Disassembly - Engine (Con't)





31. CAUTION: Unless otherwise instructed, at no time when the timing chains are removed and the cylinder heads are installed is the crankshaft or camshaft to be rotated. Severe piston and valve damage will occur.

Position the crankshaft with the keyway at the 12 o'clock position.





32. Install and fully tighten the special tools (2) on the camshafts.





33. Remove the timing chain tensioning system from both timing chains.
1 Remove the bolts.
2 Remove the tithing chain tensioners.
3 Remove the timing chain tensioner arms.





34. CAUTION: Unless otherwise instructed, at no time when the timing chains are removed and the cylinder heads are installed is the crankshaft or camshaft to be rotated. Severe piston and valve damage will occur.

Remove the LH and RH timing chains and the crankshaft sprocket.
^ Remove the Crankshaft Holding Tool.
^ Remove the RH timing chain from the camshaft sprocket.
^ Remove the RH timing chain from the crankshaft sprocket.
^ Remove the LH timing chain from the camshaft sprocket.
^ Remove the LH timing chain and crankshaft sprocket.





35. Remove both timing chain guides.
^ Remove the bolts.
^ Remove both timing chain guides.





36. Remove the RH exhaust manifold.
1 Remove the nuts.
2 Remove the RH exhaust manifold.
3 Remove the RH exhaust manifold gasket.





37. Remove the LH exhaust manifold.
1 Remove the nuts.
2 Remove the LH exhaust manifold.
3 Remove the LH exhaust manifold gasket.
38. Clean and inspect the exhaust manifold gaskets.





39. Remove the bolt and the oil level indicator tube.





40. Install the special tools on both ends of the cylinder head.





41. CAUTION: New cylinder head bolts must be installed with new bolts. They are tighten-to-yield designed and cannot be reused.

CAUTION: Place cylinder head on a cardboard or wood surface to prevent damage to the joint face.

CAUTION: Aluminum surfaces are soft and can be scratched easily. Never place the cylinder head gasket surface, unprotected, on a bench surface.

Remove the bolts and discard.
^ RH is shown; LH is similar.
^ Remove the cylinder head.
42. Discard the head gasket and clean the engine block surface.





43. If required, remove the bolts, and remove the LH engine mount.





44. If required, remove the bolts, and remove the RH engine mount.





45. If required, remove the nuts and bolt retaining the oil filter adapter and oil filter adapter gasket to the cylinder block.





46. Clean the oil filter adapter gasket surface at the cylinder block.





47. Remove the oil pump.
1 Remove the bolts.
2 Remove the oil pump.





48. Before removing the pistons, inspect the top of the cylinder bores. If necessary, remove the ridge or carbon deposits from each cylinder using a cylinder ridge reamer, following the manufacturer's instructions.





49. CAUTION: Verify that the connecting rods and rod caps have orientation numbers cast into them. If not, number the connecting rods and rod caps for correct orientation.

Remove the bolts and the connecting rod cap. Discard the bolts.





50. CAUTION: Do not scratch the cylinder walls or crankshaft journals with the connecting rod.

Use the special tool to push the piston through the top of the cylinder block.





51. On Romeo (4.6L) engines, remove the crankshaft bearing cap fasteners.
^ Remove and discard the cross-mounted main cap bolts.
2 Loosen the jack screws.
3 Remove and discard the main cap bolts.





52. On Windsor (5.4L) engines, remove the fasteners.
1 Remove and discard the cross-mounted main cap bolts.
2 Remove the dowels.
3 Remove and discard the main bearing cap bolts.





53. Remove the five main bearing caps and the lower crankshaft main bearings.





54. Remove the crankshaft and the upper crankshaft main bearings from the cylinder block.
