ENGINE OILING
CRANKCASE CAPACITY
Crankcase capacity is 4 qts. (3.8 L) with oil filter change.
NORMAL OIL PRESSURE
Normal oil pressure should be 13 psi (.91 kg/cm) at 600 RPM
or 37-75 psi (2.6-5.3 kg/cm) at 1600 RPM.
OIL PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE
Oil pressure regulator valve is located in oil pump body and
is nonadjustable.
OILING SYSTEM
Engine lubrication is provided by the distributor driven
gear-type oil pump. Oil is supplied through the full-flow oil filter
and into an internal oil passage. Internal passage runs along right
side of block and intersects lifter bores.
Oil is then routed to camshaft and crankshaft bearings. Oil
is supplied to rocker arms from the hydraulic lifters and through the
push rods. By-pass valves are located in oil filter mounting and oil
pump.

carefully remove injector with a lifting and twisting motion. Note
back-up ring fits over upper "O" ring.
Installation
1) Lubricate new lower "O" ring with light oil and install
in housing bore. Lubricate new upper "O" ring with light oil and
install in housing bore. Install back-up ring over upper "O" ring.
2) Position new injector in fuel body, and center nozzle in
lower housing bore. Seat injector with a pushing and twisting motion.
Align wire connector terminals properly. Install retainer clip and
screws. Connect injector wire connector.
FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
Removal
Remove 3 retaining screws, securing pressure regulator to
fuel body. After noting location of components for reassembly
reference, remove regulator assembly.
Installation
Position pressure regulator assembly with a new gasket.
Install 3 retaining screws, securing regulator to throttle body.
Adjust regulator. Operate engine and inspect for leaks.
IDLE SPEED ACTUATOR, MOTOR & WIDE OPEN THROTTLE SWITCH
NOTE: Closed throttle (idle) switch is integral with ISA and motor
assembly.
Removal
1) Remove air cleaner assembly. Disconnect throttle return
spring, throttle cable and cruise control cable, if equipped.
Disconnect wiring harness connector from ISA motor and WOT switch.
2) Remove ISA motor and WOT switch bracket from throttle
body. Remove motor-to-bracket retaining nuts. See Fig. 23. Do not
remove nuts from motor studs.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove ISA motor attaching nuts without

SPECIAL ENGINE MARKS
Some engines are produced at factory with oversize or
undersize components. These engines are identified by a letter code
stamped on a boss between ignition coil and distributor. Letters are
decoded as follows:
* "B" indicates all cylinder bores are .010" (.25 mm)
oversize.
* "C" indicates all camshaft bearing bores are .010" (.25 mm)
oversize.
* "M" indicates all main bearing journals are .010" (.25 mm)
undersize.
* "P" indicates all connecting rod journals are .010" (.25 mm)
undersize.

oil pump retaining bolts.
CAUTION: DO NOT move oil pick-up pipe in pump body. If oil pick-up
pipe is moved, pick-up pipe must be replaced to ensure an
airtight seal.
Disassembly & Inspection
1) Disassemble pump. See Fig. 8. Use feeler gauge and
straightedge to check gear end clearance. Place straightedge across
gears and pump body. Using feeler gauge, determine thickness feeler
gauge which fits snugly between straightedge and gears.
2) With gears installed in pump body, insert feeler gauge
between gear tooth and inner wall of pump body to check gear-to-body
clearance. Rotate gears and measure clearance at each gear tooth.
3) Compare measurements to specification. See OIL PUMP
SPECIFICATIONS table. Repair as necessary if not within
specifications. Check pressure regulator valve for wear or binding in
pump body. Replace components if wear or binding exists.

CAUTION: If pressure regulator valve is replaced, ensure replacement
valve is the same diameter as that removed. Different
diameter valves may be used.
Reassembly & Installation
1) Reverse procedures for reassembly and installation. Apply
Permatex No. 2 to pick-up pipe prior to installation. Using Pipe
Installer (J-21882), install pick-up pipe. Ensure pick-up pipe support\
bracket is aligned with pump cover bolt.
2) Fill gear cavity with petroleum jelly prior to installing
cover. Apply Loctite on pump cover area. Install cover and bolts.
Tighten bolts to specification. Check pump gears for freedom of
rotation.
3) Install oil pump and new gasket. Tighten retaining bolts
to specification.
