INSTALLATION
(1) Fill the T-joint between the pan rail/gear hous-
ing and pan rail/rear seal retainer with sealant. Use
MopartSilicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant or equiva-
lent.
(2) Apply a film of MopartSilicone Rubber Adhe-
sive Sealant or equivalent to the oil pan gasket.
Apply sealant only to the side that faces the oil pan.
(3) Place suction tube in oil pan and guide them
into place (Fig. 151). Using a new tube to oil pump
gasket, install and tighten the suction tube bolts by
hand. Starting with the oil pump inlet bolts, tighten
the bolts to 24 N´m (18 ft. lbs.) torque. Tighten the
remaining tube brace bolts to 24 N´m (18 ft. lbs.)
torque.

tighten the oil pan bolts to 24 N´m (18 ft. lbs.)
torque.
(5) Install the flywheel housing assembly with the
starter motor attached and tighten bolts to 60 N´m
(44 ft. lbs.) torque.
(6) Connect starter motor cables.
(7) Install transmission and transfer case (if
equipped).
(8) Lower vehicle.
(9) Install battery negative cables.
(10) Fill the crankcase with new engine oil.

OIL PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the battery negative cables.
(2) Remove the threaded plug, spring and plunger
(Fig. 152). Insert a finger or a seal pick to lift the
plunger from the bore.
NOTE: If the plunger is stuck in the bore, it will be
necessary to remove the filter head.
CLEANING
(1) Clean the regulator spring and plunger with a
suitable solvent and blow dry with compressed air. If
the plunger bore requires cleaning, it is necessary to
remove the oil filter head to avoid getting debris into
the engine.
INSPECTION
Inspect the plunger and plunger bore for cracks
and excessive wear. Polished surfaces are acceptable.
Verify that the plunger moves freely in the bore.
Check the spring for height and load limitations
(Fig. 153) . Replace the spring if out of limits shown
in the figure.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the plunger, spring, and plug as shown
in (Fig. 152). Tighten the plug to 80 N´m (60 ft. lbs.)
torque.
(2) Connect the battery negative cables.
(3) Start the engine and verify that it has oil pres-
sure.

o-ring (Fig. 155) and replace if necessary.
(2) Install the oil pressure sensor and tighten to 16
N´m (144 in. lbs.) torque.(3) Connect the battery negative cables.
(4) Start engine and check for oil leaks at the sen-
sor.
OIL PUMP

(5) Remove crankshaft damper (Fig. 156) (Refer to
9 - ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/VIBRATION
DAMPER - REMOVAL).
(6) Remove the gear housing cover (Fig. 157)
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/GEAR HOUS-
ING COVER - REMOVAL).
(7) Remove the four mounting bolts and pull the
pump from the bore in the cylinder block (Fig. 158).
CLEANING
Clean all parts in solvent and dry with compressed
air. Clean the old sealer residue from the back of the
gear housing cover and front of the gear housing.

(2) Remove the back plate (Fig. 159).
(3) Mark TOP on the gerotor planetary using a felt
tip pen (Fig. 159).
(4) Remove the gerotor planetary (Fig. 159).
Inspect for excessive wear or damage. Inspect the
pump housing and gerotor drive for damaged and
excessive wear.
(5) Install the gerotor planetary in the original
position. The chamfer must be on the O.D. and down.
(6) Measure the tip clearance (Fig. 160). Maximum
clearance is 0.1778 mm (0.007 inch). If the oil pump
is out of limits, replace the pump.
(7) Measure the clearance of the gerotor drive/
gerotor planetary to port plate (Fig. 161). Maximum
clearance is 0.127 mm (0.005 inch). If the oil pump is
out of limits, replace the pump.(8) Measure the clearance of the gerotor planetary
to the body bore (Fig. 162). 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. 163). The
limits of a used pump is 0.075- 0.85 mm (0.0296-
0.0335 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) Verify the idler gear pin is installed in the
locating bore in the cylinder block.

²Step 2ÐTighten to 24 N´m (18 ft. lbs.) torque.
(4) 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.(5) Measure the idler gear to pump drive gear
backlash and the idler gear to crankshaft gear back-
lash (Fig. 165). The backlash should be 0.75- 0.85
mm (0.0296-0.0335 inch). If the backlash is out of
limits, replace the oil pump.
(6) If the adjoining gear moves when you measure
the backlash, the reading will be incorrect.

DESCRIPTION
The stainless steel catalytic converter is located
under the vehicle, integral to the exhaust pipe(s).
OPERATION
The catalytic converter captures and burns any
unburned fuel mixture exiting the combustion cham-
bers during the exhaust stroke of the engine. This
process aids in reducing emissions output.
REMOVAL
(1) Raise and support vehicle.
(2) Saturate the bolts and nuts with heat valve
lubricant. Allow 5 minutes for penetration.
(3) Remove clamps and nuts (Fig. 3) (Fig. 4).
(4) Remove the catalytic converter.
