HYDRAULIC LIFTERS DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—HYDRAULIC TAPPETS
Before disassembling any part of the engine to cor- rect tappet noise, check the oil pressure. If vehicle has no oil pressure gauge, install a reliable gauge at the pressure sending-unit. The pressure should be between 207-552 kPa (30-80 psi) at 3,000 RPM.
level, check dipstick. The oil
Check the oil level after the engine reaches normal operating temperature. Allow 5 minutes to stabilize oil in the pan should never be above the FULL mark or below the ADD OIL mark on dipstick. Either of these two con- ditions could be responsible for noisy tappets.

(3) As the burnisher is pulled through the bushing, the bushing is expanded tight in the block and bur- nished to correct size (Fig. 36). DO NOT ream this bushing.
OIL LEVEL
HIGH
If oil level is above the FULL mark, it is possible for the connecting rods to dip into the oil. With the engine running, this condition could create foam in the oil pan. Foam in oil pan would be fed to the hydraulic tappets by the oil pump causing them to lose length and allow valves to seat noisily.
LOW
Low oil level may allow oil pump to take in air. When air is fed to the tappets, they lose length, which allows valves to seat noisily. Any leaks on
DR HYDRAULIC LIFTERS (Continued)
intake side of oil pump through which air can be drawn will create the same tappet action. Check the lubrication system from the intake strainer to the pump cover, including the relief valve retainer cap. When tappet noise is due to aeration, it may be intermittent or constant, and usually more than one tappet will be noisy. When oil level and leaks have been corrected, operate the engine at fast idle. Run engine for a sufficient time to allow all of the air inside the tappets to be bled out.
TAPPET NOISE DIAGNOSIS
(1) To determine source of tappet noise, operate
engine at idle with cylinder head covers removed.
(2) Feel each valve spring or rocker arm to detect noisy tappet. The noisy tappet will cause the affected spring and/or rocker arm to vibrate or feel rough in operation.
NOTE: Worn valve guides or cocked springs are sometimes mistaken for noisy tappets. If such is the case, noise may be dampened by applying side thrust on the valve spring. If noise is not apprecia- bly reduced, it can be assumed the noise is in the tappet. Inspect the rocker arm push rod sockets and push rod ends for wear.
(3) Valve tappet noise ranges from light noise to a heavy click. A light noise is usually caused by exces- sive leak-down around the unit plunger, or by the plunger partially sticking in the tappet body cylinder. The tappet should be replaced. A heavy click is caused by a tappet check valve not seating, or by for- eign particles wedged between the plunger and the tappet body. This will cause the plunger to stick in the down position. This heavy click will be accompa- nied by excessive clearance between the valve stem and rocker arm as valve closes. In either case, tappet assembly should be removed for inspection and clean- ing.
(4) The valve train generates a noise very much like a light tappet noise during normal operation. Care must be taken to ensure that tappets are mak- ing the noise. If more than one tappet seems to be noisy, it’s probably not the tappets.
LEAK-DOWN TEST
After cleaning and inspection, test each tappet for specified leak-down rate tolerance to ensure zero-lash operation (Fig. 37).
Swing the weighted arm of the hydraulic valve tap- pet tester away from the ram of the Universal Leak- Down Tester.
(1) Place a 7.925-7.950 mm (0.312-0.313 inch) diameter ball bearing on the plunger cap of the tap- pet.
ENGINE - 5.9L
9 - 259
(2) Lift the ram and position the tappet (with the
ball bearing) inside the tester cup.
(3) Lower the ram, then adjust the nose of the ram until it contacts the ball bearing. DO NOT tighten the hex nut on the ram.
(4) Fill the tester cup with hydraulic valve tappet
test oil until the tappet is completely submerged.
(5) Swing the weighted arm onto the push rod and pump the tappet plunger up and down to remove air. When the air bubbles cease, swing the weighted arm away and allow the plunger to rise to the normal position.
(6) Adjust the nose of the ram to align the pointer with the SET mark on the scale of the tester and tighten the hex nut.
(7) Slowly swing the weighted arm onto the push
rod.
(8) Rotate the cup by turning the handle at the
base of the tester clockwise one revolution every 2
seconds.
(9) Observe the leak-down time interval from the
instant the pointer aligns with the START mark on
the scale until the pointer aligns with the 0.125
mark. A normally functioning tappet will require
20-110 seconds to leak-down. Discard tappets with
leak-down time interval not within this specification.

PISTON & CONNECTING ROD DESCRIPTION
The pistons are made of aluminum and have three ring grooves, the top two grooves are for the compres- sion rings and the bottom groove is for the oil control ring. The connecting rods are forged steel and are coined prior to heat treat. The piston pins are press fit.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PISTON FITTING
Piston and cylinder wall must be clean and dry. Specified clearance between the piston and the cylin- der wall is 0.013-0.038 mm (0.0005-0.0015 inch) at 21°C (70°F).
Piston diameter should be measured at the top of skirt, 90° to piston pin axis. Cylinder bores should be measured halfway down the cylinder bore and trans- verse to the engine crankshaft center line.
Pistons and cylinder bores should be measured at
normal room temperature, 21°C (70°F).
Check the pistons for taper and elliptical shape before they are fitted into the cylinder bore (Fig. 38).

OPERATION
The pump draws oil through the screen and inlet tube from the sump at the rear of the oil pan. The oil is driven between the drive and idler gears and pump body, then forced through the outlet to the block. An oil gallery in the block channels the oil to the inlet side of the full flow oil filter. After passing through the filter element, the oil passes from the center outlet of the filter through an oil gallery that channels the oil up to the main gallery, which extends the entire length on the right side of the block. The oil then goes down to the No. 1 main bear- ing, back up to the left side of the block, and into the oil gallery on the left side of the engine.
Galleries extend downward from the main oil gal- lery to the upper shell of each main bearing. The crankshaft is drilled internally to pass oil from the main bearing journals to the connecting rod journals. Each connecting rod bearing has half a hole in it, oil passes through the hole when the rods rotate and the hole lines up, oil is then thrown off as the rod rotates. This oil throwoff lubricates the camshaft lobes, distributor drive gear, cylinder walls, and pis- ton pins.
The hydraulic valve tappets receive oil directly from the main oil gallery. The camshaft bearings receive oil from the main bearing galleries. The front camshaft bearing journal passes oil through the cam- shaft sprocket to the timing chain. Oil drains back to the oil pan under the No. 1 main bearing cap.
The oil supply for the rocker arms and bridged pivot assemblies is provided by the hydraulic valve tappets, which pass oil through hollow push rods to a hole in the corresponding rocker arm. Oil from the rocker arm lubricates the valve train components. The oil then passes down through the push rod guide holes and the oil drain-back passages in the cylinder head, past the valve tappet area, and then returns to the oil pan (Fig. 52).
(5) Raise the transmission enough to remove the
mount from the crossmember.
(6) Remove the mount.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Threadlocking compound must be applied to the bolts before installation.
(1) Install the two bolts that attach the transmis-
sion mount to the transmission bracket.
(2) Torque the bolts to 61N·m (45 ft.lbs.) torque. (3) Lower the transmission so the transmission mount rests on the crossmember, and the studs of the transmission mount are aligned in the slots in the crossmember.

studs through the crossmember access slot. (5) Torque the nuts to 54N·m (40 ft. lbs.).
LUBRICATION DESCRIPTION
A gear-type positive displacement pump (Fig. 51) is mounted at the underside of the rear main bearing cap. The pump uses a pick-up tube and screen assembly to gather engine oil from the oil pan.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—ENGINE OIL LEAKS
Begin with a through visual
inspection of the engine, particularly at the area of the suspected leak. If an oil leak source is not readily identifiable, the following steps should be followed:
(1) Do not clean or degrease the engine at this time because some solvents may cause rubber to swell, temporarily stopping the leak.
(2) Add an oil-soluble dye (use as recommended by manufacturer). Start the engine and let idle for approximately 15 minutes. Check the oil dipstick to be sure the dye is thoroughly mixed as indicated with a bright yellow color under a black light source. (3) Using a black light, inspect the entire engine for fluorescent dye, particularly at the suspected area of oil leak. If the oil leak is found and identified, repair per service manual instructions.
(4) If dye is not observed, drive the vehicle at var- ious speeds for approximately 24km (15 miles), and repeat previous step.
(5) If the oil leak source is not positively identified at this time, proceed with the air leak detection test method as follows:
(6) Disconnect the breather cap to air cleaner hose at the breather cap end. Cap or plug breather cap nipple.
(7) Remove the PCV valve from the cylinder head
cover. Cap or plug the PCV valve grommet.
(8) Attach an air hose with pressure gauge and
regulator to the dipstick tube.
CAUTION: Do not subject the engine assembly to more than 20.6 kpa (3 PSI) of test pressure.
(9) Gradually apply air pressure from 1 psi to 2.5
psi maximum while applying soapy water at the sus-
pected source. Adjust the regulator to the suitable
test pressure that provide the best bubbles which
will pinpoint the leak source. If the oil
leak is
detected and identified, repair per service manual
procedures.
(10) If the leakage occurs at the rear oil seal area, refer to the section, Inspection for Rear Seal Area Leak.
(11) If no leaks are detected, turn off the air sup- ply and remove the air hose and all plugs and caps. Install the PCV valve and breather cap hose. Proceed to next step.
(12) Clean the oil off the suspect oil
leak area using a suitable solvent. Drive the vehicle at various speeds approximately 24 km (15 miles). Inspect the engine for signs of an oil leak by using a black light.

INTAKE MANIFOLD DESCRIPTION
The aluminum intake manifold (Fig. 67) is a single plane design with equal length runners and uses a separate plenum, therefore the manifold does have a plenum gasket. It also uses separate flange gaskets and front and rear cross-over gaskets. Extreme care must be used when sealing the gaskets to ensure that excess sealant does not enter the intake runners causing a restriction. Whenever the intake manifold is removed inspect the plenum pan for evidence of excess oil buildup, this condition indicates that the plenum pan gasket is leaking.
