GENERAL INFORMATION

ENGINE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER OR CODE

The engine identification number is located on the

rear of the cylinder block just below the cylinder head
(Fig. 1).

BLOCK: The cylinder block is a light weight design

created by reducing thickness in many parts and a
short 10 mm (3/8 inch) block skirt. High rigidity is
provided with ribs cast in the outer wall, a full length
water jacket, and a monoblock or beam type, main

bearing cap. This single unit four bearing cap is de-
signed to control vibration of the cylinder block parti-
tion walls.

CRANKSHAFT: A six throw, five weight crankshaft

is supported by four main bearings with number three
being the thrust bearing. The six separate connecting
rod throws pins reduce torque fluctuations while a
torsional vibration damper is used to control torsion
caused vibration of the crankshaft. Rubber lipped seals
are used at front and rear. The front seal is retained in
the oil pump case and the rear is retained in a
block-mounted housing.
