INSTALLATION - ENGINE ASSEMBLY
(1) Position engine and transmission assembly
under vehicle. Slowly lower the vehicle down over the
engine and transmission. It is necessary to move the
engine/transmission assembly with the dolly for
clearance around body flanges.
(2)
Align engine and transmission mounts to attach-
ing points. Install mounting bolts at the right engine
mount (Fig. 13) and left transmission mount (Fig. 14).
(3) Remove the safety straps from around engine.
(4) Slowly raise vehicle enough to remove the
engine dolly and cradle Special Tools 6135, 6710,
6848 and 6909 (Fig. 12).
(5) Remove Special Tools 6912 and 8444 (Fig. 9).
(6) Lower the vehicle.
(7) Install power steering pump and pressure line
support.

ROCKER ARMS
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - ROCKER ARMS
The rocker arms are installed on the rocker arm
shaft. The rocker arms and shaft assembly is
attached to the cylinder head with seven bolts and
retainers. The rocker arms are made of stamped
steel.
DESCRIPTION - PUSHRODS
The pushrods are made of steel and are a hollow
design. The pushrods are positioned between the
hydraulic lifter and the rocker arm.
OPERATION
OPERATION - ROCKER ARMS
The rocker arm pivots on the rocker shaft. Rocker
arms are used to translate up and down motions pro-
vided by the camshaft, hydraulic lifter, and pushrod
on one end, into a down and up motions on the valve
stem on the opposing end.
OPERATION - PUSHRODS
The pushrod is a solid link between the hydraulic
lifter and the rocker arm. Also, the pushrod supplies
engine oil from the hydraulic lifter to the rocker arm.
REMOVAL - ROCKER ARMS AND SHAFT
(1) Remove the cylinder head cover(s). (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD
COVER(S) - REMOVAL)
NOTE: Rocker arm shaft bolts are captured to the
shaft.
(2) Loosen the rocker shaft bolts (Fig. 39), rotating
one turn each, until all valve spring pressure is
relieved.
(3) Remove the rocker arms and shaft assembly
(Fig. 39).
(4) For rocker arm disassembly procedures, (Refer
to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/ROCKER ARMS -
DISASSEMBLY).
DISASSEMBLY - ROCKER ARMS AND SHAFT
CAUTION: Do not attempt to drive the bolt from the
rocker shaft. This can damage the retainer and bolt
assembly.
(1) Remove the rocker arm retainer and bolt by
performing the following procedure:
(a) Using adjustable pliers, grip the edges of the
retainer (Fig. 40).
(b) Apply an upward force with a slight rocking
motion until the retainer disengages from shaft
(Fig. 40).
(2) Remove rocker arms (Fig. 41). Identify the
component locations for reassembly in original loca-
tions.
ASSEMBLY - ROCKER ARMS AND SHAFT
(1) Install rocker arms on the shaft (Fig. 41).
Install in the orginal positions if re-used.Ensurethe
rocker shaft, all the retainers and washers are prop-
erly positioned and installed in the correct locations
(Fig. 41).
(2) Install rocker arms and shaft to the cylinder
head. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/
ROCKER ARMS - INSTALLATION)

CYLINDER BORE
NOTE: The cylinder bores should be measured at
normal room temperature, 21ÉC (70ÉF).
The cylinder walls should be checked for out-of-
round and taper with Tool C119 or equivalent (Fig.
45) (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS). If
the cylinder walls are badly scuffed or scored, the
cylinder block should be replaced, and new pistons
and rings fitted.
Measure the cylinder bore at three levels in direc-
tions A and B (Fig. 45). Top measurement should be
10 mm (3/8 in.) down and bottom measurement
should be 10 mm (3/8 in.) up from bottom of bore.
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS).
HYDRAULIC LIFTERS (CAM IN
BLOCK)
DESCRIPTION
The hydraulic lifters are a roller type design and
are positioned in the cylinder block. The lifters are
aligned and retained by a yoke and a retainer (Fig.
47).Lifter alignment is maintained by machined flats
on lifter body. Lifters are fitted in pairs into six
aligning yokes. The aligning yokes are secured by a
yoke retainer (Fig. 47).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HYDRAULIC
LIFTERS
HYDRAULIC LIFTERS DIAGNOSIS - PRELIMINARY
STEP
Before disassembling any part of the engine to cor-
rect lifter noise, check the engine oil pressure. (Refer
to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRICATION - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING)
Check engine oil level. The oil level in the pan
should never be above the MAX mark on dipstick, or
below the MIN mark. Either of these two conditions
could cause noisy lifters.
OIL LEVEL TOO HIGH
If oil level is above the MAX mark on dipstick, it is
possible for the connecting rods to dip into the oil
while engine is running and create foaming. Foam in
oil pan would be fed to the hydraulic lifters by the oil
pump causing them to become soft and allow valves
to seat noisily.
OIL LEVEL TOO LOW
Low oil level may allow pump to take in air which
when fed to the lifters it causes them to become soft
and allows valves to seat noisily. Any leaks on intake
side of pump, through which air can be drawn, will
create the same lifter noise. Check the lubrication
system from the intake strainer to the oil pump
cover, including the relief valve retainer cap. When
lifter noise is due to aeration, it may be intermittent
or constant, and usually more than one lifter will be
noisy. When oil level and leaks have been corrected,
the engine should be operated at fast idle to allow all
of the air inside of the lifters to be bled out.
VALVE TRAIN NOISE
To determine source of valve train noise, operate
engine at idle with cylinder head covers removed and
listen for source of the noise.
NOTE: Worn valve guides or cocked springs are
sometimes mistaken for noisy lifters. If such is the
case, noise may be dampened by applying side
thrust on the valve spring. If noise is not apprecia-
bly reduced, it can be assumed the noise is in the
tappet. Inspect the rocker arm push rod sockets
and push rod ends for wear.

LUBRICATION
DESCRIPTION
The lubrication system is a full flow filtration pres-
sure feed type. The oil pump is mounted in the tim-
ing chain cover and is driven by the crankshaft
OPERATION
Oil from the oil pan is pumped by a internal gear
type oil pump directly coupled to the crankshaft. The
pressure is regulated by a relief valve located in the
timing chain cover. The oil is pumped through an oil
filter and feeds a main oil gallery. This oil gallery
feeds oil under pressure to the main and rod bear-
ings, camshaft bearings. Passages in the cylinder
block feed oil to the hydraulic lifters and rocker shaft
brackets which feeds the rocker arm pivots (Fig. 94).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ENGINE OIL
PRESSURE
(1) Disconnect and remove oil pressure switch
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL PRES-
SURE SENSOR/SWITCH - REMOVAL).
(2) Install Special Tools C-3292 Gauge with 8406
Adaptor. For Special Tool identification, (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE - SPECIAL TOOLS).
(3) Start engine and record oil pressure. Refer to
Oil Pressure in Engine Specifications for the correct
pressure (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS).

OIL COOLER & LINES
DESCRIPTION
An engine oil cooler is used on 3.3/3.8L engines
(Heavy Duty Cooling Only) (Fig. 98). The cooler is a
coolant-to-oil type and mounted between the oil filter
and engine block.
OPERATION
Engine oil travels from the oil filter and into the
oil cooler. Engine oil then exits the cooler into the
main gallery. Engine coolant flows into the cooler
from the heater return tube and exits into the water
pump inlet.
REMOVAL
(1) Drain cooling system (Refer to 7 - COOLING -
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLING SYSTEM
DRAINING).
(2) Disconnect oil cooler inlet and outlet hoses
(Fig. 97).
(3) Remove oil filter.
(4) Remove oil cooler attachment fitting (Fig. 98).
(5) Remove oil cooler.
INSTALLATION
(1) Lubricate seal and position oil cooler to connec-
tor fitting on oil filter adapter (Fig. 98).NOTE: Position the flat side of oil cooler parallel to
oil pan rail.
(2) Install oil cooler attachment fitting and tighten
to 27 N´m (20 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 98).
(3) Install oil filter.
(4) Connect oil cooler inlet and outlet hoses (Fig.
97).
