circle (camshaft nose must point upward) (Fig. 20).
NOTE: Do not use a tool that will mar or damage
the tappet surface. If applied pressure is too strong
the tappet will appear to drop, but what happens is,
the valve opens.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - REPLACING ENGINE
CORE AND OIL GALLERY PLUGS
Using a blunt tool such as a drift and a hammer,
strike the bottom edge of the cup plug. With the cup
plug rotated, grasp firmly with pliers or other suit-
able tool and remove plug (Fig. 30).
VAENGINE 9 - 37
Page 1613 of 2305

CAUTION: Do not drive cup plug into the casting as
restricted cooling can result and cause serious
engine problems.
Thoroughly clean inside of cup plug hole in cylin-
der block or head. Be sure to remove old sealer.
Lightly coat inside of cup plug hole with Mopart
Stud and Bearing Mount. Make certain the new plug
is cleaned of all oil or grease. Using proper drive
plug, drive plug into hole so that the sharp edge of
the plug is at least 0.5 mm (0.020 in.) inside the
lead-in chamfer.
It is not necessary to wait for curing of the sealant.
The cooling system can be refilled and the vehicle
placed in service immediately.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - MEASURING CYLIN-
DER BORES
NOTE: This must be done with engine completely
disassembled.
(1) Thoroughly clean all cylinder bores with appro-
priate cleaning solvent.
(2) Measure each cylinder at the three measuring
points shown (Fig. 31).
(3) Using the three measurment point, measure
cylinder in the longitudinal and in the transverse
direction (Fig. 31).

CRANKSHAFT
DESCRIPTION
The engine features a forged crankshaft supported
by six bearings. The bearing caps are machined
together with the crankshaft and must not be inter-
changed. The bearing surfaces are induction hard-
ened. The connecting rods and main bearing journals
are filleted. An optional vibration damper with a sec-ond pulley is used to drive an additional A/C com-
pressor.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - MEASURE CRANK-
SHAFT AND BLOCK JOURNALS
NOTE: After any bearing damage occurred, remove
all debris which is present in the main oil gallery,
connecting rod bores, and in the crankshaft and oil
galleries. Include removal of the inserting steel ball
of the main oil gallery before cleaning.
(1) Remove crankshaft (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/EN-
GINE BLOCK/CRANKSHAFT - REMOVAL).
(2) Clean all engine parts thoroughly.
CAUTION: After bearing has damage has occurred,
replace connecting rods which have suffered over-
heating because of bearing damage. The connect-
ing rod must not have any cross scores and
notches.
(3) Inspect connecting rod. If damage is present,
inspect crankshaft, replace as necessary.
(4) Inspect crankcase.

CAUTION: The crankshaft bearing caps are num-
bered consecutively, beginning with the first crank-
shaft bearing cap at the front of the engine.
Attention must be paid to the way crankshaft bear-
ing caps fit.
(5) Unbolt crankshaft bearing caps (Fig. 32).
(6) Inspect crankshaft bearing caps and bolts for
wear and stretching.
(7) Remove crankshaft.
