year this material will not properly cure. Always
inspect the package for the expiration date before use.
MOPART GASKET MAKER is an anaerobic type gasket material. The material cures in the absence of air when
squeezed between two metallic surfaces. It will not cure if left in the uncovered tube. The anaerobic material is for
use between two machined surfaces. Do not use on flexible metal flanges.
MOPART BED PLATE SEALANT is a unique (green-in-color) anaerobic type gasket material that is specially made
to seal the area between the bedplate and cylinder block without disturbing the bearing clearance or alignment of
these components. The material cures slowly in the absence of air when torqued between two metallic surfaces,
and will rapidly cure when heat is applied.
MOPART GASKET SEALANT is a slow drying, permanently soft sealer. This material is recommended for sealing
threaded fittings and gaskets against leakage of oil and coolant. Can be used on threaded and machined parts
under all temperatures. This material is used on engines with multi-layer steel (MLS) cylinder head gaskets. This
material also will prevent corrosion. MoparT Gasket Sealant is available in a 13 oz. aerosol can or 4oz./16 oz. can
w/applicator.
LX ENGINE - 3.5L - SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 2107

SEALER APPLICATION
MoparT Gasket Maker material should be applied sparingly 1 mm (0.040 in.) diameter or less of sealant to one
gasket surface. Be certain the material surrounds each mounting hole. Excess material can easily be wiped off.
Components should be torqued in place within 15 minutes. The use of a locating dowel is recommended during
assembly to prevent smearing material off the location.
MoparT Engine RTV GEN II or ATF RTV gasket material should be applied in a continuous bead approximately 3
mm (0.120 in.) in diameter. All mounting holes must be circled. For corner sealing, a 3.17 or 6.35 mm (1/8 or 1/4 in.)
drop is placed in the center of the gasket contact area. Uncured sealant may be removed with a shop towel. Com-
ponents should be torqued in place while the sealant is still wet to the touch (within 10 minutes). The usage of a
locating dowel is recommended during assembly to prevent smearing material off the location.
MoparT Gasket Sealant in an aerosol can should be applied using a thin, even coat sprayed completely over both
surfaces to be joined, and both sides of a gasket. Then proceed with assembly. Material in a can w/applicator can
be brushed on evenly over the sealing surfaces. Material in an aerosol can should be used on engines with multi-
layer steel gaskets.

ENGINE GASKET SURFACE PREPARATION


To ensure engine gasket sealing, proper surface prep-
aration must be performed, especially with the use of
aluminum engine components and multi-layer steel
cylinder head gaskets.
Never use the following to clean gasket surfaces:
• Metal scraper
• Abrasive pad or paper to clean cylinder block
and head
• High speed power tool with an abrasive pad or a
wire brush.

NOTE: Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets


require a scratch free sealing surface.

Only use the following for cleaning gasket surfaces:


• Solvent or a commercially available gasket remover
• Plastic or wood scraper.
• Drill motor with 3M Roloc™ Bristle Disc (white or yellow).

CAUTION: Excessive pressure or high RPM (beyond the recommended speed), can damage the sealing sur-
faces. The mild (white, 120 grit) bristle disc is recommended. If necessary, the medium (yellow, 80 grit) bris-
tle disc may be used on cast iron surfaces with care.

REPAIR OF DAMAGED OR WORN THREADS


Damaged or worn threads (excluding spark plug and camshaft bearing cap attaching threads) can be repaired.
Essentially, this repair consists of drilling out worn or damaged threads, tapping the hole with a special Heli-Coil Tap,
(or equivalent) and installing an insert into the tapped hole. This brings the hole back to its original thread size.

CAUTION: Be sure that the tapped holes maintain the original center line.

Heli-Coil tools and inserts are readily available from automotive parts jobbers.

HYDROSTATIC LOCKED ENGINE


9 - 2108 ENGINE - 3.5L - SERVICE INFORMATION LX

When an engine is suspected to be hydrostatically locked, regardless of what caused the problem, the following
steps should be used.

CAUTION: DO NOT use starter motor to rotate the engine, severe damage may occur.

1. Inspect air cleaner, induction system and intake manifold to insure system is dry and clear of foreign material.
2. Remove negative battery cable.
3. Place a shop towel around the spark plugs when removing them from the engine. This will catch any fluid that
may possibly be in the cylinder under pressure.
4. With all spark plugs removed, rotate engine crankshaft using a breaker bar and socket.
5. Identify the fluid in the cylinder(s) (i.e., coolant, fuel, oil or other).
6. Make sure all fluid has been removed from the cylinders. Inspect engine for damage (i.e., connecting rods, pis-
tons, valves, etc.)
7. Repair engine or components as necessary to prevent this problem from re-occurring.

CAUTION: Squirt approximately one teaspoon of oil into the cylinders, rotate engine to lubricate the cylin-
der walls to prevent damage on restart.

8. Install new spark plugs.


9. Drain engine oil and remove oil filter.
10. Install a new oil filter.
11. Fill engine with specified amount of approved oil.
12. Connect negative battery cable.
13. Start engine and check for any leaks.

ENGINE CORE AND OIL GALLERY PLUGS


Using a blunt tool such as a drift (3) and a hammer,
strike the bottom edge of the cup plug (5). With the
cup plug rotated, grasp firmly with pliers (2) or other
suitable tool and remove plug (5).

CAUTION: Do not drive cup plug into the casting


as restricted cooling can result and cause serious
engine problems.

Thoroughly clean inside of cup plug hole in cylinder


block or head. Be sure to remove old sealer. Lightly
coat inside of cup plug hole with MoparT Stud and
Bearing Mount. Make certain the new plug is cleaned
of all oil or grease. Using proper drive plug, drive plug
into hole so that the sharp edge of the plug is at least
0.5 mm (0.020 in.) inside the lead-in chamfer.
It is not necessary to wait for curing of the sealant.
The cooling system can be refilled and the vehicle placed in service immediately.

CYLINDER HEAD(S)
DESCRIPTION
The aluminum alloy cylinder heads feature cross- flow type intake and exhaust ports. Valve guides and seat inserts
are powdered metal. Valves are arranged in a “V”, with each camshaft on center. To improve combustion speed the
chambers are a compact spherical design with a squish area of approximately 30 percent of the piston top area.
The cylinder heads are common to either cylinder bank by reversing the direction of installation.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING


CYLINDER HEAD GASKET
A cylinder head gasket leak can be located between adjacent cylinders or between a cylinder and the adjacent
water jacket.
Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket leaking between adjacent cylinders are:
• Loss of engine power
• Engine misfiring
• Poor fuel economy
Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket leaking between a cylinder and an adjacent water jacket are:
• Engine overheating
• Loss of coolant
• Excessive steam (white smoke) emitting from exhaust
• Coolant foaming

CYLINDER-TO-CYLINDER LEAKAGE TEST


To determine if an engine cylinder head gasket is leaking between adjacent cylinders, follow the procedures in Cyl-
inder Compression Pressure Test (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). An engine cylinder head
gasket leaking between adjacent cylinders will result in approximately a 50–70% reduction in compression pressure.

CYLINDER-TO-WATER JACKET LEAKAGE TEST


WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING WITH COOLANT PRESSURE CAP
REMOVED.

VISUAL TEST METHOD

With the engine cool, remove the coolant pressure cap. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until thermostat
opens.
If a large combustion/compression pressure leak exists, bubbles will be visible in the coolant.

COOLING SYSTEM TESTER METHOD

WARNING: WITH COOLING SYSTEM TESTER IN PLACE, PRESSURE WILL BUILD UP FAST. EXCESSIVE
PRESSURE BUILT UP, BY CONTINUOUS ENGINE OPERATION, MUST BE RELEASED TO A SAFE PRESSURE
POINT. NEVER PERMIT PRESSURE TO EXCEED 138 kPa (20 psi).

Install Cooling System Tester 7700 or equivalent to pressure cap neck. Start the engine and observe the tester’s
pressure gauge. If gauge pulsates with every power stroke of a cylinder a combustion pressure leak is evident.

CHEMICAL TEST METHOD

Combustion leaks into the cooling system can also be checked by using Bloc-Chek Kit C-3685-A or equivalent.
Perform test following the procedures supplied with the tool kit.

CLEANING
To ensure engine gasket sealing, proper surface preparation must be performed, especially with the use of alumi-
num engine components and multi-layer steel cylinder head gaskets.

NOTE: Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets require a scratch free sealing surface.

Remove all gasket material from cylinder head and block (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE). Be
careful not to gouge or scratch the aluminum head sealing surface.
Clean all engine oil passages.

INSPECTION
1. Before cleaning, check for leaks, damage and
cracks.
2. Clean cylinder head and oil passages.
3. Check cylinder head for flatness.
4. Cylinder head must be flat within:
• Standard dimension = less than 0.05 mm (0.002
inch.)
• Service Limit = 0.2 mm (0.008 inch.)
• Grinding Limit = Maximum of 0.2 mm (0.008
inch.) is permitted.

CAUTION: 0.20 mm (0.008 in.) MAX is a combined


total dimension of the stock removal limit from
cylinder head and block top surface (Deck)
together.

INSTALLATION - CYLINDER HEAD(S)


RIGHT CYLINDER HEAD
CAUTION: THE CYLINDER HEAD GASKETS ARE
NOT INTERCHANGEABLE BETWEEN CYLINDER
HEADS AND ARE CLEARLY MARKED RIGHT OR
LEFT.

The cylinder head bolts are tightened using a


torque plus angle procedure. The bolts must be
examined BEFORE reuse. If the threads are
necked down the bolts must be replaced..
Necking can be checked by holding a scale or straight
edge against the threads. If all the threads do not con-

CAMSHAFT(S)
DESCRIPTION
A single overhead camshaft per cylinder head provides valve actuation. The left camshaft accommodates a cam
sensor pick-up wheel and is therefore longer. Each camshaft is supported by four bearing journals. A thrust plate
attached to the rear of each cylinder head controls camshaft end play. Right and left camshaft driving sprockets
support a timing mark, are keyed, and not interchangeable because of the cam sensor pick-up wheel on the left
sprocket. Camshaft bearing lubrication is provided via a oil supply passage through each rocker shaft pedestal
dowel.

OPERATION
The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft via drive sprockets and belt. The camshaft has precisely machined lobes
to provide accurate valve timing and duration.

REMOVAL
NOTE: Camshafts are removed from the rear of
each cylinder head.

1. Remove the cylinder head (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/


CYLINDER HEAD - REMOVAL).

CAUTION: Care must be taken not to nick or


scratch the journals when removing the camshaft.

2. Carefully remove the camshaft (3) from the rear of


the cylinder head.

INSPECTION
1. Inspect camshaft bearing journals (4) for damage
and binding. If journals are binding, check the cyl-
inder head for damage. Also check cylinder head
oil holes for clogging.
2. Check the cam lobe (5) and bearing surfaces for
abnormal wear and damage. Replace camshaft if
defective.

NOTE: If camshaft is replaced due to lobe wear or


damage, always replace the rocker arms.

VALVES & SEATS -INTAKE/EXHAUST


DESCRIPTION
Valves are made of highly heat-resistant steel and are chrome plated to prevent stem scuffing. The intake valve is
a one-piece forging, while the exhaust valve has a forged head with a welded stem for lock groove hardness. The
four valves (two intake and two exhaust) employ a three-groove lock design to help facilitate valve rotation.

OPERATION
The intake valve allows the air/fuel mixture to enter the combustion chamber. The exhaust valve allows the burned
air/fuel mixture to exit the combustion chamber. Also, the intake and exhaust valves seal the combustion chamber
during the compression and power strokes.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
VALVE AND VALVE SEAT REFACING
VALVES
1. Inspect the remaining margin (1) after the valves
are refaced (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
SPECIFICATIONS).

VALVE SEATS
1. When refacing valve seats, it is important that the
correct size valve guide pilot be used for reseating
stones. A true and complete surface must be
obtained.
2. Measure the concentricity of valve seat using dial
indicator. Total runout should not exceed 0.051 mm
(0.002 inch.) total indicator reading.
3. Inspect the valve seat (3) with Prussian blue to
determine where the valve (1) contacts the seat. To
do this, coat valve seat (1) LIGHTLY with Prussian
blue then set valve in place. Rotate the valve with
light pressure. If the blue is transferred to the center of valve face (2), contact is satisfactory. If the blue is trans-
ferred to top edge of valve face (2), then lower valve seat (3) with a 15° stone. If the blue is transferred to the
bottom edge of valve face (2), then raise valve seat (3) with a 65° stone.

NOTE: Valve seats (1) which are worn or burned can be reworked, provided that correct angle and seat
width (1) are maintained. Otherwise cylinder head must be replaced.

4. When seat is properly positioned the width of the intake seats should be 0.75 to 1.25 mm (0.0296 to 0.0493 in.)
and exhaust seats should be 1.25 to 1.75 mm (0.049 to 0.069 in.).
9 - 2172 ENGINE - 3.5L - SERVICE INFORMATION LX

VALVE AND SPRING INSTALLED HEIGHT

1. Coat valve stems with clean engine oil and insert


them in cylinder head.
2. If valves or seats have been refaced, check valve
tip height (A). If valve tip height is greater than
43.65 mm (1.7185 in.) intake or 46.48 mm (1.8299
in.) exhaust, grind valve tip until within specifica-
tions. Make sure measurement is taken from cylin-
der head surface to the top of valve stem.
3. Install valve seal/spring seat assembly over valve
guides on all valve stem. Ensure that the garter
spring is intact around the top of the rubber seal.

4. Place valve spring (color-coded end facing up) and


valve retainer into position on spring seat.

5. Compress valve springs (4) with valve spring com-


pressor C-3422-D and adapter 6526 (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE - SPECIAL TOOLS), install locks (2) and
release tool.
6. If valves (1) and/or seats are refaced, measure the
installed height of springs. Measurements are
taken from top of spring (4) seat to the bottom sur-
face of spring retainer. If height is greater than
38.75 mm (1.5256 in.), install a 0.762 mm (0.030
in.) spacer in head counterbore under the valve
spring seat to bring spring height back within
specification.

mm (2.36 in.) below the valve lock grooves.
2. Compare measurement to specifications, (Refer to
9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS).

NOTE: Valve stems are chrome plated and should


not be polished.

VALVE GUIDES
1. Measure valve stem-to-guide clearance as follows:
2. Install valve into cylinder head so it is 15 mm
(0.590 inch.) off the valve seat. A small piece of
hose may be used to hold valve in place.
3. Attach dial indicator Tool C-3339 to cylinder head
and set it at right angle of valve stem being mea-
sured.
4. Move valve to and from the indicator.
5. Note dial indicator reading and compare to engine
specifications. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICA-
TIONS)

NOTE: Replace cylinder head if stem-to-guide

ROCKER ARM SHAFT/ ROCKER ARM / LASH ADJUSTER


DESCRIPTION
ROCKER ARM
Rocker arms are made of light weight permanent mold
aluminum alloy with a roller (3) type follower operating
against the camshaft. The valve actuating end of the
rocker arms are machined to retain hydraulic lash
adjusters, eliminating the need for manual valve lash
adjustment.

ROCKER ARM SHAFTS


The rocker arm shafts are tubular steel and are sup-
ported by several forged aluminum alloy pedestals,
which are fastened to the cylinder head. Four shafts
are used, one for each intake and exhaust rocker arm
bank on each cylinder head. The shafts are hollow to
provide a duct for lubricating oil flow from the cylinder
head to the valve mechanisms. One hollow dowel per
pedestal is used to locate the pedestal to the cylinder
head, orient the exhaust rocker shaft, and serve as a
cam bearing oil feed passage.

OPERATION
The rocker arm is the pivot point between the camshaft lobe and the valve.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

SPRING -VALVE
DESCRIPTION
The valve springs are made from chrome silicon alloy
wire and incorporate a “bee-hive” design. Valve spring
retainers and locks are common from valve-to-valve.
The valve spring seat is integral with the valve stem
oil seal, which incorporates a garter spring to maintain
consistent lubrication control to the valve stem.
The valve springs are unique for intake compared to
exhaust. Both have different lengths and are wound in
opposite directions. The valve springs are color coded,
intake spring is right hand coil direction with orange
dye on the top coils, and the exhaust spring is left
hand coil direction with a yellow or white dye on the
top coils.
The exhaust spring with the white dye on the top of the coils has an increased open and closed load when com-
pared to the exhaust spring with the yellow dye. A yellow and a white exhaust valve spring should never be used
on a single forked rocker arm. Color coated exhaust springs should always be used in pairs for a forked exhaust
rocker springs.

OPERATION
The valve spring returns the valve against its seat for a positive seal of the combustion chamber.

BEARING -CRANKSHAFT MAIN


STANDARD PROCEDURE
CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARING FITTING
The main bearings are a “select fit” to achieve proper
oil clearances. For main bearing selection, the block
and crankshaft have grade identification marks.
The marks for the cylinder block main bore grade are
located on the right front side of the engine block.
These grade marks (1, 2, or 3) are read left to right,
corresponding to main bore 1, 2, 3, 4. The 5th digit is
a check some digit for plant validation during
manufacturing.

The grade marks for the crankshaft are located on the


rearmost crankshaft counter weight as shown in. The
crankshaft journal grade marks (A, B, or C) are read
left to right, corresponding with journal number 1, 2, 3,
4.
Refer to the MAIN BEARING SELECTION CHART to
properly select the main bearings. For an example, if
the main bore grade is 3 and the journal grade is B,
the proper select fit bearing would be a (2) +0.003 mm
(+0.0002 in.).

Engine oil stored in the oil pan (5) is drawn in and discharged by a gear rotor type oil pump (2, 3). The oil pump
is directly coupled to the crankshaft (1). Oil pressure is regulated by a relief valve (4). The oil is fed through an oil
filter and to the crankshaft journals from the oil gallery (8) in the cylinder block. This gallery also feeds oil under
pressure to the cylinder heads. Oil flows through each cylinder heads oil passage to the rocker shafts (10, 16). Oil
then feeds the camshaft journals (12), rocker arms, and hydraulic lash adjusters.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ENGINE DIAGNOSIS - INTRODUCTION
Engine diagnosis is helpful in determining the causes of malfunctions not detected and remedied by routine main-
tenance.
These malfunctions may be classified as either performance (e.g., engine idles rough and stalls) or mechanical
(e.g., a strange noise).
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING) - PERFORMANCE and (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING)—MECHANICAL for possible causes and corrections of malfunctions. (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/
FUEL DELIVERY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING) and (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL INJECTION - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING) for the fuel system diagnosis.
Additional tests and diagnostic procedures may be necessary for specific engine malfunctions that can not be iso-
lated with the Service Diagnosis charts. Information concerning additional tests and diagnosis is provided within the
following diagnosis:
• Cylinder Compression Pressure Test (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE


The results of a cylinder compression pressure test can be utilized to diagnose several engine malfunctions.
Ensure the battery is completely charged and the engine starter motor is in good operating condition. Otherwise the
indicated compression pressures may not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
1. Clean the spark plug recesses with compressed air.
2. Remove the spark plugs.
3. Disable the fuel system (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY - DESCRIPTION).
4. Remove the ASD relay (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IGNITION CONTROL/AUTO SHUT DOWN RELAY -
REMOVAL).
5. Insert a compression pressure gauge and rotate the engine with the engine starter motor for three revolutions.
6. Record the compression pressure on the 3rd revolution. Continue the test for the remaining cylinders.
7. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS) for the correct engine compression pressures.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER COMBUSTION PRESSURE LEAKAGE


The combustion pressure leakage test provides an accurate means for determining engine condition.
Combustion pressure leakage testing will detect:
• Exhaust and intake valve leaks (improper seating).
• Leaks between adjacent cylinders or into water jacket.
• Any causes for combustion/compression pressure loss.
1. Check the coolant level and fill as required. DO NOT install the radiator cap.
2. Start and operate the engine until it attains normal operating temperature, then turn the engine OFF.
3. Remove the spark plugs.
4. Remove the oil filler cap.
9 - 2290 ENGINE - 5.7L SERVICE INFORMATION LX

5. Remove the air cleaner hose.


6. Calibrate the tester according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The shop air source for testing should maintain
483 kPa (70 psi) minimum, 1,379 kPa (200 psi) maximum and 552 kPa (80 psi) recommended.
7. Perform the test procedures on each cylinder according to the tester manufacturer’s instructions. Set piston of
cylinder to be tested at TDC compression,While testing, listen for pressurized air escaping through the throttle
body, tailpipe and oil filler cap opening. Check for bubbles in the radiator coolant.
All gauge pressure indications should be equal, with no more than 25% leakage.
FOR EXAMPLE: At 552 kPa (80 psi) input pressure, a minimum of 414 kPa (60 psi) should be maintained in the
cylinder.

9 - 2320 ENGINE - 5.7L SERVICE INFORMATION LX

CYLINDER HEAD
OPERATION—CYLINDER HEAD
The cylinder head closes the combustion chamber allowing the pistons to compress the air fuel mixture to the cor-
rect ratio for ignition. The valves located in the cylinder head open and close to either allow clean air into the com-
bustion chamber or to allow the exhaust gases out, depending on the stroke of the engine.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER HEAD GASKET FAILURE


A cylinder head gasket leak can be located between adjacent cylinders or between a cylinder and the adjacent
water jacket.
• Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket leaking between adjacent cylinders are:
− Loss of engine power
− Engine misfiring
− Poor fuel economy
• Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket leaking between a cylinder and an adjacent water jacket are:
− Engine overheating
− Loss of coolant
− Excessive steam (white smoke) emitting from exhaust
− Coolant foaming

CYLINDER-TO-CYLINDER LEAKAGE TEST


To determine if an engine cylinder head gasket is leaking between adjacent cylinders, follow the procedures in Cyl-
inder Compression Pressure Test in this section. An engine cylinder head gasket leaking between adjacent cylinders
will result in approximately a 50–70% reduction in compression pressure.

CYLINDER-TO-WATER JACKET LEAKAGE TEST


WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING WITH COOLANT PRESSURE CAP
REMOVED.

VISUAL TEST METHOD

With the engine cool, remove the coolant pressure cap. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until thermostat
opens.
If a large combustion/compression pressure leak exists, bubbles will be visible in the coolant.

COOLING SYSTEM TESTER METHOD

WARNING: WITH COOLING SYSTEM TESTER IN PLACE, PRESSURE WILL BUILD UP FAST. EXCESSIVE
PRESSURE BUILT UP, BY CONTINUOUS ENGINE OPERATION, MUST BE RELEASED TO A SAFE PRESSURE
POINT. NEVER PERMIT PRESSURE TO EXCEED 138 kPa (20 psi).

Install Cooling System Tester 7700 or equivalent to pressure cap neck. Start the engine and observe the tester’s
pressure gauge. If gauge pulsates with every power stroke of a cylinder a combustion pressure leak is evident.

CHEMICAL TEST METHOD

Combustion leaks into the cooling system can also be checked by using Bloc-Chek Kit C-3685-A or equivalent.
Perform test following the procedures supplied with the tool kit.

VALVES & SEATS - INTAKE/EXHAUST


DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - VALVE GUIDES
The valve guides are made of powdered metal and are pressed into the cylinder head. The guides are not replace-
able or serviceable, and valve guide reaming is not recommended. If the guides are worn beyond acceptable limits,
replace the cylinder heads.

DESCRIPTION
Both the intake and exhaust valves are made of steel. The intake valve is 50.93 mm (2.00 inches) in diameter and
the exhaust valve is 39.53 mm (1.55 inches) in diameter. All valves use three bead lock keepers to retain the
springs and promote valve rotation.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFACING


NOTE: Valve seats that are worn or burned can be reworked, provided that correct angle and seat width are
maintained. Otherwise the cylinder head must be replaced.

NOTE: When refacing valves and valve seats, it is important that the correct size valve guide pilot be used
for reseating stones. A true and complete surface must be obtained.

1. Using a suitable dial indicator measure the center of the valve seat Total run out must not exceed 0.051 mm
(0.002 in).
2. Apply a small amount of Prussian blue to the valve seat, insert the valve into the cylinder head, while applying
light pressure on the valve rotate the valve. Remove the valve and examine the valve face. If the blue is trans-
ferred below the top edge of the valve face, lower the valve seat using a 15 degree stone. If the blue is trans-
ferred to the bottom edge of the valve face, raise the valve seat using a 65 degree stone.
3. When the seat is properly positioned the width of the intake seat must be 1.018 - 1.62 mm (0.0464 - 0.0637 in.)
and the exhaust seat must be 1.48 - 1.92 mm (0.058 - 0.075 in.).
4. Check the valve spring installed height after refacing the valve and seat. The installed height for both intake and
exhaust valve springs must not exceed 46.0 mm (1.81 in.).

ENGINE BLOCK
CLEANING
Thoroughly clean the oil pan and engine block gasket surfaces.
Use compressed air to clean out:
• The galley at the oil filter adaptor hole.
• The front and rear oil galley holes.
• The MDS oil galley holes in the valley.
• The feed holes for the crankshaft main bearings.
Drill and tapped holes should be free of debris upon assembly.
Once the block has been completely cleaned, apply Loctite PST pipe sealant with Teflon 592 to the threads of the
front and rear oil galley plugs, and coolant drain plugs. Tighten the oil galley 1/4 inch x 18 NPT plugs to 20 N·m
(177 in. lbs.) torque. Tighten the coolant drain 1/4 inch x 18 NPT plugs to 34N·m (300 in. lbs.) torque. Tighten the
3/8 inch x 18 NPT plugs to 27 N·m (240 in. lbs.) torque.

INSPECTION
1. It is mandatory to use a dial bore gauge to mea-
sure each cylinder bore diameter. To correctly
select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore
gauge, capable of reading in 0.003 mm (.0001 in.)
INCREMENTS is required. If a bore gauge is not
available, do not use an inside micrometer.
2. Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder bore at
three levels below top of bore. Start perpendicular
(across or at 90 degrees) to the axis of the crank-
shaft and then take two additional reading.
3. Measure the cylinder bore diameter crosswise to
the cylinder block near the top of the bore. Repeat
the measurement near the middle of the bore, then
repeat the measurement near the bottom of the
bore.
4. Determine taper by subtracting the smaller diame-
ter from the larger diameter.
5. Rotate measuring device 90° and repeat steps
above.
6. Determine out-of-roundness by comparing the dif-
ference between each measurement.
7. If cylinder bore taper does not exceed 0.025 mm (0.001 inch) and out-of-roundness does not exceed 0.015 mm
(0.0006 inch), the cylinder bore can be honed. If the cylinder bore taper or out- of-round condition exceeds these
maximum limits, the cylinder block must be replaced. A slight amount of taper always exists in the cylinder bore
after the engine has been in use for a period of time.

SEAL-CRANKSHAFT OIL-REAR
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR SEAL AREA LEAKS
Since it is sometimes difficult to determine the source of an oil leak in the rear seal area of the engine, a more
involved inspection is necessary. The following steps should be followed to help pinpoint the source of the leak.
If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil seal area:
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Raise the vehicle.
3. Remove torque converter or clutch housing cover and inspect rear of block for evidence of oil. Use a black light
to check for the oil leak:
a. Circular spray pattern generally indicates seal leakage or crankshaft damage.
b. Where leakage tends to run straight down, possible causes are a porous block, camshaft bore cup plugs, oil
galley pipe plugs, oil filter runoff, and main bearing cap to cylinder block mating surfaces. See Engine, for
proper repair procedures of these items.
4. If no leaks are detected, pressurized the crankcase as outlined in the section, Inspection (Engine oil Leaks in
general)

CAUTION: Do not exceed 20.6 kPa (3 psi).

5. If the leak is not detected, very slowly turn the crankshaft and watch for leakage. If a leak is detected between
the crankshaft and seal while slowly turning the crankshaft, it is possible the crankshaft seal surface is damaged.
The seal area on the crankshaft could have minor nicks or scratches that can be polished out with emery cloth.

CAUTION: Use extreme caution when crankshaft polishing is necessary to remove minor nicks or
scratches. The crankshaft seal flange is specially machined to complement the function of the rear oil seal.

6. For bubbles that remain steady with shaft rotation, no further inspection can be done until disassembled. (Refer
to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING), under the Oil Leak row, for components inspections on possible
causes and corrections.
7. After the oil leak root cause and appropriate corrective action have been identified, (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/EN-
GINE BLOCK/CRANKSHAFT OIL SEAL - REAR - REMOVAL).

REMOVAL
NOTE: This procedure can be performed in vehi-
cle.

1. If being performed in vehicle, remove the transmis-


sion.
2. Remove the flexplate (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/EN-
GINE BLOCK/FLEX PLATE - REMOVAL).

NOTE: The crankshaft oil seal CAN NOT be reused


after removal.

NOTE: The crankshaft rear oil seal remover Spe-


cial Tool 8506 must be installed deeply into the
seal. Continue to tighten the removal tool into the
seal until the tool can not be turned farther. Fail-
ure to install tool correctly the first time will cause
tool to pull free of seal without removing seal from
engine.

LX ENGINE - 5.7L SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 2381

TAPPETS-HYDRAULIC ROLLER
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HYDRAULIC TAPPETS
Before disassembling any part of the engine to correct tappet noise, check the oil pressure. If vehicle has no oil
pressure gauge, install a reliable gauge at the pressure sending-unit. The pressure should be between 207-552 kPa
(30-70 psi) at 3,000 RPM.
Check the oil level after the engine reaches normal operating temperature. Allow 5 minutes to stabilize oil level,
check dipstick. The oil level in the pan should never be above the FULL mark or below the ADD OIL mark on
dipstick. Either of these two conditions could be responsible for noisy tappets.

OIL LEVEL
HIGH

If oil level is above the FULL mark, it is possible for the connecting rods to dip into the oil. With the engine running,
this condition could create foam in the oil pan. Foam in oil pan would be fed to the hydraulic tappets by the oil pump
causing them to lose length and allow valves to seat noisily.

LOW

Low oil level may allow oil pump to take in air. When air is fed to the tappets, they lose length, which allows valves
to seat noisily. Any leaks on intake side of oil pump through which air can be drawn will create the same tappet
action. Check the lubrication system from the intake strainer to the pump cover, including the relief valve retainer
cap. When tappet noise is due to aeration, it may be intermittent or constant, and usually more than one tappet will
be noisy. When oil level and leaks have been corrected, operate the engine at fast idle. Run engine for a sufficient
time to allow all of the air inside the tappets to be bled out.

TAPPET NOISE DIAGNOSIS


1. To determine source of tappet noise, crank over engine with cylinder head covers removed.
2. Feel each valve spring or rocker arm to detect noisy tappet. The noisy tappet will cause the affected spring
and/or rocker arm to vibrate or feel rough in operation.

NOTE: Worn valve guides or cocked springs are sometimes mistaken for noisy tappets. If such is the case,
noise may be dampened by applying side thrust on the valve spring. If noise is not appreciably reduced, it
can be assumed the noise is in the tappet. Inspect the rocker arm push rod sockets and push rod ends for
wear.

3. Valve tappet noise ranges from light noise to a heavy click. A light noise is usually caused by excessive leak-
down around the unit plunger, or by the plunger partially sticking in the tappet body cylinder. The tappet should
be replaced. A heavy click is caused by a tappet check valve not seating, or by foreign particles wedged between
the plunger and the tappet body. This will cause the plunger to stick in the down position. This heavy click will be
accompanied by excessive clearance between the valve stem and rocker arm as valve closes. In either case,
tappet assembly should be removed for inspection and cleaning.
4. The valve train generates a noise very much like a light tappet noise during normal operation. Care must be
taken to ensure that tappets are making the noise. If more than one tappet seems to be noisy, it’s probably not
the tappets.

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
2. Remove the air cleaner (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/AIR INTAKE SYSTEM - REMOVAL).

PISTON & CONNECTING ROD


DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Do not use a metal stamp to mark connecting rods as damage may result, instead use ink or a
scratch awl.

The pistons are made of a high strength aluminum alloy. Piston skirts are coated with a solid lubricant (Molykote) to
reduce friction and provide scuff resistance. The piston top ring groove and land is anodized. The connecting rods
are made of forged powdered metal, with a “fractured cap” design. A pressed fit piston pin is used to attach the
piston and connecting rod.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - PISTON FITTING


1. To correctly select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge, capable of reading in 0.003 mm ( .0001 in.)
INCREMENTS is required. If a bore gauge is not available, do not use an inside micrometer.
2. Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder bore at a point 38.0 mm (1.5 inches) below top of bore. Start per-
pendicular (across or at 90 degrees) to the axis of the crankshaft at point A and then take an additional bore
reading 90 degrees to that at point B.
3. The coated pistons will be serviced with the piston pin and connecting rod pre-assembled. The piston-rod assem-
bly is specific for the left cylinder bank ( odd numbered) and the right cylinder bank ( even numbered) and must
not be interchanged.
LX ENGINE - 5.7L SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 2385

4. The coating material is applied to the piston after


the final piston machining process. Measuring the
outside diameter of a coated piston will not provide
accurate results. Therefore measuring the inside
diameter of the cylinder bore with a dial Bore
Gauge is MANDATORY. To correctly select the
proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge capable
of reading in 0.003 mm (.0001 in.) increments is
required.
5. Piston installation into the cylinder bore requires
slightly more pressure than that required for non-
coated pistons. The bonded coating on the piston
will give the appearance of a line-to-line fit with the
cylinder bore.

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect negative cable from battery.
2. Remove the following components:
• Oil pan and gasket/windage tray (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL PAN - REMOVAL).
• Cylinder head covers (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD COVER(S) - REMOVAL) and
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
• Timing chain cover (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT / CHAIN COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
• Cylinder head(s) (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD - REMOVAL) and (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER
HEAD - REMOVAL).
3. If necessary, remove top ridge of cylinder bores with a reliable ridge reamer before removing pistons from cyl-
inder block. Be sure to keep tops of pistons covered during this operation. Pistons and connecting rods
must be removed from top of cylinder block. When removing piston and connecting rod assemblies from the
engine, rotate crankshaft so the each connecting rod is centered in cylinder bore.

CAUTION: DO NOT use a number stamp or a punch to mark connecting rods or caps, as damage to con-
necting rods could occur

NOTE: Connecting rods and bearing caps are not


interchangeable and should be marked before
removing to ensure correct reassembly.

4. Mark connecting rod and bearing cap positions


using a permanent ink marker or scribe tool.

CAUTION: Care must be taken not to damage the


fractured rod and cap joint face surfaces, as
engine damage may occur.
9 - 2386 ENGINE - 5.7L SERVICE INFORMATION LX

5. Remove connecting rod cap. Install Special Tool 8507 Connecting Rod Guides into the connecting rod being
removed. Remove piston from cylinder bore. Repeat this procedure for each piston being removed.

CAUTION: Care must be taken not to nick crankshaft journals, as engine damage may occur

6. Immediately after piston and connecting rod removal, install bearing cap on the mating connecting rod to prevent
damage to the fractured cap and rod surfaces.
7. Carefully remove piston rings from piston(s), starting from the top ring down.

CLEANING
CAUTION: DO NOT use a wire wheel or other abrasive cleaning devise to clean the pistons or connecting
rods. The pistons have a Moly coating, this coating must not be damaged.

1. Using a suitable cleaning solvent clean the pistons in warm water and towel dry.
2. Use a wood or plastic scraper to clean the ring land grooves.

CAUTION: DO NOT remove the piston pin from the piston and connecting rod assembly.

INSPECTION
Check the connecting rod journal for excessive wear, taper and scoring (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/
CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
Check the connecting rod for signs of twist or bending.
Check the piston for taper and elliptical shape before it is fitted into the cylinder bore (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE
BLOCK/PISTON & CONNECTING ROD - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
Check the piston for scoring, or scraping marks in the piston skirts. Check the ring lands for cracks and/or deteri-
oration.
LX ENGINE - 5.7L SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 2387

INSTALLATION

LUBRICATION
DESCRIPTION

The lubrication system is a full flow filtration pressure feed type.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING


DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHECKING ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
1. Remove oil pressure sending unit and install gauge assembly C-3292.
2. Run engine until thermostat opens.
3. Oil Pressure:
• Curb Idle–25 kPa (4 psi) minimum
• 3000 rpm–170 - 758 kPa (25 - 110 psi)
4. If oil pressure is 0 at idle, shut off engine. Check for a clogged oil pick-up screen or a pressure relief valve stuck
open.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ENGINE OIL LEAK


Begin with a thorough visual inspection of the engine, particularly at the area of the suspected leak. If an oil leak
source is not readily identifiable, the following steps should be followed:
9 - 2412 ENGINE - 5.7L SERVICE INFORMATION LX

1. Do not clean or degrease the engine at this time because some solvents may cause rubber to swell, temporarily
stopping the leak.
2. Add an oil soluble dye (use as recommended by manufacturer). Start the engine and let idle for approximately 15
minutes. Check the oil dipstick to make sure the dye is thoroughly mixed as indicated with a bright yellow color
under a black light.
3. Using a black light, inspect the entire engine for fluorescent dye, particularly at the suspected area of oil leak. If
the oil leak is found and identified, repair per service manual instructions.
4. If dye is not observed, drive the vehicle at various speeds for approximately 24 km (15 miles), and repeat inspec-
tion.If the oil leak source is not positively identified at this time, proceed with the air leak detection test
method.

Air Leak Detection Test Method


1. Remove the PCV valve from the IAFM. Cap or plug the PCV valve grommet.
2. Attach an air hose with pressure gauge and regulator to the dipstick tube.

CAUTION: Do not subject the engine assembly to more than 20.6 kPa (3 PSI) of test pressure.

3. Gradually apply air pressure from 1 psi to 2.5 psi maximum while applying soapy water at the suspected source.
Adjust the regulator to the suitable test pressure that provide the best bubbles which will pinpoint the leak
source. If the oil leak is detected and identified, repair per service manual procedures.
4. If the leakage occurs at the rear oil seal area, refer to the section, Inspection for Rear Seal Area Leak.
5. If no leaks are detected, turn off the air supply and remove the air hose and all plugs and caps. Install the PCV
valve.
6. Clean the oil off the suspect oil leak area using a suitable solvent. Drive the vehicle at various speeds approx-
imately 24 km (15 miles). Inspect the engine for signs of an oil leak by using a black light.

INSPECTION FOR REAR SEAL AREA LEAKS


Since it is sometimes difficult to determine the source of an oil leak in the rear seal area of the engine, a more
involved inspection is necessary. The following steps should be followed to help pinpoint the source of the leak.
If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil seal area:
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Raise the vehicle.
3. Remove torque converter or clutch housing cover and inspect rear of block for evidence of oil. Use a black light
to check for the oil leak:
a. Circular spray pattern generally indicates seal leakage or crankshaft damage.
b. Where leakage tends to run straight down, possible causes are a porous block, distributor seal, camshaft
bore cup plugs oil galley pipe plugs, oil filter runoff, and main bearing cap to cylinder block mating surfaces.
4. If no leaks are detected, pressurize the crankcase as outlined in the, Inspection (Engine oil Leaks in general)

CAUTION: Do not exceed 20.6 kPa (3 psi).

5. If the leak is not detected, very slowly turn the crankshaft and watch for leakage. If a leak is detected between
the crankshaft and seal while slowly turning the crankshaft, it is possible the crankshaft seal surface is damaged.
The seal area on the crankshaft could have minor nicks or scratches that can be polished out with emery cloth.

CAUTION: Use extreme caution when crankshaft polishing is necessary to remove minor nicks and
scratches. The crankshaft seal flange is especially machined to complement the function of the rear oil seal.

6. For bubbles that remain steady with shaft rotation, no further inspection can be done until disassembled.

MANIFOLD - EXHAUST
DESCRIPTION
The exhaust manifolds are log style with a patented flow enhancing design to maximize performance. The exhaust
manifolds are made of high silicon molybdenum cast iron. A multi-layer stainless steel exhaust manifold gasket is
used to improve sealing to the cylinder head. The exhaust manifolds are covered by a three layer laminated heat
shield for thermal protection and noise reduction. The heat shields are fastened with a torque prevailing nut that is
backed off slightly to allow for the thermal expansion of the exhaust manifold, with the exception of the nut, which
also secures the oil dipstick tube bracket. That nut should not be backed off.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER COMBUSTION PRESSURE LEAKAGE


The combustion pressure leakage test provides an accurate means for determining engine condition.
Combustion pressure leakage testing will detect:
• Exhaust and intake valve leaks (improper seating).
• Leaks between adjacent cylinders or into water jacket.
• Any causes for combustion/compression pressure loss.
1. Check the coolant level and fill as required. DO NOT install the radiator cap.
2. Start and operate the engine until it attains normal operating temperature, then turn the engine OFF.
3. Remove the spark plugs.
4. Remove the oil filler cap.
5. Remove the air cleaner hose.
6. Calibrate the tester according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The shop air source for testing should maintain
483 kPa (70 psi) minimum, 1,379 kPa (200 psi) maximum and 552 kPa (80 psi) recommended.
7. Perform the test procedures on each cylinder according to the tester manufacturer’s instructions. Set piston of
cylinder to be tested at TDC compression,While testing, listen for pressurized air escaping through the throttle
body, tailpipe and oil filler cap opening. Check for bubbles in the radiator coolant.
All gauge pressure indications should be equal, with no more than 25% leakage.
FOR EXAMPLE: At 552 kPa (80 psi) input pressure, a minimum of 414 kPa (60 psi) should be maintained in the
cylinder.

CYLINDER HEAD
OPERATION—CYLINDER HEAD
The cylinder head closes the combustion chamber allowing the pistons to compress the air fuel mixture to the cor-
rect ratio for ignition. The valves located in the cylinder head open and close to either allow clean air into the com-
bustion chamber or to allow the exhaust gases out, depending on the stroke of the engine.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER HEAD GASKET FAILURE


A cylinder head gasket leak can be located between adjacent cylinders or between a cylinder and the adjacent
water jacket.
• Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket leaking between adjacent cylinders are:
− Loss of engine power
− Engine misfiring
− Poor fuel economy
• Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket leaking between a cylinder and an adjacent water jacket are:
− Engine overheating
− Loss of coolant
− Excessive steam (white smoke) emitting from exhaust
− Coolant foaming

CYLINDER-TO-CYLINDER LEAKAGE TEST


To determine if an engine cylinder head gasket is leaking between adjacent cylinders, follow the procedures in Cyl-
inder Compression Pressure Test in this section. An engine cylinder head gasket leaking between adjacent cylinders
will result in approximately a 50–70% reduction in compression pressure.

CYLINDER-TO-WATER JACKET LEAKAGE TEST


WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING WITH COOLANT PRESSURE CAP
REMOVED.

VISUAL TEST METHOD

With the engine cool, remove the coolant pressure cap. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until thermostat
opens.
If a large combustion/compression pressure leak exists, bubbles will be visible in the coolant.

COOLING SYSTEM TESTER METHOD

WARNING: WITH COOLING SYSTEM TESTER IN PLACE, PRESSURE WILL BUILD UP FAST. EXCESSIVE
PRESSURE BUILT UP, BY CONTINUOUS ENGINE OPERATION, MUST BE RELEASED TO A SAFE PRESSURE
POINT. NEVER PERMIT PRESSURE TO EXCEED 138 kPa (20 psi).

Install Cooling System Tester 7700 or equivalent to pressure cap neck. Start the engine and observe the tester’s
pressure gauge. If gauge pulsates with every power stroke of a cylinder a combustion pressure leak is evident.

CHEMICAL TEST METHOD

Combustion leaks into the cooling system can also be checked by using Bloc-Chek Kit C-3685-A or equivalent.
Perform test following the procedures supplied with the tool kit.

VALVES & SEATS - INTAKE/EXHAUST


DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - VALVE GUIDES
The valve guides are made of powered metal and are pressed into the cylinder head. The guides are not replace-
able or serviceable, and valve guide reaming is not recommended. If the guides are worn beyond acceptable limits,
replace the cylinder heads.

DESCRIPTION - VALVES
Both the intake and exhaust valves are made of steel. The intake valve is 52.8 mm (2.08 inches) in diameter and
the exhaust valve is 40.5 mm (1.59 inches) in diameter. All valves use three bead lock keepers to retain the springs
and promote valve rotation.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFACING


NOTE: Valve seats that are worn or burned can be reworked, provided that correct angle and seat width are
maintained. Otherwise the cylinder head must be replaced.

NOTE: When refacing valves and valve seats, it is important that the correct size valve guide pilot be used
for reseating stones. A true and complete surface must be obtained.

1. Using a suitable dial indicator measure the center of the valve seat Total run out must not exceed 0.051 mm
(0.002 in).
2. Apply a small amount of Prussian blue to the valve seat, insert the valve into the cylinder head, while applying
light pressure on the valve rotate the valve. Remove the valve and examine the valve face. If the blue is trans-
ferred below the top edge of the valve face, lower the valve seat using a 15 degree stone. If the blue is trans-
ferred to the bottom edge of the valve face, raise the valve seat using a 65 degree stone.
3. When the seat is properly positioned the width of the intake seat must be 1.018 - 1.62 mm (0.0464 - 0.0637 in.)
and the exhaust seat must be 1.48 - 1.92 mm (0.058 - 0.075 in.).
4. Check the valve spring installed height after refacing the valve and seat. The installed height for both intake and
exhaust valve springs must not exceed 46.0 mm (1.81 in.).

ENGINE BLOCK
CLEANING
Thoroughly clean the oil pan and engine block gasket surfaces.
Use compressed air to clean out:
• The galley at the oil filter adaptor hole.
• The front and rear oil galley holes.
• The feed holes for the crankshaft main bearings.
Once the block has been completely cleaned, apply Loctite PST pipe sealant with Teflon 592 to the threads of the
front and rear oil galley plugs. Tighten the 1/4 inch NPT plugs to 20 N·m (177 in. lbs.) torque. Tighten the 3/8 inch
NPT plugs to 27 N·m (240 in. lbs.) torque.

INSPECTION
1. It is mandatory to use a dial bore gauge to mea-
sure each cylinder bore diameter. To correctly
select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore
gauge, capable of reading in 0.003 mm (.0001 in.)
INCREMENTS is required. If a bore gauge is not
available, do not use an inside micrometer.
2. Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder bore at
three levels below top of bore. Start perpendicular
(across or at 90 degrees) to the axis of the crank-
shaft and then take two additional reading.
3. Measure the cylinder bore diameter crosswise to
the cylinder block near the top of the bore. Repeat
the measurement near the middle of the bore, then
repeat the measurement near the bottom of the
bore.
4. Determine taper by subtracting the smaller diame-
ter from the larger diameter.
5. Rotate measuring device 90° and repeat steps
above.
6. Determine out-of-roundness by comparing the dif-
ference between each measurement.
7. If cylinder bore taper does not exceed 0.025 mm (0.001 inch) and out-of-roundness does not exceed 0.025 mm
(0.001 inch), the cylinder bore can be honed. If the cylinder bore taper or out- of-round condition exceeds these
maximum limits, the cylinder block must be replaced. A slight amount of taper always exists in the cylinder bore
after the engine has been in use for a period of time.

SEAL-CRANKSHAFT OIL-REAR
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR SEAL AREA LEAKS
Since it is sometimes difficult to determine the source of an oil leak in the rear seal area of the engine, a more
involved inspection is necessary. The following steps should be followed to help pinpoint the source of the leak.
If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil seal area:
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Raise the vehicle.
3. Remove torque converter or clutch housing cover and inspect rear of block for evidence of oil. Use a black light
to check for the oil leak:
a. Circular spray pattern generally indicates seal leakage or crankshaft damage.
b. Where leakage tends to run straight down, possible causes are a porous block, camshaft bore cup plugs, oil
galley pipe plugs, oil filter runoff, and main bearing cap to cylinder block mating surfaces. See Engine, for
proper repair procedures of these items.
4. If no leaks are detected, pressurized the crankcase as outlined in the section, Inspection (Engine oil Leaks in
general)

CAUTION: Do not exceed 20.6 kPa (3 psi).

5. If the leak is not detected, very slowly turn the crankshaft and watch for leakage. If a leak is detected between
the crankshaft and seal while slowly turning the crankshaft, it is possible the crankshaft seal surface is damaged.
The seal area on the crankshaft could have minor nicks or scratches that can be polished out with emery cloth.

CAUTION: Use extreme caution when crankshaft polishing is necessary to remove minor nicks or
scratches. The crankshaft seal flange is specially machined to complement the function of the rear oil seal.

6. For bubbles that remain steady with shaft rotation, no further inspection can be done until disassembled. (Refer
to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING), under the Oil Leak row, for components inspections on possible
causes and corrections.
7. After the oil leak root cause and appropriate corrective action have been identified, (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/EN-
GINE BLOCK/CRANKSHAFT OIL SEAL - REAR - REMOVAL).

REMOVAL

LX ENGINE - 6.1L SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 2549

TAPPETS-HYDRAULIC ROLLER
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HYDRAULIC TAPPETS
Before disassembling any part of the engine to correct tappet noise, check the oil pressure. If vehicle has no oil
pressure gauge, install a reliable gauge at the pressure sending-unit. The pressure should be between 207-552 kPa
(30-70 psi) at 3,000 RPM.
Check the oil level after the engine reaches normal operating temperature. Allow 5 minutes to stabilize oil level,
check dipstick. The oil level in the pan should never be above the FULL mark or below the ADD OIL mark on
dipstick. Either of these two conditions could be responsible for noisy tappets.

OIL LEVEL
HIGH

If oil level is above the FULL mark, it is possible for the connecting rods to dip into the oil. With the engine running,
this condition could create foam in the oil pan. Foam in oil pan would be fed to the hydraulic tappets by the oil pump
causing them to lose length and allow valves to seat noisily.

LOW

Low oil level may allow oil pump to take in air. When air is fed to the tappets, they lose length, which allows valves
to seat noisily. Any leaks on intake side of oil pump through which air can be drawn will create the same tappet
action. Check the lubrication system from the intake strainer to the pump cover, including the relief valve retainer
cap. When tappet noise is due to aeration, it may be intermittent or constant, and usually more than one tappet will
be noisy. When oil level and leaks have been corrected, operate the engine at fast idle. Run engine for a sufficient
time to allow all of the air inside the tappets to be bled out.

TAPPET NOISE DIAGNOSIS


1. To determine source of tappet noise, crank over engine with cylinder head covers removed.
2. Feel each valve spring or rocker arm to detect noisy tappet. The noisy tappet will cause the affected spring
and/or rocker arm to vibrate or feel rough in operation.

NOTE: Worn valve guides or cocked springs are sometimes mistaken for noisy tappets. If such is the case,
noise may be dampened by applying side thrust on the valve spring. If noise is not appreciably reduced, it
can be assumed the noise is in the tappet. Inspect the rocker arm push rod sockets and push rod ends for
wear.

3. Valve tappet noise ranges from light noise to a heavy click. A light noise is usually caused by excessive leak-
down around the unit plunger, or by the plunger partially sticking in the tappet body cylinder. The tappet should
be replaced. A heavy click is caused by a tappet check valve not seating, or by foreign particles wedged between
the plunger and the tappet body. This will cause the plunger to stick in the down position. This heavy click will be
accompanied by excessive clearance between the valve stem and rocker arm as valve closes. In either case,
tappet assembly should be removed for inspection and cleaning.
4. The valve train generates a noise very much like a light tappet noise during normal operation. Care must be
taken to ensure that tappets are making the noise. If more than one tappet seems to be noisy, it’s probably not
the tappets.

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
2. Remove the air cleaner (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/AIR INTAKE SYSTEM - REMOVAL).
3. Remove intake manifold (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/MANIFOLDS/INTAKE MANIFOLD - REMOVAL).
4. Remove cylinder head cover (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD COVER(S) -

PISTON & CONNECTING ROD


DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Do not use a metal stamp to mark connecting rods as damage may result, instead use ink or a
scratch awl.

The pistons are made of a high strength aluminum alloy. Piston skirts are coated with a solid lubricant (Molykote) to
reduce friction and provide scuff resistance. The piston top ring groove and land is anodized. The connecting rods
are made of forged powdered metal, with a “fractured cap” design. A floating piston pin is used to attach the piston
and connecting rod.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - PISTON FITTING


1. To correctly select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge, capable of reading in 0.003 mm ( .0001 in.)
INCREMENTS is required. If a bore gauge is not available, do not use an inside micrometer.
2. Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder bore at a point 38.0 mm (1.5 inches) below top of bore. Start per-
pendicular (across or at 90 degrees) to the axis of the crankshaft at point A and then take an additional bore
reading 90 degrees to that at point B.

NOTE: Always install new retaining clips for the piston pin. Never reuse the old clips.

NOTE: Use care not to distort the clip while installing.

3. Once assembled, the piston-rod assembly is specific for the left cylinder bank ( odd numbered) and the right
cylinder bank ( even numbered) and must not be interchanged.
LX ENGINE - 6.1L SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 2553

4. The coating material is applied to the piston after


the final piston machining process. Measuring the
outside diameter of a coated piston will not provide
accurate results. Therefore measuring the inside
diameter of the cylinder bore with a dial Bore
Gauge is MANDATORY. To correctly select the
proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge capable
of reading in 0.003 mm (.0001 in.) increments is
required.
5. Piston installation into the cylinder bore requires
slightly more pressure than that required for non-
coated pistons. The bonded coating on the piston
will give the appearance of a line-to-line fit with the
cylinder bore.

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect negative cable from battery.
2. Remove the following components:
• Oil pan and gasket/windage tray (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL PAN - REMOVAL).
• Cylinder head covers (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD COVER(S) - REMOVAL) and
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
• Timing chain cover (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT / CHAIN COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
• Cylinder head(s) (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD - REMOVAL) and (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER
HEAD - REMOVAL).
3. If necessary, remove top ridge of cylinder bores with a reliable ridge reamer before removing pistons from cyl-
inder block. Be sure to keep tops of pistons covered during this operation. Pistons and connecting rods
must be removed from top of cylinder block. When removing piston and connecting rod assemblies from the
engine, rotate crankshaft so the each connecting rod is centered in cylinder bore.

CAUTION: DO NOT use a number stamp or a punch to mark connecting rods or caps, as damage to con-
necting rods could occur

NOTE: Connecting rods and bearing caps are not


interchangeable and should be marked before
removing to ensure correct reassembly.

4. Mark connecting rod and bearing cap positions


using a permanent ink marker or scribe tool.

CAUTION: Care must be taken not to damage the


fractured rod and cap joint face surfaces, as
engine damage may occur.
9 - 2554 ENGINE - 6.1L SERVICE INFORMATION LX

5. Remove connecting rod cap. Install Special Tool 8507 Connecting Rod Guides into the connecting rod being
removed. Remove piston from cylinder bore. Repeat this procedure for each piston being removed.

CAUTION: Care must be taken not to nick crankshaft journals, as engine damage may occur

CAUTION: When removing and installing the piston and connecting rod assembly, Do not damage the pis-
ton cooling jets. If the jets are bent, engine damage may occur.

6. Immediately after piston and connecting rod removal, install bearing cap on the mating connecting rod to prevent
damage to the fractured cap and rod surfaces.
7. Carefully remove piston rings from piston(s), starting from the top ring down.

CLEANING
CAUTION: DO NOT use a wire wheel or other abrasive cleaning devise to clean the pistons or connecting
rods. The pistons have a Moly coating, this coating must not be damaged.

1. Using a suitable cleaning solvent clean the pistons in warm water and towel dry.
2. Use a wood or plastic scraper to clean the ring land grooves.

INSPECTION
Check the connecting rod journal for excessive wear, taper and scoring (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/
CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
Check the connecting rod for signs of twist or bending.
Use the proper tool when removing the piston clip. If the clip is pried out, a burr may form on the groove that will
inhibit pin removal and installation.
LX ENGINE - 6.1L SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 2555

Check the piston for taper and elliptical shape before it is fitted into the cylinder bore (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE
BLOCK/PISTON & CONNECTING ROD - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
Check the piston for scoring, or scraping marks in the piston skirts. Check the ring lands for cracks and/or deteri-
oration.

INSTALLATION
1. Before installing piston and connecting rod assemblies into the bore, install the piston rings (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/PISTON RINGS - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
2. Immerse the piston head and rings in clean engine oil. Position a ring compressor over the piston and rings.

LUBRICATION
DESCRIPTION

The lubrication system is a full flow filtration pressure feed type.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING


DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHECKING ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
1. Remove oil pressure sending unit and install gauge assembly C-3292.
2. Run engine until thermostat opens.
3. Oil Pressure:
• Curb Idle–25 kPa (4 psi) minimum
• 3000 rpm–170 - 758 kPa (25 - 110 psi)
4. If oil pressure is 0 at idle, shut off engine. Check for a clogged oil pick-up screen or a pressure relief valve stuck
open.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ENGINE OIL LEAK


Begin with a thorough visual inspection of the engine, particularly at the area of the suspected leak. If an oil leak
source is not readily identifiable, the following steps should be followed:
LX ENGINE - 6.1L SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 2573

1. Do not clean or degrease the engine at this time because some solvents may cause rubber to swell, temporarily
stopping the leak.
2. Add an oil soluble dye (use as recommended by manufacturer). Start the engine and let idle for approximately 15
minutes. Check the oil dipstick to make sure the dye is thoroughly mixed as indicated with a bright yellow color
under a black light.
3. Using a black light, inspect the entire engine for fluorescent dye, particularly at the suspected area of oil leak. If
the oil leak is found and identified, repair per service manual instructions.
4. If dye is not observed, drive the vehicle at various speeds for approximately 24 km (15 miles), and repeat inspec-
tion.If the oil leak source is not positively identified at this time, proceed with the air leak detection test
method.

Air Leak Detection Test Method


1. Remove the PCV valve from the IAFM. Cap or plug the PCV valve grommet.
2. Attach an air hose with pressure gauge and regulator to the dipstick tube.

CAUTION: Do not subject the engine assembly to more than 20.6 kPa (3 PSI) of test pressure.

3. Gradually apply air pressure from 1 psi to 2.5 psi maximum while applying soapy water at the suspected source.
Adjust the regulator to the suitable test pressure that provide the best bubbles which will pinpoint the leak
source. If the oil leak is detected and identified, repair per service manual procedures.
4. If the leakage occurs at the rear oil seal area, refer to the section, Inspection for Rear Seal Area Leak.
5. If no leaks are detected, turn off the air supply and remove the air hose and all plugs and caps. Install the PCV
valve.
6. Clean the oil off the suspect oil leak area using a suitable solvent. Drive the vehicle at various speeds approx-
imately 24 km (15 miles). Inspect the engine for signs of an oil leak by using a black light.

INSPECTION FOR REAR SEAL AREA LEAKS


Since it is sometimes difficult to determine the source of an oil leak in the rear seal area of the engine, a more
involved inspection is necessary. The following steps should be followed to help pinpoint the source of the leak.
If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil seal area:
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Raise the vehicle.
3. Remove torque converter or clutch housing cover and inspect rear of block for evidence of oil. Use a black light
to check for the oil leak:
a. Circular spray pattern generally indicates seal leakage or crankshaft damage.
b. Where leakage tends to run straight down, possible causes are a porous block, distributor seal, camshaft
bore cup plugs oil galley pipe plugs, oil filter runoff, and main bearing cap to cylinder block mating surfaces.
4. If no leaks are detected, pressurize the crankcase as outlined in the, Inspection (Engine oil Leaks in general)

CAUTION: Do not exceed 20.6 kPa (3 psi).

5. If the leak is not detected, very slowly turn the crankshaft and watch for leakage. If a leak is detected between
the crankshaft and seal while slowly turning the crankshaft, it is possible the crankshaft seal surface is damaged.
The seal area on the crankshaft could have minor nicks or scratches that can be polished out with emery cloth.

CAUTION: Use extreme caution when crankshaft polishing is necessary to remove minor nicks and
scratches. The crankshaft seal flange is especially machined to complement the function of the rear oil seal.

6. For bubbles that remain steady with shaft rotation, no further inspection can be done until disassembled.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
FORM-IN-PLACE GASKETS AND SEALERS
There are numerous places where form-in-place gaskets are used on the engine. Care must be taken when apply-
ing form-in-place gaskets to assure obtaining the desired results. Do not use form-in-place gasket material
unless specified. Bead size, continuity, and location are of great importance. Too thin a bead can result in leakage
while too much can result in spill-over which can break off and obstruct fluid feed lines. A continuous bead of the
proper width is essential to obtain a leak-free gasket.
There are numerous types of form-in-place gasket materials that are used in the engine area. MoparT Engine RTV
GEN II, MoparT ATF-RTV, and MoparT Gasket Maker gasket materials, each have different properties and can not
be used in place of the other.
MOPART ENGINE RTV GEN II
MoparT Engine RTV GEN II is used to seal components exposed to engine oil. This material is a specially designed
black silicone rubber RTV that retains adhesion and sealing properties when exposed to engine oil. Moisture in the
LX ENGINE - 3.0L TD SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 2611

air causes the material to cure. This material is available in three ounce tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After
one year this material will not properly cure. Always inspect the package for the expiration date before use.
MOPART ATF RTV
MoparT ATF RTV is a specifically designed black silicone rubber RTV that retains adhesion and sealing properties
to seal components exposed to automatic transmission fluid, engine coolants, and moisture. This material is avail-
able in three ounce tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one year this material will not properly cure. Always
inspect the package for the expiration date before use.
MOPART GASKET MAKER
MoparT Gasket Maker is an anaerobic type gasket material. The material cures in the absence of air when
squeezed between two metallic surfaces. It will not cure if left in the uncovered tube. The anaerobic material is for
use between two machined surfaces. Do not use on flexible metal flanges.
MOPART GASKET SEALANT
MoparT Gasket Sealant is a slow drying, permanently soft sealer. This material is recommended for sealing
threaded fittings and gaskets against leakage of oil and coolant. Can be used on threaded and machined parts
under all temperatures. This material is used on engines with multi-layer steel (MLS) cylinder head gaskets. This
material also will prevent corrosion. MoparT Gasket Sealant is available in a 13 oz. aerosol can or 4oz./16 oz. can
w/applicator.

FORM-IN-PLACE GASKET AND SEALER APPLICATION


Assembling parts using a form-in-place gasket requires care but it’s easier than using precut gaskets.
MoparT Gasket Maker material should be applied sparingly 1 mm (0.040 in.) diameter or less of sealant to one
gasket surface. Be certain the material surrounds each mounting hole. Excess material can easily be wiped off.
Components should be torqued in place within 15 minutes. The use of a locating dowel is recommended during
assembly to prevent smearing material off the location.
MoparT Engine RTV GEN II or ATF RTV gasket material should be applied in a continuous bead approximately 3
mm (0.120 in.) in diameter. All mounting holes must be circled. For corner sealing, a 3.17 or 6.35 mm (1/8 or 1/4 in.)
drop is placed in the center of the gasket contact area. Uncured sealant may be removed with a shop towel. Com-
ponents should be torqued in place while the sealant is still wet to the touch (within 10 minutes). The usage of a
locating dowel is recommended during assembly to prevent smearing material off the location.
MoparT Gasket Sealant in an aerosol can should be applied using a thin, even coat sprayed completely over both
surfaces to be joined, and both sides of a gasket. Then proceed with assembly. Material in a can w/applicator can
be brushed on evenly over the sealing surfaces. Material in an aerosol can should be used on engines with multi-
layer steel gaskets.

REPAIR DAMAGED OR WORN THREADS


CAUTION: Be sure that the tapped holes maintain the original center line.

Damaged or worn threads can be repaired. Essentially, this repair consists of:
• Drilling out worn or damaged threads.
• Tapping the hole with a special Heli-Coil Tap, or equivalent.
• Installing an insert into the tapped hole to bring the hole back to its original thread size.

HYDROSTATIC LOCK
CAUTION: DO NOT use the starter motor to rotate the crankshaft. Severe damage could occur.

When an engine is suspected of hydrostatic lock (regardless of what caused the problem), follow the steps below.
1. Disconnect the negative cable(s) from the battery.
2. Inspect air cleaner, induction system, and intake manifold to ensure system is dry and clear of foreign material.
3. Place a shop towel around the fuel injectors to catch any fluid that may possibly be under pressure in the cyl-
inder head. Remove the fuel injectors (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL INJECTION/FUEL INJECTOR -
REMOVAL).
9 - 2612 ENGINE - 3.0L TD SERVICE INFORMATION LX

CAMSHAFT(S)
DESCRIPTION
The camshafts are made of gray cast iron with three bearing journals. Each camshaft has a pressed gear with
alignment mark that is used during base engine timing procedures. The camshafts are retained in place by not only
the front and rear hold downs mounted to the cylinder head, but the cylinder head cover has journals as well. This
design aids in lubrication and also has acoustic advantages. The camshafts are chain driven by a drive gear
mounted to the intake camshaft on the right cylinder head, and a drive gear mounted to the exhaust camshaft on
the left cylinder head. With four valves per cylinder, there is a camshaft for each cylinder bank that drives two intake
and two exhaust valves. The camshafts accomplish this by way of tappets and finger followers that operate the
valves.

OPERATION
When the camshaft rotates the lobes actuate the hydraulic tappets and finger followers. Forcing downward on the
finger followers opens the valves.

ROCKER ARMS
DESCRIPTION
The rocker arms (1) are located on the top of the
hydraulic lifters (2) and the valves. The rocker arms
are not held rigidly into position; instead they are held
in position by resting on top of the valve and the
hydraulic lifter pivoting ball. A holding clip (3) secures
the rocker arm to the hydraulic lifter.

OPERATION
The rocker arms are used as a link between the camshaft and valves. As the camshaft rotates, the lobes of the
camshafts apply downward pressure on the rocker arms. This pressure is then transmitted to the valves which
causes the valves to open.

REMOVAL
1. Remove the appropriate camshafts. (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CAMSHAFT(S) - LEFT
- REMOVAL) or (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER
HEAD/CAMSHAFT(S) - RIGHT - REMOVAL).

ENGINE BLOCK
DESCRIPTION

The 3.0L engine utilizes a cast aluminum cylinder block (2) molded around cast iron piston sleeves (1). The cylinder
angle is 72 degrees with cylinder spacing at 106 mm (4.173 in.). The cylinder block (2) has increased rigidity that
reduces structural flexing, plus a fractured connecting rod cap design that can not distort connecting rod cap fit. The
liner (1) surface is honed to a cross hatch angle between 40°-60°.
There is a stamped cylinder liner grading identification number located on the left front of the engine block, below
the high pressure pump location. This identification mark (A, X, or B) is used for piston selection. For example, an
“X” cylinder liner can use an “A”, “X” or “B” piston. An “A” cylinder liner can only use an “A” or an “X” piston, and
a “B” cylinder liner can only use a “X” or a “B” cylinder liner.
LX ENGINE - 3.0L TD SERVICE INFORMATION 9 - 2715

Cylinders are numbered front to back, beginning with the right bank. The right bank cylinders are numbered 1, 2, 3.
The left bank cylinders 4, 5, 6. The injection order of the engine is 1–4–2–5–3–6.

CRANKSHAFT
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft (1) for the 3.0L is a forged steel type
design with four main bearing journals. The third
crankshaft support controls crankshaft thrust. The
bearing identification for the upper crankshaft main
journals is etched into the engine block below the high
pressure pump and the proper lower bearing selection
can be found etched in the front of the crankshaft.

OPERATION
The crankshaft transfers force generated by combustion within the cylinder bores to the flexibility. The crankshaft
has six separate throws arranged at different angles (splayed) to reduce second order free movements of inertia.
Following the injection order 1-4-2-5-3-6, the crankshaft throw angles alternate between 48° and 192°.
In the injection order, together with the splayed throws and the 72° V-block, produce injection intervals of 120° (even
fire). After ignition TDC of cylinder number 1, the crankshaft turns 120° to reach TDC of cylinder number 4. The
120° angle (even fire) is the result of the 48° throw angle plus the 72° cylinder block angle.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
MEASURE CRANKSHAFT AND BLOCK JOURNALS
NOTE: After any bearing damage occurred, remove all debris which is present in the main oil gallery, con-
necting rod bores, and in the crankshaft and oil galleries. Include removal of the inserting steel ball of the
main oil gallery before cleaning.

VACUUM PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The vacuum pump is a constant displacement, vane-
type pump. Vacuum is generated by vanes mounted in
the pump rotor. The rotor is located in the pump hous-
ing and is pressed onto the pump shaft.
The vacuum pump operates by a slotted extension
attached to the vacuum pump shaft. The vacuum
pump shaft slotted extension fits into, and is driven by,
the exhaust camshaft gear.
The vacuum pump rotating components are internally
lubricated and the vacuum pump has no serviceable
parts. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the
pump.

OPERATION
Vacuum pump output is transmitted to the Heater,
Electronic, Vacuum, Air Conditioner (HEVAC) and
brake vacuum booster, systems through a supply
hose. The hose is connected to an outlet port on the
pump housing and uses an in-line check valve to
retain system vacuum when vehicle is not running.
Pump output ranges from a minimum of 8.5 to 25
inches vacuum.
The pump rotor and vanes are rotated by the slotted
pump drive gear which fits into the camshaft drive
gear.

LUBRICATION
DESCRIPTION
An efficient and acoustically optimized chain drive external gear pump is used for supply.
Oil is circulated through a high volume primary oil filter on the engine to one of the oil/water coolers in the “V” of the
engine. The oil cooler maintains a maximum oil temperature of 140° C (284°F).
After the oil cooler, the oil is directed into the balance shaft tunnel that at the same time is the primary oil duct of
the crankcase. Short passages lead to the crankshaft main bearings. The inlet pressurized piston oil injectors are
located directly on the main oil channel and are supplied there.
Front mounted passages supply the cylinder heads. The hydraulically loaded chain tensioner is supplied via the
right cylinder head in the direction of travel.
The oil supply and return of the turbo charger is integrated in the cast steel turbo charger carrier.
