Engine Structure (03.01)
Issue 4, November 2008Workshop Manual 3-1-3
Knock Sensors
Two knock sensors (1) are installed into the cylinder block on the inboard side of each of the two cylinder banks. The
electrical connector of each sensor is secured to th e left-hand engine cover bracket (Refer to Figure 4).
These piezo-electric sensors send inputs to the ECM to indicate the detection and location of detonation during
combustion.
Bedplate
This is a structural casting that is attached with bolts to the bottom
of the cylinder block t attach the crankshaft and to further
improve overall rigidity.
Main bearing clearance changes due to expansion are minimized
by means of iron inserts cast into the bedplate main bearing
supports.
Two hollow dowels align the bedplate with the cylinder block and
the joint is sealed by a continuous bead of sealant.

Engine Mountings
The engine is mounted at two points. At the front, on ea ch side of the engine, there is a mounting bracket with a
Hydramount mounted to the subframe.
