(3) If valve stems are worn more than 0.05 mm
(.002 in.), replace valve.
VALVE SPRINGS
(1) Whenever valves have been removed for
inspection, reconditioning or replacement, valve
springs should be tested for correct tension. Discard
the springs that do not meet specifications. The fol-
lowing specifications apply to both intake and
exhaust valves springs:
²Valve Closed Nominal TensionÐ 76 lbs. @ 38.0
mm (1.50 in.)
²Valve Open Nominal TensionÐ 136 lbs. @ 29.75
mm (1.17 in.)
(2) Inspect each valve spring for squareness with
a steel square and surface plate, test springs from
both ends. If the spring is more than 1.5 mm (1/16
inch) out of square, install a new spring.
CRANKSHAFT
The crankshaft journals should be checked for
excessive wear, taper and scoring (Fig. 99). Limits of
taper or out-of-round on any crankshaft journals
should be held to .025 mm (.001 inch). Journal grind-
ing should not exceed .305 mm (.012 inch) under the
standard journal diameter.DO NOTgrind thrust
faces of Number 3 main bearing.DO NOTnick
crank pin or bearing 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.
OIL PUMP
(1) Clean all parts thoroughly. Mating surface of
the oil pump should be smooth (Fig. 100). Replace
pump cover if scratched or grooved.(2) Lay a straightedge across the pump cover sur-
face (Fig. 101). If a 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) feeler gauge
can be inserted between cover and straight edge,
cover should be replaced.
(3) Measure thickness and diameter of outer rotor.
If outer rotor thickness measures 9.40 mm (0.370 in.)
or less (Fig. 102), or if the diameter is 79.95 mm
(3.148 in.) or less, replace outer rotor.
(4) If inner rotor measures 9.40 mm (0.370 in.) or
less replace inner rotor (Fig. 103).
(5) Slide outer rotor into pump housing, press to
one side with fingers and measure clearance between
rotor and housing (Fig. 104). If measurement is 0.39
mm (0.015 in.) or more, replace housing only if outer
rotor is in specification.
(6) Install inner rotor into pump housing. If clear-
ance between inner and outer rotors (Fig. 105) is
0.203 mm (0.008 in.) or more, replace both rotors.
(7) Place a straightedge across the face of the
pump housing, between bolt holes. If a feeler gauge
of 0.102 mm (0.004 in.), or more can be inserted

CLEANING AND INSPECTION (Continued)

between rotors and the straightedge, replace pump
assembly (Fig. 106),ONLYif rotors are in specs.
(8) Inspect oil pressure relief valve plunger for
scoring and free operation in its bore. Small marks
may be removed with 400 grit wet or dry sandpaper.
(9) The relief valve spring has a free length of
approximately 60.7 mm (2.39 inches) it should test
between 18 and 19 pounds when compressed to 40.5
mm (1.60 inches). Replace spring that fails to meet
specifications.
(10) If oil pressure is low and pump is within
specifications, inspect for worn engine bearings or
other reasons for oil pressure loss.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ENGINE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
The engine identification number is located on the
rear of the cylinder block just below the cylinder
head (Fig. 1).
ENGINE LUBRICATION
System is a full flow filtration, pressure feed type.
The oil pump is mounted behind the timing belt
cover. The pump inner rotor is driven by the crank-
shaft. The engine oil pan contains a baffle plate to
control oil level fluctuation during engine operation.
ENGINE COMPONENTS
BLOCK:The cylinder block is a light weight
design created by reducing thickness in many parts
and a short 10 mm (3/8 in.) block skirt. High rigidity
is provided with ribs cast in the outer wall, a full
length water jacket, and a mono-block 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
Fig. 1 Engine Identification
NS3.0L ENGINE 9 - 61

front seal is retained in the oil pump case and the
rear is retained in a block-mounted housing.
PISTONS:Are aluminum alloy with a steel strut,
short height, and thin wall so as to be autothermic
and light weight. The piston head with valve
recesses, in combination with the cylinder head,
forms a compact spherical head with clearance for
total valve lift with pistons at top dead center. The
piston skirt, top and second ring lands are finished to
a tapered roughness for oil retention and high resis-
tance to scuffing. Piston pins, pressed into place, join
the pistons to the connecting rods.
CYLINDER HEAD:The alloy cylinder heads fea-
ture cross-flow type intake and exhaust ports. Valve
guides and inserts are hardened cast iron. Valves of
heat resistance steel 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 installa-
tion.
CAMSHAFTS:Two overhead camshafts provide
valve actuation, one front (radiator side of cylinder
bank) and one rear. The front camshaft is provided
with a distributor drive and is longer. Both cam-
shafts are supported by four bearing journals, thrust
for the front camshaft is taken at journal two and
the rear at journal three. Front and rear camshaft
driving sprockets are interchangeable. The sprockets
and the engine water pump are driven by a single
notched timing belt.
ROCKER ARM SHAFTS:The shafts are retained
by the camshaft bearing journal caps. Four shafts are
used, one for each intake and exhaust rocker arm
assembly on each cylinder head. The hollow shafts
provide a duct for lubricating oil flow from the cylin-
der head to the valve mechanisms.
ROCKER ARMS:Are of light weight die-cast with
roller type follower operating against the cam shaft.
The valve actuating end of the rocker arms are
machined to retain hydraulic lash adjusters, elimi-
nating valve lash adjustment.
VALVES:Are made of heat resistant steel, valve
springs are especially designed to be short. The valve
spring wire cross-section is oval shaped and provides
the same spring tension as longer springs. Valve
spring retainers, locks and seals are conventional.
INTAKE MANIFOLD:The aluminum alloy mani-
fold is a cross type with long runners to improve
inertia. The runners, attaching below at the cylinder
head, also attach above and support an air plenum.
The air plenum chamber absorbs air pulsations cre-
ated during the suction phase of each cylinder.
EXHAUST MANIFOLDS:Both manifolds are a
log style made of ductile cast iron. Exhaust gasses,collected from the front cylinder bank, leave the front
manifold through an end outlet and are fed through
an upper crossover tube to the rear manifold. The
collected exhaust from both manifolds are combined,
and exit to the exhaust pipe through an articulated
joint.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
CHECKING ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
Check oil pressure using gauge at oil pressure
switch location. Oil pressure should be 41 kPa ( 6
psi.) at idle or 241 to 517 kPa (35 to 75 psi.) at 3000
RPM.
(1) Remove pressure sending unit and install oil
pressure gauge. (Fig. 2).
CAUTION: If oil pressure is 0 at idle, Do Not Run
engine at 3000 RPM.
(2) Warm engine at high idle until thermostat
opens.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
AUTO LASH ADJUSTER
The automatic lash adjusters are precision units
installed in machined openings in the valve actuating
ends of the rocker arms. Do not disassemble the auto
lash adjuster.
FUNCTION CHECK
Check auto adjusters for free play by inserting a
small wire through the air bleed hole in the rocker
arm andvery lightlypushing the auto adjuster ball
check down (Fig. 3). While lightly holding the check
ball down move the rocker up and down to check for
free play. If there is no play replace the adjuster.
