Introduction This service manual is divided into sections concerning various systems and assemblies. Refer to the Contents to locate the section covering the system or assembly requiring service. Each section title page has an additional listing that will describe the section’s contents in more detail. Be sure to read the Safety Section at the end of this manual, and pay special attention to all safety warnings as they appear throughout the text. Since models are subject to change at any time, some photos may not depict actual product. Good Service Practice Service required for stern drives is generally one of three kinds: •

Normal care and maintenance - which includes putting a new stern drive into operation, storing engines, lubrication, and care under special operating conditions such as salt water and cold weather.

•

Operating malfunctions - due to improper engine or drive mounting, propeller condition or size, boat condition, or the malfunction of some part of the engine. This includes engine servicing procedures to keep the engine in prime operating condition.

•

Complete disassembly and overhaul - such as major service or rebuilding a unit.

It is important to determine before disassembly just what the trouble is and how to correct it quickly, with minimum expense to the owner. When repairing an assembly, the most reliable way to ensure a good job is to do a complete overhaul on that assembly, rather than just to replace the bad part. Wear not readily apparent on other parts could cause malfunction soon after the repair job. Repair kits and seal kits contain all the parts needed to ensure a complete repair, to eliminate guesswork, and to save time. Repair time can also be minimized by the use of special tools. Volvo Penta special tools are designed to perform service procedures unique to the product that cannot be completed using tools from other sources. They also speed repair work to help achieve service flat rate times. In some cases, the use of substitute tools can damage the part. Do not operate engine out of water even momentarily. If operated in test tank, use proper test wheel. Failure to do so can damage supply pump, overheat engine, or allow excessive engine RPM.

Engine/eng

Preparation for Service Proper preparation is extremely helpful for efficient service work. A clean work area at the start of each job will minimize tools and parts becoming misplaced. Clean an engine that is excessively dirty before work starts. Cleaning will occasionally uncover trouble sources. Obtain tools, instruments and parts needed for the job before work is started. Interrupting a job to locate special tools or repair kits is a needless delay. Use proper lifting and handling equipment. Working on stern drives without proper equipment can cause damage and personal injury. Always use clean fresh fuel when testing engines. Troubles can often be traced to the use of old or dirty fuel. Service Policy It is a Volvo Penta policy to provide dealers with service knowledge so they can give professional service demanded by today’s consumer. The Volvo Penta Training Centers, frequent mailing of Service Bulletins, Letters and Promotions, Special Tools and this Service Manual represent the latest effort to assist dealers in giving consumers the best and most prompt service possible. If a service question does not appear to be answered in this manual, you are invited to write to the Volvo Penta Service Department for additional help. Always be sure to give complete information, including engine model number and serial number. When a brand-name product or specific tool is called for, another item may be used. However, the substitute must have equivalent characteristics, including type, strength, and material. You must determine if incorrect substitution could result in product malfunction and personal injury to anyone. To avoid hazards, equivalent products which are used must meet all current U.S. Coast Guard Safety Regulations and ABYC standards.

Tuning The Engine The purpose of an engine tune-up is to restore power and performance that has been lost through wear, corrosion or deterioration of one or more parts or components. In the normal operation of an engine, these changes can take place gradually at a number of points, so that it is seldom advisable to attempt an improvement in performance by correction of one or two items only. Time will be saved and more lasting results will be obtained by following a definite and thorough procedure of analysis and correction of all items affecting power and performance. Economical, trouble-free operation can better be ensured if a complete tune-up is performed once every year, preferably in the spring. Components that affect power and performance can be divided into three groups: •

Components affecting compression

•

Components affecting ignition

•

Components affecting fuel system

Tune-up procedures should cover these groups in the order given. While the items affecting compression and ignition may be handled according to personal preference, correction of items in the fuel system group should not be attempted until all items affecting compression and ignition have been satisfactorily corrected. Most of the procedures for performing a complete engine tune-up will be covered in greater detail in this manual. This section will deal mainly with the order of procedures involved in tuning the engine.

Engine Compression Testing During all work done around the engine, while the engine is running or being cranked, use extreme care to avoid getting fingers or clothing caught in any belts, pulleys, or other moving parts. 1. Visually inspect stern drive unit for leaks, missing parts or other obvious defects. Replace deteriorated parts. 2. Compression check: Proper compression is essential for good engine performance. An engine with low or uneven compression cannot be properly tuned. a. Operate engine to normal operating temperature. Engine must not be started and run without water for cooling.

b. Remove any foreign matter from around spark plugs by blowing out with compressed air. c. Remove and inspect all spark plugs. Install thread-type compression gauge in spark plug hole. d. To Prevent Sparking: •

All Models Except 5.0 GL and 5.7 GS: Remove (grey) 2-wire connector, with purple and grey wires, at ignition coil.

•

5.0 GL and 5.7 GS Models Only: Remove both distributor primary wires from the ignition coil. Tape wire terminals to prevent accidental grounding.

e. With choke and/or throttle plates wide open, crank engine through at least four compression strokes. Test Conclusion The indicated compression pressures are considered normal if the lowest reading cylinder is within 75% of the highest. Example: If the highest pressure reading was 140 PSI, 75% of 140 is 105. Therefore, any cylinder reading less than 105 PSI indicates an improperly seated valve, worn valve guides, piston, cylinder, or worn or broken piston rings. Any cylinder reading 105 PSI or greater is within specifications, and compression is considered normal. If one or more cylinders read low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of engine oil on top of the pistons in the low reading cylinders. Repeat compression pressure check on the cylinders. 1. If compression improves considerably, the piston rings are at fault. 2. If compression does not improve, valves are sticking or seating poorly, or valve guides are worn. 3. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression pressures and squirting oil on the pistons does not increase the compression, the cause may be a cylinder head gasket leak between the cylinders. This problem could allow engine oil and/or coolant to enter the cylinders.

After checking cylinder compression, repairs should be made as necessary. Subsequent adjustments to an engine that does not have proper compression will not measurably improve performance or correct operational problems. After verifying compression, check ignition and fuel system components. Ignition System • • • • • • • • •

Intake Manifold Vacuum Testing Test Procedures 1. Install a vacuum gauge to a good intake manifold source, following the gauge manufacturer’s instructions. Start and warm up the engine. 2. Observe the vacuum gauge while operating the engine over a range of engine speeds. Test Results 1. A steady vacuum reading between 18 and 22 in. Hg. (60,7-74,3 kPa) at idle indicates an engine in good mechanical condition. 2. A vacuum reading below 18 in. Hg. (60,7 kPa) at idle, indicates an engine that is not developing enough vacuum. Further testing for base mechanical problems is needed. 3. Possible causes of low intake manifold vacuum are late ignition timing, low compression, poor engine sealing, leaks at vacuum lines and connections or bad MAP sensor. 4. If the gauge fluctuates at idle, possible causes are sticking or leaking valves, or an ignition miss. 5. If the gauge fluctuates at idle but smooths out as engine RPM increases, check for bad valves or camshaft. 6. If the gauge fluctuates more with increases engine RPM, check for weak or broken valve springs, bad valves, ignition miss, or a leaking head gasket. 7. If the vacuum gauge fluctuates regularly with each engine cycle, check for a bad valve. 8. If the vacuum reading drops steadily as engine RPM increases, check the exhaust system between the engine and vertical drive for restrictions. 9.

Gasoline Requirements The models covered in this manual are designed for maximum performance with the use of lead-free gasoline with the following minimum or higher octane specification: Inside the U.S., (R+M)/2 (AKI) - 89 Outside the U.S., (RON) - 93 4.3 GL, GS, 5.0 GL, and 5.7 GS Models Only - The ignition timing will have to be retarded if lower octane fuels, with minimum 86 AKI (90 RON) octane, are used. Refer to “Timing” in Tune-up Specifications. When ignition timing is retarded, a slight decrease in power can be expected. Use of gasoline with lower than 89 AKI (93 RON) octane in 4.3 GL, GS, 5.0 GL, and 5.7 GS models, without retarding ignition timing as specified, will result in serious damage to your engine and will void the engine warranty. All Other Models - Lower octane fuels, with minimum 86 AKI (90 RON) octane, can be used. With the use of lower octane fuel, a slight decrease in power can be expected. Engine damage resulting from the use of gasoline with octane lower than 86 AKI (90 RON) is considered misuse of the engine and will void the engine warranty. Some marinas sell fuel with lead additives. Do not use such fuel as it may plug the fuel injectors. Premium fuel contains injector cleaners and other additives that protect the fuel system and provide optimum performance. The use of premium grade fuels in all models is strongly recommended. To prevent gum formation and corrosion in the fuel system, use DuraPlus TM Marine Fuel Cleaner in the gasoline. DuraPlus TM Marine Fuel Cleaner is available from your authorized dealer. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. Always stop engine and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the boat when refueling gas tanks. When filling the gas tank, ground the tank to the source of gasoline by holding the hose nozzle firmly against the side of the deck filler plate, or ground it in some other manner. This action prevents static electricity build-up which could cause sparks and ignite fuel vapors.

Gasolines Containing Alcohol Many gasolines being sold today contain alcohol. Two commonly used alcohol additives are Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and Methanol (methyl alcohol).

Safety Related

1-10

Engine/eng

See the boat’s Operators Manual to determine if the boat’s fuel system is compatible with alcohol blended fuels. If it is, your engine may use gasolines blended with no more than 10% Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) meeting the minimum octane specification. Do not use any gasoline which contains METHANOL (methyl alcohol). Continued use of METHANOL (methyl alcohol) fuel will cause serious damage to the fuel system. If you use gasoline containing alcohol, be aware of the following: •

The engine will operate leaner. This may cause engine problems such as vapor lock, low speed stalling, or hard starting.

•

Alcohol blended fuels attract and hold moisture. Moisture can cause fuel tank corrosion. Inspect fuel tanks at least annually. Replace corroded or leaking fuel tanks.

•

Frequently inspect non-metallic parts of fuel system and replace if excessively stiff, deteriorated or leaking.

Fuel leakage can contribute to a fire and/or explosion.

Crankcase Oil

DRC6834

1 2 Initial factory fill is a high quality motor oil for API Service SG/ CD. During the break-in period (20 hours), frequently check the oil level. Somewhat higher oil consumption is normal until piston rings are seated. The oil level should be maintained in the safe range between the Add and Full marks on the dipstick. This range represents approximately 1 liter (1 quart). If it is necessary to add or change the motor oil, use a quality oil with API service category SG/CD that meets General Motors Standard GM-6094-M. At the end of the break-in period (20 hours), change the crankcase oil and replace the oil filter. Refer to Lubrication and Inspection Chart for recommended oil change intervals. The use of multi-viscosity oils, such as 10W-30 or 10W-40, is not recommended. Draining and Filling the Engine Crankcase Drain and refill crankcase every 100 hours of operation or once a year, whichever occurs first. To prevent fire and explosion, always make sure engine compartment is free of gasoline fumes before using any spark-producing tools such as the electric drill motor used with oil withdrawal pump kit.

3 Check the motor oil level frequently with the dipstick.

When oil is to be changed, remove dipstick and withdraw oil from crankcase through withdrawal/dipstick tube. The oil withdrawal tube is provided so oil does not have to be drained into the bilge. Withdraw oil with a suction pump. Fill the crankcase to the specified capacity with a quality motor oil labeled for service category SG/CD which meets General Motors Standard GM-6094-M. Oils conforming to this standard contain detergent and anti-wear additives that will prolong engine life.

1 37904

When changing motor oil, select from the following chart the SAE viscosity that matches the temperature range in which the boat will be operated. If it is necessary to add motor oil, use motor oil of the same viscosity.

IF THE LOWEST ANTICIPATED TEMPERATURE IS:

THE FOLLOWING SAE VISCOSITY OILS ARE RECOMMENDED:

32° F (0° C) and above 0° F (-18° C) to 32° F (0° C) Below 0° F (-18° C)

SAE 30 SAE 20W-20 SAE 10W

2 34101

Disregard any reference to multi-viscosity oil printed on engine. Such reference is intended for automotive use only and not marine application. Do not fill above full mark. Overfilling results in high operating temperatures, foaming (air in oil), loss of power, and overall reduced engine life. Crankcase Capacities

Off-Season Storage Preparations

5 COA6781A

There are nine steps that must be completed for off-season storage preparation. Step 1. Condition Fuel System: Add DuraPlus TM Marine Fuel Stabilizer to fuel system. Follow instructions for adding conditioner and running engine as stated on the container. This will stabilize the fuel and prevent formation of varnish and gum in entire fuel system. Do this before continuing with the following procedures.

6 3253

Models equipped with 4 BBL carburetors should be run under a load at a high enough throttle setting to circulate conditioner through the secondary fuel system.

Step 2. Change Motor Oil and Oil Filter: •

Engine should first be operated under load until oil is thoroughly warmed up. If oil is allowed to warm up before draining, a more complete draining will be accomplished. In addition, accumulated impurities will be held in suspension by the oil and be removed during draining operation.

•

Remove motor oil by siphoning it out of oil withdrawal tube. Follow the procedure under Draining and Filling the Engine Crankcase.

•

Install a new oil filter and fill crankcase with recommended oil.

Vertical drive must be submerged in water or an accessory flushing adaptor must be used while operating engine. When using a flushing adaptor, remove propeller before starting engine to prevent accidental contact with rotating propeller. •

With vertical drive in full down position, run engine at a fast idle for a few minutes to distribute clean oil through engine.

•

Shut off engine and check oil level. Check oil filter gasket for leaks. Add oil if necessary to bring oil level up to, but not over, the full mark.

Step 3. Change Vertical Drive Lubricant: Drain and refill with fresh DuraPlusTM GL-5 Synthetic Gear Lubricant or Mobilube 1 SHC Fully Synthetic SAE 75W-90 (meeting or exceeding MIL-L-2105C or D, API GL-4 or 5) gear lubricant. Refer to Vertical Drive Service Manual. Step 4. Fog Engine: Carbureted Models Only: •

Warm up engine to ensure fuel conditioner is throughout fuel system. Use 1/2 pint (0.24 liter) of Volvo Penta Fogging Oil 12 oz. (355 ml) spray can to fog engine.

•

Remove flame arrestor from carburetor. Following instructions on container, bring engine up to a fast idle and slowly pour or spray 2/3 of fogging oil into carburetor. Keep engine running while pouring fogging oil into carburetor throat.

•

Rapidly add remaining 1/3 of fogging oil to carburetor, then reduce throttle to idle and let engine die. Turn off ignition and replace flame arrestor. Close fuel shutoff valve (if so equipped).

Engine/eng

Fuel Injected Models Only: Prepare an engine “storage mixture” in an outboard V6 six gallon fuel tank. It must consist of 5 gallons fuel; 4 pints (64 oz.) Volvo Penta Fogging Oil; and 1/3 cup (2.5 oz.) DuraPlusTM Marine Fuel Stabilizer. Mix these ingredients thoroughly. •

Disconnect boat fuel line at engine fuel pump. Run engine on the “storage mixture” for approximately 5 minutes at 1500 RPM. This will ensure that all fuel system and internal engine components are thoroughly protected. Shut off engine before the “storage mixture” is used up.

Do not run engine out of fuel. The electric fuel pumps will be damaged. Step 5. Drain Cooling System: When draining engine, raise or lower bow of boat to position engine in a horizontal plane. This will provide for complete drainage of block and manifolds. If bow of boat is higher or lower than stern, some water may be trapped in block or manifolds. Improper or incomplete draining may result in freeze damage to the engine, manifolds, vertical drive or other components. Freeze damage is not covered under the warranty. 3.0 GS Models

Pump the bilge dry and air out the engine compartment.

Safety Warning •

To prevent a possible explosion, operate the blower as recommended by the boat manufacturer before starting engine. If the boat is not equipped with a bilge blower, open engine cover or hatch prior to starting and leave open until after engine is running.

•

If operating boat in water, tie boat securely to dock to prevent forward or backward movement.

•

When using a flushing adaptor, remove the propeller before starting engine to prevent accidental contact with rotating propeller.

7. Test run engine: Launch boat or use a flushing adaptor installed on vertical drive. Do not start engine out of water unless using a flushing adaptor. Always turn water on before starting engine. Control water pressure as full water pressure may cause damage to supply pump and engine. 8. With engine compartment open, start the engine. Monitor the voltmeter, oil pressure and water temperature gauges frequently to be sure all systems are operating properly. Check for fuel, oil, and water leaks.

Engine Break-in All engines have been run for a short period of time as a final test at the factory. You must follow the Engine Break-In procedure during the first 20 hours of operation to ensure maximum performance and longest engine life. To ensure proper lubrication during the break-in period, do not remove factory break-in oil until after the 20-hour break-in is completed. First Two Hours For the first five to ten minutes of operation, operate engine at a fast idle (above 1500 RPM). After engine has reached operating temperature, momentarily reduce engine speed, then increase engine speed, to assist break-in of rings and bearings. During the remaining first two hours of operation, accelerate to bring boat onto plane quickly and bring throttle back to maintain a planing attitude. During this period, vary the engine speed frequently by accelerating to approximately three-fourths throttle for two to three minutes, then back to minimum planing speed. Maintain planing attitude to avoid excessive engine load. DO NOT RUN ENGINE AT A CONSTANT RPM FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME DURING THE BREAK-IN PERIOD. Next Eight Hours During next eight hours, continue to operate at approximately threefourths throttle or less (minimum planing speed). Occasionally reduce throttle to idle speed for a cooling period. During this eight hours of operation it is permissible to operate at full throttle for periods of less than two minutes. DO NOT RUN ENGINE AT A CONSTANT RPM FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME DURING THE BREAK-IN PERIOD. Final Ten Hours During the final ten hours of break-in, after warming engine to operating temperature, it is permissible to operate at full throttle for five to ten minutes at a time. Momentarily reduce then increase engine speed to assist break-in of rings and bearings. Occasionally reduce engine speed to idle to provide cooling periods.

Engine/eng

1-21

DO NOT RUN ENGINE AT A CONSTANT RPM FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME DURING THE BREAK-IN PERIOD. During break-in period, be particularly observant during initial running of engine, as follows: 1. Check crankcase oil level frequently. Maintain oil level in safe range, between “add” and “full” marks on dipstick. If you have a problem getting a good oil level reading on dipstick, rotate dipstick 180 ° in tube. 2. Watch oil pressure gauge. If indicator fluctuates whenever boat attitude (i.e. turning, climbing on plane, etc.) is changed, it may be the oil pickup screen is not covered with oil. Check crankcase dipstick, and add oil to crankcase if required. DO NOT OVERFILL. If oil level is correct and condition still exists, check for possible gauge or oil pump malfunction. Oil pressure will rise as RPM increases, and fall as RPM decreases. In addition, cold oil will generally show higher oil pressure for any specific RPM than hot oil. Both of these conditions reflect normal engine operation. 3. Watch engine temperature indicator to be sure there is proper water circulation. Failure to follow the break-in procedure will void the engine warranty. At end of break-in period (20 hours), remove motor oil and replace oil filter. Fill crankcase with recommended 4-cycle motor oil. Operation After Break-in After break-in, the engine can be operated at any RPM from idle to full throttle. However, cruising at 3600 RPM or less saves fuel, reduces noise, and prolongs engine life. When starting a cold engine, always allow engine to warm up gradually. Never run engine at full throttle until engine is thoroughly warmed up. Be sure to check oil level frequently during the first 50 hours of operation, since oil consumption will be high until piston rings are properly seated.

Submerged Engine Remove engine from water as quickly as possible. It is imperative that your dealer remove all water from the engine and immediately relubricate all internal parts. All electrical devices must also be dried and inspected for water damage. Delay in completing these actions may allow extensive engine damage. Frequently check engine compartment for gasoline fumes and excessive water accumulation; water depth in bilge should be kept well below flywheel housing.

20-Hour Check 1. Change engine oil and oil filter. 2. Check power trim/tilt reservoir for proper fluid level. 3. 3.0 GS Models Only: Clean and inspect the ceramic filter located under the fuel pump. 4. All Models Except 3.0 GS: Change fuel filter/water separator. 5. Check flame arrestor for proper mounting. 6. Start engine and check complete fuel system for leaks. 7. Lubricate steering cable ram with Volvo Penta grease. Check power steering pump reservoir for correct fluid level on models equipped with power steering. Failure to properly lubricate the steering system could lead to loss of steering control. 8. Check shift system for proper adjustment and operation. 9. Inspect exhaust system. Tighten all hose clamps, and check for leaks. 10. Check tension on all drive belts. 11. Check all engine mount screws for tightness.

Positive Closed-Type Ventilation System A malfunctioning closed crankcase ventilation system may be indicated by loping or rough engine idle. Do not attempt to compensate for this idle condition by disconnecting the crank-case ventilation system and making carburetor adjustments. The removal of the crankcase ventilation system from the engine will adversely affect fuel economy and engine ventilation with resultant shortening of engine life. To determine whether loping or rough idle condition is caused by a malfunctioning crankcase ventilation system, perform the following tests. With Engine Idling 1. Remove PCV valve from its mounting, but leave vacuum inlet side connected to hose. If the valve is functioning properly and not plugged, a hissing noise will be heard as air passes through valve. A strong vacuum will be felt when a finger is placed over valve inlet. Check for vacuum leaks in hose line and at all connections. 2. Reinstall PCV valve, then remove crankcase air inlet hose at flame arrestor connection. Loosely hold a small piece of stiff paper (such as a 3 x 5 memo card or parts tag card) over opening at end of inlet hose. After a minute or so, (to allow crankcase pressure to lower) the piece of paper should be sucked against hose opening with a noticeable force. With Engine Stopped Remove PCV valve from its mounting and shake it. A metallic clicking noise should be heard, indicating that valve parts are free, and not sticking. If ventilation system passes these two tests, it can be considered functionally OK, and no further service is required. If it fails either test, replace PCV valve and repeat Engine Idling Test. If system still does not pass test, clean ventilation system hoses and all passages to induction system in accordance with established procedures. Servicing PCV Valve Do not attempt to clean crankcase ventilation regulator valve, it should be replaced. Clean crankcase ventilation system connection(s) on intake manifold by probing with a flexible wire or bottle brush. Clean hoses, tubes and associated hardware with a low-volatility, petroleumbase solvent and dry with compressed air.

Engine Troubleshooting Guides EFI Engines Only: Refer to EFI Diagnostic Service Manual. These guides were written to help you trace the symptoms of the trouble to the source, without having to read through and prove every possibility. Much of the information here will be familiar to well informed mechanics. Also, many factors will seem insignificant but when you think of it, usually the toughest problem to troubleshoot is caused by the smallest error. The greatest aid to solving a service problem is information. Start gathering information from the boat operator and write it on his job card or work ticket. Find out pertinent facts, such as: • • •

When did this trouble start? How was the boat loaded? Did the trouble occur suddenly, or start gradually?

Analyze this information and try to match it to similar situations you have experienced in the past. Keep in mind the fundamental rules: 1. COMPRESSION - Mixture inducted into cylinder and compressed. 2. SPARK - Proper intensity at the proper time. 3. FUEL - Proper mixture of air and fuel. These are very old rules, but necessary for the engine to run. Use these charts and the service information they refer to. Do not try to remember tolerances, settings, measurements, etc., as they are written in the service manual. Leave your mind free to analyze the problem.

Safety Warnings Before working on any part of the engine, read the Safety section at the end of this manual. Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The text will call out those fasteners that require replacement after removal. The text will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplement coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and tightening specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

General Description The engine repair information described in this section explains how to clean, inspect, and measure certain engine components. Use this section along with the proper engine repair section for the correct disassembly and assembly procedures. Engine specifications are found in the back of each engine repair section and will be referred to often in this section.

Cleanliness and Care An engine is a combination of many machined, honed, polished, and lapped surfaces with very close tolerances. Whenever valve train, cylinder head, crankshaft, piston, and connecting rod components are removed for service, they should be installed in their original location. Anytime the flame arrestor is removed, the intake opening must be covered. This will protect against the entrance of foreign material which could follow the intake passage into the cylinder and cause extensive damage when the engine is started. When any internal engine parts are serviced, care and cleanliness are important. Apply a liberal coating of engine oil to friction areas during assembly to protect and lubricate the surfaces during initial operation. Throughout this section, it should be understood that proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is part of the repair procedure. This is considered standard shop practice even if not specifically stated.

Use of RTV Sealer and Anaerobic Gasket Eliminator Two types of sealants are commonly used in the engines covered by this manual. These are RTV sealer and anaerobic “gasket eliminator” sealer. It is important that these sealers be applied properly and in the proper place to prevent oil leaks. THE TWO TYPES OF SEALER ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. Use the sealer recommended in the procedure.

• RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing) sealer is used where a non-rigid part is assembled to a rigid part. Common examples are oil pans and valve rocker arm covers.

2-2

Engine/eng

• Anaerobic gasket eliminator hardens in the absence of air. This sealer is used where two rigid parts (such as castings) are assembled together. When two rigid parts are disassembled and no sealer or gasket is readily noticeable, the parts were probably assembled using gasket eliminator. Using RTV Sealer 1. Do not use RTV in areas where extreme temperatures are expected, such as exhaust manifold or head gaskets, or where gasket eliminator is specified. 2. Use a rubber mallet to separate components sealed with RTV. Bump the part sideways to shear the RTV sealer. Bumping should be done at bends or reinforced areas to prevent distortion of parts. RTV is weaker in shear (lateral) strength than in tensile (vertical) strength. Attempting to pry or pull components apart may result in damage to the part. 3. Remove all gasket material from the part using a plastic or wood scraper. Use Loctite brand “Chisel Gasket Remover,” P/N 79040, or Permatex brand “Gasket Remover,” P/N 4MA, or equivalent. Follow all safety recommendations and directions that are on the can. Do not use any other method or technique to remove gasket material from a part. Do not use abrasive pads, sand paper or power tools to clean gasket surfaces. These methods of cleaning can damage the part. Abrasive pads also produce a fine grit that the oil filter cannot remove from the oil. This grit is abrasive and has been known to cause internal engine damage. 4. Apply RTV to one of the clean surfaces. Use a bead size as specified in the procedure. Run the bead to the inside of any bolt holes. Do not allow the sealer in any blind threaded holes, as it may prevent the bolt from seating properly or cause damage when the bolt is tightened. 5. Assemble components while RTV is still wet (within 3 minutes). Do not wait for RTV to skin over. 6. Torque bolts to specifications. Do not overtighten. Using Anaerobic Gasket Eliminator 1. Remove all gasket material from the part using a plastic or wood scraper. Use Loctite brand “Chisel Gasket Remover,” P/N 79040, or Permatex brand “Gasket Remover,” P/N 4MA, or equivalent. Follow all safety recommendations and directions that are on the can. Do not use any other method or technique to rermove gasket material from a part.

4. Assemble parts in the normal manner and torque immediately to specifications.

Important

Anaerobic sealed joints that are partially torqued and allowed to cure more than five minutes may result in incorrect shimming of the joint.

Replacing Engine Gaskets Composite-type head gaskets and intake manifold gaskets are used in the engine assembly. The head gaskets have a thin metal core. Some engine applications use a thin metal core for intake manifold gaskets. Use caution when removing or handling gaskets to help avoid personal injury.

Cylinder Bores Measuring Cylinder Bore Taper and Out-of-Round

1 Tool Required: J 8087 Cylinder Bore Gauge

• If one or more cylinder bores are rough, scored or worn beyond limits, it will be necessary to smooth or true up such bores to fit new pistons.

• No attempt should be made to cut down oversize pistons to fit cylinder bores as this will destroy the surface treatment and affect the weight. The smallest possible oversize service pistons should be used and the cylinder bores should be honed to size for proper clearances. 1. Refer to Engine Specifications in the proper engine repair section for cylinder bore tolerances.

1 2. Depress plunger on tool 0.03 in. (0,76 mm) or until tool enters cylinder bore. 1 3. Center the gauge in the cylinder and turn the dial to “0”.

3 Cylinder bores can be measured by setting the cylinder gauge dial at zero in the cylinder at the point of desired measurement. Lock the dial indicator at zero before removing it from the cylinder, and measure across the gauge contact points with an outside micrometer, with the gauge at the same zero setting when removed from the cylinder. If cylinder bore taper or wear exceed specification, the cylinders must be bored and honed to the smallest oversize. Refer to Engine Specifications in the proper repair section. Fine vertical scratches made by ring ends will not, by themselves, cause excessive oil consumption; therefore, honing to remove them is unnecessary. If the bore is glazed but otherwise serviceable, break the glaze lightly with a hone and replace the piston rings. Refer to Honing in this section. If honing is not required, the cylinder bores should be cleaned with a hot water and detergent wash. Apply clean engine oil to the bore after cleaning.

Removing Cylinder Bore Ridge

J 24270

1 Tool Required: J 24270 Ridge Reamer

Important

Do NOT remove excessive material from the cylinder bore. Excessive removal of material may require cylinder boring to the next oversize. 1. Rotate the crankshaft until the piston is at BDC. 2. Place a cloth on top of the piston.

1 3. Perform the cutting operation with a J 24270 ridge reamer.

1 DRC6510

Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions before using J 24270. 4. Remove J 24270 and rotate the crankshaft until the piston is at TDC. 5. Remove the cloth and cuttings. 6. Repeat this procedure for each piston. Boring

Important Refer to Engine Specifications in the proper engine repair section for additional information. 1. Before the honing or boring operation is started, measure all new pistons with the micrometer contacting at points exactly 90 degrees from the piston pin centerline. Some pistons must be measured at a specified distance from the piston crown. Refer to the proper section for additional instructions. Then select the smallest piston for the first fitting. The slight variation usually found between pistons in a set may provide for correction in case the first piston is fitted too loose. 2. Before using any type of boring bar, the top of the cylinder block should be filed to remove any dirt or burrs. This is very important. If not checked, the boring bar may be tilted which would result in the rebored cylinder wall not being at right angles to the crankshaft. 3. The instructions furnished by the manufacturer of the equipment being used should be carefully followed. 4. When boring cylinders, all crankshaft bearing caps must be in place and tightened to the proper torque to avoid distortion of bores in the final assembly.

2-6

Engine/eng

5. When taking the final cut with a boring bar, leave 0.001 in. (0,025 mm) on the diameter for finish honing to give the required position to the cylinder clearance specifications. (The honing or boring operation must be done carefully so the specified clearance between pistons, rings, and cylinder bores is maintained). Honing 1. When honing the cylinders, follow the hone manufacturer’s recommendations for use, cleaning, and lubrication during honing. Use only clean, sharp stones of the proper grade for the amount of material to be removed. Dull, dirty stones cut unevenly and generate excessive heat. When using coarse or medium grade stones, use care to leave sufficient metal so that all stone marks may be removed with the fine stones used for finishing to provide proper clearance. 186747

2. Occasionally, during the honing operation, the cylinder bore should be thoroughly cleaned, and the piston selected for the individual cylinder checked for correct fit. 3. When honing to eliminate taper in the cylinder, make full strokes of the hone in the cylinder. Also check measurement at the top, middle, and bottom of the bore repeatedly. Handle the pistons with care and do not attempt to force them through the cylinder until the cylinder has been honed to the correct size. The piston can be easily distorted through careless handling. 4. When finish honing a cylinder bore to fit a piston, move the hone up and down at a sufficient speed to obtain very fine uniform surface finish marks in a cross-hatch pattern at the specified angle (45 to 65 degrees). 5. The finish marks should be clean but not sharp, free from embedded particles and torn or folded metal. 6. By measuring the piston to be installed at the sizing point specified in the proper section, and adding the average of the clearance specification, the finish hone cylinder measurement can be determined. It is important that both the block and piston be measured at normal room temperature. 7. Refer to Engine Specifications in the proper engine repair section. 8. It is of the greatest importance that refinished cylinder bores are trued up to have less than the specified out-of-round or taper. Each bore must be final honed to remove all stone or cutter marks and provide a smooth surface.

Engine/eng

2-7

9. After final honing and before the piston is checked for fit, clean the bores with hot water and detergent. Scrub with a stiff bristle brush and rinse thoroughly with hot water. It is essential that a good cleaning operation be performed. If any of the abrasive material is allowed to remain in the cylinder bores, it will wear the new rings, cylinder bores, and bearings lubricated by the contaminated oil. After washing, the dry bore should be brushed clean with a power-driven fiber brush. 10. Refer to Engine Specifications in the proper engine repair section.

Clean: 1. Crankshaft with solvent.

• Do not scratch the bearing journals • Remove all sludge from the oil passages with compressed air 2. Crankshaft bearings.

• Wipe free of oil with a soft cloth. Inspect: Crankshaft for cracks.

• Use the magnaflux method if available. • Crankshaft, crankshaft bearing journals, and thrust surfaces for scoring, nicks, or damage caused by lack of lubrication.

2-18

Engine/eng

• Crankshaft bearings for scoring or other damage. In general, the lower crankshaft bearings (except the #1 bearing) show the greatest wear and distress from fatigue. Upon inspection, if a lower crankshaft bearing is suitable for reuse, it can be assumed that the upper crankshaft bearing is also satisfactory. If a lower crankshaft bearing shows evidence of wear or damage, both the upper and lower crankshaft bearings must be replaced. Measuring Bearing Clearance

3

Crankshaft bearings are of the precision insert type and do not use shims for adjustment. If clearances are excessive, new upper and lower bearings will be required. Service bearings are available in standard size and undersize. Refer to Crankshaft and Bearing Installation in the proper engine repair section. Selective fitting of crankshaft bearings are necessary in production to obtain close tolerances. For example, you may find one-half of a standard crankshaft bearing with one-half of an undersize crankshaft bearing. To determine the correct replacement bearing size, the bearing clearance must be measured accurately. Either of the following two methods may be used, however, the micrometer method gives more reliable results and is preferred. Micrometer Method

3 1. Measure the crankshaft journal diameter with a micrometer in several places, approximately 90 degrees apart, and average the measurements. 2. Compute taper and runout. Refer to Engine Specifications in the proper engine repair section for allowable limits. 3. Install crankshaft bearings into the crankshaft cap and engine block. 4. Install crankshaft caps and bolts. Tighten bolts to the Torque Specifications in the proper engine repair section. 5. Bearing inside diameter (I.D.) using an inside micrometer. 6. Compare crankshaft bearing clearance specifications using Engine Specifications in the proper engine repair section. 7. If bearing clearances exceeds specifications, install new crankshaft bearings. a. Measure inside diameter with an inside micrometer. Place the micrometer at 90 degrees to the split line of the crankshaft bearing.

Engine/eng

2-19

DRC6525

b. Subtract journal diameter from bearing inside diameter to obtain bearing clearance. Refer to Engine Specifications in the proper engine repair section for bearing inside clearance. Replace or repair the crankshaft if clearance exceeds specifications. Plastic Gauge Method

1 1. Install all crankshaft bearings and crankshaft into block. 1 Install the crankshaft bearing caps and torque them to specifications. Remove the bearing caps and check the amount the gauging plastic has been compressed. Gauging plastic may adhere to either the crankshaft bearing or crankshaft journal.

1 DRC6525

2 2. On the edge of the gauging plastic envelope there is a graduated scale. Without removing the gauging plastic, measure its compressed width (at the widest point). 3. If the flattened gauging plastic tapers toward the middle or ends, there is a difference in clearance indicating taper, low spot or other irregularity of the bearing or journal. 4. Normally crankshaft bearing journals wear evenly and are not outof-round. However, if a bearing is being fitted to an out-of-round 0.001 in. (0.0254 mm) maximum journal, be sure to fit to the maximum diameter of the journal. If the bearing is fitted to the minimum diameter and the journal is excessively out-of-round, interference between the bearing and the journal will result in rapid bearing failure.

2 DRC6527

5. If the bearing clearance is within specifications, the bearing is satisfactory. If the clearance is not within specifications, replace the bearing. Always replace both upper and lower bearings as a unit. 6. A standard or underside bearing combination may result in the proper clearance. If the proper bearing clearance cannot be achieved using standard or underside bearings, it will be necessary to replace the crankshaft. Crankshaft bearings must not be shimmed, scraped or filed. Do not touch the bearing surface with bare fingers. Skin oil and acids will etch the bearing surface. 7. Remove the flattened gaging plastic. 8. Measure remaining journals.

5 2. With crankshaft wedged forward, measure at the front end of the crankshaft bearing (thrust side) with a feeler gauge. Refer to Engine Specifications in the proper engine repair section for crankshaft end play clearance. 3. If correct end play cannot be obtained, be certain that the correct size crankshaft bearing has been installed. Some production engines may use crankshaft bearings that are wider across the thrust faces than standard size bearings. Refer to Engine Specifications in the proper engine repair section for available bearing sizes.

5 DRC6530

Inspect: Crankshaft for binding. Turn crankshaft to check for binding. If the crankshaft does not turn freely, loosen the crankshaft bearing bolts, one pair at a time, until the tight bearing is located. Burrs on the bearing cap, foreign matter between the bearing and the block or the bearing cap, or a faulty bearing could cause a lack of clearance at the bearing.

Installation Before installing any new lifters, coat the bottom of each lifter with Molykote Lubricant or its equivalent. 1. Install valve lifters in cylinder block. If any new lifters or a new camshaft has been installed, an additive containing EP lubricant such as GM Engine Super Oil Supplement must be added to the crankcase oil for break-in. 2. Install push rods onto lifters and install push rod cover with a new gasket. 3. Install distributor (position rotor to mark on housing and block). Install coil and bracket. Connect both connectors to coil. Install distributor cap and attach spark plug and coil wires. Connect both connectors to distributor. 4. Install shift bracket assembly. 5. Pivot rocker arms in place and turn adjusting nuts the amount necessary to eliminate lash.

Valve Lash Adjustment Adjust valve lash when lifter is on base circle of cam as follows: 1. Remove distributor cap and crank engine until distributor rotor points to number one cylinder terminal. In this position the piston in number one cylinder is at top center on compression stroke. Both lifters are on base circle of cam and both valves can be adjusted.

4 2. Turn adjusting nut until all lash is removed from valve train. This can be determined by checking push rod side play by hand while turning nut slowly. At this point, turn adjusting nut one more turn to place the lifter plunger in center of its travel. 3. Follow steps 1 and 2 for each cylinder following firing order sequence and adjust remaining valve one cylinder at a time. No further adjustment is necessary. Do not attempt to turn the adjusting nut one full turn while the engine is operating. Adjustment in this manner will not allow the lifters to bleed down. This would result in valve train damage, probably bent push rods. For those who prefer to adjust the valve lash while the engine is running, the preferred method would be to find the “zero lash” point as described above and then slowly turn the adjusting nut 1/4 turn. Wait for the lifter to bleed down (several engine revolutions) and again turn adjusting nut 1/4 turn. Continue this adjust-and-wait cycle until nut is one complete turn down from “zero lash” point. Repeat sequence on remaining valves.

4. Install rocker cover gasket and cover. Connect fuel line and fuel pump overflow hose to carburetor. 5. Install circuit breaker bracket. Connect crankcase ventilation hose. 6. Start engine and check for oil or fuel leaks and listen for lifter noise. Check engine timing.

Valve Spring and Seal Repair Removal 1. Remove rocker arm cover. 2. Remove spark plug, rocker arm, and push rod on the cylinder(s) to be serviced. 3. Install Air Line Adapter tool J-23590 to spark plug port and apply compressed air to hold the valves in place. 4. Using tool J-8062 to compress the valve spring, remove the valve locks, valve cap and valve spring and damper. 5. Remove the valve stem oil seal. Installation 1. Install seal over valve stem and seat against head. 2. Set the valve spring and damper, valve shield and valve cap in place. Compress the spring with tool J-8062 and install oil seal in the lower groove of the stem, making sure the seal is flat and not twisted. A light coat of oil on the seal will help prevent twisting. 3. Install the valve locks and release the compressor tool making sure the locks seat properly in the upper groove of the valve stem. Grease may be used to hold the locks in place while releasing the compressor tool. 4. Using Vacuum Pump J-23738-A, apply vacuum to the valve cap to make sure no air leaks past the seal. 5. Install spark plug and tighten to 20 ft. lb. (27 N m). •

6. Install and adjust valve mechanism as previously outlined.

Cylinder Head The condition of the cylinder head and valve mechanism significantly determines the power, performance and economy of the valve-in-head engine. Extreme care should be exercised when conditioning the cylinder head and valves. Maintain correct valve stem to guide clearance, correctly grind valves and valve seats, and properly adjust valves. Removal 1. Remove intake and exhaust manifold as described under heading Intake/Exhaust Manifold. 2. Disconnect coolant hoses at thermostat housing. Disconnect spark plug wires and remove spark plugs. 3. Disconnect fuel line retaining clips at thermostat housing and cylinder head. Disconnect wire harness from the temperature sending unit, leaving harness clear of clips on rocker arm cover. Remove thermostat housing assembly from front of cylinder head. Disconnect fuel line at the fuel pump and remove. 4. Remove the rocker arm cover. Next, back off the rocker arm nuts and pivot the rocker arms to clear the push rods. Remove the push rods. 5. Remove the ignition coil and bracket. 6. Remove the cylinder head bolts, cylinder head, and gasket. Place the cylinder head on two blocks of wood to prevent damage to the head. Disassembly

Cleaning

1 1. Clean all carbon from combustion chambers and valve ports

J 8089

using tool J-8089. Inspect the cylinder head for cracks in the exhaust ports, combustion chambers, or external cracks to the water chamber. Clean carbon deposits from head gasket mating surfaces.

2 2. Thoroughly clean the valve guides. Clean all carbon and sludge from push rods and rocker arms. 3. Clean valve stems and heads on a buffing wheel. Inspect the valve for burned head, worn seat, cracked faces, or damaged stems.

1 860003

4. Wash all parts in cleaning solvent and dry them thoroughly. Check fit of valve stems in their respective bores.

3 5. Measure valve stem clearance as follows: Clamp a dial indicator on one side of the cylinder head rocker arm cover gasket rail, locating the indicator so that movement of the valve stem from side to side (crosswise to the head) will cause a direct movement of the indicator stem. The indicator stem must contact the side of the valve stem just above the valve guide. With the valve head dropped about 1/16 in. off the valve seat; move the stem of the valve from side to side using light pressure to obtain a clearance reading. If clearance exceeds specifications it will be necessary to ream valve guides for oversize valves as outlined. Excessive valve stem to bore clearance will cause lack of power, oil consumption, rough idling and noisy valves, and may cause valve breakage. Insufficient clearance will result in noisy and sticky functioning of the valves and disturb engine smoothness of operation. Intake valve stem to bore clearance should be 0.001-0.0027 in. (0,0250,007 mm). Exhaust valve stem to bore clearance should be 0.00070.0027 (0,01778-0,06858 mm). By using a micrometer and a suitable hole gauge, check the diameter of the valve stem in three places; top, center and bottom. Insert hole gauge in valve guide bore, measuring at the center. Subtract highest reading of valve stem diameter from valve guide bore center diameter to obtain valve to valve guide clearance. If clearance is not within limits use next oversize valve and ream bore to fit using suitable reamer.

2 860004

J 8520

4 6. Check valve spring tension with tool J-9666 spring tester. On all models, springs should be compressed to 1.61 in. (40,89 mm) at which height it should check 100-110 pounds (444-490 N). Weak springs affect power and economy and should be replaced.

2. Rocker Arm Studs

J 5802-01

Rocker arm studs that have damaged threads may be replaced with standard studs. If the studs are loose in the head, oversize studs (available in .003 in. or .013 in. oversize) may be installed after reaming the holes as follows: Do not attempt to install oversize stud without reaming stud

b. Ream hole for oversize stud. Use tooI J-5715 for 0.003 in. oversize and tool J-6036 for 0.013 in. oversize.

8

c. Coat press-fit area of stud with a hypoid axle lubricant. Install new stud using tool J-6880. Tool should bottom on head.

J 5715 or J 6036

3. Valve Seats: Reconditioning the valve seats is very important, because the seating of the valve must be perfect for the engine to deliver the power and performance built into it.

7 860009

Another important factor is the cooling of the valve heads. Good contact between each valve and its seat in the head is imperative to ensure that the heat in the valve head will be properly carried away.

J 6880

Several different types of equipment are available for reseating valve seats; the recommendations of the manufacturer of the equipment being used should be carefully followed to attain proper results.

8 860010

Engine/eng

3-9

Regardless of what type of equipment is used, however, it is essential that valve guides be free from carbon or dirt to ensure proper centering of pilot in the guide. a. Install expanding pilot in the valve guide bore and expand pilot by tightening nut on top of pilot. b. Place roughing stone or forming stone over pilot and just clean up the valve seat. Use a 46° stone for both the inlet and exhaust valve seats. c. Remove roughing stone or forming stone from pilot, install finishing stone on pilot and cut just enough metal from the seat to provide a smooth finish. d. Narrow down the valve seats to the proper width for the intake and exhaust. See Engine Specifications. This operation is done by grinding the port side with a 30° stone to lower seat and a 60° stone to raise seat.

J 8001

e. Remove expanding pilot and clean cylinder head carefully to remove all chips and grindings from above operations.

1

Valve seats should be concentric to within 0.002 in. total indicator reading. 4. Valves: Valves that are pitted can be refaced to the proper angle, ensuring correct relation between the head and stem on a valve refacing machine. Valve stems which show excessive wear, or valves that are warped excessively should be replaced. When a valve head which is warped excessively is refaced, a knife edge will be ground on part or all of the valve head due to the amount of metal that must be removed to completely reface. Knife edges lead to breakage, burning or preignition due to heat localizing on this knife edge. If the edge of the valve head is less than 1/32 in. thick after grinding, replace the valve.

1 860011

a. If necessary, dress the valve refacing machine grinding wheel to make sure it is smooth and true. Set chuck at 45° mark for grinding valves. b. Clamp the valve stem in the chuck of the machine. c. Start the grinder and move the valve head out in line with the grinder wheel by moving the lever to the left. d. Turn the feed screw until the valve head just contacts wheel. Move valve back and forth across the wheel and regulate the feed screw to provide light valve contact.

3-10

Engine/eng

e. Continue grinding until the valve face is true and smooth all around valve. If this makes the valve thin the valve must be replaced as the valve will overheat and burn.

D B B A A

C

2 1. Starting with number one cylinder, place the exhaust valve in the port, and place the valve spring A and cap B in position. Place spring and cap on exhaust valves. Then, using tool J-8062, compress the spring and install the oil seal C and valve keys D . See that the seal is flat and not twisted in the valve stem groove and that the keys seat properly in the valve stem groove. Place valve springs in position with the closed coil end toward the cylinder head. 2. Assemble the remaining valve, valve springs, spring caps, oil seals and valve keys in the cylinder head using tool J-8062. Check seals by placing a vacuum cup over valve stem and cap, squeeze vacuum cup to make sure no oil leaks past oil seal. 3. Check the installed height of the valve springs using a narrow, thin scale to measure from the top of the shim or spring seat in the head, to the top of the valve spring cap. If this is found in excess of 1.65 in. (41,91 mm), install a valve spring seat shim, approximately 1/16 in. (1,858 mm) thick. At no time should the spring be shimmed to give an installed height of less than 1.65 in. (41,91 mm). If springs are to be changed with cylinder head installed, refer to Valve Spring and Seal Repair, in this section.

7. Remove the camshaft and gear assembly by pulling it out through the front of the block. Support shaft carefully when removing so as not to damage camshaft bearings. Inspection The camshaft has three bearings, all with the same journal diameter of 1.8677 in. to 1.8697 in. (47,440 to 47,490 mm). These dimensions should be checked with a micrometer for an out-of- round condition. If the journals exceed 0.001 in. (0,025 mm) out-of-round, the camshaft should be replaced. The camshaft should also be checked for alignment. The best method is by use of “V” blocks and a dial indicator. The dial indicator will indicate the exact amount that the camshaft is out of true. If it is out more than 0.002 in. (0,051 mm) dial indicator reading, the camshaft should be replaced. When checking, the high reading of the dial indicator indicates the high point of the shaft. Examine the camshaft bearings and if any bearing needs replacement, replace all bearings. Gear and Thrust Plate

1 If the inspection indicated that the camshaft, gear and thrust plate were in good condition, the camshaft end play should be checked. This clearance should be 0.003 in. to 0.008 in. (0,0762 to 0.2032 mm). Disassembly

2 If the inspection indicated that the shaft, gear or plate should be replaced, the gear must be removed from the shaft. Support the camshaft gear and press shaft out of gear. Thrust plate must be positioned so that woodruff key in shaft does not damage it when shaft is pressed out of gear. Also, support the hub of the gear or the gear will be seriously damaged.

1 860028

Assembly To assemble camshaft gear thrust plate and gear spacer ring to camshaft, proceed as follows: 1. Firmly support shaft at back of front journal in an arbor press. Place gear spacer ring and thrust plate over end of shaft, and install woodruff key in shaft keyway. 2. Install camshaft gear and press it onto the shaft until it bottoms against the gear spacer ring. The end clearance of the thrust plate should be 0.003-0.008 in. (0,0762-0,2032 mm)

Crankshaft Removal and Installation 1. Remove main bearing caps and connecting rod caps and lift crankshaft out of cylinder block. Push pistons to top of bores. 2. Inspect the crankshaft: Main bearing journals are ground to 2.979-2.994 in. (58,3666-58,4047 mm). Crankpin journals are ground to 2.099-2.100 in. (53,315-53,340). These dimensions should be checked with a micrometer for out-of-round, taper or undersize. If the journals exceed 0.001 in. (0,025 mm) out-ofround or taper, the crankshaft should be replaced or reconditioned to an undersize figure that will enable the installation of undersize precision type bearings. The crankshaft should also be checked for runout. To perform this operation, support the crankshaft at the front and rear main bearing journals in “V” blocks, and indicate the runout of both the front center and rear center journals using a dial indicator. The runout limit of each of these journals is 0.002 in. (0,051 mm). If the runout exceeds 0.002 in. (0,051 mm), the crankshaft must be repaired or replaced. 3. Remove rear main bearing oil seal. 4. Remove old bearings from cylinder block and caps. Install new bearings in the cylinder block and caps. Main bearings with oil holes are the upper halves of the bearings and are inserted between the crankshaft and cylinder block. 5. Oil crankshaft journals and carefully place the crankshaft in the bearings.

Engine/eng

6. Install all bearing caps and bolts. Tighten all main bearing cap bolts, except the rear main bearing, to 55-70 ft. lb. (75-95 N m). When tightening rear main bearing cap, tighten bolts to 10-12 ft. lb. (14-16 N m) first, then tap end of crankshaft rearward with a lead hammer (this will locate bearing cap and bearing). Then tap crankshaft forward (this will line up both upper and lower crankshaft bearing thrust surfaces). Proceed with final tightening of rear main bearing cap bolts to 55-70 ft. lb. (75-95 N m). •

•

•

7. Check main bearing clearance and crankshaft end play. Install new rear bearing oil seal. Install connecting rod bearings and caps.

Connecting Rod Bearings 1

Connecting rod bearings are available in standard sizes and undersizes of 0.001 in., 0.002 in., 0.010 in. and 0.020 in. (0.025, 0.051, 0.254, 0.508 mm). These bearings are not shimmed and when clearances become excessive the next undersize bearing should be used. Do not file rod or rod caps. Removal and Inspection 1. Withdraw oil, disconnect oil drain tube and remove oil pan. 2. Remove the connecting rod bearing cap. Wipe bearing and crankpin clean of oil.

1 3. Place a piece of Plastigage gauging plastic the full width of the bearing on crankpin (parallel to the crankshaft).

1 860037

4. Reinstall the bearing cap and evenly tighten the retaining nuts to 35 ft. lb. (47 N m). •

Do not turn crankshaft with the gauging plastic installed.

2 5. Remove the bearing cap and, without removing the gauging plastic, check its width at the widest point with the Plastigage scale. If the crankpin is out-of-round be sure to fit the bearing to the maximum diameter of the crankpin. If the flattened plastic is not uniform from end to end in its width, the crankpin or bearing is tapered, has a low spot or some other irregularity. Check the crankpin with a micrometer for taper if the flattened gauging plastic indicates more than 0.001 in. (0,025 mm) difference.

2 860038

3-20

Engine/eng

6. If the reading is not over 0.0009 in. (0,0229 mm) or not less than 0.0014 in. (0,0356 mm) the fit is satisfactory. If however, the clearances are not within these limits, replace the bearing with the proper undersize bearing. The bearings are not adjustable and no attempt should be made to adjust by filing or shimming the bearing caps. Installation New bearing clearance should be 0.0017-0.0027 in. (0,04318-0.06858 mm). 1. Rotate the crankshaft after bearing adjustment to be sure the bearings are not too tight.

3 2. Check connecting rod end clearance between connecting rod cap and side of crankpin. See Engine Specifications for clearance. 3. Install oil pan with new gaskets and seals. Connect oil drain tube. Refill with engine oil.

Crankshaft Bearings The main bearings are of the precision insert type and do not utilize shims for adjustment. If the clearances are found to be excessive, a new standard or oversize bearing, both upper and lower halves, will be required. If, for any reason, main bearing caps are replaced, shimming may be necessary. Laminated shims for each cap are available for service. Shim requirements will be determined by bearing clearance. The clearance may be checked by using Plastigage gauging plastic. When one bearing is being checked, all the other main bearing caps must be in place and tightened to specifications. The main bearings used as service replacement are of high quality with close tolerances of fit and will not require line reaming on installations. The close dimensional tolerances ensure an equalized bearing surface at all points on the crankshaft when replaced in sets. Main bearings may be replaced without removing the crankshaft. 1. Withdraw oil from crankcase. Disconnect oil drain tube. Remove the oil pan.

Engine/eng

2. Remove the spark plugs. 3. Remove cap on main bearing requiring replacement and remove bearing from cap. Install a main bearing removing and installing tool in the oil hole in the crankshaft. A cotter pin may be bent as required to do the job. 4. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine. This will roll upper bearing out of engine. 5. Oil new upper bearing and insert plain (unnotched) end of the bearing between crankshaft and indented or notched side. Rotate the bearing into place. 6. Install new bearing in bearing cap. The rear main bearing journal has no oil hole drilling. To remove the upper bearing half proceed as follows after cap is removed: a. Use a small drift punch and hammer to start the bearing rotating out of block.

1

b. Use a pair of pliers to hold the bearing thrust surface to the oil slinger, and rotate the crankshaft to pull bearing out. c. To install, start the bearing (side not notched) into notched side of block by hand, then use pliers as before to turn bearing half into place. d. The last 1/4 in. (6,35 mm) movement may be done by holding just the slinger with pliers (taped jaws) or tap in place with a drift punch.

7. Check bearing clearance per paragraph below. Main Bearing Clearance Plastigage gauging plastic is a wax-like plastic material which will compress evenly between the bearing and journal surfaces without damaging either surface. To obtain the most accurate results with gauging plastic, certain precautions should be observed. If the engine is upside down, the crankshaft will rest on the upper bearings and it can be assumed that the total clearance can be measured between the cap bearing and journal.

1 860040

To ensure the proper seating of the crankshaft, the rear main bearing oil seal should be removed and all bearing cap bolts should be at their specified torque. In addition, preparatory to checking fit of bearings, the surface of the crankshaft journal and bearing should be wiped clean of oil. 1. Starting with the rear main bearing, remove bearing cap. Wipe oil from journal and bearing cap before applying gauging plastic.

3-22

Engine/eng

2 2. Place a piece of plastigage the full width of the bearing (parallel

1

to the crankshaft) on the journal. Do not rotate the crankshaft while the gauging plastic is between the bearing and journal. 3. Install the bearing cap and evenly tighten the retaining bolts to 55-70 ft. lb. (75-95 N m). •

4. Remove bearing cap. The flattened gauging plastic will be found adhering to either the bearing or journal. On the edge of gauging plastic packing envelope there is a graduated scale measuring in thousandths of an inch.

2 860041

3 5. Without removing the gauging plastic, check its compressed width (at the widest point) with the graduations on the gauging plastic envelope. Normally, main bearing journals wear evenly and are not outof-round. However, if a bearing is being fitted to an out-of- round journal be sure to fit to the maximum diameter of the journal. If the bearing is fitted to the minimum diameter of the journal, and the journal is out-ofround 0.001 in. (0.025 mm) or more, interference between the bearing and journal will result in rapid bearing failure. If the flattened gauging plastic tapers toward the middle or ends, there is a difference in clearance indicating a taper, low spot, or other irregularity of the bearing or journal. Be sure to check the journal with a micrometer if the flattened gauging plastic indicates more than 0.001 in. (0.025 mm) difference. 6. If the bearing clearance is not over 0.0035 in. (0.0889 mm) (worn) or 0.003 in. (0.076 mm) (new), or less than 0.001 in. (0.025 mm), the bearing is satisfactory. If the clearance is not within these limits replace the bearing. If a new bearing cap is being installed and clearance is less than 0.001 in. (0.025 mm), check for burrs or nicks; if none are found then install shims as required. 7. A 0.002 in. (0.051 mm) undersize bearing may produce the proper clearance. If not, it will be necessary to regrind the crankshaft journal for use with the next undersize bearing. Bearings are available in standard sizes and various undersizes. See your parts catalog. 8. Oil new bearings with engine oil prior to installing end caps. Proceed to the next bearing. After all bearings have been checked, rotate the crankshaft to see that there is no excessive drag.

Engine/eng

3-23

3 860042

1 9. Check the end play by forcing the crankshaft to its extreme front position. Check at the front side of the rear main bearing with a feeler gauge. This clearance should be from 0.002-0.006 in. (0,0510,152 mm). 10. Install a new rear main bearing oil seal in the cylinder block and main bearing oil cap as described below.

Rear Main Bearing Oil Seal Replacement Care should be taken when removing the rear crankshaft oil seal so as not to nick the crankshaft sealing surface.

2 1.Insert a screwdriver into the notches provided in the seal retainer and pry the seal out. Take care not to damage the crankshaft sealing surface.

1 860043

2. Inspect chamfer on crankshaft for grit, loose rust, and burrs. Clean seal running surface on the crankshaft with a non-abrasive cleaner.

3 3. Lubricate the inner and outer diameter of new seal with engine oil. Install the seal on J-35621. Position J-35621 against the crankshaft. Thread the attaching screws into the tapped holes in the crankshaft. 4. Tighten screws securely. This will ensure the seal is installed squarely over the crankshaft. Turn handle until it bottoms then remove J-35621.

Oil Seal Retainer Replacement 1. Remove Flywheel and oil pan. Remove screws, nuts and seal retainer. Remove gasket. 2. Remove rear crankcase oil seal as previously stated and clean gasket surfaces on block and seal retainer. Whenever seal retainer is removed, a new retainer gasket and rear crankshaft oil seal must be installed.

3. Remove any ridge and/or deposits from the upper end of the cylinder bores with a ridge reamer. Move piston to the bottom of its travel and place a cloth on top of piston to collect the cuttings. After ridge and/or deposits are removed, turn crankshaft until piston is at the top of its stroke and carefully remove cloth with the cuttings. 4. Check connecting rods and pistons for cylinder number identification and if necessary, mark them. 5. Remove connecting rod cap nuts and caps. Push the rods away from the crankshaft and install caps and nuts loosely to their respective rods. 6. Push piston and rod assemblies away from crankshaft and out of the cylinders. It will be necessary to turn the crankshaft slightly to disconnect some of the rods and push them out of the cylinder. Piston and Rod Disassembly 1. Install pilot of piston pin removing and installing tool J-24086 on piston pin.

4 2. Install piston and connecting rod assembly on support and place J 24086-C

assembly in an arbor press. Press pin out of connecting rod. 3. Remove assembly from press. Remove piston pin from support and remove tool from piston and rod. 4. Piston pins are a matched fit to the piston and not available separately. Piston pins will not become loose enough to cause a knock or tapping until after prolonged use. In such cases a new piston and pin assembly should be installed. Piston pins should be capable of supporting their own weight in either pin boss when coated with light engine oil at 60° F (16° C). Higher or lower temperatures will cause false indications. Pistons and pins are serviced as assemblies. Check fit of used piston pins. Use a dial bore gauge or telescoping snap gauge for the bore, and a micrometer for the pin. Wear limit on piston pin is production clearance plus 0.001 in. (0,025 mm). Replace piston and pin assembly if wear is excessive. Cleaning and Inspection Clean varnish from piston skirts and pins with a cleaning solvent. DO NOT WIRE BRUSH THE PISTON SKIRT. Clean the ring grooves with a groove cleaner, and make sure oil ring holes and slots are clean.

4. Place installer on arbor press, start pin into piston and press on installer until pin pilot bottoms. 5. Remove installer and support assembly from piston and connecting rod assembly. Check piston pin for freedom of movement in piston bore.

Piston Rings

1 860047

Piston rings are furnished in standard sizes as well as several oversizes. See your parts catalog. Oil control rings used on all engines consist of two segments (rails) and a spacer. Compression rings in all engines are the deep section twist type, 0.0775-0.0780 in. (1,969-1,981 mm) wide. This type compression ring takes its name, twist type, from its installed position which is cocked or twisted. It assumes and maintains this position for life because the upper edge of its diameter is chamfered, making the ring unbalanced in cross section. All compression rings are marked on the upper side of the ring. When installing compression rings, make sure the marked side is toward the top of the piston. Removal 1. Remove piston rings by expanding them and sliding them off the ends of the piston.

3-26

Engine/eng

2. Check piston ring grooves by carefully removing all particles of carbon. Also check for burrs or nicks that might cause rings to hang up. Installation 1. Select rings comparable in size to the piston being used. It is important that each ring be fitted to its individual cylinder for proper gap spacing and to its individual piston and groove for proper clearance. 2. Slip the ring in the cylinder bore; then, using the head of a piston, press the ring down into the cylinder bore about two inches. Using a piston in this way will place the ring square with the cylinder walls.

2 3. Check the space or gap between the ends of the ring with a feeler gauge. 4. If the gap between the ends of the ring is below specifications, remove the ring and try another for fit. 5. Fit each ring separately to the cylinder in which it is going to be used. 6. New pistons, rings and cylinder bores wear considerably during seating and gaps widen quickly; however, engine operation will not become seriously affected if ring gaps do not become greater that 1/32 in. (0,792 mm).

2 860048

3 7. Slip the outer surface of the compression ring into the piston ring groove. Roll the ring entirely around the groove to make sure that the ring is free and does not bind in the groove at any point. If binding occurs, the cause should be determined and removed by carefully dressing with a fine cut file. However, if the binding is caused by a distorted ring, install a new ring. 8. Install the oil ring spacer in the oil ring groove and position gap in line with piston hole. Hold spacer ends butted and install steel rail on top side of spacer. Position gap at least one inch to left of spacer gap, then install second rail on lower side of spacer. Position gap at least one inch to right of spacer gap. 9. Flex the oil ring assembly in its groove to make sure ring is free and does not bind in the groove at any point. If binding occurs, the cause should be determined and removed by carefully dressing with a fine cut file. However, if the binding is caused by a distorted ring, install a new ring.

1 10. Proper clearance of the piston ring in its piston ring groove is very important in maintaining engine performance and in preventing excessive oil consumption. Therefore, when fitting new rings, the clearances between the top and bottom surfaces of the ring grooves should be inspected.

1 11. The compression rings should be fitted so that the clearance is 0.0012-0.0029 in. (0,03048-0,07366 mm). 12. Assemble the rings to the pistons as they are fitted and make a final test of the ring fit in the grooves by repeating the fitting procedure given above.

1 860050

Expander ends must not align with the ring gap. Piston and Rod Installation 1. Lightly coat pistons, rings and cylinder walls with light engine oil.

2 2. With bearing caps removed, install tool J-5239 on bearing cap bolts.

FACING FRONT OF ENGINE BLOCK

3 3. Install each piston in its respective bore, using tool J2 8037 on each assembly. The side of the piston with the cast depression in the head should be to the front of the cylinder block and the oil hole on connecting rod toward the camshaft side of the engine. Guide the connecting rod bearing into place on the crankshaft journals with the long detail of tool J-5239. Use J-8037 to compress piston rings. 4. Oil bearings and install bearing caps. Install cap retaining screws and nuts. Tighten nuts to 45 ft. lb. (61 N m). Check the bearing clearance as described previously. •

5. Install oil pan gaskets, seals and oil pan. See Oil Pan. Connect oil drain tube. 6. Install cylinder head gasket and head. See Cylinder Head Installation.

4 2. Check the cylinder walls for taper, out-of-round or excessive ridge at top of ring travel. This should be done with a dial indicator (use Tool J-8087). Set the gauge so that the thrust pin must be forced in about 1/4in. (6,35 mm) to enter gauge in cylinder bore. Center gauge in cylinder and turn dial to “O”. Carefully work gauge up and down cylinder to determine taper and turn it to different points around cylinder wall to determine the out-of-round condition. If cylinders were found to have more than 0.002 in. (0,051 mm) out-of-round, boring will be necessary.

J 8087

Repair The performance of the following operations is contingent upon engine condition at time of repair. If the cylinder block inspection indicated that the block was suitable for continued use except for out-of-round or tapered cylinders, they can be conditioned by honing, or boring and honing. If the cylinders were found to have less than 0.005 in. (0,127 mm) taper or wear, they can be conditioned with a hone and fitted with 0.001 in. (0,025 mm) oversize pistons. A cylinder bore of less than 0.005 in. (0,127 mm) wear or taper may not entirely clean up when fitted to a 0.001 in. (0,025 mm) oversize piston. If it is desired to entirely clean up the bore in these cases, it will be necessary to rebore for an oversize piston. If more than 0.005 in. taper or wear exists, they should be bored and honed to the smallest oversize that will permit complete resurfacing of all cylinders. Piston Selection Replacement pistons are available in two sizes, see the appropriate parts catalog for part numbers. The size identification of the piston is marked in ink on the piston top. To determine the correct size of piston needed, measure the cylinder bore with a telescope gauge and micrometer, and subtract the base cylinder bore diameter, 4.000 in. (10,160 cm) from the measured diameter. Next locate this dimension on the Piston Selection Chart. The number shown on the chart in the box above the dimension is the marking on the piston which should be used.

Boring 1. Before using any type boring bar, the top of the cylinder block should be dressed to remove any dirt or burrs. This is very important. Otherwise, the boring bar may be tilted which would result in the rebored cylinder wall not being at right angles to the crankshaft. 2. The piston to be fitted should be checked with a micrometer, measuring just below the lower ring groove and at right angles to the piston pin. The cylinder should be bored to the same diameter as the piston and honed to give a clearance of 0.0025-0.0035 in. (0,064-0,089 mm). 3. The instructions furnished by the manufacturer of the equipment being used should be carefully followed.

Engine/eng

Honing and Piston Fit 1. When the cylinders are to be honed only for use of a standard piston or for final finishing after they have been rebored to within 0.002 in. (0,051 mm) of the desired size, they should be finished with a hone. Rough stones may be used at first and fine stones for the final operation.

1 2. Place the hone into a cylinder bore and expand the stones until the hone can just be turned by hand. Connect a 1/2 in. (0,217 mm) electric drill to the hone and drive hone at drill speed while moving hone up and down entire length of cylinder until hone begins to run free. During this operation a liberal amount of kerosene should be used as a cutting fluid to keep the stones of the hone clean. Move hone slowly up and down with rough stones, but move hone up and down rapidly enough with the fine stones to produce a final bore finish of very fine surface scratches in a cross-hatch pattern of approximately 45° to 60°. The marks should be clean but not sharp, and free from embedded particles or torn or folded metal. 3. Expand the stones against the cylinder bore and repeat the honing operation until the desired bore diameter is obtained. 4. Occasionally during the honing operation, the cylinder bore should be thoroughly cleaned and the piston selected for the individual cylinder checked for correct fit. 5. Check fit of the aluminum pistons in the following manner: Thoroughly clean cylinder bores with soap and hot water to remove all grit particles. a. Measure the cylinder bore diameter with a telescope gauge and micrometer 2-1/2 inches (6,35 cm) from top of cylinder bore at 90° from crankshaft axis. b. Next measure the diameter of the piston skirt just below the lower ring groove and at right angles to the piston pin. c. If the difference is greater than the maximum allowable (see Boring, step 2), try another piston or lightly hone the cylinder bore to obtain the proper fit. d. Should the difference be less than the minimum allowable (see Boring, step 2), try another piston. If proper fit cannot be obtained, it will be necessary to rebore the cylinder to the next oversize piston. e. Mark each piston after fitting to correspond with the cylinder to which it has been fitted. Proceed to hone cylinders and fit the remaining pistons.

Engine/eng

Handle the pistons with care and do not attempt to force them through the cylinder until the cylinder has been bored to correct size. This type piston can be distorted through careless handling. 6. Thoroughly clean the cylinder bores with hot water and soap. Scrub well with a stiff bristle brush and rinse thoroughly with hot water. It is extremely essential that a good cleaning operation be performed. If any of the abrasive material is allowed to remain in the cylinder bores, it will rapidly wear the new rings and cylinder bores. In addition, the bearing will be lubricated by the contaminated oil. The bores should be swabbed several times with light engine oil and a clean cloth and then wiped with a clean dry cloth. Cylinder should not be cleaned with kerosene or gasoline. Clean the remainder of the cylinder block to remove the excess material spread during the honing operation.

1 860054

Distributor Lower Bearing The distributor lower bearing is a bronze bushing pressed into the lower side of the engine block. Its upper inside diameter pilots the distributor shaft, and the outside diameter extending below the block pilots the oil pump. Some engines have a thrust washer at the upper end of the bushing bore. The thrust washer, where used, may be replaced at the same time the bushing is replaced. The lower bushing will ordinarily require only a clearance or wear check during engine overhaul. When distributor shaft-to-bushing clearance exceeds 0.0035 in. (0,0889 mm) the bushing should be replaced as follows with oil pump and distributor removed:

Oil Pump 1 The oil pump consists of two gears

A

and a pressure relief valve enclosed in a two-piece housing . The pump is driven from the distributor driveshaft which in turn is driven by a helix gear on the camshaft. B

C

The oil pump is flange mounted to the cylinder block with two bolts, and piloted on the outside of the lower distributor bronze bearing. Oil pressure passes through an opening in the mounting flange to the cylinder block, then into the full flow oil filter. The pump cover is equipped with the pressure regulator valve that regulates oil pressure at approximately 40-60 PSI (135.1-202.6 kPa) at 2000 RPM. The pump intake is of the fixed screen type. A mesh screen D filters out small particles of dirt and sludge which may be present. A baffle incorporated on the intake screen has been designed to eliminate pressure loss due to sudden surging stops, turns, and acceleration. In the event that a screen becomes plugged a steel grommet opens and bypasses oil to the pump. Removal and Disassembly 1. Withdraw oil. Disconnect oil withdrawal tube. Remove screws, oil pan and gasket. Remove oil withdrawal tube fitting from oil pan.

Safety Warnings Before working on any part of the engine, read the Safety section at the end of this manual. Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The text will call out those fasteners that require replacement after removal. The text will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplement coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and tightening specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

General Description Engine Construction The 4.3L engine is a liquid-cooled 90 degree V6 type with overhead valves, a balance shaft, and cast-iron block and cylinder heads. Cylinder Block The cylinder block has 6 cylinders arranged in a “V” shape with 3 cylinders in each bank. Starting at the front of the engine, cylinders in the right bank are numbered 1-3-5 and cylinders in the left bank are numbered 2-4-6 (when viewed from the front). The firing order of the cylinders is 1-6-5-4-3-2. The cylinders are encircled by coolant jackets. Cylinder Heads The cylinder heads have one intake and one exhaust valve for each cylinder. A spark plug is located between the valves in the side of the cylinder head. The valve guides are integral and the valve rocker arms are retained on individual threaded studs. Crankshaft The crankshaft is supported by four crankshaft bearings. The number four bearing at the rear of the engine is the end thrust bearing. The bearings are retained by bearing caps that are machined with the block for proper alignment and clearances. Camshaft The camshaft is supported by four full round, sleeve-type bearings. A sprocket on the crankshaft drives a camshaft timing chain which in turn drives the camshaft through a sprocket. Pistons and Connecting Rods The pistons are made of cast-aluminum alloy using two compression rings and one oil control ring assembly. Piston pins are offset 0.0354 in. (0,9 mm) toward the major thrust side (right side) to reduce piston slap as the connecting rod travels from one side of the piston to the other side after a stroke. The pins are a press fit in the connecting rod and a floating fit in the piston. Balance Shaft The cast-iron balance shaft is mounted in the crankcase above and inline with the camshaft. A camshaft gear drives the gear attached to the balance shaft. The front end of the balance shaft is supported by a ball-type bearing. The rear end of the balance shaft uses a sleevetype bearing.

4-2

Engine/eng

Valve Train The valve train is a ball-pivot type. Motion is transmitted from the camshaft through the valve lifter and valve push rod to the valve rocker arm. The valve rocker arm pivots on its ball and transmits the camshaft motion to the valve. The valve lifters with roller followers keep all parts of the valve train in constant contact. Each lifter acts as an automatic adjuster and maintains zero lash in the valve train. This eliminates the need for periodic valve adjustment. Intake Manifold The intake manifold assembly is a two-piece design. The upper portion is made from a composite material and lower portion is cast-aluminum. The throttle body attaches to the upper manifold.

Tools and Shop Equipment A clean, well-lit, work area should be available. Other necessary equipment includes: a suitable parts cleaning tank, compressed air supply, trays to keep parts and fasteners organized, and an adequate set of hand tools. An approved engine repair stand will help aid with the work and help prevent personal injury or component damage. Special tools are listed and illustrated throughout this section with a complete listing at the end of the section. These tools (or their equivalents) are specially designed to quickly and safely accomplish the operations for which they are intended. The use of these special tools will also minimize possible damage to engine components. Some precision measuring tools are required for inspection of certain critical components. Torque wrenches are necessary for the correct assembly of various parts.

Engine Lubrication 1 Full pressure lubrication, through a full-flow oil filter is supplied by a gear-type oil pump. Oil is drawn up through the oil pump screen and passes through the pump to the oil filter. The oil filter is a full-flow paper element unit with an anti-drain back valve. An oil filter bypass valve is used to ensure adequate oil supply, in the event the filter becomes plugged or develops excessive pressure drop.

Engine/eng

Filtered oil flows into the main gallery and then to the camshaft, balance shaft, rear bearing, and crankshaft bearings. The valve lifter oil gallery supplies oil to the valve lifters. Oil flows from the valve lifters through the hollow valve push rods to the valve rocker arms. Oil drains back to the crankcase through oil drain holes in the cylinder head. The camshaft timing chain is drip fed from the front camshaft bearing. The pistons and piston pins are lubricated by oil splash.

Safety Warnings Before working on any part of the engine, read the Safety section at the end of this manual. Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The text will call out those fasteners that require replacement after removal. The text will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplement coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and tightening specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

General Description Cylinder Block The engine block is made of cast iron and has eight cylinders arranged in a “V” shape with four cylinders in each bank. It is a one piece casting with the cylinders encircled by coolant jackets. Cylinder Head The cylinder heads are cast iron. The valve guides and valve seats are machined surfaces integral to the head. The spark plugs are located between the intake and exhaust ports. Camshaft A steel camshaft is supported by five bearings pressed into the engine block. The camshaft sprocket, mounted to the front of the camshaft is driven by the crankshaft sprocket through a camshaft timing chain. Motion from the camshaft is transmitted to the valves by hydraulic roller valve lifters, valve push rods, and ball-pivot type rocker arms. Crankshaft The crankshaft is made of cast nodular iron. It is supported by five crankshaft bearings that are retained by crankshaft bearing caps which are machined with the block for proper alignment and clearances. Light duty 5.0L and 5.7L engines have two bolts per cap. Heavy duty 5.7L engines have four bolts per cap on caps two, three, and four. The number five crankshaft bearing at the rear of the engine is the end thrust bearing. Four connecting rod journals (two rods per journal) are spaced 90 degrees apart. Pistons and Connecting Rods The pistons are cast aluminum that use two compression rings and one oil control ring assembly. The piston is a low-friction, lightweight design with a flat top and barrel-shaped skirt. The piston pins are chromium steel. They have a floating fit in the piston and are retained by a press fit in the connecting rod assembly. The connecting rods are made out of either forged powdered metal or forged steel. They are machined with the rod cap installed for proper clearances and alignment. Lubrication The gear-type oil pump is driven through an extension driveshaft. The extension driveshaft is driven by the distributor which is gear driven by the camshaft. The oil is drawn from the oil pan through a pickup screen and tube. Pressurized oil is delivered through internal passages to lubricate camshaft and crankshaft bearings and to provide valve lash control in the hydraulic valve lifters. Oil is metered from the valve lifters through the valve push rods to lubricate the valve rocker arms and ball pivots. Oil returning to the oil pan from the cylinder heads and the front camshaft bearing, lubricates the camshaft timing chain and crankshaft and camshaft sprockets.

5-2

Engine/eng

Valve Train The valve train is a ball pivot type. Motion is transmitted from the camshaft through hydraulic roller valve lifters and tubular valve push rods to the valve rocker arms. The valve rocker arm pivots on a ball to open the valve. The hydraulic roller valve lifters keep all parts of the valve train in constant contact. The valve rocker arm ball is retained on the valve rocker arm stud with a locking nut. The valve rocker arm studs are pressed into the cylinder head. Intake Manifold The intake manifold is a single piece design. It supports either a throttle body or multiple injectors to meter and distribute fuel to each engine cylinder.

Cleaning Before cleaning the engine, remove the engine accessories to provide better access to the engine’s exterior surfaces. After removing the throttle body, distributor, etc., cover the openings with tape to prevent the entry of coolant, solvent, or dirt. Methods used to clean the engine will depend on what equipment is available. Steam cleaning, pressure washing, or solvent cleaning are some acceptable methods. Allow the engine to dry before beginning the work. It is important that the engine be as clean as possible to prevent dirt from entering critical areas during disassembly.

Engine Lubrication 1

3 Full pressure lubrication, through a full-flow oil filter is

supplied by a gear-type oil pump. Oil is drawn up through the oil pump screen and passes through the pump to the oil filter. The oil filter is a full-flow paper element unit with an anti-drain back valve. An oil filter bypass valve is used to ensure adequate oil supply, in the event the filter becomes plugged or develops excessive pressure drop. Filtered oil flows into the main gallery and then to the camshaft, rear bearing, and crankshaft bearings. The valve lifter oil gallery supplies oil to the valve lifters. Oil flows from the valve lifters through the hollow valve push rods to the valve rocker arms. Oil drains back to the crankcase through oil drain holes in the cylinder head. The camshaft timing chain is drip fed from the front camshaft bearing. The pistons and piston pins are lubricated by oil splash.

Tools and Shop Equipment A clean, well lit work area should be available. Other necessary equipment includes: a suitable parts cleaning tank, compressed air supply, trays to keep parts and fasteners organized, and an adequate set of hand tools. An approved engine repair stand will help prevent personal injury or damage to engine components. Special tools are illustrated throughout this section and listed at its end. These tools (or their equivalents) are specially designed to quickly and safely accomplish the operations for which they are intended. The use of these tools will also minimize possible damage to engine components. Some precision measuring tools are required for inspection of certain critical components. Torque wrenches will be necessary to correctly tighten various fasteners. Those fasteners will be called out within this section.

Cleaning, Inspection, and Repair Refer to General Engine Mechanical section in this manual for cleaning, inspection, and measurements. The following is the recommended gasket cleaning procedure for General Motors engine components: Carefully remove all gasket material from the part using a plastic or wood scraper. Use Loctite brand “Chisel Gasket Remover” (P/N 4MA) or equivalent. Do not use any other method or technique to remove gasket material from a part. Do not use abrasive pads, sand paper or power tools to clean gasket surfaces. These methods of cleaning can damage the part. Abrasive pads also produce a fine grit that the oil filter cannot remove from the oil. This grit is abrasive and has been known to cause internal engine damage.

1 DRC6659

If the engine is damaged internally and needs to be rebuilt, make sure all foreign material is completely flushed out of the cooling and lubrication systems. Failure to rid the oil or cooling systems of debris can result in damage to the rebuilt engine. Measure: Crankshaft bearing vertical inside diameter (I.D.). Use an inside micrometer. This dimension should be the same as the other crankshaft bearing bore vertical diameters. Clean: Use care not to scratch crankshaft journals. •

Installation

Important

Crankshaft bearings are the precision insert type and do not use shims for adjustment. If clearances are excessive, a new bearing will be required. Service bearings are available in standard size and 0.001 in. (0,0254 mm), 0.002 in. (0,0508 mm), 0.010 in. (0,2540 mm), and 0.020 in. (0,5080 mm) undersize. Also a 0.009 in. (0,2286 mm) is available for 5.7L engines only. Selective fitting of both connecting rod and crankshaft bearings is necessary to obtain close tolerances. For this reason you may use, for example, one half of a 0.001 in. (0,0254 mm) undersize bearing which will decrease the clearance 0.0005 in. (0,0127 mm) from using a full standard bearing. Undersize Crankshaft Journals When a production crankshaft cannot be precision fit by the method described previously, it is then ground 0.009 in. (0,2286 mm) undersize. GRIND ONLY THOSE CRANKSHAFT JOURNALS THAT CANNOT BE PROPERLY FITTED. ALL JOURNALS WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE GROUND. A 0.009 in. (0,2286 mm) undersize bearing or 0.010 in. (0,254 mm) undersize bearing will then be used for precision fitting in the same manner as previously described. Oversize Rear Crankshaft Bearing Thrust Faces Some production engines may have rear crankshaft bearings that are 0.008 in. (0,2032 mm) wider than standard across the thrust faces. The crankshaft on these engines can be identified by “.008” stamped on the rear counterweight. If the rear crankshaft bearings are replaced, they must have the proper distance between thrust faces to obtain correct crankshaft end play.

1 Install or Connect: 1. Upper crankshaft bearing to the block.

Important

If any undersized bearings are used, they must be fitted to the proper journals. 2. Crankshaft. 3. Lower crankshaft bearings to the crankshaft bearing caps. Measure: Refer to General Engine Mechanical section in this manual for crankshaft bearing clearance procedures.

Engine/eng

5-33

4. Apply engine oil to the crankshaft bearings. Install crankshaft bearing caps and bolts to the block. DO NOT install the rear crankshaft bearing cap at this time. In order to prevent the possibility of cylinder block and/or crankshaft bearing cap damage, the crankshaft bearing caps are to be lightly tapped into their cylinder block cavity using a brass or leather mallet before attaching bolts are installed. DO NOT USE ATTACHING BOLTS TO PULL CAPS INTO THEIR SEAT.

Important

The arrows on the crankshaft bearing caps must be facing the front of the engine. Tighten: Crankshaft main bearing cap bolts to: •

All inboard bolts 77 ft. lb. (105 N m).

•

Outboard bolts (four bolt caps) 67 ft. lb. (90 N m).

•

•

5. Rear crankshaft bearing cap and bolts to the block. Tighten: Bolts temporarily to 35 in. lb. (4 N m). •

Measure: Crankshaft end play, as follows:

1 1. Firmly thrust the crankshaft first rearward then forward. This will line up the rear crankshaft bearing and crankshaft thrust surfaces. 2. Install rear crankshaft bearing cap bolts. Tighten: Rear crankshaft bearing cap bolts to 77 ft. lb. (105 N m). •

1 DRC6530

5-34

Engine/eng

3. With the crankshaft wedged forward, measure at the front end of the rear crankshaft bearing with a feeler gauge. The proper clearance is 0.002 - 0.006 in. (0,0508 - 0,1524 mm). 4. If correct end play cannot be obtained, make sure the correct size rear crankshaft bearing has been installed. Production engines may have rear crankshaft bearings that are 0.008 in. (0,2032 mm) wider across the thrust faces than standard, as explained previously. Inspect: Crankshaft for binding. Try turning the crankshaft to check for binding. If the crankshaft does not turn freely, loosen the crankshaft bearing cap bolts on one cap at a time until the tight bearing is located. Burrs on the bearing cap, foreign matter between the bearing and the block or the bearing cap, or a faulty bearing could cause a lack of clearance at the bearing. •

Safety Warnings Before working on any part of the engine, read the section called Safety at the end of this manual. Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The text will call out those fasteners that require replacement after removal. The text will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplement coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener, When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and tightening specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

General Description Cylinder Block The engine block is made of cast iron and has eight cylinders arranged in a “V” shape with four cylinders in each bank. It is a one piece casting with the cylinders encircled by coolant jackets. Cylinder Head The cylinder heads are cast iron and have parent metal inlet valve guides and inlet valve seats. Cast iron exhaust valve guides and powered metal valve seats are pressed into the exhaust ports. Camshaft A steel camshaft is supported by five bearings pressed into the engine block. The camshaft sprocket, mounted to the front of the camshaft, is driven by the crankshaft sprocket through a camshaft timing chain. Motion from the camshaft is transmitted to the valves by hydraulic roller valve lifters, valve push rods, and ball-pivot type rocker arms. Crankshaft The crankshaft is made of cast nodular iron. The crankshaft is supported by five crankshaft bearings. The crankshaft bearings are retained by the crankshaft bearing caps which are machined with the block for proper alignment and clearances. The engine crankshaft bearing caps are retained by four bolts each. The number five crankshaft bearing at the rear of the engine is the end thrust bearing. Four connecting rod journals (two rods per journal) are spaced 90 degrees apart.

Engine/eng

Pistons and Connecting Rods The pistons are cast aluminum that use two compression rings and one oil control ring assembly. The piston pins are a floating fit in the pistons and are retained by a press fit in the connecting rod assembly. Connecting rods are forged steel, with precision type insert crankpin bearings. Lubrication The gear-type oil pump is driven through an extension driveshaft. The extension driveshaft is driven by the distributor which is gear driven by the camshaft. The oil is drawn from the oil pan through a pickup screen and tube. Pressurized oil is delivered through internal passages to lubricate camshaft and crankshaft bearings and to provide valve lash control in the hydraulic valve lifters. Oil is metered from the valve lifters through the valve push rods to lubricate the valve rocker arms and ball pivots. Oil returning to the oil pan from the cylinder heads and the front camshaft bearing, lubricates the camshaft timing chain and crankshaft and camshaft sprockets. Valve Train The valve train is a ball pivot type. Motion is transmitted from the camshaft through hydraulic roller valve lifters and tubular valve push rods to the valve rocker arms. The valve rocker arm pivots on a ball to open the valve. The hydraulic roller valve lifters keep all parts of the valve train in constant contact. The valve rocker arm and balls are retained by bolts.

Cleaning

Engine Lubrication

1 Full pressure lubrication, through a full-flow oil fil-

Before cleaning the engine, remove the engine accessories to provide better access to the en- gine’s exterior surfaces. After removing the throttle body, distributor, etc., cover the openings with tape to prevent the entry of coolant, solvent, or dirt.

ter is supplied by a gear-type oil pump. Oil is drawn up through the oil pump screen and passes through the pump to the oil filter. The oil filter is a full-flow paper element unit with an anti-drain back valve. An oil filter bypass valve is used to ensure adequate oil supply, in the event the filter becomes plugged or develops excessive pressure drop.

Methods used to clean the engine will depend on what equipment is available. Steam cleaning, pressure washing, or solvent cleaning are some acceptable methods. Allow the engine to dry before beginning the work.

Filtered oil flows into the main gallery and then to the camshaft, rear bearing, and crankshaft bearings. The valve lifter oil gallery supplies oil to the valve lifters. Oil flows from the valve lifters through the hollow valve push rods to the valve rocker arms. Oil drains back to the crankcase through oil drain holes in the cylinder head. The camshaft timing chain is drip fed from the front camshaft bearing. The pistons and piston pins are lubricated by oil splash.

It is important that the engine be as clean as possible to prevent dirt from entering critical areas during disassembly.

Engine/eng

Tools and Shop Equipment A clean, well lit work area should be available. Other necessary equipment includes: a suitable parts cleaning tank, compressed air supply, trays to keep parts and fasteners organized, and an adequate set of hand tools. An approved engine repair stand will help prevent personal injury or damage to engine components. Special tools are illustrated throughout this section and listed at its end. These tools (or their equivalents) are specially designed to quickly and safely accomplish the operations for which they are intended. The use of these tools will also minimize possible damage to engine components. Some precision measuring tools are required for inspection of certain critical components. Torque wrenches will be necessary to correctly tighten various fasteners. Those fasteners will be called out within this section. Accessories This manual assumes that the engine accessories have been removed. These accessories may include one or more of the following: •

Power Steering Pump

•

Alternator

•

Distributor

•

Water Supply Pump

•

Accessory Brackets and Electrical Wiring

•

Starter Motor

It is beyond the scope of this section to detail the many different accessory installations. Refer to the proper Service Manual for this information. Diagrams of vacuum hose routing, wiring harness routing, accessory drive belt layout, etc., should be made before removing these components. Draining The Engine Follow the procedures in Section 1, General Information of this manual to drain crankcase engine oil and the cooling system.

Hydraulic Valve Lifter Checking Hydraulic Valve Lifter When checking hydraulic valve lifters, rememberthat grit, sludge, varnish, or other foreign matter will seriously affect their operation. If any foreign substance is found in the lifters or engine where it may be circulated by the lubrication system, a thorough cleaning job must be done to avoid a repetition of lifter trouble. To help prevent lifter trouble, the engine oil and oil filter must be changed as recommended in General Information Section. The engine oil must be heavy-duty type (for Service SG) and must also conform to General Motors Standard 6094-M to avoid detrimental formation of sludge and varnish. We recommend DuraPlusTM Synthetic Motor Oil. The boat owner should be specifically advised of these requirements when the unit is delivered. Faulty valve lifter operation usually appears under one of the following conditions: 1. Rapping Noise Only When Engine is Started: When the engine is stopped, any lifter on a camshaft lobe is under pressure of the valve spring; therefore, leak down or escape of oil from the lower chamber can occur. When the engine is started, a few seconds may be required to fill the lifter, particularly in colder weather. If noise occurs only occasionally, it may be considered normal, requiring no correction. If noise occurs frequently, however, check for either oil too heavy for prevailing temperatures, or excessive varnish in lifters. 2. Intermittent Rapping Noise: An intermittent rapping noise that appears and disappears every few seconds indicates leakage at check ball seat due to foreign particles, varnish, or defective surface of check ball or seat. 3. Noise at Idle and Low Speed: If one or more valve lifters are noisy at idle speed and up to approximately 1200 RPM, but quiet at higher speeds, it indicates excessive leakdown rate orfaultycheckball seatorplunger.With engine idling, lifters with excessive leak down rate may be spotted by pressing down on each rocker arm above the push rod with equal pressure. Recondition or replace noisy lifters.

7-6

Engine/eng

4. Generally Noisy at All Speeds: Check for low or high oil level in crankcase. High oil levels will cause oil foaming from the crankshaft and will force air bubbles into the lifters. Low oil levels allow pump to pump air at high speed. With engine idling, strike each rocker arm above the push rod several sharp blows with a mallet; if noise disappears, it indicates that foreign material was keeping check ball from seating. Stop engine and place lifters on camshaft base circle. If there is lash clearance in any valve linkage, it indicates a stuck lifter plunger, worn lifter roller, or worn camshaft lobe.

1

5. Loud Noise at Normal Operating Temperature Only:

11508

If a lifter develops a loud noise when the engine is at normal operating temperature, but is quiet when engine is below normal temperature, it indicates an excessively fast leak down rate of scored lifter plunger. Recondition or replace lifter. Removal 1. With air hose and cloths, clean dirt from cylinder heads and adjacent parts to avoid getting dirt into engine. It is extremely important that no dirt gets into the valve lifters.

2

2. Remove intake manifold. Remove exhaust manifolds.

11509

3. Remove rocker arm covers. Do not pry. If covers stick use rubber mallet and strike cover end to jar loose. Loosen rocker arm nuts and pivot the rocker arm free of the push rods.

1

2 4. Remove push rods. Remove the hydraulic lifter guides and

lifters that require service one at a time and place them in an organizer rack. The lifters must be installed in the same bore from which they were removed.

3 4 A stuck hydraulic lifter can be removed using Tool J-3049-A (plier type) or Tool J-9290-01 (slide hammer type).

3 31350

5. If less than a complete set of lifters is being removed, immediately is assemble one or two for presence of dirt or varnish. If lifters contain dirt or varnish, it is advisable to remove all lifters for replacement. Otherwise, it will be satisfactory to service only those lifters that are not operating properly.

Cleaning and Inspection Refer to General Engine Mechanical section in this manual for cylinder head cleaning and inspection. Repair 1. Valve Seats: Reconditioning the valve seats is very important, because the seating of the valve must be perfect for the engine to deliver the power and performance built into it. Another important factor is the cooling of the valve heads. Good contact between each valve and its seat in the head is imperative to ensure that the heat in the valve head will be properly carried away.

Several different types of equipment are available for resealing valve seats; the recommendations of the manufacturer of the equipment being used should be carefully followed to attain proper results. Regardless of what type of equipment is used, however, it is essential that valve guides be free from carbon or dirt to ensure proper centering of pilot in the guide. a. Install expanding pilot in the valve guide bore and expand pilot by tightening nut on top of pilot. b. Place roughing stone orforming stone over pilot and just clean up the valve seat. Use a 46° stone for both the inlet and exhaust valve seats. c. Remove roughing stone or forming stone from pilot, install finishing stone on pilot and cut just enough metal from the seat to provide a smooth finish. d. Narrow down the valve seats to the proper width for the intake and exhaust. See Specifications at the end of this section. This operation is done by grinding the port side with a 30° stone to lower seat and a 60° stone to raise seat. e. Remove expanding pilot and clean cylinder head carefully to remove all chips and grindings from above operations.

Valve seats should be concentric to within 0.002 in. (0,0508 mm) total indicator reading. J 8001

2. Valves: Valves that are pitted can be refaced to the proper angle, ensuring correct relation between the head and stern on a valve refacing machine. Valve stems which show excessive wear, or valves that are warped excessively should be replaced. When a valve head which is warped excessively is refaced, a knife edge will be ground on part or all of the valve head due to the amount of metal that must be removed to completely reface. Knife edges lead to breakage, burning or preignition due to heat localizing on this knife edge. If the edge of the valve head is less than 1/32 in. (0.792 mm) thick after grinding, replace the valve.

a. If necessary, dress the valve refacing machine grinding wheel to make sure it is smooth and true. Set chuck at 45° mark for grinding valves. b. Clamp the valve stem in the chuck of the machine. c. Start the grinder and move the valve head out in line with the grinder wheel by moving the lever to the left. d. Turn the feed screw until the valve head just contacts wheel. Move valve back and forth across the wheel and regulate the feed screw to provide light valve contact. e. Continue grinding until the valve face is true and smooth all around valve. If this makes the valve thin, the valve must be replaced as the valve will overheat and burn. f. Remove valve from chuck and place stem in “V” block. Feed valve squarely against grinding wheel to grind any pit from rocker arm end of stem. NOTE: Only the extreme end of the valve stem is hardened to resist wear. Do not grind end of stern excessively. g. After cleaning valve face and cylinder head valve seat of grinding particles, make pencil marks about 1/4 in. (6,35 mm) apart across the valve face, place the valve in cylinder head and give the valve one-half turn in each direction while exerting firm pressure on face of valve. h. Remove valve and check face carefully. If all pencil marks have not been removed at the point of contact with the valve seat, it will be necessary to repeat the refacing operation and recheck for proper seating. i. Grind and check remaining valves in the same manner. Assembly When replacing valve springs, refer to the latest parts catalog for ordering information.

2 Starting with number 1 cylinder, place the valves in the designated ports and assemble all but the seal and locks. Then, using tool J-5892C, compress the spring A and install the seal B and locks C .

Lubrication System Description and Operation The oil pump consists of two gears and a pressure relief valve enclosed in a two-piece housing, and is driven by the distributor driveshaft which in turn is driven by a helix gear on the camshaft. The pump is flange mounted to the cylinder block with two bolts. The pump cover is equipped with a pressure regulator valve that regulates oil pressure at approximately 40-60 PSI (275.8-413.7 kPa) at 2000 RPM. The pump intake is of the fixed screen type. A mesh screen filters out small particles of dirt and sludge which may be present. A baffle incorporated in the intake screen has been designed to eliminate pressure loss due to sudden surging stops. In the event that a screen becomes plugged, a steel grommet opens and bypasses oil to the pump. Oil passes through an opening in the mounting flange to the cylinder block, then into an oil filter adapter. The main oil galleries run the full length of the crankcase and cut into the valve lifter guide holes to supply oil at full pressure to the lifters. The rocker arms and valves are lubricated by an oil channel in each push rod. Excess oil drains off and returns to the oil pan through passages in the cylinder head and block. Connecting passages drilled in the crankcase permit delivery of oil at full pressure to all crankshaft and camshaft bearings, distributor drive gear, and shaft, and the timing chain. Holes drilled in the crankshaft carry oil from the crankshaft bearings to the connecting rod bearings. Pistons and cylinder walls are lubricated by oil forced through a small notch in the bearing parting surface on the connecting rod, which registers with the hole in the crankpin once every revolution. Piston pins are lubricated by splash.

Crankshaft Description Main bearings are of the precision insert type and do not utilize shims for adjustment. If clearances are found to be excessive, a new bearing, both upper and lower halves, will be required. Bearings are available in standard size and 0.001 in. (0.0254 mm), 0.002 in. (0.0508 mm), 0.010 in. (0.245 mm) and 0.020 in. (0.508 mm) undersize. Selective fitting of both rod and main bearing inserts is necessary in production in order to obtain close tolerances. For this reason you may find one-half of a standard insert with one-half of a 0.001 in. (0.0254 mm) undersize insert which will decrease the clearance 0.0005 in. (0.0127 mm) from using a full standard bearing. When a production crankshaft cannot be precision fitted by this method, it is then ground 0.009 in. (0.2286 mm) undersize on only those main journals that cannot be properly fitted. All journals will not necessarily be ground undersize. A 0.009 in. (0.2286 mm) undersize bearing and 0.010 in. (0.245 mm) undersize bearing may be used for precision fitting in the same manner as previously described. If, for any reason, main bearing caps are replaced, shimming may be necessary. Laminated shims for each cap are available for service. Shim requirement will be determined by bearing clearance. Cleaning, Inspection and Repair Refer to General Engine Mechanical section in this manual for cleaning, inspection, and measurements. In general, (except No. 1 bearing) the lower half of the bearing shows a greater wear and the most distress from fatigue. If upon inspection the lower half is suitable for use, it can be assumed that the upper half is also satisfactory. If the lower half shows evidence of wear or damage, both upper and lower halves should be replaced. Never replace one half without replacing the other half. These dimensions should be checked with a micrometer for out-ofround, taper or undersize. If the journals exceed 0.001 in. (0.0254 mm) out-of-round, or taper, the crankshaft should be replaced or reconditioned to an undersize figure that will enable the installation of undersize precision type bearings. The crankshaft should also be checked for runout. To perform this operation, support the crankshaft at the front and rear main bearing journals in “V” blocks, and indicate the runout of both the rear intermediate and front intermediate journals, using a dial indicator. The runout limit of each of these journals is 0.002 in. (0.0508 mm). If the runout exceeds 0.002 in. (0.0508 mm), the crankshaft must be repaired or replaced.

in oil hole in crankshaft journal. NOTE: If such a tool is not available, a cotter pin may be bent as required to do the job. 2. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise as viewed from the front of engine. This will roll upper bearing out of block. 3. Oil new selected size upper bearing and insert plain (unnotched) end between crankshaft and indented or notched side of block. Rotate the bearing into place, and remove tool from oil hole in crankshaft journal. 4. Oil new lower bearing and install in bearing cap. Install main bearing cap with arrows pointing toward front of engine. Torque main bearing cap bolts to specifications. Measure: Refer to General Engine Mechanical section in this manual for crankshaft bearing clearance procedures.

Connecting Rod Bearing Replacement Connecting rod bearings are of the precision insert type and do not utilize shims for adjustment. DO NOT FILE RODS OR ROD CAPS. If clearances are found to be excessive a new bearing will be required. Bearings are available in standard size and 0.001 in. undersize for use with standard size crankshafts. 1. With oil pan and oil pump removed, remove the connecting rod cap and bearing. 2. Wipe the bearings and crankpin clean of oil. Inspect the bearing for evidence of wear or damage. 3. Measure the crankpin for out-of-round or taper with a micrometer. If not within specifications, replace or recondition the crankshaft. If within specifications and a new bearing is to be installed, measure the maximum diameter of the crankpin to determine new bearing size required. 4. If within specifications, measure new or used bearing clearances with Plastigage or its equivalent. If a bearing is being fitted to an out-of-round crankpin, be sure to fit to the maximum diameter of the crankpin. If the bearing is fitted to the minimum diameter and the crankpin is out-of-round 0.001 in., interference between the bearing and crankpin will result in rapid bearing failure. a. Place a piece of gauging plastic the full width of the crankpin parallel to the crankshaft. (Note: Surfaces must be free from oil.)

Power Steering System

• The oil cooler G is a heat exchanger that uses engine cooling water to keep the hydraulic fluid cool.

Description

• A high pressure hydraulic hose H carries fluid from the pump to the control valve, and low pressure hoses

The power steering system consists of a mechanical cable from the helm to the inner transom plate, an engine mounted pump, and a power cylinder to move the vertical drive steering arm.

6 The hydraulic pump

I and J carry the fluid from the valve to the oil cooler, and back to the reservoir.

• The steering cable casing cylinder valve.

Pump Operation 1 During normal operation, fluid is drawn into dual pump intake ports A from the reservoir B . The reservoir is supplied by a low pressure return line C from the power steering oil cooler. The pump output is through ports D . The vanes E are held out against the pump bore by pressure behind the vanes. The pump has sufficient output F to allow quick boat maneuvers even at engine idle RPM. The pump output at high RPM is limited to about 2.3 gallons per minute by a flow restriction orifice G . The pump output pressure is determined by the resistance to flow of the system. When no steering changes are being made, the pressure will be about 50-100 PSI. When there is steering input, the pressure will be higher and will depend on the steering forces required due to the boat attitude, drive trim position, throttle position and quickness of the maneuver.

2 The pump is protected from the very high pressures by a pressure relief valve H that is located in the pump body. If the steering load becomes extremely high, the relief valve will open and limit the output pressure I to about 1,000-1,100 PSI. Internal damage to the pump will occur if the system is operated at relief valve pressure for more than a few seconds.

3 The pump has a metric output fitting. Use only a hose with a metric fitting.

Steering To Port - Steering Wheel Turning To Left

System Operation

5 When the helm is turned to port (either turning boat to left or straightening from a right turn) the steering arm is pulled to starboard. The steering cable casing pushes the valve spool K to port. Fluid from the pump enters the valve at L , is routed to the rod-end outlet N and to the low volume side end of the cylinder Q . The pump pressure moves the piston and steering arm to starboard. Fluid in the high volume side of the cylinder P is forced out through the valve from M to return port O and back to the reservoir. As long as the helm is turning to port this motion continues, swinging the sterndrive to port.

No Steering Input - Steering Wheel Not Turning

4 When there is no steering input from the helm, the spring J in the control valve keeps the spool K centered. Fluid from the pump enters the control valve through the pressure port L , flows past both cylinder ports M and N with little restriction, then through the return port O and back to the reservoir. There is a small equal force at both ends P and Q of the cylinder and the cylinder does not move. With no steering input, the sterndrive is held in one position and the boat moves in a constant turn or in a straight line.

When the helm input stops (steering wheel not turning), the steering cable stops pulling the steering arm to starboard, and the steering casing stops pushing the valve spool to port. When the spring J moves the valve spool to a “centered” position, hydraulic fluid is again routed past both cylinder outlets. The steering cylinder has an equal force at both ends and stops moving. The steering system is then back to the No Steering Input condition described previously.

sist, the operator may still steer the boat. Turning the steering wheel to port causes the steering cable to pull the steering arm to starboard. This causes the cable casing to push the valve spool A to port against the stop about 0.125 in. (3,18 mm). The steering cable then transmits the full manual effort to pull the steering arm.

ing boat to right or straightening from a left turn), the steering arm is pushed to port. The steering cable casing pulls the valve spool A to starboard. Fluid from the pump enters the valve at B and is routed to the pistonend outlet C and to the high volume side of the cylinder D . The pump pressure moves the piston and steering arm to port. Fluid at the low volume side of the cylinder E is forced out and through the valve from F to return port G and back to the reservoir. As long as the helm is turning to starboard this motion continues, swinging the sterndrive to starboard.

The fluid D ahead of the piston is forced out of the cylinder through outlet C into the valve, and through return port G back to the reservoir. Additional fluid is drawn out of the reservoir through the pressure inlet B and F to the opposite side of the piston E . More steering effort is required since all of the power required to steer the boat must be supplied by the operator, and additional force is required to move the fluid through the system when the pump is not operating.

When the helm input stops (steering wheel not turning), the steering cable stops pushing the steering arm to port, and the steering casing stops pulling the valve spool to starboard. When the spring 0 moves the valve spool to a “centered” position, hydraulic fluid is again routed past both cylinder outlets. The steering cylinder has an equal force at both ends and stops moving. The steering system is then back at the No Steering Input condition described previously.

Purging Air From Steering System When system components have been serviced, pump must be refilled with fluid before engine is started. Perform the following steps to purge air from the steering system. Do not run pump even momentarily without fluid. Pump will be ruined or severely damaged. 1. With engine “OFF,” turn helm all the way to port. Add power steering fluid to bring fluid level to “COLD” mark on dipstick. 2. Start engine, run momentarily and shut off engine. Recheck fluid level and fill to “COLD” mark. Repeat this step as necessary until system no longer requires additional fluid. 3. Complete purging of air from system by starting engine and turning wheel slowly lock-to-lock. Maintain fluid level above pump body in reservoir. 4. Returning fluid with air in it will often be in the form of foam and will have a light tan or red appearance. Maintain fluid level high enough so foam is not drawn into pump inlet. All air must be eliminated from fluid before normal steering action can be obtained. If excessive foam accumulates in reservoir it must be removed, or let unit stand for an hour and repeat steps above. 5. After all air has been purged, return wheel to centered position. Continue to run engine for several minutes and then shut engine off. 6. With engine “OFF” and with fluid at normal operating temperature, recheck to make sure fluid level is at “HOT” mark on dipstick. 7. Water test the boat to make sure the steering functions normally and is free from noise.

The pump output fitting has metric threads. Do not attach a hose with SAE threads to the pump fitting. After connecting power steering hoses, make sure that there’s ample clearance between the hoses and drive belts and other components. Hoses installed out of position may rub during operation and be damaged. If fluid return hose is removed at pump, be sure to use a “worm drive” clamp when reinstalling it.

System Diagnosis Complaints of faulty steering are frequently the result of problems other than the steering cylinder assembly or pump. Conditions such as hard or loose steering, or vibrations, are often related to such factors as the drive belt; pump and cylinder mounting; fluid level; or incorrect installation of the steering cable. These factors should be checked and corrected before disassembling or replacing parts of the steering system. System Checks Many factors affect power operation of the steering system. Some of the most common problem areas are: •

Fluid level.

•

Loose or worn drive belt, or oily belt.

•

Steering cable jammed against something in boat at stern.

•

Steering cable too short or steering cable too long.

•

Loosely mounted components.

•

Loose pump pulley.

8-16

Engine/eng

After the problem has been found, determine the cause. For example, if the fluid level in the reservoir is found to be low, refill and bleed the system and check the entire hydraulic system for leaks. Just refilling the reservoir will make the unit operate, but will not correct the condition that caused the problem.

Trim Tab Adjustment Models With Power Steering Trim tab adjustment is not required on power steering installations. Models Without Power Steering Safety Warning: Improper trim tab adjustment can cause difficult steering. An adjustable trim tab is provided to compensate for propeller torque and allows you to balance steering effort in either direction. Test your boat to see if further adjustment is needed. •

With a firm grip on the steering wheel and the weight in the boat evenly distributed, run the boat at full throttle in a straight line. Do this in an area where current and wind will not be a factor.

•

Turn the steering wheel to port and starboard. Determine which direction requires the least amount of steering effort.

Safety Warning: When adjusting the trim tab, stop the engine and raise the vertical drive out of the water.

2

•

If less steering effort was required in a port turn, loosen the trim tab screw and move the rear edge of the trim tab slightly to the port. Tighten screw.

•

If less steering effort was required in a starboard turn, loosen trim tab screw and move the rear edge of the trim tab slightly to the starboard. Tighten screw.

•

Repeat the above procedure until steering effort is equal in both directions.

•

After adjustment is complete, tighten the trim tab screw A

to a torque of 14-16 ft. lb. (19-22 N m). Set both trim tabs to the same position for twin engine installations where trim tabs are used.

External Leakage General Procedure 1. Wipe suspected area dry. 2. Check for overfilled reservoir. 3. Check for fluid aeration and overflow. 4. Check hose connections - tighten if necessary. 5. Determine exact point of leakage. 6. When service is required, replace component. Leakage Checks Although some leaks are easily found, seepage type leaks may be difficult to pinpoint. Locate seepage leaks as follows: 1. With the engine off, wipe the complete power steering system dry (pump, hoses, and connections). 2. Check the fluid level in the pump reservoir and adjust as directed. 3. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from stop-to-stop several times. 4. Find the exact area of leakage. Easily Fixed Leaks 1. Loose clamp on pump return hose. 2. Loose pump or cylinder hose fitting. If fittings are not cross-threaded, tighten to correct torque. See Torque Specifications. 3.

2. Remove filler cap from pump reservoir and check fluid level. Fill pump reservoir to full mark on dipstick. Start engine, momentarily hold steering wheel against stop, and check connections at tool for leakage.

1 1. An overfilled pump reservoir can cause a leak. The fluid in the steering system expands as it heats up during normal usage and fluid level rises in reservoir. Excess fluid is forced through the breather cap hole where it may be sprayed over the engine by the drive belt. 1 2. Install new O-ring. Tighten hose fitting

C

. If leakage persists with fluid at correct level and cap tight, replace cap or pump.

1 5. Some non-repairable pump leakage areas are marked with the oil-drop symbol. If leakage occurs in these areas, replace pump.

6. Pump relief valve pressure can be checked by momentarily closing the shutoff valve. Do not leave valve closed longer than it takes to read gauge; high hydraulic pressures are developed. Relief valve pressure is approximately 1000-1100 PSI (6895-7584 kPa).

Pump Pressure Test 2 1. With engine off, disconnect high pressure (output) hose at pump. Use a spare pressure hose D to install Kent-Moore Tool, J-5176-E E between pump and steering cylinder pressure hose F . Gauge must be positioned between shutoff valve and pump.

Cable Installation Problems The hydraulic valve reacts to steering cable casing movement. Total valve movement is about 1/4 inch. This small motion is sufficient to operate the valve and direct hydraulic pressure to the appropriate side of the steering cylinder. Any restriction of movement of the steering cable casing at the stern of the boat will limit or restrict the movement of the valve and will result in hard steering in one or both directions. When replacing the steering cable, the following points must be followed for proper power steering system operation:

3 DR1450

3 1. Do not install a cable that is too short. Inadequate length will put tension on the cable casing, and cause binding of the steering cable. This will restrict valve movement, cause hard steering to port and a tendency to self steer to starboard. 4 2. Do not install a cable that is too long. Excessive length will push on the cable casing, and cause binding of the steering cable. This will restrict valve movement, cause hard steering to starboard and a tendency to self steer to port. 3. Do not position steering cable in a sharp bend of less than 6 in. radius. Tight bends will cause binding and limit control valve movement. This will contribute to hard or uneven steering, or rough steering wheel movement.

4 DR1451

5 4. Do not jam anything against cable at the engine end. Do not bind cable against inside of boat or against fuel tanks, battery boxes or flotation blocks. Jamming the steering cable will restrict steering cable movement and cause hard steering. 6 5. Do not interfere with or restrict steering cable movement through the last 90° of bend to the engine. Cable retainers, clips, clamps or tie straps should not be used in a manner that will restrict the cable movement near the engine. Do not attach wiring harness or control cables to this end of the steering cable.

5 DR1452

Do not restrict steering cable casing movement. Any restriction of the cable also restricts the valve movement. This will limit or stop hydraulic assist, or may hold the valve in one steering mode.

6 DR1453

Engine/eng

8-23

Feedback To The Helm The steering system requires at least a little friction in the helm (and cable) to prevent hydrodynamic forces on the gear case from feeding back and turning the steering wheel without the operator activating the power assist system. This may happen on single engine installations (or on twin engines having both drives rotating in the same direction). Run the boat in a straight line in opposite directions at normal cruising speed with the drive trimmed in both a “bow up” position and in a “bow down” position. In each trim position, momentarily release the steering wheel to see if the wheel is turned by the gear case, and in which direction.

1 DR5643

If the steering wheel turns to both starboard and port, then helm friction must be increased slightly. This will allow the power steering system to hold the desired steering position.

1 2 If the helm always turns in one direction (when it turns), it may be caused by a steering cable that is too short, too long, or has restricted movement. See Cable Installation Problems. Twin engine problems may be corrected by adjusting the tie bar for “toe-in” A or for “toe-out” B of the vertical drives. Refer to Tie Bar Adjustment found in this section.

Installation of Shift and Throttle Cables Shift cable should “PULL” for forward gear on right-hand rotation SX and DP-S propeller applications. Shift cable should “PUSH” for forward gear on left-hand rotation SX propeller applications. Throttle cable should “Push” to close for Volvo Penta remote controls. Failure to do so could result in loss of control of the boat and possible injury to the boat occupants. 1. If the remote control shift and throttle cables are installed in the remote controls, proceed to Check Remote Control Shift Cable Stroke. 2. If the remote control shift and throttle cables have not been installed, the following procedure will permit you to order the correct length remote control shift and throttle cables.

1 3. Measure the proposed route of the remote control shift and throttle cables. All bends must have a radius greater than 6 inches (15,2 cm). •

A

Remote control shift cable: Add A + B plus 20 in. (50.8 cm), round up to next cable length.

•

C

Remote control throttle cable: Add A + B + C plus 4 in. (10.1 cm), ( C is to center of throttle arm pin). Round up to next cable length.

When removing shift and throttle cables from the packing box, DO NOT bend the cables tighter than a 6 inch radius.

Determine whether you have a “push-to-close” or “pull-toclose” remote control system. Cable attachment point at throttle arm is determined by direction of control cable movement. Incorrect attachment may cause hazardous boat operation. The remote control shift cable must be installed prior to throttle cable installation. This will ensure proper throttle and shift system operation when using single lever controls.

Description 1 Water is supplied to the engine by means of an impeller type pump (supply pump). The water supply pump is mounted on the engine. Water supplied to the engine is circulated in the engine by means of a centrifugal type pump (circulating pump). All models use a crankshaft mounted pump. During low speed operation the impeller functions as a positive displacement pump. At higher speeds it functions as a combination centrifugal and positive displacement pump.

1 DRC7621

The shape of the housing and/or liner cause an eccentric action of the impeller blades during engine operation. During periods of high speed operation, the resistance of the water on its way through the pump is sufficient to prevent the ends of the impeller blades from making contact and following the inside perimeter of the pump housing. The blades merely flex in toward the center of the impeller to perform as a combination centrifugal and positive displacement pump.

2

3 The circulating pump is mounted on the front of the cylinder

block. It has a pulley bolted to the pump shaft hub at its forward end. This in turn is driven by means of a belt from the crankshaft pulley. The pump shaft and bearing assembly is pressed in the water pump housing. The bearing is permanently lubricated during manufacture and sealed to prevent loss of lubricant and entry of dirt. The pump is sealed against coolant leakage by a non-adjustable seal assembly pressed into the pump cover.

2 DRC6871

Cooling water for the engine is picked up at the water intakes on both sides of the lower gearcase. Water is pulled upward thru the lower gearcase until it enters a water tube that transfers it to the upper gear housing. Water is pulled through the upper gear housing water passage where it meets a nipple and hose attached to the pivot housing. Water is routed through the transom mount assembly to a tube that’s mounted on the inside of the gimbal housing. From this tube the water is drawn through a supply hose that’s connected to the inside nipple of the supply pump. Water exits the outside nipple of the supply pump under pressure and carried through a hose to the inlet nipple of the thermostat housing.

10-2

3 DRC6872

Engine/eng

All Models: The water is now carried downward through the thermostat housing where it enters the flexible hose which attaches to the inlet pipe of the circulating pump. This inlet pipe is a part of the pump cover and feeds the coolant into a low pressure area located at the axis of the impeller. Vanes on the rotating impeller cause the coolant to be thrown outward and into the cylinder block.

In the event the engine cooling water is cold, as in first starting up, the thermostat will be closed and will not allow any of the water to pass through for eventual discharge overboard. Instead, the water will be carried via the flexible hose back to the circulating pump for recirculation within the block. While the water within the block is recirculating, the supply pump is pumping water to the block.

The cooling water flows rearward through the water jacket which surrounds each cylinder and extends below the lower limit of piston ring travel. After flowing the full length of the cylinder block, the water is forced upward through two passages and into the cylinder head(s). The water now flows forward in the cylinder head(s) to cool the combustion chamber areas.

Since this water is not able to enter the cylinder block, it is necessary to provide a method of discharge. This is provided by the bypass passage within the thermostat housing. If this were not provided, the resulting water pressure would be enough to force the thermostat off its seat, resulting in a greatly increased warm-up period.

At the forward end of the cylinder head(s), the water enters the thermostat housing. If the water within the block is sufficiently warmed up, the thermostat will be open and a portion of the water will be pumped upward past the thermostat. The remainder will be returned via the flexible hose to the water pump for recirculation within the powerhead. The water which was pumped upward past the thermostat will enter the hose(s) connected to the thermostat housing outlet(s) and travel to the manifolds.

Cooling System Troubleshooting 1. Quiz Customer for the Following Information: a. How old is unit, how many hours of operation? (Wear and corrosion.) b. How long has problem existed? (Gradual or sudden.) c. What were the operating conditions prior to problem? (Fresh or salt water, silty or sandy water.)

At this point the water flows rearward through the manifold passages and into the high-rise elbow. All of the water that enters the high-rise elbow is mixed with the exhaust gases prior to entering the exhaust pipe(s) and hose(s). This mixture of exhaust gases and water then enters the exhaust passages of the gimbal housing, pivot housing and vertical drive where it is discharged under water.

Engine/eng

d. What previous repairs and service have been made on unit? (Tune-ups, impeller replacement, etc.) e. At what RPM does problem occur? (Low, high.)

10-3

2. Possibilities To Consider: a. Temperature Gauge Malfunction. •

Improper or defective sender unit

•

Malfunctioning gauge - Check ground wire - substitute good gauge.

b. Engine Water Circulation Pump Malfunction. •

Loose alternator belt

•

Impeller vanes worn - replace pump.

•

Impeller shaft seal failure - replace pump.

c. Water Intake Screens Blocked. d. Ventilation - Marine growth on keel, hull deformities, etc. e. Ignition Timing •

Running with retarded timing - Check timing.

3. Isolating Cooling Problem: Air or exhaust gas entering cooling water: a. Procedure - Replace water hose between thermostat housing and the supply pump with clear plastic hose. Operate unit in test tank or boat in water at RPM at which overheat occurs. If operating unit in test tank, run motor in neutral. Some test tanks may not have sufficient water volume to allow running engine in gear without creating turbulence. This can be picked up by the water intake and misconstrued as evidence of a cooling problem. b. Results and Conclusions - No bubbles in hose, air/ exhaust is not entering cooling water. Bubbles in hose, air/exhaust is entering cooling water. c. Check for - Defective lower gearcase water tube guide and seals; damaged water tube grommet; leaking water passage cover gasket or adaptor-to-gear housing gasket.

10-4

Engine/eng

Insufficient water supply: a. Procedure - Disconnect water supply hose from transom bracket at thermostat housing. Operate engine at specified idle RPM. Hold end of hose level with the top of the flame arrestor. b. Results and Conclusions - A 1 inch (2,5 cm) head of water discharge, water supply is good. If less than 1/2 inch (1.2 cm), look for source of water loss. c. Check for - Blocked intake screens; damaged impeller housing O-ring or impeller plate gasket; broken or worn impeller; defective pivot housing water passage O-ring or water drain screw seal; loose pivot housing-to-gimbal housing water hose clamps. Thermostat malfunction - overheating or slow warm-up: a. Procedure - Operate engine until indicated temperature exceeds 160°F (71° C). Touch hoses between thermostat and exhaust manifolds. b. Results and Conclusions - Hoses cold, thermostat is stuck closed. Hoses warm or hot, thermostat is good. c. Check for - Thermostat stuck open or closed, defective thermostat O-ring, correct thermostat style for engine type, clear thermostat housing bypass passage. Engine head gasket leakage - overheating or hard starting (water in cylinders): a. Procedure - Allow engine to cool. Replace water hose(s) between thermostat housing and exhaust manifolds) with clear plastic hose. Operate unit at RPM at which overheat occurs. b. Results and Conclusions - No bubbles evident, head gaskets not leaking. Bubbles evident, head gaskets leaking. c. Check for - Cylinder compression using appropriate tester, water in engine oil, water in cylinders, spark plugs wet with water.

Repair Procedure: Rod out any accumulation of foreign matter built up in water passages. If evidence of porosity between water passages and exhaust chambers or exterior is found, replace component. Install new gaskets on reassembly. Circulating Pump - Engine For all models. No special tools required. Inspection Procedure: Make sure belt tension is correct. With the engine running, observe the rotation of the circulating pump pulley. If the pulley does not run true it can cause excessive drive belt wear and damage to the circulating pump itself. If the leakage of water occurs at the circulating pump while the engine is in operation, the pump may be loosely mounted to the engine, the shaft seal in front of the pump may be bad, the backing plate gasket may be defective, or the circulating pump mounting gaskets are leaking. If the above inspections do not detect any defect, the pump must be removed and inspected for internal corrosion, blockage, or damage. Inspect impeller for erosion. Repair Procedure: None, replace the pump.

Volvo Penta marine engines have a special circulating water pump with stainless steel components and a special marine shaft seal assembly. Do not replace with an automotive water pump.

Engine Removal Before removing engine, check engine height. See Determining Minimum Engine Height. Check engine clearance between front of engine and engine compartment bulkhead prior to starting work. If clearance is less than 6 in. (15,2 cm), the vertical drive must be removed to disengage U-joint shaft from engine coupler. See Vertical Drive and Transom Bracket Service Manual.

1

When engine clearance is more than 6 in. (15.2 cm), the engine can be pulled forward to disengage the U-joint shaft from the flywheel coupler, and be removed from the engine compartment.

22703

The vertical drive can remain installed only if engine removal does not require re-alignment of the engine. If the engine mounts, boat stringers, or engine coupler are being repaired or replaced, remove the vertical drive for engine alignment. To prevent possible fire and explosion caused by ignition of fuel vapors which may be present in the engine compartment, remove the positive and negative cables from the battery.

2 22704

Disconnect Battery All switches must be in the “OFF” position prior to disconnecting the red (positive) and black (negative) cables from the battery. This will safeguard against permanent damage to electrical components. Disconnect Power Steering Lines

1 1. Disconnect both power steering lines at the steering cylinder. 2 3 2. If the original fitting, P/N 3853315 A , is available, use it to link both steering lines together. If the fitting is not used, cover both steering cylinder openings and line fittings to prevent fluid loss and entry of contaminants. Tie lines onto engine higher than power steering pump to prevent damage and loss of oil during engine removal.

. . . and ask for copies of: (1) Electrical System Compliance Guideline (AD/A-049-638) (2) Fuel System Compliance Guideline (AD/A-047-767) These are concise guidelines - easy to read and understand. They explain what must be done to prevent fire and explosions. Safety

S-7

Always use replacement parts specified by the manufacturer. They meet the U.S. Coast Guard requirements. Most automotive parts do not, especially electrical components that must meet ignition protection requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard regulations. When nonmetallic parts look to be in poor shape . . . replace them!

Wires Cracked!

Torn Boots!

Cracked Fuel Lines! Using parts which meet U.S. Coast guard requirements is only half the job. The other half is your job . . . It's time for replacement BEFORE sparks and/or fuel leaks occur. Replace parts carefully. Make sure nuts and bolts are tight especially when they anchor electrical wires (to prevent sparking). If lock washers are specified - use them. No short cuts or missing parts with either of these CRITICAL safety related systems. When refueling, always ground fuel nozzle to the inlet fitting on the boat to prevent the buildup of electrostatic sparks. If you use a funnel, make sure it's metal and ground the fuel nozzle to the funnel.

STOP

If you smell gasoline in the engine compartment . . . find its source and stop the leakage.

S-8

Safety

Follow "Starting Procedure" outlined in the operator's manual. Always make sure there are no gasoline fumes in the engine compartment before starting the engine. Open the compartment and use your nose. Don't gamble. Backfire flame arrestor must be in place and securely attached to the air intake.

Do not alter the backfire flame arrestor. If loose, damaged, or altered, an engine "backfire" may pass through the flame arrestor assembly into the engine compartment. If fumes are present in compartment, fire and explosion could result.

When Running Engine with Engine Compartment Cover Removed The engine compartment cover is a guard. When you remove the cover / guard to work on the engine, remember: Loose clothing (open shirt sleeves, neckties), long hair, jewelry (rings, watches, bracelets), hands, arms, belts can be caught by moving belts or spinning pulleys Handle high voltage ignition components carefully. They can shock you and may cause you to recoil into moving parts. Two people working together on a running engine must look out for each other. Never, ever, hit the key to start the engine before signalling to your partner. (He may be leaning over the engine with his hands on a belt, or a "hot" electrical part, near the propeller, etc.) *Mechanics, technicians, backyard do-it-yourselfers.

Safety

S-11

Exhaust gasses of running engines contain carbon monoxide. . . you can't see it. . . you can't smell it. . . you can't taste it. . . but it's there whenever an engine runs. . . and it's deadly! When you smell the other gasses in the exhaust, you are inhaling carbon monoxide. Run engines only in well ventilated areas.

Chiseling (steel on steel) (Tip: Use plastic or brass type hammers. They don't chip off as easily as steel hammers.)

Handling Lead Acid Batteries

If spilled or splashed on any part of body..

Wash with lots of water. . .

If solution gets into eyes. . . Wash. . . and see a Doctor, fast!

Charging Lead Acid Batteries Attach and remove these cables with charger unplugged from 110 volt wall socket. (Prevents shocks if the charger is defective.) Observe correct polarity when connecting these charger leads. Always charge in a well ventilated area. Charging causes acid solution to give off hydrogen gas through the vents in the caps. . . Make sure vents are open. If clogged, pressure inside may build. . . battery may explode.

Safety

Never yank cables off battery posts. . . it's a sure way to make lots of sparks. . .surrounded by battery gas

Battery gas is explosive! While charging or discharging, remember. . .

No Smoking No Flames No Sparks

After Charging. . .

Don't check battery condition by placing metal objects across posts.

Shut off charger Remove charger plug from wall socket Then. . .

You're sure to make sparks and serious burns are possible.

Take charger cable off battery posts

Gasoline! Handle With Care When you smell any odor of gasoline, explosion is possible Gasoline fumes are heavier than air and will sink to the lowest point in the boat or room, and will stay there. . . waiting Gasoline explodes easily and violently when mixed with air

If the air around you is quiet . . . the pilot light in the heater may ignite the heavy fumes before your nose ever smells the fumes . .

What Can you Do?

Store in sturdy, sealed gas can . . .and . . . keep outside Safety

Store properly . . . Fill portable tanks outside boat to prevent spillage in boat Use fuel for fuel . . . not for a solvent If fumes are smelled (in shop, basement, garage), immediately: Put out open flames, cigarettes, sparking devices Wipe up spill or leak; get towels, rags outside fast Check lowest area for fumes; open doors or windows

S-13

Know items in and around repair area which can ignite gasoline fumes . . . Control them if fumes are smelled. Matches, cigarettes, torches, welders Electric motors (with unsealed cases) Electric generators (with unsealed cases) Light switches Appliance pilot lights (furnace, dryer, water heater) ????????? How many of these are in your area?

Hazardous Products

Read the container label. It tells you . . . "How, and where, to use," "How to give First Aid," and have "recommended" first aid materials on hand- should an emergency arise "How to dispose of can," Remember: Little children are very curious and will try to taste everything, so . . . Keep containers away from children
