VALVE SPRING
Valve springs can be removed without removing cylinder head.
Valve Spring Installed
For 4.0L the Valve Spring Installed Height Specification is
1.625 inches or 41.29 mm. For the 4.2L the information is not
available from manufacturer.
HYDRAULIC VALVE LIFTER
Removal
Remove cylinder head. See CYLINDER HEAD. Using Lifter
Remover/Installer (J-21884), remove lifter. Mark lifter location for
reassembly reference. Replace lifters as an assembly if damaged.
Internal components cannot be interchanged.
Inspection
Inspect lifter and camshaft mating surfaces for wear. Check
cylinder block lifter bore diameter. Lifter bore diameter should be
within .9055-.9065" (22.999-23.025 mm). Replace parts as necessary.
Installation
Soak lifter assembly in engine oil prior to installation.
Reverse removal procedure for installation. Install lifter in original
location.
ENGINE FRONT COVER
Removal
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove drive belts, fan
and hub assembly. Remove pulley from vibration damper. Remove
vibration damper retaining bolt and washer.
2) Using Puller (J-21719-01), remove vibration damper and
key. Remove alternator and A/C compressor bracket (if equipped).
Remove oil pan-to-front cover bolts. Remove cover-to-block retaining
bolts. Remove front cover.
3) Cut oil pan gasket tabs even with face of cylinder block.
Remove tabs. Remove gasket from oil pan. Pry crankshaft oil seal from
cover.
Installation
1) Ensure all gasket surfaces are clean. Ensure oil slinger
is installed on crankshaft. Apply sealing compound on both sides of
front cover gasket. Install gasket on cylinder block. Replace front
section of oil pan seal with similar section fabricated from new seal.
2) Coat seal with RTV sealant and place in position. Apply
sealant to the joint area of oil pan and cylinder block. Apply engine
oil on seal-to-oil pan contact areas.
3) Place front cover on cylinder block. Place Front Cover
Seal Installer (J-22248) in front cover seal area. Install all
retaining bolts. Tighten bolts to specification.
4) Install front cover oil seal. See FRONT COVER OIL SEAL in
this article. Remove front cover seal installer. Reverse removal
procedure for remaining components. Lubricate vibration damper
retaining bolt with oil prior to installation. Tighten bolts to
specification.
FRONT COVER OIL SEAL
1) Remove vibration damper. Pry seal from front cover. Use

be obtained. During high speeds "on" time may be 10 percent and "off"
time 90 percent. During low speeds with high electrical loads, "on"
time may be 90 percent and "off" time 10 percent.
SI SERIES
A rectifier bridge, connected to stator windings, contains 6
diodes (3 positive and 3 negative) molded into an assembly. This
rectifier bridge changes stator AC voltage into DC voltage, which
appears at output terminal.
Alternator field current is supplied through a diode trio
which is also connected to stator windings. A capacitor is mounted to
end frame, protecting rectifier bridge and diodes from high voltage
and suppressing radio interference noise.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: See the TROUBLE SHOOTING - BASIC PROCEDURES article
in the GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING section.
TESTING
PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
NOTE: Before making electrical checks, visually inspect all
terminals for clean, tight connections. Check alternator
mounting bolts and drive belt tension. Battery must be in
good condition to test charging system.
TESTING (ON-VEHICLE)
CS SERIES
Over/Undercharged Battery (W/ STandard Instruments)
1) If an overcharging condition is suspected, run engine at a
moderate speed. Connect a voltmeter across battery terminals. If
voltmeter indicates more than 16 volts, replace alternator.
2) If an undercharging condition is suspected, disconnect
2
wire connector from alternator. Turn ignition on with engine off.
Connect a voltmeter between terminal "L" in wiring harness and ground.
Record reading.
3) If terminal "I" is used, connect voltmeter between
terminal "I" and ground. Record reading. If voltmeter reads battery
voltage, circuits are okay. If voltmeter reads zero, this indicates an
open circuit between terminal checked and battery. Repair as
necessary.
Overcharged Battery (W/ Gauges)
If an overcharging condition is suspected, run engine at a
moderate speed. Connect a voltmeter across battery terminals. If
voltmeter indicates more than 16 volts, replace alternator.
Alternator Output Test (W/ Standard Instruments Or Gauges)
1) Run engine at moderate speed, all electrical accessories
off. Measure voltage across battery, if above 16 volts, replace
alternator.
2) Connect an ammeter in circuit at "BAT" terminal of
alternator. Turn on all available accessories. Connect a battery load
tester across battery. Operate engine at 2000 RPM and adjust battery
load tester as required to obtain maximum current output while
