Steps 101-148
Engine
Disassembly
NOTE: This procedure assumes that the engine was removed using the recommended body off engine removal procedure. If it was necessary to remove the engine using the alternate body on engine removal procedure, some of the components in this procedure will have already been removed.
NOTE: During the repair or installation of fuel-related components, cap, tape or otherwise appropriately protect all fuel opening to prevent the ingress of dirt or other contamination. Remove caps, tape and other protective materials prior to installation.
NOTE: For EXPORT ONLY vehicles (outside US/Canada) an Export Supplement is provided and should be referenced to identify differences that can impact service procedures. Vehicles can be identified by referring to the underhood Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label which states, "Not certified for US EPA or CARB Regulations".

118. NOTICE: To prevent engine damage, replace damaged or missing dowel pins before installing the engine rear cover.
Remove the 10 bolts and the engine rear cover.
- Remove and discard the engine rear cover gasket.
119. NOTE: Prior to removing any piston and rod assemblies, it is recommended that piston protrusion be evaluated. This will help identify bent or twisted connecting rods.
Install the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture. Check the piston protrusion above the crankcase as follows.
- Zero the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture on the crankcase deck surface.
- Position the Dial Indicator Gauge tip on the piston head at the 3 or 9 o'clock position.
- Rotate the crankshaft to measure the maximum piston protrusion and record.
- Reposition the Dial Indicator Gauge tip onto the piston head at the opposite position.
- Rotate the crankshaft to measure the maximum piston protrusion and record.
- Average the readings. If the average is lower than specification, the piston is lower in the bore than it should be. This indicates a bent or twisted connecting rod.
120. NOTICE: If evident from the top of the cylinder bore, remove the carbon ridge prior to removing the rod and piston assemblies. This reduces the chance of piston ring land damage during removal.
Using a knife or emery board, scrape the carbon ridge from the top of the cylinder bore.
121. Using a Feeler Gauge Set, check the connecting rod side clearance. Compare to Specifications.
122. NOTICE: The connecting rods are powdered metal cracked rods and care should be taken to make sure that the connecting rod caps are oriented correctly with the connecting rods or engine damage may occur.
NOTE: Mark the location of connecting rod cap prior to removal.
NOTE: Only one connecting rod cap shown.
Remove the 2 connecting rod bolts and connecting rod cap.
123. Using a wood or plastic hammer handle, push the connecting rod and piston assembly out of the cylinder bore.
124. Remove and discard the piston rings.
1. Remove the top compression ring.
2. Remove the intermediate ring.
3. Remove the oil control ring.
125. Remove and discard the connecting rod bearings.
126. Using the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding fixture, check the high-pressure fuel injection pump drive gear backlash. For additional information, refer to Specifications.
127. NOTE: The crankshaft gear contains a single timing mark. The camshaft contains a single timing mark. The high-pressure fuel injection pump drive gear contains a double timing mark. The engine is timed correctly when the single mark on the crankshaft drive gear is aligned with the double mark on the camshaft gear, and the single mark on the camshaft drive gear is aligned with the double mark on the high-pressure fuel injection pump drive gear. Additionally, the keyway on the high-pressure fuel injection pump drive gear must be at 12 o'clock position.
