checking oil DODGE DURANGO 1999 1.G User Guide

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Clean oil pan in solvent and wipe dry with a clean
cloth.
Clean oil screen and pipe thoroughly in clean sol-
vent. Inspect condition of screen.
INSPECTION
Inspect oil drain plug and plug hole for stripped or
damaged threads. Repair as necessary.
Inspect oil pan mounting flange for bends or distor-
tion. Straighten flange, if necessary.
OIL PUMP
INSPECTION
Mating surface of the oil pump cover should be
smooth. Replace pump assembly if cover is scratched
or grooved.
Lay a straightedge across the pump cover surface
(Fig. 84). If a 0.038 mm (0.0015 inch) feeler gauge
can be inserted between cover and straightedge,
pump assembly should be replaced.
Measure thickness and diameter of OUTER rotor.
If outer rotor thickness measures 20.9 mm (0.825
inch) or less or if the diameter is 62.7 mm (2.469
inches) or less, replace outer rotor (Fig. 85).
If inner rotor measures 20.9 mm (0.825 inch) or
less, replace inner rotor and shaft assembly (Fig. 86).
Slide outer rotor into pump body. Press rotor to the
side with your fingers and measure clearance
between rotor and pump body (Fig. 87). If clearance
is 0.356 mm (0.014 inch) or more, replace oil pump
assembly.
Install inner rotor and shaft into pump body. If
clearance between inner and outer rotors is 0.203
mm (0.008 inch) or more, replace shaft and both
rotors (Fig. 88).

CLEANING AND INSPECTION (Continued)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine (6) Identify the fluid in the cylinders (i.e. coolant,
fuel, oil, etc.).
(7) Make sure all fluid has been removed from the
cylinders.
(8) Repair engine or components as necessary to
prevent this problem from occurring again.
(9) Squirt engine oil into the cylinders to lubricate
the walls. This will prevent damage on restart.
(10) Install new spark plugs.
(11) Drain engine oil. Remove and discard the oil
filter.
(12) Install the drain plug. Tighten the plug to 34
N´m (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
(13) Install a new oil filter.
(14) Fill engine crankcase with the specified
amount and grade of oil.
(15) Connect the negative cable to the battery.
(16) Start the engine and check for any leaks.
VALVE TIMING
(1) Turn crankshaft until the No.6 exhaust valve is
closing and No.6 intake valve is opening.
(2) Insert a 6.350 mm (1/4 inch) spacer between
rocker arm pad and stem tip of No.1 intake valve.
Allow spring load to bleed tappet down giving in
effect a solid tappet.
(3) Install a dial indicator so plunger contacts
valve spring retainer as nearly perpendicular as pos-
sible. Zero the indicator.
(4) Rotate the crankshaft clockwise (normal run-
ning direction) until the valve has lifted 0.863 mm
(0.034 inch). The timing of the crankshaft should
now read from 10É before top dead center to 2É after
top dead center. Remove spacer.
CAUTION: DO NOT turn crankshaft any further
clockwise as valve spring might bottom and result
in serious damage.
If reading is not within specified limits:
²Check sprocket index marks.
²Inspect timing chain for wear.
²Check accuracy of DC mark on timing indicator.
VALVE SERVICE
VALVE CLEANING
Clean valves thoroughly. Discard burned, warped
and cracked valves.
Remove carbon and varnish deposits from inside of
valve guides with a reliable guide cleaner.
VALVE INSPECTION
Measure valve stems for wear. If wear exceeds
0.051 mm (0.002 inch), replace the valve.
VALVE GUIDES
Measure valve stem guide clearance as follows:
(1) Install Valve Guide Sleeve Tool C-3973 over
valve stem and install valve (Fig. 18). The special
sleeve places the valve at the correct height for
checking with a dial indicator.
(2) Attach Dial Indicator Tool C-3339 to cylinder
head and set it at right angle of valve stem being
measured (Fig. 19).
(3) Move valve to and from the indicator. The total
dial indicator reading should not exceed 0.432 mm
(0.017 inch). Ream the guides for valves with over-
size stems if dial indicator reading is excessive or if
the stems are scuffed or scored.
Service valves with oversize stems are available as
shown below.
Slowly turn reamer by hand and clean guide thor-
oughly before installing new valve.Ream the valve
guides from standard to 0.381 mm (0.015 inch).

SERVICE PROCEDURES (Continued)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine (4) Hold puller screw and tighten puller nut until
bushing is removed.
INSTALLATION
(1) Slide new bushing over burnishing end of Dis-
tributor Drive Shaft Bushing Driver/Burnisher Tool
C-3053. Insert the tool and bushing into the bore.
(2) Drive bushing and tool into position, using a
hammer (Fig. 64).
(3) As the burnisher is pulled through the bushing,
the bushing is expanded tight in the block and bur-
nished to correct size (Fig. 65).DO NOT ream this
bushing.
CAUTION: This procedure MUST be followed when
installing a new bushing or seizure to shaft may
occur.
(4) Install the intake manifold.
DISTRIBUTOR INSTALLATION
NOTE: Before installing the distributor, the oil
pump drive shaft must be aligned to number one
cylinder.(1) Rotate crankshaft until No.1 cylinder is at top
dead center on the firing stroke.
(2) When in this position, the timing mark of
vibration damper should be under ª0º on the timing
indicator.
(3) Install the shaft so that after the gear spirals
into place, it will index with the oil pump shaft. The
slot on top of oil pump shaft should be aligned
towards the left front intake manifold attaching bolt
hole (Fig. 66).
(4) Install distributor, refer to Group 8D, Ignition
Systems for the proper procedure.
After the distributor has been installed, its rota-
tional position must be set using theSET SYNC
mode of the DRB scan tool. Refer to Checking Dis-
tributor Position following the Distributor Installa-
tion section in Group 8D, Ignition system.
Do not attempt to adjust ignition timing by
rotating the distributor. It has no effect on igni-
tion timing. Adjusting distributor position will
effect fuel synchronization only.

If outer rotor thickness measures 20.9 mm (0.825
inch) or less or if the diameter is 62.7 mm (2.469

If inner rotor measures 20.9 mm (0.825 inch) or
less, replace inner rotor and shaft assembly (Fig. 86).
