SAFETY NOTICE
CAUTIONALL SERVICE AND REBUILDING INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE
APPLICABLE TO, AND FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF, THE AUTOMOTIVE
TRADE ONLY. All test and repair procedures on components or assemblies in
non-automotive applications should be repaired in accordance with instructions
supplied by the manufacturer of the total product.
Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable, operation of all motor vehicles.
The service procedures recommended and described in this publication were developedfor professional
servlTe personnel and are effective methods for performing vehicle
repair.Following these procedures will help assure efficient economical vehicleperformance
and service reliability. Some of these service procedures require the use of
special tools designed for specific procedures. These special tools should be used when
recommended throughout this publication.
Special attention should be exercised when working with spring or tension loaded
fasteners and devices such as E-Clips, Circlips, Snap rings, etc., as careless removal
may cause personal injury. Always wear safety goggles whenever working on
vehicles or vehicle components.

It is important to note that this publication contains various Cautions and Warnings.These
should be carefully read in order to minimize the risk of personal injury, or thepossibility
that, improper service methods may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe.It
is important to note that these Cautions and Warnings cover only the situations and
procedures Chrysler Motors has encountered and recommended. Chrysler Motors couldnot possibly know,
evaluate, and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways thatservice
may *be performed, or of the possible hazards of each. Consequently, ChryslerMotors
has not undertaken any such broad service review. Accordingly, anyone who
uses a service procedure, or tool, that is not recommended in this publication, must assure
oneself thoroughly that neither personal safety, nor vehicle safety, be jeopardized bythe service
methods they select.

FEATURESHigh performance and low fuel consumption
l The rocker arm reduces the valve-actuation torque as well as fuel consumption.
l Air-intake efficiency improved through the adoption of the optimum air-intake system layout.
l Improved response and fuel consumption has been achieved by electronic control multipoint
fuel injection.
l Water-cooled turbocharger.
Quiet operation
l Noise and vibration have been decreased by the adoption of roller rocker arms.
l Noise generated by the valve mechanism has been decreased by the hydraulic auto lash adjusters.
l Vibrations have been decreased by the adoption of bearing caps with beams which increase the
rigidity of the crankshaft support points.
-Serviceability
l Complete self-diagnosis functions.
l Enhanced reliability through the adoption of gold-plated connector terminals.
l Use of an auto tensioner achieves maintenance-free, automatic adjustment of timing belt
tension.
l Use of the auto lash adjusters achieves maintenance-free, automatic adjustment of valve clearance
.o The 2coil ignition system without a distributor supplies sufficient ignition energy even during
high speed operation.

The differential uses lower torque bearings and
lower torque oil seals to improve power perform-
ante and fuel consumption.
For faster differential cooling and higher reliability
during high speed operation, a differential carrier
with cooling fins has been adopted.For better serviceability, spacers for adjustment of
final drive gear backlash have been inserted
be-tween the side bearing outer race and gear carrier.

HIGH PERFORMANCE AND . . .._..............1. The DOHC 16-valve engine ensures excellent intake and exhaust
FUEL ECONOMYefficiency.
2. The rocker arm is of the roller-type-cam-follower design which Iminimizes friction loss.
3. The combustion chamber is of the pentroof type with a squish
area that offers outstanding combustion efficiency.
4. The multipoint fuel injection system is electronically
controlled.5. The intake manifold is the inertia supercharging type which
improves intake efficiency and the dual-type exhaust manifold
offers good exhaust efficiency.
6. The two-coil type electronic control ignition system ensures
good ignition performance.
LOW VIBRATION AND. . . . . . ..I.................1. The hydraulic lash adjuster, together with the roller rocker arm,
LOW NOISEcontributes to reduced operating noise of the valve mechanism.
