REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

PISTON RINGÐREMOVAL
(1) Identification (ID) mark on face of upper and
intermediate piston rings must point toward piston
crown.
(2) Using a suitable ring expander, remove upper
and intermediate piston rings (Fig. 58).
(3) Remove the upper oil ring side rail, lower oil
ring side rail and then oil ring expander from piston.
(4) Carefully clean carbon from piston crowns,
skirts and ring grooves ensuring the 4 oil holes in
the oil control ring groove are clear.
FITTING PISTON RINGS
(1) Wipe cylinder bore clean. Insert ring and push
down with piston to ensure it is square in bore. The
ring gap measurement must be made with the ring
positioning at least 12 mm (0.50 in.) from bottom of
cylinder bore. Check gap with feeler gauge (Fig. 59).
Top compression ring gap .25 to .50 mm (.0098 to
.0196 in.). Second compression ring gap .25 to .35
mm (.0098 to .0137 in.). Oil control ring gap .25 to
.58 mm (.0098 to .0228 in.).
(2) If ring gaps exceed dimension given, new rings
or cylinder liners must be fitted. Keep piston rings in
piston sets.
(3) Check piston ring to groove clearance (Fig. 60).
Top compression ring gap .08 to .130 mm (.0031 to.0051 in.). Second compression ring gap .070 to .102
mm (.0027 to .0040 in.). Oil control ring gap .040 to

ring expander (Fig. 58).
(2) Top compression ring is tapered and chromium
plated. The second ring is of the scraper type and
must be installed with scraping edge facing bottom of
the piston. The third is an oil control ring (Fig. 61).
Ring gaps must be positioned, before inserting piston
into the liners, as follows (Fig. 62).
(3) Top ring gap must be positioned at 30 degrees

(5) Remove shims from cylinder liner or cylinder
block recess. Keep shims with each cylinder liner.
INSTALLATION
(1) Carefully clean residualsealerfrom liner and
crankcase, and degrease the crankcase where it
comes into contact with the liners. Referring to (Fig.
65), install the liners in the crankcase as shown (A),
rotating them back and forth by 45É in order to guar-
antee correct positioning.
(2) Measure the liner recess relative to block deck
with a dial indicator mounted on a special tool
VM-1010 A.All the measurements must be taken
on camshaft side. Zero dial gauge on block deck.
(3) Move dial gauge to cylinder liner record read-
ing on dial gauge.
(4) Remove liner and special tool.
(5) Then select the correct shim thickness to give
proper protrusion (0.01 - 0.06 mm).
(6) Fit the shim and the O-rings onto the liner.
(7) Lubricate the lower liner location in the block.
Apply LOCTITE 275 to the corner of the liner seat.
Apply LOCTITE 275 uniformly to the upper part of
the liner at area.
(8) Fit the liners in the crankcase making sure
that the shim is positioned correctly in the seat. Lockthe liners in position using special tool (VM-1016)
and bolts (Fig. 66). Clean the residual LOCTITE on
the upper surface of the block deck.
(9) Recheck the liner protrusion. It should be 0.01
- 0.06 mm.
NOTE: A period of six hours must elapse between
the liners being installed and engine start-up. If
engine assembly is not continued after liner instal-
lation, the liners need to be clamped for twelve

one side of the big end of the con-rod there is a two-
digit number which refers to the weight category. On
the other side of the big end there is a four digitnumber on both the rod and the cap. These numbers
must both face the camshaft as well as the recess on
the piston crown (Fig. 76). Lightly heat the piston in
oven. Insert piston pin in position and secure it with
provided snap rings.The Four digit numbers
marked on con rod big end and rod cap must

GENERAL INFORMATION
EXHAUST SYSTEM
The exhaust systems are produced in several con-
figurations, depending on engine and vehicle (Fig. 1).
AWD vehicles have a catalytic converter mounted
heat shield. The tailpipes, mufflers, and resonators
are tuned to each vehicle/powertrain combination.
CATALYTIC CONVERTERS
There is no regularly scheduled maintenance on
any Chrysler catalytic converter. If damaged, the con-
verter must be replaced.CAUTION: Due to exterior physical similarities of
some catalytic converters with pipe assemblies,
extreme care should be taken with replacement
parts. There are internal converter differences
required in some parts of the country.
The combustion reaction caused by the catalyst
releases additional heat in the exhaust system. Caus-
ing temperature increases in the area of the reactor
under severe operating conditions. Such conditions
can exist when the engine misfires or otherwise does
not operate at peak efficiency.Do notremove spark
plug wires from plugs or by any other means short
out cylinders of the exhaust system if equipped with
Fig. 1 Exhaust SystemÐTypical (All Vehicles)
NSEXHAUST SYSTEM AND INTAKE MANIFOLD 11 - 1

a catalytic converter. Failure of the catalytic con-
verter can occur due to temperature increases caused
by unburned fuel igniting when passing through the
converter.
The use of the catalysts also involves some non-au-
tomotive problems. Unleaded gasoline must be used
to avoid poisoning the catalyst core. Do not allow
engine to operate at fast idle for extended periods
(over 5 minutes). This condition may result in exces-
sive exhaust system and floor pan temperatures.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR)
To assist in the control of oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
in engine exhaust, all engines are equipped with an
exhaust gas recirculation system. The use of exhaust
gas to dilute incoming air/fuel mixtures lowers peak
flame temperatures during combustion, thus limiting
the formation of NOx.
Exhaust gases are taken from opening in the
exhaust manifold passage to the intake manifold.
REFER TO SECTION 25 FOR A COMPLETE
DESCRIPTION, DIAGNOSIS AND SERVICE PRO-
CEDURES ON THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULA-
TION SYSTEM AND COMPONENTS.
HEAT SHIELDS
Heat shields (Fig. 2) are needed to protect both the
vehicle and the floor pan from the high temperatures
developed near the catalytic converter and muffler.
Avoid application of rust prevention com-
pounds or undercoating materials to exhaust
system floor pan heat shields on cars so
equipped. Light over spray near the edges is
permitted. Application of coating will greatlyreduce the efficiency of the heat shields result-
ing in excessive floor pan temperatures and
objectionable fumes.
EXHAUST FLEX-JOINT COUPLING
A exhaust flex-joint coupling (Fig. 3) is used to
secure the catalytic converter to the engine manifold.
This living joint actually moves back and forth as the
engine moves, preventing breakage that could occur
from the back-and-forth motion of a transverse
mounted engine.
The exhaust flex-joint has four bolts, four flag nuts
and a gasket that are separate parts from the
exhaust flex-joint. The flex-joint is welded to the cat-
alytic converter.

GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)

CAUTION: When servicing, care must be exercised
not to dent or bend the bellows of the flex-joint.
Should this occur, the flex-joint will eventually fail
and require the catalytic converter be replaced.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTAKE/EXHAUST MANIFOLDÐ2.4L ENGINE
The intake manifold is a tuned two-piece alumi-
num casting with individual primary runners leading
from a plenum to the cylinders. The manifold is
designed to boost torque which is desired for excel-
lent engine response and usable power output.
The exhaust manifold is made of nodular cast iron
for strength and high temperatures.
INTAKE/EXHAUST MANIFOLDÐ3.0L ENGINE
The aluminum alloy manifold is a cross type with
long runners to improve air flow. The runners,
attaching below at the cylinder head, also attach
above and support an air plenum. The air plenum
chamber absorbs air pulsations created during the
suction phase of each cylinder.Both exhaust 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 at the exhaust outlet, to
the exhaust pipe.
INTAKE/EXHAUST MANIFOLDÐ3.3/3.8L ENGINES
The intake manifold is a tuned two-piece semi-per-
manent mold aluminum casting with individual pri-
mary runners leading from a plenum to the
cylinders. The manifold is designed to boost torque in
the 3600 rpm range and contributes to the engine's
broad, flat torque curve, which was desired for excel-
lent engine tractability, response and usable power
output.
The intake manifold is also cored with upper level
EGR passages for balanced cylinder to cylinder EGR
distribution.
The exhaust manifolds are log type with a cross-
over and are attached directly to the cylinder heads.
They are made from nodular cast iron.
