FORM-IN-PLACE GASKETS
There are several places where form-in-place gas­
kets are used on the engine. DO NOT use form-in-
place gasket material unless specified. Care must
be taken when applying form-in-place gaskets. Bead
size,
continuity and location are of great importance.
Too thin a bead can result in leakage while too much can result in spill-over. A continuous bead of the
proper width is essential to obtain a leak-free joint. Two types of form-in-place gasket materials are
used in the engine area (Mopar Silicone Rubber Ad­
hesive Sealant and Mopar Gasket Maker). Each have different properties and cannot be used interchange­ ably.

MOPAR SILICONE RUBBER ADHESIWE
SEALANT
Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant, normally
black in color, is available in 3 ounce tubes. Moisture in the air causes the sealant material to cure. This
material is normally used on flexible metal flanges.
It has a shelf life of 1 year and will not properly cure
if over aged. Always inspect the package for the ex­
piration date before use.

MOPAR
GASKET MAKER Mopar Gasket Maker, normally red in color, is
available in 6 cc tubes. This anaerobic type gasket
material cures in the absence of air when squeezed
between smooth machined metallic surfaces. It will not cure if left in the uncovered tube. DO NOT use on flexible metal flanges.

SURFACE PREPARA
TION
Parts assembled with form-in-place gaskets may be
disassembled without unusual effort. In some in­
stances, it may be necessary to lightly tap the part
with a mallet or other suitable tool to break the seal
between the mating surfaces. A flat gasket scraper may also be lightly tapped into the joint but care
must be taken not to damage the mating surfaces.
Scrape or wire brush all gasket surfaces to remove
all loose material. Inspect stamped parts to ensure
gasket rails are flat. Flatten rails with a hammer on a flat plate, if required. Gasket surfaces must be free
of oil and dirt. Make sure the old gasket material is
removed from blind attaching holes.
GASKET
APPLICATION
Assembling parts using a form-in-place gasket re­
quires care.
Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant should be
applied in a continuous bead approximately 3 mm (0.12 inch) in diameter. All mounting holes must be
circled. For corner sealing, a 3 or 6 mm (1/8 or 1/4
inch) drop is placed in the center of the gasket con­
tact area. Uncured sealant may be removed with a shop towel. Components should be torqued in place
while the sealant is still wet to the touch (within 10
minutes). The use of a locating dowel is recom­
mended during assembly to prevent smearing the
material off location.
Mopar Gasket Maker should be applied sparingly
to one gasket surface. The sealant diameter should
be 1.Q0 mm (0.04 inch) or less. Be certain the mate-

- 2
ENGINES

rial surrounds each mounting hole. Excess material
can easily be wiped off. Components should be
torqued in place within 15 minutes. The use of a lo­ cating dowel is recommended during assembly to pre­
vent smearing the material off location.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE
To provide best vehicle performance and lowest ve­
hicle emissions, it is most important that the tune-up
be done accurately. Use the specifications listed on
the Vehicle Emission Control Information label found on the engine compartment hood.
(1) Test cranking amperage draw (refer to Group

8B,
Battery/Starter/Generator Service for the proper
procedures).
(2) Tighten the intake manifold bolts (refer to
Group 11, Exhaust System and Intake Manifold for
the proper specifications). (3) Perform cylinder compression test:
(a) Check engine oil level and add oil, if neces­
sary.
(b) Drive the vehicle until engine reaches normal
operating temperature. (c) Select a route free from traffic and other
forms of congestion, observe all traffic laws and
briskly accelerate through the gears several times. The higher engine speed may help clean out valve seat deposits which can prevent accurate compres­
sion readings.

CAUTION:
DO NOT
overspeed
the
engine.
(d) Remove all spark plugs from engine. As
spark plugs are being removed, check electrodes for
abnormal firing indicators - fouled, hot, oily, etc.
Record cylinder number of spark plug for future
reference.
(e) Disconnect coil wire from distributor and se­
cure to good ground to prevent a spark from start­
ing a fire.
(f) Be sure throttle blades are fully open during
the compression check. (g) Insert compression gage adaptor into the
No.l spark plug hole. Crank engine until maxi­
mum pressure is reached on gauge. Record this
pressure as No.l cylinder pressure.
(h) Repeat Step 3g for all remaining cylinders.
(i) Compression should not be less than 689 kPa
(100 psi) and not vary more than 172 kPa (25 psi)
from cylinder to cylinder.
(j) If cylinder(s) have abnormally low compres­
sion pressures, repeat steps 3a through 3h. (k) If the same cylinder(s) repeat an abnormally
low reading, it could indicate the existence of a
problem in the cylinder.
The recommended compression pressures are
to be used only as a guide to diagnosing engine
problems. An engine should NOT be disassem­ bled to determine the cause of low compression
unless some malfunction is present. (4) Clean or replace spark plugs as necessary. Ad­
just gap (refer to Group 8D, Ignition System for gap adjustment and torque).
(5) Test resistance of spark plug cables (refer to
Group 8D, Ignition System.
(6) Inspect the primary wire. Test coil output volt­

age,
primary and secondary resistance. Replace parts as necessary (refer to Group 8D, Ignition System and
make necessary adjustment).
(7) Set ignition timing to specifications (refer to
Specification Label on engine compartment hood).
(8) Perform a combustion analysis.
(9) Test fuel pump for pressure and vacuum (refer
to Group 14, Fuel System for the proper specifica­

tions).

(10) Inspect air filter element (refer to Group 0,
Lubrication and Maintenance for the proper proce­
dure).

(11) Inspect crankcase ventilation system (refer to
Group 0, Lubrication and Maintenance for the proper
procedure).
(12) For emission controls refer to Group 25, Emis­
sion Controls System for service procedures.
(13) Inspect and adjust accessory belt drives (refer
to Group 7, Cooling System for the proper adjust­
ments).

(14) Road test vehicle as a final test.

H0NIN6
CYLINDER
BORES
Before honing, stuff plenty of clean shop towels un­
der the bores and over the crankshaft to keep abra­ sive materials from entering the crankshaft area.
(1) Used carefully, the Cylinder Bore Sizing Hone
C-823 equipped with 220 grit stones, is the best tool
for this job. In addition to deglazing, it will reduce
taper and out-of-round as well as removing light scuffing, scoring or scratches. Usually a few strokes
will clean up a bore and maintain the required lim­
its.

CAUTION:
DO NOT use rigid type
hones
to remove

cylinder
wall
glaze.

(2) Deglazing of the cylinder walls may be done if
the cylinder bore is straight and round. Use a cylin­
der surfacing hone, Honing Tool C-3501, equipped
with 280 grit stones (C-3501-3810). 20-60 strokes, de­
pending on the bore condition, will be sufficient to
provide a satisfactory surface. Using honing oil C-3501-3880 or a light honing oil available from ma­
jor oil distributors.

CAUTION:
DO NOT use engine or
transmission
oil, mineral
spirits
or
kerosene.

(3) Honing
should be
done
by moving the
hone
up

and down
fast
enough
to get a Crosshatch pattern.

The hone
marks should
INTERSECT
at 50° to 60° for

proper seating
of
rings (Fig.
1).

Fig.

Cylinder
Bore
Crosshatch
Pattern

(4)
A
controlled hone motor speed between
200 and

300
RPM is
necessary
to
obtain
the
proper Crosshatch angle.
The
number
of up and
down strokes
per

minute
can be
regulated
to get the
desired
50° to 60°
angle. Faster
up and
down strokes increase
the
cross-
hatch angle.
(5) After honing,
it is
necessary that
the
block
be

cleaned
to
remove
all
traces
of
abrasive.
Use a
brush
to wash parts with
a
solution
of hot
water
and
deter­ gent.
Dry
parts thoroughly.
Use a
clean, white, lint-
free cloth
to
check that
the
bore
is
clean.
Oil the

bores after cleaning
to
prevent rusting.

crankshaft. This
can be
accomplished
by
either
of

two methods:

METHOD - 1
(PREFERRED)—Shim
the
bear­
ings adjacent
to the
bearing
to be
checked. This will
remove
the
clearance between upper bearing shell and
the
crankshaft. Place
a
minimum
of
0.254
mm
(0.010 inch) shim between
the
bearing shell
and the

adjacent bearing cap. Tighten
the
bolts
to 18 N*m (13

METHOD
- 2
(ALTERNATIVE)—The weight
of

the crankshaft
is
supported
by a
jack under
the
coun­
terweight adjacent
to the
bearing being checked.
(3) Place
a
piece
of
Plastigage across
the
entire
width
of the
bearing
cap
shell
(Fig. 2).
Position
the

Plastigage approximately
6.35 mm (1/4
inch)
off
cen­
ter
and
away from
the oil
holes.
In
addition, suspect areas
can be
checked
by
placing
the
Plastigage
in

that area. Tighten
the
bearing
cap
bolts
of the
bear­
ing being checked
to 115 N»m (85 ft. lbs.)
torque.
DO

NOT rotate
the
crankshaft
or the
Plastigage
may

be smeared, giving inaccurate results.

(4) Remove
the
bearing
cap and
compare
the
width
of
the
flattened Plastigage with
the
scale provided
on

the package
(Fig. 3).
Plastigage generally comes
in 2
scales
(one
scale
is in
inches
and the
other
is a
met­
ric scale). Locate
the
band closest
to the
same width.
This band shows
the
amount
of
clearance. Differ­ ences
in
readings between
the
ends indicate
the

amount
of
taper present. Record
all
readings taken (refer
to
Engine Specifications).
(5) Plastigage
is
available
in a
variety
of
clearance
ranges.
The
0.025-0.076
mm
(0.001-0.003 inch) range is usually
the
most appropriate
for
checking engine
bearing clearances.

Fig. 3 Clearance Measurement
CONNECTING ROD BEARING CLEARANCE Engine connecting rod bearing clearances can be
determined by use of Plastigage, or equivalent. The
following is the recommended procedures for the use of Plastigage:
(1) Remove oil film from surface to be checked.
Plastigage is soluble in oil.
(2) Place a piece of Plastigage across the entire
width of the bearing cap shell (Fig. 2). Position the
Plastigage approximately 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) off cen­
ter and away from the oil holes. In addition, suspect areas can be checked by placing the Plastigage in the
suspect area. (3) The crankshaft must be turned until the con­
necting rod to be checked starts moving toward the
top of the engine. Only then should the rod cap with
Plastigage in place be assembled. Tighten the rod
cap nut to 61 Nnn (45 ft. lbs.) torque. DO NOT ro­
tate the crankshaft or the Plastigage may be smeared, giving inaccurate results. (4) Remove the bearing cap and compare the width
of the flattened Plastigage with the scale provided on
the package (Fig. 3). Plastigage generally comes in 2 scales (one scale is in inches and the other is a met­
ric scale). Locate the band closest to the same width.
This band shows the amount of clearance. Differ­ ences in readings between the ends indicate the
amount of taper present. Record all readings taken (refer to Engine Specifications). (5) Plastigage is available in a variety of clearance
ranges. The 0.025-0.076 mm (0.001-0.003 inch) range
is usually the most appropriate for checking engine
bearing clearances.
REPAIR DAMAGED OR WORN THREADS Damaged or worn threads can be repaired. Essen­
tially, this repair consists of:
• Drilling out worn or damaged threads. • Tapping the hole with a special Heli-Coil Tap, or
equivalent.
• Installing an insert into the tapped hole.
This brings the hole back to its original thread

size.

CAUTION:
Be
sure
that
the tapped holes maintain
the original
center
line.

Heli-Coil tools and inserts are readily available
from automotive parts jobbers.

HYDROSTATIC
LOCK
When an engine is suspected of hydrostatic lock
(regardless of what caused the problem), follow the
steps below. (1) Perform the Fuel Pressure Release Procedure
(refer to Group 14, Fuel System). (2) Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
(3) Inspect air cleaner, induction system and in­
take manifold to ensure system is dry and clear of
foreign material. (4) Place a shop towel around the spark plugs to
catch any fluid that may possibly be under pressure
in the cylinder head. Remove the plugs from the en­

gine.

CAUTION:
DO NOT use the starter motor to
rotate

the
crankshaft.
Severe
damage
could
occur.

(5) With all spark plugs removed, rotate the crank­
shaft using a breaker bar and socket.
(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. Tighten the spark
plugs to 41 N#m (30 ft. lbs.) torque. (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 (refer to Group 0, Lubrica­
tion and Maintenance). (15) Connect the negative cable to the battery.
(16) Start the engine and check for any leaks.

DIAGNOSIS
Engine diagnosis is helpful in determining the
causes of malfunctions not detected and remedied by
routine tune-ups. These malfunctions may be classified as either per­
formance (e.g., engine idles rough and stalls) or me­ chanical (e.g., a strange noise). Refer to the Service Diagnosis—Performance chart
and the Service Diagnosis—Mechanical chart for pos­
sible causes and corrections of malfunctions. Refer to
Group 14, Fuel System for the fuel system diagnosis.
