CRANKSHAFT SERVICE
CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARINGS
Bearing caps are not interchangeable and should
be marked at removal to insure correct assembly.
Upper and lower bearing halves are NOT inter-
changeable. Lower main bearing halves of 1, 2, 4 and
5 are interchangeable. Upper main bearing halves of
1, 2, 4 and 5 are interchangeable (Fig. 7).
CRANKSHAFT MAIN JOURNALS
The crankshaft journals should be checked for ex-
cessive wear, taper and scoring. Limits of taper or
out-of-round on any crankshaft journals should be
held to .025mm (.001 inch). Journal grinding should
not exceed .305mm (.012 inch) under the standard
journal diameter. Do NOT grind thrust faces of Num-
ber 3 main bearing. Do NOT nick crank pin or bear-
ing fillets. After grinding, remove rough edges from
crankshaft oil holes and clean out all passages.
CAUTION: With the nodular cast iron crankshafts
used it is important that the final paper or cloth pol-
ish after any journal regrind be in the same direc-
tion as normal rotation in the engine.
Upper and lower Number 3 bearing halves are
flanged to carry the crankshaft thrust loads and are
NOT interchangeable with any other bearing halves
in the engine (Fig. 7). All bearing cap bolts removed
during service procedures are to be cleaned and oiled
before installation. Bearing shells are available in
standard and the following undersized: 0.025mm
(.001 inch), .051mm (.002 inch), .076mm (.003 inch),
.254mm (.010 inch), and .305mm (.012 inch). Never
install an undersize bearing that will reduce clear-
ance below specifications.
MAIN BEARING SERVICEÐCRANKSHAFT NOT REMOVED
REMOVAL
(1) Remove oil pan and identify bearing caps before
removal. (2) Remove bearing caps one at a time. Remove
upper half of bearing by inserting Special Main Bear-
ing Tool C-3059 (Fig. 8) into the oil hole of crankshaft. (3) Slowly rotate crankshaft clockwise, forcing out
upper half of bearing shell.
INSTALLATION Only one main bearing should be selectively
fitted while all other main bearing caps are prop-
erly tightened. When installing a new upper bearing shell, slightly
chamfer the sharp edges from the plain side. (1) Start bearing in place, and insert Main Bearing
Tool C-3059 into oil hole of crankshaft (Fig. 8). (2) Slowly rotate crankshaft counter-clockwise slid-
ing the bearing into position. Remove Special Main
Bearing Tool C-3059.

cation groove in the cylinder block (Fig. 12). The 1, 2, 4 and 5 main bearings are full groove to pro-
vide full time oiling to the connecting rod. Only
the number 3 is half-groove.
(3) Make certain oil holes in block line up with oil
hole in bearings and bearing tabs seat in the block tab
slots. (4) Oil the bearings and journals and install crank-
shaft. (5) Install main bearing cap No. 1 on timing belt
end. (6) Install main bearing cap No. 5 on transmission
end. Since the main bearing bolts are torqued using
a new procedure they should be examined BE-
FORE reuse. If the threads are necked down the

Necking can be checked by holding a scale or straight
edge against the threads or by running a M11 x 1.50
nut the full length of the thread. If all the threads
do not contact the scale or if the nut does not run
down smoothly the bolt should be replaced. (7) Before installing the bolts the threads should be
oiled with engine oil. (8) Install both bolts in each cap finger tight, then
alternately torque each bolt to assemble the cap prop-
erly. (9) Tighten the bolts to 41 N Im plus 1/4 turn (30
ft.lbs. plus 1/4 turn). (Fig. 14)
BALANCE SHAFTS
2.2L Turbo III and 2.5L engines are equipped with
two counter rotating balance shafts installed in a
carrier attached to the lower crankcase (Fig. 1). The shafts are interconnected through gears. These
gears are driven by a short chain from the crank-
shaft, to rotate at two times crankshaft speed. This
counterbalances certain engine reciprocating forces.
REMOVAL
Refer to Engine Lubrication and Timing System
and Seals Service of this group for removal procedure
of necessary components to repair balance shafts.
(1) Remove chain cover, guide and tensioner (Fig.
16). Also see Carrier Assembly Removal for service

CYLINDER BLOCK CLEANING AND INSPECTION
(1) Clean cylinder block thoroughly and check all
core hole plugs for evidence of leaking. (2) If new core plugs are installed, Refer to Engine
Core Oil and Cam Plugs. (3) Examine block and cylinder bores for cracks or
fractures.
CYLINDER BORE INSPECTION
The cylinder walls should be checked for out-of-
round and taper with Tool C-119 (Fig. 5). The cylin-
der bore out-of-round is 0.050 mm (.002 inch)
maximum and cylinder bore taper is .125 mm (.005
inch) maximum. If the cylinder walls are badly
scuffed or scored, the cylinder block should be re-
bored and honed, and new pistons and rings fitted.
Whatever type of boring equipment is used, boring
and honing operation should be closely coordinated
with the fitting of pistons and rings in order that
specified clearances may be maintained. Refer to Honing Cylinder Bores outlined in the Standard
Service Procedures for specification and proce-
dures.
Measure the cylinder bore at three levels in direc-
tions A and B (Fig. 5). Top measurement should be
10mm ( 3/8 inch) down and bottom measurement
should be 10mm ( 3/8 inch.) up from bottom of bore.
Refer to (Fig. 6) for specifications.
SIZING PISTONS
Piston and cylinder wall must be clean and dry.
Piston diameter should be measured 90 degrees to
piston pin at size location shown in (Fig. 7). Cylinder
bores should be measured halfway down the cylinder
bore and transverse to the engine crankshaft center
line shown in (Fig. 5). Refer to (Fig. 6) for specifica-

OIL PAN
A formed steel oil pan provides lower engine pro-
tection as well as serving as the engine oil reservoir
(Fig. 1). Pan side flanges to block are sealed with
gaskets. The oil pickup tube for some 2.2L engines
have a circular strainer and cover. The 2.5L engine
pickup is also unsupported and the lower end has a
box type strainer (Fig. 4).
PRESSURE LUBRICATION
Oil drawn up through the pickup tube is pressur-
ized by the pump and routed through the full flow
filter to the main oil gallery running the length of
the cylinder block (Fig. 2). Modified oil pickup, pump
and check valve provide increased oil flow to the
main oil gallery.
MAIN/ROD BEARINGS
A diagonal hole in each bulkhead feeds oil to each
main bearing. Drilled passages within the crankshaft
route oil from main bearing journals to crankpin
journals.
ACCESSORY SHAFT
Two separate holes supply the accessory shaft for
the N/A engines. For Turbo III engines there is a slot
in the rear shaft bushing that squirts oil onto the
oil pump drive gears (Fig. 2).
BALANCE SHAFTS
The engine balance shafts are lubricated by an ad-
ditional hole that interconnects a passage in one leg
of the balance shaft carrier to route oil down to the
carrier oil gallery. This gallery directly supplies the
balance shafts front bearings and internal machined
passages in the shafts routes oil from front to rear
shaft bearing journals.
TURBOCHARGER (WHERE EQUIPPED)
If turbocharger equipped, pressurized oil from the
main gallery to sending unit hex fitting is piped from
the fitting to the turbocharger bearing housing.
From the housing a hose and tube connection to a
machined hole in the block provides drainback.
CAMSHAFT/HYDRAULIC LIFTERS
A vertical hole at the number five bulkhead routes
pressurized oil through a restrictor up past a cylinder
head bolt to an oil gallery running the length of the
cylinder head. For 2.2/2.5L and 2.5L FFV engines
hydraulic adjusters are supplied directly from this
gallery while diagonal holes supply oil to the cam-
shaft journals. The camshaft journals are partially
slotted to allow a predetermined amount of pressur-
ized oil to pass into the bearing cap cavities with
small holes directed to spray lubricate the camshaft
lobes. For Turbo III engines oil is supplied thru oil
galleries in the head to the camshafts and rocker arm shafts which feed oil to the lash adjusters. Oil is
feed thru the rocker arms to lubricate the rollers and
the camshaft lobes.
SPLASH LUBRICATION
Oil returning to the pan from pressurized compo-
nents supplies lubrication to the valve stems. Cylinder
bores and wrist pins are splash lubricated from di-
rected holes in the connecting rods.
OIL PAN
REMOVAL
(1) Drain engine oil and remove oil pan.
(2) Clean oil pan and all gasket surfaces.
OIL PAN RAIL TO BLOCK SEALING
For all engines side gaskets (Fig. 1) are employed for
rail sealing.
INSTALLATION
(1) Apply Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant
or equivalent at the front seal retainer parting line
(Fig. 3). (2) Install the oil pan side gaskets to the block. Use
heavy grease or Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhesive Seal-
ant or equivalent to hold in place. (3) Apply Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant
or equivalent to ends of new oil pan end seals at
