CYLINDER HEAD
OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION—CYLINDER HEAD
The cast iron cylinder heads (Fig. 6) are mounted to the cylinder block using ten bolts. The spark plugs are located in the peak of the wedge between the valves.
OPERATION—CYLINDER HEAD
The cylinder head closes the combustion chamber allowing the pistons to compress the air fuel mixture to the correct ratio for ignition. The valves located in the cylinder head open and close to either allow clean air into the combustion chamber or to allow the exhaust gases out, depending on the stroke of the engine.
OPERATION - CYLINDER HEAD COVER GASKET
The steel-backed silicone gasket is designed to seal the cylinder head cover for long periods of time through extensive heat and cold, without failure. The gasket is designed to be reusable.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—CYLINDER HEAD GASKET FAILURE
Fig.6CylinderHeadAssembly—V-8GasEngines 1 - EXHAUST VALVE 2 - SPARK PLUGS 3 - EXHAUST VALVES 4 - SPARK PLUGS 5 - EXHAUST VALVE 6 - INTAKE VALVES 7 - INTAKE VALVES
DESCRIPTION - CYLINDER HEAD COVER GASKET
The cylinder head cover gasket (Fig. 7) is a steel- backed silicone gasket, designed for long life usage.
Fig.7CylinderHeadCoverGasketV-8GasEngines 1 - CYLINDER HEAD COVER GASKET
A cylinder head gasket leak can be located between adjacent cylinders or between a cylinder and the adjacent water jacket. † Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket
leaking between adjacent cylinders are:
− Loss of engine power − Engine misfiring − Poor fuel economy
† Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket leaking between a cylinder and an adjacent water jacket are:
− Engine overheating − Loss of coolant − Excessive steam (white smoke) emitting from
exhaust
− Coolant foaming
CYLINDER-TO-CYLINDER LEAKAGE TEST
To determine if an engine cylinder head gasket is leaking between adjacent cylinders, follow the proce- dures in Cylinder Compression Pressure Test in this section. An engine cylinder head gasket leaking between adjacent cylinders will result in approxi- mately a 50–70% reduction in compression pressure.
CYLINDER-TO-WATER JACKET LEAKAGE TEST
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING WITH COOLANT PRES- SURE CAP REMOVED.
VISUAL TEST METHOD
With the engine cool, remove the coolant pressure cap. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until thermostat opens.
ENGINE - 5.9L
9 - 244
CYLINDER HEAD (Continued)
If a large combustion/compression pressure leak
exists, bubbles will be visible in the coolant.
COOLING SYSTEM TESTER METHOD
WARNING: WITH COOLING SYSTEM TESTER IN PLACE, PRESSURE WILL BUILD UP FAST. EXCES- SIVE PRESSURE BUILT UP, BY CONTINUOUS ENGINE OPERATION, MUST BE RELEASED TO A SAFE PRESSURE POINT. NEVER PERMIT PRES- SURE TO EXCEED 138 kPa (20 psi).
Install Cooling System Tester 7700 or equivalent to pressure cap neck. Start the engine and observe the tester’s pressure gauge. If gauge pulsates with every power stroke of a cylinder a combustion pressure leak is evident.
CHEMICAL TEST METHOD
Combustion leaks into the cooling system can also be checked by using Bloc-Chek Kit C-3685-A or equivalent. Perform test following the procedures supplied with the tool kit.

INTAKE/EXHAUST VALVES & SEATS DESCRIPTION
Both the intake and exhaust valves are made of
steel. The intake valve is 48.768 mm (1.92 inches) in
diameter and the exhaust valve is 41.148 mm (1.62
inches) in diameter and has a 2.032 mm (0.080 inch)
wafer interia welded to the tip for durability. These
valves are not splayed.
STANDARD PROCEDURE—VALVES, GUIDES AND SPRINGS
VALVE CLEANING
Clean valves thoroughly. Discard burned, warped,
or cracked valves.
Remove carbon and varnish deposits from inside of
valve guides with a reliable guide cleaner.
VALVE GUIDES
Measure valve stems for wear. If wear exceeds
0.051 mm (0.002 in.), replace the valve.
Measure valve stem guide clearance as follows: (1) Install Valve Guide Sleeve Tool C-3973 over valve stem and install valve (Fig. 10). The special sleeve places the valve at the correct height for checking with a dial indicator.
Fig.11MeasuringValveGuideWear

2 - SPECIAL TOOL C-3339
(3) Move valve to and from the indicator. The total dial indicator reading should not exceed 0.432 mm (0.017 in.). Ream the guides for valves with oversize stems if dial indicator reading is excessive or if the stems are scuffed or scored.
VALVE GUIDES
Service valves with oversize stems are available.

(2) Measure the concentricity of valve seat using a
dial indicator. Total runout should not exceed 0.051
mm (0.002 in.) total indicator reading.
(3) Inspect the valve seat with Prussian blue, to
determine where the valve contacts the seat. To do
this, coat valve seat LIGHTLY with Prussian blue
then set valve in place. Rotate the valve with light
pressure. If the blue is transferred to the center of
valve face, contact is satisfactory. If the blue is trans-
ferred to the top edge of valve face, lower valve seat
with a 15° stone. If the blue is transferred to bottom
edge of valve face raise valve seat with a 60° stone.
(4) When seat is properly positioned the width of
intake seats should be 1.016-1.524 mm (0.040-0.060
in.). The width of the exhaust seats should be 1.524-
2.032 mm (0.060-0.080 in.).
VALVE SPRINGS
Whenever valves have been removed for inspection, reconditioning or replacement, valve springs should be tested. As an example the compression length of the spring to be tested is 1-5/16 in.. Turn table of Universal Valve Spring Tester Tool until surface is in line with the 1-5/16 in. mark on the threaded stud. Be sure the zero mark is to the front (Fig. 15). Place spring over stud on the table and lift compressing lever to set tone device. Pull on torque wrench until ping is heard. Take reading on torque wrench at this instant. Multiply this reading by 2. This will give the spring load at test length. Fractional measurements are indicated on the table for finer adjustments. Refer to specifications to obtain specified height and allowable tensions. Discard the springs that do not meet specifications.

INSPECTION
Examine block for cracks or fractures. The cylinder walls should be checked for out-of- round and taper. Refer to Honing Cylinder Bores in the Service Procedures portion of this Section.
Inspect the oil line plug, the oil line plug is located in the vertical passage at the rear of the block between the oil-to-filter and oil-from-filter passages (Fig. 19). Improper installation or missing plug could cause erratic, low, or no oil pressure.
The oil plug must come out the bottom. Use flat dowel, down the oil pressure sending unit hole from the top, to remove oil plug.

Each bearing cap has a small V-groove across the parting face. When installing the lower bearing shell, be certain that the V-groove in the shell is in line with the V-groove in the cap. This provides lubrica- tion of the cylinder wall in the opposite bank.
The bearing shells must be installed so that the tangs are in the machined grooves in the rods and caps.
Limits of taper or out-of-round on any crankshaft
journals should be held to 0.025 mm (0.001 in.).
Bearings are available in 0.025 mm (0.001 in.), 0.051

CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARINGS DESCRIPTION
Main bearings (Fig. 26) are located in the cylinder block. One half of the main bearing is located in the crankshaft main bore the other half of the matching bearing is located in the main bearing cap. there are five main bearings. Number three main bearing is flanged, this flange controls crankshaft thrust.
Fig.26MainBearingOrientation
OPERATION
The main bearings encircle the crankshaft main bearing journals, this aligns the crankshaft to the centerline of the engine and allows the crankshaft to turn without wobbling or shaking therefore eliminat- ing vibration. The main bearings are available in standard and undersizes.
STANDARD PROCEDURE—CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARING FITTING
Bearing caps are not interchangeable and should
be marked at removal to ensure correct assembly.
Upper and lower bearing halves are NOT inter-
changeable. Lower main bearing halves of No.2 and 4
are interchangeable.
Upper and lower No.3 bearing halves are flanged to carry the crankshaft thrust loads. They are NOT interchangeable with any other bearing halves in the engine (Fig. 27). Bearing shells are available in stan- dard and the following undersizes: Never install an undersize bearing that will reduce clearance below specifications.

CRANKSHAFT OIL SEAL - FRONT DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft front seal is a one piece viton seal with a steel housing. The front seal is located in the engine front cover.
OPERATION
The crankshaft seals prevent oil from leaking from around the crankshaft, either from the rear of the engine or from the engine front cover.
REMOVAL
The oil seal can be replaced without removing the timing chain cover, provided that the cover is not misaligned.
(1) Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. (2) Remove vibration damper to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/VIBRATION DAMPER - REMOVAL).
