- inspect timing chain sprockets. Inspect guide rail and ten-
sioner rail for damage. Replace any part that is worn
or dam-
aged.

4 The procedure outlined below assumes that the camshafts
are locked in the TDC installation position with special lock-
ing tools as shown earlier.
4 lnspect timing chain sprocltets and chain. Inspect guide rail
and tensioner rail
(arrows) for grooves caused by chain con-
tact. Replace any part that is worn or damaged.
NOTE-
If any sprocl(ets are being replaced due to wear, the chain
should also be replaced.
If the crankshaft sprocket requires
replacement, the oil pump
drive sprocket and chain must be
removed. See
119 Lubrication System for oilpump removal
information.
- If removed, reinstall timing chain tensioning rail, reversing
rail, and guide rail.
If tensioning rail was removed, replace O-ring at tensioning
rail oil guide.

lnstall timing chain and intake sprocket to intake camshaft on
right cylinder head. While pressing in on chain tensioner rail,
confirm camshaft flange bores (arrows) are centered in
sprocket mounting slots.
NOTE-
Pressing in on rail will remove slack and reposition sprockets.
If
necessarx remove sproclets and align bores centrally.
lnstall intake camshaft sensor gear with notch upward (ar-
row) at right cylinder head.
- Finger tighten mounting screws.
- lnstall remaining sprocket bolts to intake camshaft finger tight
at left cylinder head.
- Press timing chain tensioning rail against timing chain. lnstall
plastic wire
tie, to hold rail against chain.
- lnstall lower timing chain cover:
Clean sealing surfaces and check sleeves are properly
seated.
Apply a thin coat of Three Bond 1209

Engine lubrication
Oil pressure is generated by a gear-type pump bolted to the
bottom oi the engine block. The oil pump is chain driven off
the front of the crankshaft.
Table a. Engine oil capacity (includes oil filter replacement)
6-cylinder 6.5
liters (6.9
US qt)
V-8 7.5 liters (7.9 US qt)
The oil pressure warning system consists of an oil pressure
switch mounted in the oil circuit and an instrument
panel
warning light. Other saiety features include:
Q A filter bypass to provide lubrication should the oil filter be-
come clogged.
An oil pump pressure relief valve to prevent excessive sys-
tem pressure.
CAUTIOI\C
If the red oil pressure warning light comes on or flashes on
while driving, always assume that the oilpressure is low. Stop
the engine immediately and make arrangements to test oil
pressure.
