  1. Thoroughly clean all gasket surfaces. Using a tap, clean
    head bolt holes. Clean oil gallery by blowing compressed air into oil
    filter adapter, filter by-pass, oil gallery and crankshaft oil feed
    holes.

  2. Measure cylinder bore diameter crosswise to cylinder block
    about 1/2" below top of bore. Repeat measurement at bottom of bore.
    Subtract smaller diameter from larger diameter to determine taper.
    Repeat measurements for each cylinder.

  3. Repeat measurements with measuring device rotated 120
    degrees. Repeat this step for a total of 3 measurements. Cylinder out-
    of-round is difference between measurements. Repeat for each cylinder.

  4. Bore and hone cylinders for oversize pistons if taper or
    out-of-round exceeds specification. Move hone up and down to provide a
    60-degree crosshatch pattern. DO NOT use a rigid hone or exceed 10
    strokes per cylinder. See CYLINDER BLOCK table under ENGINE
    SPECIFICATIONS.

LUBRICATION

ENGINE OILING

An oil pump driven by distributor supplies oil through a full-flow oil filter into an internal oil passage. This passage provides oil to valve lifter bores and then to camshaft and crankshaft bearings. Oil then flows from hydraulic valve lifters through push rods to rocker arms.

Crankcase Capacity

Oil capacity is 6.0 qts. (5.7L) with filter change.

Oil Pressure

Minimum oil pressure should be 13 psi (89.6 kPa) at 600 RPM. Normal oil pressure should be 37-75 psi (255.1-517.1 kPa) above 1600 RPM. Oil pressure relief is 75 psi (517.1 kPa).

OIL PUMP

Removal & Disassembly

Remove mounting bolts and oil pump. DO NOT move oil pick-up pipe in pump body. If oil pick-up pipe is moved, pick-up pipe MUST be replaced to ensure an airtight seal. Remove pump cover. Disassemble pump.
