Engine

NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, may cause engine failure.

NOTE: Assembly of the engine requires various inspections/measurements of the engine components (engine block, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons and piston rings). These inspections/measurements will aid in determining if the engine components will require replacement.

NOTE: Early build engine crankshaft main bearing cap bolt torque is different than late build engines. Although these parts are serviced in the same way, the torque has changed between early build and late build engines. The level of the engine can be determined by inspecting the engine code label. Early build engines are built with the engine code of (1G372 BA) and late build engines are built with engine code (1G372 CA).
