oil filter CHEVROLET DYNASTY 1993 Owner's Manual

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
junction of cylinder block pan rail gasket (Fig. 3). (4) Install pan and tighten to (12) M8 screws to 23
N Im (200 in. lbs.) and 1 M6 screws to 12 N Im (105 in.
lbs.).

GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER OR CODE
The engine identification number is located on the
rear of the cylinder block just below the cylinder
head (Fig. 1). BLOCK: The cylinder block is a light weight de-
sign created by reducing thickness in many parts
and a short 10 mm (3/8 inch) block skirt. High rigid-
ity is provided with ribs cast in the outer wall, a full
length water jacket, and a monoblock or beam type, main bearing cap. This single unit four bearing cap
is designed to control vibration of the cylinder block
partition walls.
CRANKSHAFT: A six throw, five weight crank-
shaft is supported by four main bearings with num-
ber three being the thrust bearing. The six separate
connecting rod throws pins reduce torque fluctua-
tions while a torsional vibration damper is used to
control torsion caused vibration of the crankshaft.
Rubber lipped seals are used at front and rear. The
front seal is retained in the oil pump case and the
rear is retained in a block-mounted housing.

(clearance between piston O.D. and cylinder) minus
0.02 mm which is the boring margin. (3) Bore all cylinders to calculated boring finish di-
mension. Then bore the final finish dimension (piston
O.D. plus cylinder clearance). (4) Check clearance between piston and cylinder,
clearance should be 0.03 to 0.05 mm (.0012 to .002
inch).
ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The lubrication system is a full flow filtration pres-
sure feed type. Oil, stored in the oil pan, is taken in
and discharged by a internal gear type oil pump di-
rectly coupled to the crankshaft and its pressure is
regulated by a relief valve. The oil is fed through an
oil filter and to the crankshaft journals from the oil gallery in the cylinder block. This gallery also feeds
oil under pressure to the cylinder heads. It then
flows from a camshaft bearing cap on each cylinder
head through passages in the rocker shafts to the
rocker arm pivots, auto lash adjusters, and camshaft
journals (Fig. 1).

GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER OR CODE
The engine identification number is located on the
rear of the cylinder block just below the cylinder
head (Fig. 2). ENGINE: The 3.3L (201 Cubic. Inches.) and 3.8L
(231 Cubic. Inches.) displacement engines are 60É V
type six cylinder power plant with cast iron cylinder
block and aluminum cylinder heads (Fig. 1). Firing
order for these engines is 1-2-3-4-5-6. High turbu-
lence cylinder heads allow a 8.9-1 compression ratio. CRANKSHAFT: The nodular iron crankshaft is
supported by four main bearings, with number two being the thrust bearing. Crankshaft end sealing is
provided by front and rear rubber seal. PISTONS: The pistons are cast aluminum alloy.
Three rings are used. Piston pins, press fitted into
place, join the pistons to forged steel connecting rods. CAMSHAFT: The nodular iron camshaft is
mounted in four steel backed babbitt bearings. A
thrust plate located in front of the first bearing, and
bolted to the block, controls end play. Silent timing
chain drives the camshaft. This chain is enclosed by
a cast aluminum cover which also carries a front
crankshaft seal, provides front oil pan closure, water
pump mounting.

ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The lubrication system is a full flow filtration pres-
sure feed type. Oil from the oil pan is pumped by a
internal gear type oil pump directly coupled to the
crankshaft. Its pressure is regulated by a relief valve
located in the Chain Case Cover. The oil is pumped
through an oil filter and feeds a main oil galley.This
oil gallery feeds oil under pressure to the main and
rod bearings, camshaft bearings. Passages in the cyl-
inder block feed oil to the hydraulic lifters and
rocker shaft brackets which feeds the rocker arm piv-
ots (Fig. 1).

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
(1) Clean oil pan in solvent and wipe dry with a
clean cloth. Clean all gasket material from mounting
surfaces of pan and block. (2) Inspect oil drain plug and plug hole for stripped

a new drain plug gasket. Tighten to 27 N Im (20 ft.
lb.). (3) Inspect oil pan mounting flange for bends or
distortion. Straighten flange if necessary. (4) Clean oil screen and pipe in clean solvent. In-
spect condition of screen.
INSTALLATION

CHECKING ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
Check oil pressure using gauge at oil pressure
switch location. Oil pressure should be 34.47 kPa ( 5
psi.) at idle or 205 to 551 kPa (30 to 80 psi.) at 3000
RPM. (1) Remove pressure sending unit and install oil
pressure gauge (Fig. 13).
CAUTION: If oil pressure is 0 at idle, Do Not Run
engine at 3000 RPM .
(2) Warm engine at high idle until thermostat
opens.
OIL FILTER
CAUTION: When servicing the oil filter (Fig. 16)
avoid deforming the filter can by installing the re-
move/install tool band strap against the can-to-base
lockseam. The lockseam joining the can to the base
is reinforced by the base plate.
(1) Using Tool C-4065, unscrew filter from base
and discard (Fig. 14). (2) Wipe base clean, then inspect gasket contact
surface. (3) Lubricate gasket of new filter with clean en-
gine oil. (4) Install and tighten filter to 20 N
Im (15 ft. lbs.)
torque after gasket contacts base. Use filter wrench
if necessary. (5) Start engine and check for leaks.
