CYLINDER HEAD
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - CYLINDER HEAD
The cylinder heads are made of an aluminum alloy. The cylinder head features two valves per cylinder with pressed in powdered metal valve guides. The cylinder heads also provide enclosures for the timing chain drain, necessitating unique left and right cylin- der heads.
DESCRIPTION - VALVE GUIDES
The valve guides are made of powered metal and are pressed into the cylinder head. The guides are not replaceable or serviceable, and valve guide ream- ing is not recommended. If the guides are worn beyond acceptable limits, replace the cylinder heads.

CAMSHAFT(S) - LEFT DESCRIPTION
The camshafts consist of powdered metal steel lobes which are sinter-bonded to a steel tube. A steel post or nose piece is friction-welded to the steel cam- shaft tube. Five bearing journals are machined into the camshaft, four on the steel tube and one on the steel nose piece. Camshaft end play is controlled by two thrust walls that border the nose piece journal. Engine oil enters the hollow camshafts at the third journal and lubricates every intake lobe rocker through a drilled passage in the intake lobe.
REMOVAL
CAUTION: When the timing chain is removed and the cylinder heads are still installed, DO NOT force- fully rotate the camshafts or crankshaft indepen- dently of each other. Severe valve and/or piston damage can occur.

roller and camshaft lubrication.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HYDRAULIC LASH ADJUSTER
A tappet-like noise may be produced from several
items. Check the following items.
(1) Engine oil level too high or too low. This may cause aerated oil to enter the adjusters and cause them to be spongy.
(2) Insufficient running time after rebuilding cylin- der head. Low speed running up to 1 hour may be required.
(3) Turn engine off and let set for a few minutes before restarting. Repeat this several times after engine has reached normal operating temperature.
(4) Low oil pressure.
(5) The oil restrictor in cylinder head gasket or the oil passage to the cylinder head is plugged with debris.

VALVE STEM SEALS DESCRIPTION
The valve stem seals are made of rubber and incor- porate an integral steel valve spring seat. The inte- gral garter spring maintains consistent lubrication control to the valve stems.
ENGINE BLOCK DESCRIPTION
The cylinder block is made of cast iron. The block is a closed deck design with the left bank forward. To provide high rigidity and improved NVH an enhanced compacted graphite bedplate is bolted to the block. The block design allows coolant flow between the cylinders bores, and an internal coolant bypass to a single poppet inlet thermostat is included in the cast aluminum front cover.
STANDARD PROCEDURE—CYLINDER BORE HONING
Before honing, stuff plenty of clean shop towels under the bores and over the crankshaft to keep abrasive materials from entering the crankshaft area.
(1) Used carefully, the Cylinder Bore Sizing Hone C-823, equipped with 220 grit stones, is the best tool for this job. In addition to deglazing, it will reduce taper and out-of-round, as well as removing light scuffing, scoring and scratches. Usually, a few strokes will clean up a bore and maintain the required lim- its.
CAUTION: DO NOT use rigid type hones to remove cylinder wall glaze.
(2) Deglazing of the cylinder walls may be done if
the cylinder bore is straight and round. Use a cylin-
der surfacing hone, Honing Tool C-3501, equipped
with 280 grit stones (C-3501-3810). about 20-60
strokes, depending on the bore condition, will be suf-
ficient to provide a satisfactory surface. Using honing
oil C-3501-3880, or a light honing oil, available from
major oil distributors.
CAUTION: DO NOT use engine or transmission oil, mineral spirits, or kerosene.
DR ENGINE BLOCK (Continued)
(3) Honing should be done by moving the hone up and down fast enough to get a crosshatch pattern. The hone marks should INTERSECT at 50° to 60° for proper seating of rings (Fig. 48).
ENGINE - 4.7L
9 - 127
INSPECTION
(1) It is mandatory to use a dial bore gauge to measure each cylinder bore diameter. To correctly select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge, capable of reading in 0.003 mm (.0001 in.) INCRE- MENTS is required. If a bore gauge is not available, do not use an inside micrometer (Fig. 49).
Fig.48CYLINDERBORECROSSHATCHPATTERN 1 - CROSSHATCH PATTERN 2 - INTERSECT ANGLE
(4) A controlled hone motor speed between 200 and 300 RPM is necessary to obtain the proper cross- hatch angle. The number of up and down strokes per minute can be regulated to get the desired 50° to 60° angle. Faster up and down strokes increase the cross- hatch angle.
(5) After honing, it is necessary that the block be cleaned to remove all traces of abrasive. Use a brush to wash parts with a solution of hot water and deter- gent. Dry parts thoroughly. Use a clean, white, lint- free cloth to check that the bore is clean. Oil the bores after cleaning to prevent rusting.
CLEANING
Thoroughly clean the oil pan and engine block gas-
ket surfaces.
Use compressed air to clean out: † The galley at the oil filter adaptor hole. † The front and rear oil galley holes. † The feed holes for the crankshaft main bearings. Once the block has been completely cleaned, apply Loctite PST pipe sealant with Teflon 592 to the threads of the front and rear oil galley plugs. Tighten the 1/4 inch NPT plugs to 20 N·m (177 in. lbs.) torque. Tighten the 3/8 inch NPT plugs to 27 N·m (240 in. lbs.) torque.
Fig.49BOREGAUGE-TYPICAL
1 - FRONT 2 - BORE GAUGE 3 - CYLINDER BORE 4 - 38 MM (1.5 in)
(2) Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder bore at three levels below top of bore. Start perpen- dicular (across or at 90 degrees) to the axis of the crankshaft and then take two additional reading.
(3) Measure the cylinder bore diameter crosswise to the cylinder block near the top of the bore. Repeat the measurement near the middle of the bore, then repeat the measurement near the bottom of the bore. (4) Determine taper by subtracting the smaller
diameter from the larger diameter.
(5) Rotate measuring device 90° and repeat steps
above.
(6) Determine out-of-roundness by comparing the
difference between each measurement.
(7) If cylinder bore taper does not exceed 0.025
mm (0.001 inch) and out-of-roundness does not
exceed 0.025 mm (0.001 inch), the cylinder bore can
be honed. If the cylinder bore taper or out- of-round
condition exceeds these maximum limits, the cylinder
block must be replaced. A slight amount of taper
always exists in the cylinder bore after the engine
has been in use for a period of time.

Misaligned or bent connecting rods can cause abnormal wear on pistons, piston rings, cylinder walls, connecting rod bearings and crankshaft con- necting rod journals. If wear patterns or damage to any of these components indicate the probability of a misaligned connecting rod, inspect it for correct rod alignment. Replace misaligned, bent or twisted con- necting rods.
(1) Wipe the oil from the connecting rod journal. (2) Lubricate the upper bearing insert and install
in connecting rod.
(3) Use piston ring compressor and Guide Pins Special Tool 8507 (Fig. 52) to install the rod and pis- ton assemblies. The oil slinger slots in the rods must face front of the engine. The “F”’s near the piston wrist pin bore should point to the front of the engine.

CRANKSHAFT DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft is constructed of nodular cast iron. The crankshaft is a crosshaped four throw design with eight counterweights for balancing purposes. The crank- shaft is supported by five select fit main bearings with the number three serving as the thrust washer location. The main journals of the crankshaft are cross drilled to improve rod bearing lubrication. The number eight counterweight has provisions for crankshaft position sensor target wheel mounting. The select fit main bear- ing markings are located on the rear side of the target wheel. The crankshaft oil seals are one piece design. The front oil seal is retained in the timing chain cover, and the rear seal is pressed in to a bore formed by the cylinder block and the bedplate assembly.
