(3) Drain engine oil.
(4) Remove left engine to transmission strut.
(5) Remove oil pan mounting bolts, pan and one-
piece gasket. The engine may have to be raised
slightly on 2WD vehicles.
(6) Remove the oil pick-up tube assembly (Fig. 56)
. Discard the gasket.
CLEANING
Clean the block and pan gasket surfaces.
If present, trim excess sealant from inside the
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.
INSTALLATION
(1) Fabricate 4 alignment dowels from 5/16x11/2
inch bolts. Cut the head off the bolts and cut a slot
into the top of the dowel. This will allow easier
installation and removal with a screwdriver (Fig. 57)
.
(2) Install the dowels in the cylinder block at the
four corners.
(3) Apply small amount of MopartSilicone Rubber
Adhesive Sealant, or equivalent at the split lines.
The split lines are between the cylinder block, the
timing chain cover and the rear crankshaft seal
assembly (Fig. 56) .After the sealant is appliedyou have 3 minutes to install the gasket and oil
pan.
(4) Slide the one-piece gasket over the dowels and
onto the block.
(5) Position the oil pan over the dowels and onto
the gasket. The engine may have to be slightly raised
on 2WD vehicles.
(6) Install the oil pan bolts (Fig. 58) . Tighten the
bolts to as shown in Oil Pan Bolts Torque Chart.
(7) Remove the dowels. Install the remaining 5/16
inch oil pan bolts. Torque these bolts as shown in Oil
Pan Bolts Torque Chart.
(8) Install the drain plug. Tighten drain plug to 34
N´m (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
(9) Install the engine to transmission strut.
(10) Lower vehicle.
(11) Connect the negative cable to the battery.
(12) Fill crankcase with oil to proper level.
(13) Start engine and check for leaks.

If oil pressure was low and pump is within specifi-
cations, inspect for worn engine bearings or other
reasons for oil pressure loss.
INSTALLATION
(1) Lubricate both oil pump rotors using petroleum
jelly or lubriplate and install in the timing chain
cover. Use new parts as required (Fig. 67).

(7) Using a new pressure relief valve gasket,
install the relief valve plug. Tighten the plug to 20
N´m (15 ft. lbs.) torque.
(8) Install oil filter that has been filled with oil.
INTAKE MANIFOLD
DESCRIPTION
The aluminum intake manifold (Fig. 68) has two
plenum chambers an upper and lower which supply
air to five runners each. Passages across the longitu-
dinal center of the manifold feed air from the throttle
body to the plenum chambers.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTINGÐINTAKE
MANIFOLD LEAKAGE
An intake manifold air leak is characterized by
lower than normal manifold vacuum. Also, one or
more cylinders may not be functioning.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE
ENGINE IS OPERATING. DO NOT STAND IN A
DIRECT LINE WITH THE FAN. DO NOT PUT YOUR
HANDS NEAR THE PULLEYS, BELTS, OR THE FAN.
DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING.
(1) Start the engine.
(2) Spray a small stream of water at the suspected
leak area.
(3) If a change in RPMs occur, the area of the sus-
pected leak has been found.
(4) Repair as required.

(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING
BELT / CHAIN COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
(2) Aline camshaft and crankshaft centerline.

timing chain and camshaft sprockets.
(3) Use puller 6444 and jaws 6820 to remove
crankshaft sprocket (Fig. 79).
INSPECTIONÐMEASURING TIMING CHAIN
STRETCH
(1) Place a scale next to the timing chain so that
any movement of the chain may be measured.
(2) Place a torque wrench and socket over cam-
shaft sprocket attaching bolt. Apply torque in the
direction of crankshaft rotation to take up slack; 41
N´m (30 ft. lbs.) torque with cylinder head installed
or 20 N´m (15 ft. lbs.) torque with cylinder head
removed. With a torque applied to the camshaft
sprocket bolt, crankshaft should not be permitted to
move. It may be necessary to block the crankshaft to
prevent rotation.
(3) Hold a scale with dimensional reading even
with the edge of a chain link. With cylinder heads
installed, apply 14 N´m (30 ft. lbs.) torque in thereverse direction. With the cylinder heads removed,
apply 20 N´m (15 ft. lbs.) torque in the reverse direc-
tion. Note the amount of chain movement (Fig. 80).
(4) Install a new timing chain, if its movement
exceeds 3.175 mm (1/8 inch).
INSTALLATION
(1) Line up key in crankshaft with keyway in
sprocket, press on crankshaft timing sprocket, use
tools C-3688, C-3718 and MB-990799, seat sprocket
against crankshaft shoulder (Fig. 81).
