GM 4.3 LITRE V6 AND 5.

7 LITRE V8 ENGINES
This section has the description and the repair instruc-
tions for the GM 4.3 litre V6 and the 5.7 Litre V8 en-
gines. Checks and Adjustments, Troubleshooting pro-
cedures and Specifications are also included in this sec-
tion.
DESCRIPTION
The arrangement of the cylinders is in a V shape. The
cylinder block is made of cast iron. The V8 engine has
five main bearings for the crankshaft. The V6 engine
has four main bearings.
5. Remove the capscrews that hold the cylinder head to
the block. Loosen the capscrews in the reverse order of
the tightening sequence shown in FIGURE 5. Remove
the cylinder head and the gasket.
6. Remove the nuts and balls for the rocker arms. Re-
move the rocker arms. Keep the parts for each rocker
arm assembly together.
7. Use a valve spring compressor and remove the valves
and springs. Put the valves in a rack so that they can be
installed in their original positions.

The cylinder head is cast iron and has an intake valve

and an exhaust valve for each cylinder. The valve mech-
anism is actuated by push rods and rocker arms from the
camshaft.

The camshaft has five bearings on the V8 and four

bearings on the V6. The camshaft is driven by a chain
from the crankshaft. Hydraulic cam followers are used
to actuate the push rods.

The pistons are made of cast aluminum and have two

compression rings and one oil control ring.

CYLINDER BLOCK, CLEANING AND
INSPECTION
After the engine is disassembled, clean the cylinder
block in solvent. Make sure all of the oil passages are
clean. Remove the gaskets from the surface of the block.
Inspect the bores for the pistons for wear or damage.
Measure the bores and check the dimensions shown in
Specifications. Repair the cylinder block as necessary.
NOTE: It is important that the piston bores are prepared
correctly before new piston rings are installed. Incorrect
preparation can cause the parts to wear quickly.

PISTON BORE PREPARATION
Use a hone in the piston bores when installing new rings.
Use the hone as follows:
1. Use a hone with a 280 grit stone. Make sure the stone
is clean and will not damage the bore.
2. Move the hone quickly (approximately 60 times per
minute) up and down in the bore. Make sure the hone
makes a cross pattern of 45 to 60 degrees. Use the hone
until the entire length of the bore has this pattern.
3. After using the hone, clean the cylinder block with hot
water and detergent. Make sure all metal particles are re-
moved from the block. Dry the bores and lubricate them
with engine oil.

FIGURE 18. CRANKSHAFT INSPECTION
4. If the crankshaft journals must be repaired, they can
be ground to the following diameters smaller (under-
size) than the original size:
0.25 mm (0.010 in)
0.50 mm (0.020 in)
NOTES ABOUT MAIN BEARINGS: Main bearings
are an insert bearing that does not use shims for adjust-
ment. Main bearings are available in a standard size and
the following undersizes: 0.001 in, 0.002 in, 0.009 in,
0.010 in, and 0.020 in. If a bearing on a journal is worn,
both the upper and lower half of the bearing must be re-
placed.
When the crankshaft is assembled by the manufacturer,
the main bearings are specially selected to obtain close
tolerances. For this reason, you can find onehalf of a
standard size insert with onehalf of a 0.001 in under-
size insert. This combination will decrease the clearance
0.0005 in from using a full standard bearing.
When a production crankshaft can not be fitted with this
method, the main journal is then ground 0.009 in under-
size. Only those main bearing journals that can not be
fitted with standard, 0.001 in or 0.002 in undersize main
bearing will be ground. A 0.009 in and a 0.010 in under-
size bearings will be selected as described to obtain
close tolerances.
A production crankshaft that has been ground will have
the following identification:
The crankshaft journal that has been ground will
have a 9 marked in the metal of the crankshaft
next to the journal. A spot of light green paint is
also added to the crankshaft.
The main bearing cap is also marked with green
paint.
How To Check The Clearance Between The
Main Bearings And Their Journals
1. Use PlastigageR or equivalent to check the clearance.
The procedure is similar for both connecting rod bear-
ings and main bearings. If the engine has been removed
from the lift truck put the engine so that the crankshaft is
up. The weight of the crankshaft is against the upper
bearing half and the total clearance can be measured cor-
rectly. If the engine is still in the lift truck, the crankshaft
must have a support to remove any additional clearance
between the upper bearing half and its journal.
2. All main bearing caps must be installed and their
capscrews tightened to the specifications.
3. Check the rear main bearing first. Remove the cap for
the rear main bearing. The procedure for checking the
clearance of the other bearings is similar.
4. Clean the oil from the bearing half and journal to be
checked. Put a piece of Plastigage across the full width
of the bearing journal as shown in FIGURE 21. Do not
rotate the crankshaft when the Plastigage is between the
main bearing and its journal.
9
5. Install the main bearing cap and tighten the
capscrews. (See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS FOR
CAPSCREWS AND BOLTS.) The capscrews must be
tightened to their final torque or there will be an error in
the measurement.
6. Remove the main bearing cap. The Plastigage will be
compressed and wider and will adhere to either the bear-
ing or its journal. Use the scale on the envelope for the
Plastigage to measure the width of the plastic at its wid-
est point. The scale will indicate the clearance in milli-
metres or thousandths of an inch. See FIGURE 22.
7. If the clearance is greater than the specifications, se-
lect a new undersize bearing set and install it. Measure
the clearance again. If the clearance can not meet speci-
fications with the available undersize bearings, the bear-
ing journal must be ground to a new undersize. If the
bearing journal is already at the maximum undersize,
the crankshaft must be replaced.
8. If the clearance is within specifications, lubricate the
bearing with engine oil and install the main bearing and
bearing cap. Tighten the capscrews on the main bearing
cap to the correct specifications.
9. Turn the crankshaft to make sure it rotates smoothly.
1. MEASURE CLEARANCE
FIGURE 19. MEASURE THE AXIAL
CLEARANCE OF THE CRANKSHAFT
10
10. Check the axial clearance between the rear main
bearing and the thrust surface. Push the crankshaft for-
ward. See FIGURE 19. Measure the clearance between
the crankshaft and the thrust surface of the rear bearing.
The correct clearance is 0.05 to 0.15 mm (0.002 to 0.006
inch).
Installation
1. On engines with a twopiece rear seal, install the seal
halves so that the lips are towards the fan end of the en-
gine. Apply engine oil to the seal during installation. Do
not get any oil on the ends of the seal.
NOTE: With the use of special tools, the main bearings
and the rear crankshaft seal (twopiece) can be replaced
without removing the crankshaft.
2. Install the main bearings in the cylinder block and the
bearing caps. Lubricate the bearings with engine oil and
carefully install the crankshaft in the cylinder block.
3. Install the bearing caps. Make sure the arrows on the
bearing caps are towards the front (fan end) of the en-
gine. Push the crankshaft forward and measure the
clearance at the front side of the rear main bearing. The
correct clearance is 0.050.15 mm (0.0020.006 in).
(See FIGURE 19.)
4. On the V6 engine, tighten the capscrews for the bear-
ing caps to 70 N.m (52 lbf ft). On the V8 engines, tight-
en the capscrews for all of the bearing caps except the
rear bearing cap to 95 N.m (70 lbf ft). Tighten the cap-
screws for the rear bearing cap to 14 N.m (10 lbf ft).
Move the crankshaft forward and backward to align the
rear main bearing. Tighten the capscrews for all bearing
caps to 95 N.m (70 lbf ft).
5. Install the connecting rods, oil pump and oil pan.
Install the flywheel and other parts.

5. If the bearing journal is within specifications, mea-
sure the clearance between the new bearing and the
crankshaft. Use Plastigage or equivalent to check the
clearance:
a. Put a piece of Plastigage across the full width of
the bearing journal as shown in FIGURE 21. Do
not rotate the crankshaft when the Plastigage is

d. If the clearance is within specifications, lubricate
the bearing with engine oil and install the bearing
and bearing cap. Tighten the nuts on the bearing
cap. (See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS FOR
CAPSCREWS AND BOLTS.)
6. When all of the rod bearings have been replaced, use
the following procedure to check the side clearances be-
tween the connecting rods and the crankshaft:
5. Put an identification mark on the top of each piston.
6. Remove the caps and bearings from each connecting
rod. Keep the caps and bearings with their original pis-
ton assemblies. Mark the caps so that they will be in-
stalled again in their original positions. Do not mix the
parts.
7. Push the connecting rod and piston from the cylinder.
Temporarily install the bearing cap on the connecting
rod to keep the parts together.
Disassembly

a. Use a hammer to lightly hit the connecting rod CAUTION

parallel to the crankshaft journal to make sure
there is a clearance.
b. Measure the clearance between the caps for the
connecting rods and the crankshaft. See
FIGURE 23.
The pistons are aluminum alloy and can be damaged
if they are hit with a hard object. The grooves for the
piston rings are machined to close tolerances. Use a
tool made to clean the grooves of the piston rings. Do
not use a wire brush to clean a piston.

Piston, Cleaning And Inspection

Inspect the pistons for wear, cracks, and damage. Re-
place a piston that is worn or damaged.

NOTE: If the cylinder bore must be repaired the piston

must be changed to the correct oversize. Check the
clearance of the piston in its cylinder after the surface of
the cylinder bore has been finished with a hone.

Check the clearance of the piston pin in the piston. The

normal clearance is shown in the ENGINE SPECIFI- FIGURE 26. PATTERN FOR NORMAL
CATIONS. The piston pin will normally fall from the CYLINDER WEAR
hole in the piston by its own weight. The piston pin is a
press fit in the connecting rod. The piston and piston pin
are a matched set and must be replaced as a unit if the
clearances are greater than the specifications.

Cylinder Bores, Inspection And Repair

Inspect the cylinder bores for wear and damage. Mea-
sure the cylinder bores in several positions as shown in
FIGURE 25. Measure the cylinder bore at right angles
to the centerline to find any distortion from wear. A cyl-
inder that is outofround greater than 0.05 mm (0.002

for a cylinder bore is shown in FIGURE 26. A cylinder
that has a taper [measurement A that is 0.127 mm
(0.005 in) greater than measurement B] must have a
new bore. A tool called a hone can be used to remove a
small amount of taper from a cylinder bore. Use a boring
machine to repair a badly worn cylinder. The boring ma-
A cylinder bore that has been repaired with a hone or a
boring machine must be fitted with a piston that is the
correct size. Measure the outer diameter of the piston

graphs.

Each compression ring has a mark on one surface. This

mark must be toward the top of the cylinder when the
piston ring is installed. The No. 1 compression ring nor-
mally has a chrome or molybdenum surface.

The oil control ring has three pieces. There are two thin
steel rings separated by a spacer. A593
