Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System
Closed-Type
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 crankcase ventilation system and
making an air bypass or idle speed adjustment.
The
removal of the crankcase ventilation system from the
engine will adversely affect fuel economy and engine
crankcase ventilation with resultant shortening of
engine life.
Engine Oil Leaks
NOTE: Due to their remote location, rear engine oil
leaks may be very difficult to pinpoint. This area is also
very difficult to clean. Make sure to eliminate all other
possibilities before removing the engine to repair a
suspected leak in this area.
When diagnosing engine oil leaks, it is important that
the source and location of the leak be positively
identified prior to service. There are two methods of
diagnosing engine oil leaks. The following procedure
has been found to be very effective and requires only
a minimum of equipment. Prior to using this
procedure, it is important to clean the cylinder block
pan (6675) and flywheel housing areas with a suitable
solvent to remove all traces of oil.
Fluorescent Oil Additive Method
To perform oil leak diagnosis using Rotunda Oil Leak
Detector Kit 112.R0030, or equivalent, perform the
followina procedure.
Al 9016-A
1. Clean engine with a suitable solvent to remove all
traces of oil.
2. Drain engine oil from crankcase and refill with
recommended oil, premixed with Rotunda
Fluorescent Oil Additive 112-ROOI 5, or
equivalent. Use 29.6ml (1 fluid ounce) of
fluorescent additive. If oil is not premixed,
fluorescent additive must be added to crankcase
first.
3. Run engine for 15 minutes. Stop engine and
inspect all seal and gasket areas for leaks using
Rotunda Oil Leak Detector Y 112-R0021 (part of
112-R0030 Kit) Lamp or equivalent. A clear bright
yellow or orange area will identify leak. For
extremely small leaks, several hours may be
required for the leak to appear.
4. If necessary, pressurize main oil gallery system to
locate leaks due to improperly sealed, loose or
cocked plugs. If flywheel bolts leak oil, look for
sealer on threads.
5. Service all leaks as required.
Pressure Method
As an alternative testing procedure, the crankcase can
be pressurized, not to exceed 27 kPa (4 psi), to locate
oil leaks. The following materials are required to
fabricate the tool to be used.
l
Air supply and air hose.
l
Air pressure gauge that registers pressure in
increments of one psi.
l
Air line shutoff valve.
l
Appropriate fittings to attach the above parts to oil
fill, PCV grommet holes and PCV fresh air hose
tube.
l
Appropriate plugs to seal any openings leading to
crankcase.
l
A solution of liquid detergent and water to be
applied with a suitable type applicator such as a
squirt bottle or brush.
Fabricate the air supply hose to include the air line
shutoff valve and the appropriate adapter to permit the
air to enter the engine through the rocker arm cover
tube. Fabricate the air pressure gauge to a suitable
adapter for installation on the engine at the oil fill
opening.
Testing Procedure
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when
1.
pressurizing crankcase. Applying air
pressure above specified pressure risks
damage to seals, gaskets and core plugs.
Under no circumstances should pressure be
allowed to exceed 27 kPa (4 psi).
Open air supply valve until pressure gauge
maintains 20 kPa (3 psi).
Inspect sealed and/or gasketed areas for leaks
2.
by applying a solution of liquid detergent and
water over areas for formation of bubbles, which
indicates leakage.

Leakage Points
Examine the following areas for oil leakage.
l
Rocker cover sealant or gaskets
l
Intake manifold gaskets/end seals
l
Cylinder head gaskets
l
Oil bypass filter (6714)
l
Oil level indicator (dipstick) tube connection
l
Oil pressure sensor (9278)
l
Cup plugs and/or pipe plugs at end of oil
passages
l
Oil pan gasket (6710)
l
Oil pan front and rear end seals
l
Crankshaft front seal (6700)
l
Crankshaft rear oil seal (6701)
l
Oil pump
l
Crankshaft rear oil seal (6701)
Air leakage in area around a crankshaft rear oil seal
(6701) does not necessarily indicate a rear seal leak.
However, if no other cause can be found for oil
leakage, it can be assumed that rear seal is the cause
of the oil leakage.
l
Rear main bearing cap parting line.
l
Rear main bearing cap and seals.
l
Flywheel mounting bolt holes.
l
Rear cup plugs and/or pipe plugs at the end of oil
passages.
Oil leaks at crimped seams in sheet metal parts and
cracks in cast or stamped parts can be detected when
pressurizing the crankcase.
Light foaming equally around rocker arm cover bolts
and crankshaft seals is not detrimental and no
corrections are required in such cases.
Compression Test
Compression Gauge Check
1.
Make sure oil in crankcase is of the correct
viscosity and at proper level, and battery (10655)
is properly charged. Operate the engine until it is
at normal operating temperature. Turn off ignition
switch (11572), then remove all spark plugs
(12405).
Set throttle plates in wide-open position.
Install a compression gauge such as Rotunda
Compression Tester 059-R0009, or equivalent, in
No. 1 cylinder.
Install an auxiliary starter switch in starting circuit.
With ignition switch (11572) in the OFF position,
and using auxiliary starter switch, crank engine at
least five compression strokes and record highest
reading. Note the approximate number of
compression strokes required to obtain the
highest reading.
5.
Repeat test on each cylinder, cranking the engine
approximately the same number of compression
strokes.
Test Results
The indicated compression pressures are considered
within specification if the lowest reading cylinder is
within 75 percent of the highest. Refer to the chart
It is recommended the Compression Pressure Limit
Chart be used when checking cylinder compression so
that the lowest reading number is 75 percent of the
highest reading.
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt
approximately one tablespoon of SAE 50 weight, or
equivalent, engine oil on top of the pistons in the low
reading cylinders. Repeat compression pressure
check on these cylinders.
1. If compression improves considerably, piston
rings are at fault.
2. If compression does not improve, valves are
sticking or seating poorly.
3. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low
compression pressures and squirting oil on
pistons does not increase compression, cause
may be a cylinder head gasket leak between
cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders
could result from this problem.
Example Readings
If, after checking the compression pressures in all
cylinders, it was found that the highest reading
obtained was 1351 kPa (196 psi) and the lowest
pressure reading was 1069 kPa (155 psi), the engine
is within specification and the compression is
considered satisfactory.
Cylinder Leakage Detector
When a cylinder produces a low reading, the use of
Rotunda Pressurization Kit 014-00705, or equivalent,
will be helpful in pinpointing the exact cause.
The leakage detector is inserted in the spark plug
hole, the piston is brought up to top dead center on the
compression stroke, and compressed air is admitted.
Once the combustion chamber is pressurized, a
special gauge will read the percentage of leakage.
Leakage exceeding 20 percent is considered
excessive.
While the air pressure is retained in the cylinder, listen
for the hiss of escaping air. A leak by the intake valve
(6507) will be audible in the carburetor. A leak by the
exhaust valve (6505) can be heard at the exhaust
pipe. Leakage past the rings will be audible at the
positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) connection. If air
is passing through a blown gasket to an adjacent
cylinder, the noise will be evident at the spark plug
hole of the cylinder into which the air is leaking. Cracks
in the cylinder block (6010), or gasket leakage into the
cooling system may be detected by a stream of
bubbles in the radiator (8005).
Engine Service
Oil Leak and Valve
The cylinder leakage detector can be used to test for
engine oil leaks and to check the valve seals for
leakage.
1. Plug all crankcase openings except the one used
2. Connect the detector to a crankcase opening.
3. Using a solution of liquid soap and water, brush
4.
Intake Manifold Vacuum Test
Bring the engine to normal operating temperature.
Connect Rotunda Vacuum/Pressure Tester
059-00008, or equivalent, to the intake manifold. Run
the engine at the specified idle speed.
The vacuum gauge should read between -51 and
-74 kPa (15 and 22 in-Hg) depending upon the engine

The reading should be quite steady. It may be
necessary to adjust the gauge damper control (where
used) if the needle is fluttering rapidly. Adjust damper
until needle moves easily without excessive flutter.
Vacuum Gauge Readings - Interpretation
A careful study of the vacuum gauge reading while the
engine is idling will help pinpoint trouble areas. Always
conduct other appropriate tests before arriving at a
final diagnostic decision. Remember that vacuum
gauge readings, although helpful, must be interpreted
with care.
Most vacuum gauges have a “normal” band indicated
on the aauae face.

2.
NORMAL READING DURING RAPID
ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION: When
engine is rapidly accelerated (dotted needle),
needle will drop to a low (not to 0) reading. When
throttle is suddenly released, the needle will snap

WORN VALVE GUIDES: When the needle
8.
oscillates (swings back and forth) over a 13 kPa
(4 in-Hg) range at idle speed, the valve guides
(6510) could be worn. As engine speed is
increased, the needle will become steady if the
guides are responsible.
WEAK VALVE SPRINGS: When the needle
9.
oscillation becomes more violent as engine rpm
is increased, weak valve springs (6513) are
indicated. The reading at idle could be relatively
steady.
LATE VALVE TIMING: A steady but low reading

could be caused by late valve timing.
11. IGNITION TIMING RETARDING: Retarded
ignition timing will produce a steady but low
reading.
INSUFFICIENT SPARK PLUG GAP: When plugs

are gapped too close, a regular, small pulsation
of the needle can occur.

caused by an intake manifold or carburetor
mounting flange gasket leak.

SERVICE PROCEDURES (Continued)
5.
15. RESTRICTED EXHAUST SYSTEM: When the
engine is first started and is idled, the reading
may be normal. But, as the engine rpm is
increased, back pressure caused by a clogged
exhaust pipe, etc., will cause the needle to slowly
drop to 0. The needle then may slowly rise.
Excessive exhaust clogging will cause the needle
to drop to a low point even if the engine is only
idled.
When vacuum leaks are indicated, search out and
correct the condition. Excess air leaking into the
system will upset the fuel mixture and cause
conditions such as rough idle, missing, or burned
valves. ALWAYS SERVICE VACUUM LEAKS.
Oil Consumption Test
The following diagnostic procedure is intended to be
used to determine the source of excessive internal oil
consumption.
1. Determine what is considered to be excessive oil
consumption. Note hours of engine service and
the following observations:
a. How many hours of engine use per 0.95 liter
(1 U.S. quart) of oil used?
b. How is the engine being used (e.g., sustained
high-speed operation, heavy loads, high
ambient temperature, etc.)?
c. What is the expected normal oil consumption?
2. Verify that the engine has no external oil leak as
described under Engine Oil Leaks in this section.
3. Verify that the oil level dipstick (6750) and oil
level indicator tube (6754) are unmodified and in
good condition. Verify that the oil level indicator
tube (6754) is properly seated in the block, and
the dipstick seats properly in the oil level indicator
tube (6754).
4. Verify that the engine is not being run in an
overfilled condition. Check the oil level at least
five minutes after a hot shutdown (engine must
be level). Under no circumstances should the oil
level be above the FULL line. If a significant
overfill is indicated, perform Steps 5a through 5d
to verify the dipstick calibration. If the dipstick
calibration checks OK, instruct the operator to
avoid overfilling the engine and return the engine
to service. To verify the engine’s actual oil
consumption, perform Steps 5e and 5f only after
the dipstick has been calibrated.
KEEP THE OIL IN THIS RANGE
Al 7629-E
Perform engine oil consumption test as follows:
a. Drain engine oil. Remove and replace oil filter.
Using 0.95 liter (1 U.S. quart) less than
recommended, refill crankcase with
recommended quality of oil.
b. Run the engine for three minutes (10 minutes
if cold), then turn engine off. Allow oil to drain
into the oil pan for an additional five minutes
(engine should be level).
c. Remove oil level dipstick (6750) and wipe
clean. Do not wipe using anything
contaminated with silicone compounds.
Reinstall oil level dipstick (6750) being sure to
seat the oil level dipstick (6750) firmly in the oil
level indicator tube (6754). Remove the oil
level dipstick (6750) and scribe a mark on the
back (unmarked) surface at the indicated oil
level. This should be about the same level as
the ADD mark on the face of the oil level
dipstick (6750).
d. Add 0.95 liter (1 U.S. quart) of oil. Restart the
engine and allow it to idle for at least two
minutes. Shut down and allow oil to drain back
for at least five minutes. Mark the dipstick
using the procedure above. This level may
range from slightly below the top of the crosshatched area to slightly below the letter F in
FULL.
e. Instruct the operator to run the engine as usual
and:
l
Check the oil level regularly at intervals of
three to five hours.
l
Call for service when the oil level drops
below the lower (ADD) mark previously
scribed on the dipstick.
l
In an emergency, add only 0.95 liter
quart) of the same oil and note the engine
hours at which the oil was added.
f. Check the oil level under the same conditions
as in Steps 5c and 5d, reading the back of the
dipstick where the scribe marks are located.
l
Measure the distance from the oil level to
the upper scribe mark on the dipstick and
record the measurement.
l
Measure the distance between the two
scribe marks and record the measurement.
l
Divide the first measurement by the
second. Add one to this total for every 0.95
liters (1 U.S. quart) added by the customer
as instructed in Step 5e.
l
Divide the engine hours operated during
the oil test by the result. This quantity is the
approximate oil consumption rate in hours
per quart.
g. If the calculated oil consumption rate is
unacceptable, proceed to Step 6.
Check PCV system. Make sure system is not

heads (6049) and cylinder block (6010).
If condition still exists, perform a cylinder
compression test as described in this section,
and/or perform a cylinder leak detection test with
Rotunda Pressurization Kit 014-00705, or
equivalent. This can be helpful in determining the
source of oil consumption, as an example,
valves, piston rings, etc.
Check valve guides (6510) for excessive
clearance. Replace all valve stem seals (6A517)
after correct valve guide clearance has been
verified.
IO.
NOTE: After checking for worn parts, if it is
determined parts should be replaced, make sure
correct replacement parts are used. Worn or
damaged internal engine components can cause
excessive oil consumption. Small deposits of oil
on tip of spark plugs (12405) can be a clue to
internal oil consumption. If internal oil
consumption still persists, proceed as follows:
a. Remove intake manifold(s), cylinder heads
(6049), oil pan and oil pump.
b. Check piston ring clearance, ring gap and ring
orientation as outlined in this section. Service
as required.
c. Check for excessive bearing clearance as
outlined in this section. Service as required.

Intake Valve Cleaning (Valves Installed)
Cleaning and Inspection
NOTE: The intake valve cleaning procedure is to be
used if there is a concern with engine hesitation, rough
idle, long crank times, and stall at idle and engine
engagement after cold starts.
NOTE: Many fluids are available to clean carburetors.
Some cleaning fluids also claim to remove intake valve
deposits (IVD). Engineering evaluation of these fluids
indicates no ability to remove the intake valve
deposits. If engine performance concerns have been
affected by cleaning fluids, it is most likely due to
cleanup of carburetor deposits. IVD is more difficult to

remove than carburetor deposits. IVD must be
COMPLETELY removed to restore cold start and
normal engine performance.
CAUTION:The overuse of cleaning fluids may
cause engine damage not covered under warranty.
CAUTION: Only walnut shell blasting using
Rotunda 014-00975 Carbon Blaster and
Automotive Borescope, or equivalent, is
recommended for removing carbon from engine
valves with the engine assembled. Other abrasives
may cause engine damage on start-up if not
completely removed.
1.
Perform engine inspection of vacuum lines and
wiring.
2. Perform normal engine diagnostics. Check fuel
and ignition systems.
3. If normal diagnostics have not resolved the
engine performance concerns, proceed with the
following IVD inspection steps.
4.
Remove any two spark plugs (12405).
5.
CAUTION: Do not bump the engine with the
remote starter switch or ignition switch with
the borescope in the spark plug hole or
attempt to view the valve while rotating the
engine. Damage to the borescope or engine
may result.
Use a remote starter switch to bump the engine
over until the intake valve (6507) is fully open in
the cylinder to be inspected.
6.
CAUTION: Do not power the borescope light
source from a vehicle battery (10655) while it
is being charged. For example, if the engine is
running or the battery (10655) is connected to
a charger, the lamp may fail.
Using the Rotunda Carbon Blaster and
Automotive Borescope 014-00975, or equivalent
automotive borescope, inspect the backside of
the intake valves (6507) through the spark plug
holes for the presence of carbon deposits.
Compare the deposits with the deposit rating
system chart. If any of the intake valves (6507)
appear to have a carbon deposit level of 7 or less
(lower number rating), intake valve cleaning is
required. If no carbon deposits are seen or the
deposit level is 8 or cleaner, the drive concern
may be the result of low volatility fuel.

Hydraulic Valve Tappet/Lash Adjuster
The hydraulic lash adjusters used in the overhead cam
2.3L engine are zero-lash hydraulic devices similar in
construction and operation to the hydraulic valve
tappets (6500) used on push rod engines. They are
cleaned, inspected and checked in the same manner
as hydraulic valve tappets The instructions below
apply equally to the lash adjuster and the valve tappet.
Hydraulic tappet noise may be caused by any of the
following:
1. Excessive collapsed tappet gap
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Excessive collapsed tappet gap may be caused by
loose valve train parts such as wear of tappet face,
worn roller finger follower (6529), or worn valve tip.
With valve tappet (6500) collapsed, check gap
between valve tip and roller finger follower to
determine if any other valve train parts are damaged,
or worn. Replace any worn or damaged parts.
A sticking tappet plunger may be caused by dirt, chips,
or varnish inside the tappet. The sticking can be
corrected by disassembling the valve tappet and
removing the dirt, chips or varnish that are causing the
condition.
A tappet check valve that is not functional may be
caused by an obstruction such as dirt or chips
preventing it from closing when operated, or it may be
caused by a broken check valve spring within the
tappet.
Air bubbles in the lubrication system will prevent the
valve tappet from supporting the valve spring load and
may be caused by an oil level that is too high or too
low, or by air being drawn into the system through a
hole, crack or leaking gasket on the oil pump screen
cover and tube (6622).
01-13
Write down cam lift and repeat for the rest of the
cam lobes. If any lobe’s lift is below the minimum
lift specified in Section 02, replace the camshaft.
Sticking tappet plunger
Tappet check valve not functioning properly
Air in lubrication system
Leak-down rate too rapid
Excessive valve guide wear
If the leakdown time is below the specified time for
used valve tappets, noisy operation may result. If no
other cause for noisy valve tappets can be found, the
leakdown rate should be checked, and any outside the
specification should be replaced.
Camshaft End Play
CAUTION: Prying against the camshaft sprocket
(6256) with valve train load on the camshaft
(6251), can break or damage the camshaft

Cylinder Block
Cleaning and Inspection
If the engine has been removed and disassembled,
remove all core plugs and pipe plugs. Clean the
cylinder block (6010) using solvent, preferably in a hot
tank. Follow all safety and environmental precautions
with regard to the solvent. Make sure all oil and dirt is
cleaned from the cylinder block.
Make sure all oil passageways are clean. A rifle-
cleaning brush is useful for this purpose.
Use a long, thin screwdriver to scrape the bottom of
the water jackets through the openings in the top deck
to make sure all scale and deposits are removed. Most
engines have a “dead spot” at the back of the block
where the coolant makes a U-turn and drops any
deposits. If the water jackets are not thoroughly
cleaned, overheating will result.
Cylinder Block Distortion
Cylinder block distortion is rare because cylinder
blocks are normalized after casting, and before
machining, to relieve internal stresses from the casting
process.
The most probable cause of cylinder block distortion
would be extreme overheating which would probably
be accompanied by other damage such as scored
bearings or cylinder walls, warped cylinder heads
(6049) and possible cylinder block cracks.
Cylinder Head Deck Flatness
Place a straightedge across the cylinder head
1.
deck in three positions and check for any gaps
between the straightedge and the deck with a
feeler gauge. The deck should be flat within
0.76mm (0.003 in.) over 152mm (6 inches) and
0.152mm (0.006 in.) overall.
If necessary, resurface or replace cylinder block
2.
(6010).
Main Bearing Bore Alignment
Main bearing bore misalignment may be suspected in
cases of premature bearing wear if one bearing wears
considerably more than the others or bearings wear
cone-shaped.
NOTE: Bearings are not available with oversize
outside diameters to allow line boring.
If bearing misalignment is suspected:
Acquire a gauge bar the same diameter as the
1.
crankshaft journals and straight within 0.076mm
(0.003 in.).
Put a thin coating of Prussian Blue or similar die
2.

Insert good bearings in block.
3.
Insert gauge bar in bearings and rotate one turn.
4.
Remove gauge bar.
5.
Inspect bearings. Blue die should be deposited
6.
evenly on all bearings. If die appears on only one
side or bottom of bearing or not at all, block is
distorted and should be replaced.

Cylinder Walls, Refinishing
Cleaning
If the entire engine has NOT been disassembled,
clean the individual cylinder bore(s) with a cloth
soaked in solvent. Dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
If the entire engine HAS been disassembled, refer to
Cylinder Block Cleaning in this section.
After any cylinder bore service operation, such as
honing or deglazing, clean the bore(s) with soap or
detergent and water. Then thoroughly rinse the bore(s)
with clean water to remove the soap or detergent, and
wipe the bore(s) dry with a clean lint-free cloth. Finally,
wipe the bore(s) with a clean cloth dipped in
X0-1 OW30-QSP or -DSP, or equivalent, motor oil
meeting Ford specification ESE-M2C153-E.
Inspection
Before removing the piston (6108):
1. Check the amount of ridge at the top of the bore.
A thick ridge is a sign of considerable wear.
2. Look for signs of coolant in the bore, especially
rust on the bore surface indicating possible
leaking head gasket or a crack in the cylinder
bore.
3. Check the top of the piston for possible oversize.
If oversize pistons have been installed, the
oversize will be stamped in the top of the piston
(6110).
After the piston is removed and the bore cleaned:
4.
Look for scoring. These are parallel gouges
usually on the piston thrust side, that is, at right
angles to the piston pin. If scored, the cylinder will
have to be refinished.
5.
Look for cracks. If unsure about a crack, tiny
cracks may be detected by coating the bore with
a mixture of 25 percent kerosene and 75 percent
light engine oil. Wipe the bore dry and
immediately apply a coating of zinc oxide
dissolved in wood alcohol. Do not use rubbing
alcohol as a substitute. If cracks are present, the
coating will become discolored at the damaged
area. Replace the cylinder block if it is cracked.
Magnafluxing may also be used.
6.
Check for cylinder wall glazing. When refinished,
the cylinder bore is given a slightly rough finish
with a cylinder hone to help seat the new piston
rings. This finish is worn away as the rings and
cylinder bore “mate” and the bore becomes
glassy smooth. If the engine has been run
enough for this to have happened, the cylinder
will at least have to be honed to seat the new
rings on the piston. New rings should be installed
when the piston is removed and reinstalled
because piston rings are given a special finish by
the factory to help them wear-in and seat. In
seating, the special finish is worn off. Reusing
piston rings will result in high oil consumption.
Cylinder Bore
Make sure cylinder bore is clean and dry before
measuring.
Using a suitable cylinder bore micrometer or gauge,
measure the cylinder bore(s) in the X and Y directions
(90 degrees apart) at points A, B, and C. The X
direction is parallel to the piston pin. The Y direction is
perpendicular to the piston pin and is the direction of
piston thrust.

Crankshaft
Cleaning
CAUTION: Handle the crankshaft (6303) with care
to avoid possible damage to the finished surfaces.
Clean the crankshaft with solvent, then blow out all oil
passages with compressed air.
Inspection
Measure the diameter of each journal in at least four
places to determine an out-of-round, taper or
undersize condition. For specifications, refer to the
specification section.
Crankshaft Runout
NOTE: Check crankshaft journals for out-of-round
before checking runout, or an out-of-round condition
on the center journal could be confused as excess
runout.
1.
Set V-blocks on surface plate and set crankshaft
on V-blocks supported on the outer two main
bearing journals.
2. Set up TOOL-4201 -C, or equivalent, Dial
Indicator with Bracketry to measure runout on
center main bearing journal.
3. Zero dial indicator.
4. Slowly rotate crankshaft one revolution and
record highest and lowest readings.

Refer to Section 02 for crankshaft journal
specifications.
Journals Refinishing
NOTE: Polish direction is clockwise as viewed from
the front of the crankshaft.
Dress minor imperfections such as scores, nicks or
burrs with an oil stone.
If journals are severely marred or exceed service limits
for wear, taper, or out-of-round, they should be
refinished to size for the next undersize crankshaft
main bearing.
Follow crankshaft lathe manufacturer’s instructions for
refinishing crankshaft.
If the journals will not clean up to less than the
maximum undersize bearing available, replace the
crankshaft.
Always reproduce the same journal shoulder radius
that existed originally. Too small a radius will result in
fatigue failure of the crankshaft. Too large a radius will
result in bearing failure due to radius ride of the
crankshaft bearing.
After refinishing the journals, chamfer the oil holes.
Polish the journals with a No. 500 grit polishing cloth
and engine oil (crocus cloth may also be used as a
polishing agent) to obtain a smooth finish.
Crankshaft Sprocket
Inspect crankshaft sprocket (6306) for chipped,
broken, or excessively worn teeth. Remove and

necessary to replace the cylinder block assembly.
Oversize pistons are not available for this engine.
Piston Rings - Fitting
Do not reinstall used piston rings. A special break-in
finish, and sometimes an anti-scuff coating, is given to
new piston rings by the factory. The purpose of the
special finish is to help the new piston rings and
cylinder bore mate properly. The special finish, like the
crosshatching on the cylinder bore, wears off during
break-in. The special finish will be already worn off
used rings so they probably will not seat,properly. For
this reason, attempting to reuse piston rings could lead
to excess oil consumption and possible cylinder
scoring.
Insert each piston ring backwards in the piston

ring groove into which it will be installed.
2. Measure the clearance between the ring and
groove (side clearance) with a feeler gauge and
check against the side clearance specifications in
Section 02.
PISTON
6108
NOTE: There is one size piston, available through
Service Parts, that can be used when the original
standard-size bore shows little wear and can be
cleaned up. The dimensions of this piston can fall
anywhere between 95.968-95.993 mm (3.7783-
3.7792 in.). This piston must be select-fitted to the
cylinder bore. It will likely be necessary to hone the
cylinder bore in order to produce the specified pistonto-bore clearance.
To determine if a Service Parts piston can be installed,
and if so, to fit the Service Parts piston, proceed as
follows:
1. Measure the cylinder bore as outlined in this
section under Cylinder Bore Measuring. If the
cylinder bore is not damaged, and wear, taper
and out-of-round are within specifications listed in
Section 02, the cylinder bore may be cleaned up
and a new Service Parts piston select-fitted to the
refurbished bore.
2. Hone the cylinder, if necessary, to restore a
proper crosshatch pattern so new rings can seat.
Remove as little of the cylinder wall as possible.
3. After any necessary honing of the cylinder bore,
check that the piston-to-bore clearance is to
specification. If the clearance is too great,
measure the cylinder bore diameter to determine
if it falls within the Service Limits found in the
Specifications in Section 02. If the bore diameter
falls within the Service Limits, it will be possible to
select-fit a new Service piston. If the bore
diameter exceeds the Service Limits, it will be

Piston and Piston Pin Fit
NOTE: New pistons come with fitted piston pins (6135)
and should not require refitting unless the connecting
rod bore is oversize.
The Ford 2.3L gasoline engine uses piston pins which
press into the connecting rods. The piston pivots on
the pin. There is no connecting rod bushing but rather
an interference fit between the piston pin and the
connecting rod.
