Glearance
1.To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance.
remove the main caps and bearing halves.
Clean each main journal and bearing half with a
clean shop towel.
Place one strip of plastigage across each main jour-
na l.
NOTE: lf the engine is still in the car when you bolt
the main cap down to check clearance, the weight
of the crankshaft and flvwheel will flaften the plasti-
gage further than just the torque on the cap bolt.
and give you an incorrect reading. For an accurate
reading, support the crank with a jack under the
counterweights and check only one bearing at a
time,
Reinstall the bearings and caps, then torque the
bolts.

lf the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow,
(remove the engine if it's still in the car), remove the
crankshaft, and remove the upper half of the bear-
ing. Install a new. complete bearing with the same
color code {select the color as shown on the next
page), and rechsck the clearance.
CAUTION: Do nol fil€, shim, or scrape the bearings

lf the plastigage shows the clearance is still incor-
rect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color
listed above or below that one), and check again
NOTE: lf the proper clearance cannot be obtained
by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings,
replace the crankshaft and start over.

removing each piston/connecting rod assembly.
Mark each piston/connecting rod assembly with its
cylinder number to avoid mixup on reassembly.
NOTE: The existing number on the connecting rod
does not indicate its position in the engine, it indi-
cates the rod bore size.

2. Apply liquid gasket to the block mating surfaces of
the oil pan, then install it. Apply liquid gasket to the
shaded areas.
NOTEI
. Use liquid gasket part No. 087 18 - 0001 or
08718 - 0003.
. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry
before apPlying liquid gasket.
. Apply liquid gasket as an even bead, centered
between the edges ol the mating surface'
. To prevent leakage of oil, apply liquid gasket to
the inner threads of the bolt holes
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or more
have elapsed since applying the liquid gasket
lnstead, reapply liquid gasket after removing the

NOTE: Under normal conditions, the oil filter should be
replaced at every other oil change Under severe condi-
tions, the oilfilter should be replaced at each oil change'
The numbers in the middle of the API Service label tell
you the oil's SAE viscosity or weight Select the oil for
vour car according to this chart:
30 20 -10 010 20 30 4OoC
An oil with a viscosity of 5W - 30 is preferred for
improved tuel economy and year-round protection in the
car. You may use a 10W - 30 oil if the climate in your area
is limited to the temperature range shown on the chart'

Oil Filter
Replacement
After the engine has been run, the exhaust pipe willbe hot; be careful when working around ihe exhaustpipe.
Be careful when loosening the drain bolt whils theengine is hot. Burns can resuh because the oil tem-peratu16 is very high.
Remove the oil filter with the oil filter wrencn.
Inspect the threads and rubber seal on the new filter.Wipe off the seat on the engine block, then apply alight coat of oil to the new filter,s rubber seal.
NOTE: Use onty fitters with a built-in bypass sys,tem.
Apply oil to rubber sealbefore installing.

21. Apply liquid gasket to the cylinder block mating sur_face of the oil pump.
NOTE:
. Use liquid gasket, Part No.08718 - oOOj or 08718- 0003.. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and drybefore applying liquid gaskel. Apply liquid gasket evenly, in a narrow bead cen-tered on the mating surface.o To prevent leakage of oil, apply liquid gasket tothe inner threads of the bolt holes.. Do not install the parts if five mtnures or morehave elapsed since applying liquid gasket.Instead. reapply liquid gasket after removing theold residue.
