CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS
STANDARD PROCEDURE - CONNECTING ROD
BEARING AND CRANKSHAFT JOURNAL
CLEARANCE
(1) Measure the connecting rod bore with bearings
removedand the bolts tightened to 100 N´m (73 ft.
lbs.) torque..
(2) Measure the connecting rod bore with the bear-
ingsinstalledand the bolts tightened to 100 N´m
(73 ft. lbs.) torque.
Measure within 20É arc from each side of the part-
ing line. Also measure 90É from parting line.
Record the smallest and largest diameter.
Measure the diameter of the rod journal at the
location shown (Fig. 63). Calculate the average diam-
eter for each side of the journal.
Determine minimum bearing clearance by calculat-
ing the differance between the smallest connecting
rod bore diameter with the bearing installed and the
average diameter for each side of the crankshaft jour-
nal.
Determine the maximum bearing clearance by cal-
culating the difference between the largest connect-
ing rod bore diameter and the average diameter with
the bearing installed for each side of the crankshaft
journal.

(8) Measure the clearance of the gerotor planetary
to the body bore (Fig. 114). Maximum clearance is
0.381 mm (0.015 inch). If the oil pump is out of lim-
its, replace the pump.
(9) Measure the gears backlash (Fig. 115). The lim-
its of a used pump is 0.15- 0.25 mm (0.006-0.010
inch). If the backlash is out of limits, replace the oil
pump.
(10) Install the back plate.
INSTALLATION
(1) Lubricate the pump with clean engine oil. Fill-
ing the pump with clean engine oil during installa-
tion will help to prime the pump at engine start up.
(2) Install the pump (Fig. 110). Verify the idler
gear pin is installed in the locating bore in the cylin-
der block. Tighten the oil pump mounting bolts in
two steps, in the sequence shown in (Fig. 116).
²Step 1ÐTighten to 8 N´m (71 in. lbs.) torque.
²Step 2ÐTighten to 24 N´m (18 ft. lbs.) torque.
(3) The back plate on the pump seats against the
bottom of the bore in the cylinder block. When the
pump is correctly installed, the flange on the pump
will not touch the cylinder block.(4) Measure the idler gear to pump drive gear
backlash and the idler gear to crankshaft gear back-
lash (Fig. 117). The backlash should be 0.15- 0.25
mm (0.006-0.010 inch). If the backlash is out of lim-
its, replace the oil pump.
(5) If the adjoining gear moves when you measure
the backlash, the reading will be incorrect.
(6) Apply a bead of MopartSilicone Rubber Adhe-
sive Sealant or equivalent to the gear housing cover
sealing surface.
(7) Install the gear housing cover (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/GEAR HOUSING COVER
- INSTALLATION).
(8) Install the vibration damper (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/VIBRATION DAMPER -
INSTALLATION) and speed indicator ring.
(9) Install the fan support/hub assembly Refer to
(Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE/RADIATOR FAN -
INSTALLATION)
(10) Install power steering pump.
(11) Install accessory drive belt tensioner. Torque
bolt to 43 N´m (32 ft. lbs.).
(12) Install the accessory drive belt (Refer to 7 -
COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS -
INSTALLATION).

(4) Clean exposed end of pitman shaft and housing
with a wire brush.
(5) Rotate the stub shaft with a 12 point socket
from stop to stop and count the number of turns (Fig.
23).
(6) Center the stub shaft by rotating it from the
stop 1/2 of the total amount of turns (Fig. 23).
(7) Remove the pitman shaft cover bolts.
NOTE: The pitman shaft will not clear the housing if
it is not centered.
(8)
Remove the pitman shaft from the gear (Fig. 24).
(9) Remove the cover if needed by loosing the
adjuster nut, Then removing the cover from the pit-
man shaft.
