Introduction
This section covers various engine tests, adjustments, service procedures and cleaning/inspection procedures. Engine assembly and service specifications appear at the end of Section 02.
For engine disassembly, assembly, installation, adjustment procedures and specifications, refer to Section 02.
The 2.3L engine incorporates a closed-type crankcase ventilation system. Other than the crankcase ventilation system there are no exhaust emission controls or engine/emission control systems used with industrial versions of this engine.
To maintain the required performance level, the fuel system, ignition system and engine must be kept in good operating condition and meet recommended adjustment specifications.
Before replacing damaged or worn engine components such as the crankshaft (6303), cylinder head (6049), valve guide (6510), valves, camshaft (6251) or cylinder block (6010), make sure part(s) is not serviceable.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE, DO NOT OPERATETHE ENGINE UNTILTHE FAN BLADE (8600) HAS FIRST BEEN EXAMINED FOR
POSSIBLE CRACKS OR SEPARATION.
CAUTION: Use of abrasive grinding discs to remove gasket material from the engine sealing surfaces during repair procedures can contribute to engine damage and wear. Airborne debris and abrasive grit from the grinding disc may enter the engine through exposed cavities causing
premature wear and eventual engine damage. Ford Motor Company does not recommend using
abrasive grinding discs to remove engine gasket
material. Use manual gasket scrapers for removing gasket material from the engine sealing surfaces.
Take added care to prevent scratching or gouging
aluminum sealing surfaces.
Engine Identification Nameplate
For quick engine identification, refer to the Engine Identification Nameplate. The nameplate lists engine information required for proper servicing of the engine.
The Engine Identification Nameplate and identification
label provide information pertaining to engine displacement, serial number, model number, S.O./ Options, and model code.

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
(6010), cylinder heads (6049), valve covers (6582), oil
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
below.

SERVICE PROCEDURES (Continued)
Compression Readings - Interpreting
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

SERVICE PROCEDURES (Continued)
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.

Following are potential gauge readings. Some should be considered as normal; others should be investigated further.
1.
NORMAL READING: Needle between -51 and
-74 kPa (15 and 20 in-Hg) and holding steady.
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
back up to a higher than normal figure.
NORMAL FOR HIGH LIFT CAM WITH LARGE
3. OVERLAP: Needle will register as low as -50 kPa (15 in-Hg) but will be relatively steady. Some oscillation is normal.
WORN RINGS OR DILUTED OIL: When engine
4. is accelerated (dotted needle), needle drops to 0 kPa (0 in-Hg). Upon deceleration, needle runs slightly above 74 kPa (22 in-Hg).
STICKING VALVE(S): When the needle (dotted)
5.
remains steady at a normal vacuum but occasionally flicks (sharp, fast movement) down and back about 13 kPa (4 in-Hg), one or more valves may be sticking.
BURNED OR WARPED VALVES: A regular,
6. evenly spaced, downscale flicking of the needle
indicates one or more burned or warped valves. lnsuff icient hydraulic lash adjuster clearance will also cause this action.
POOR VALVE SEATING: A small but regular
7.
downscale flicking can mean one or more valves are not seating.
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
10. 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
12.
are gapped too close, a regular, small pulsation of the needle can occur.
13. INTAKE LEAK: A low, steady reading can be caused by an intake manifold or carburetor mounting flange gasket leak.
BLOWN HEAD GASKET A regular drop of
14. approximately 33-50 kPa (1 O-l 5 in-Hg) can be caused by a blown head gasket or warped head­to-block mounting surface.

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.

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

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 sprocket. Therefore, on 2.3L engines, remove the cam followers as outlined in Section 02.

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. on gauge bar.
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.

CAUTION: It is imperative to pull the plug into the
machined bore by using a properly designed tool. Under no circumstances is the plug to be driven into the bore using a tool that contacts the flange.
This method will damage the sealing edge and will
result in leakage and/or plug blowout.
The flanged (trailing) edge must be below the
chamfered edge of the bore to effectively seal the plugged bore.
Expansion-Type
Expansion-type core plugs are installed with the flange edge inward. The maximum diameter of this plug is located at the base of the flange with the flange flaring inward.
CAUTION: It is imperative to push or drive the plug
into the machined bore using a properly designed tool. Under no circumstances is the plug to be
driven using a tool that contacts the crowned
portion of the plug.This method will expand the
plug prior to installation and may damage the plug
and/or plug bore.
When installed, the trailing (maximum) diameter must
be below the chamfered edge of the bore to effectively
seal the plugged bore.
If the core plug replacing tool has a depth seating
surface, do not seat the tool against a non-machined

Al 4474-A
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
1. 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.
Refer to Section 02 for specifications and assembly
