EXHAUST MANIFOLD DESCRIPTION
The exhaust manifolds are log style with a patented flow enhancing design to maximize performance. The exhaust manifolds are made of high silicon molybdenum cast iron. A perforated core graphite exhaust manifold gasket is used to improve sealing to the cylinder head. The exhaust manifolds are covered by a three layer lam- inated heat shield for thermal protection and noise reduction. The heat shields are fastened with a torque prevailing nut that is backed off slightly to allow for the thermal expansion of the exhaust manifold.

VALVE TIMING DESCRIPTION—TIMING DRIVE SYSTEM
The timing drive system (Fig. 114) has been designed to provide quiet performance and reliability to support a non-free wheeling engine. Specifically the intake valves are non-free wheeling and can be easily damaged with forceful engine rotation if cam- shaft-to-crankshaft timing is incorrect. The timing drive system consists of a primary chain and two sec- ondary timing chain drives.
OPERATION - TIMING DRIVE SYSTEM
The primary timing chain is a single inverted tooth type. The primary chain drives the large fifty tooth idler sprocket directly from a 25 tooth crankshaft sprocket. Primary chain motion is controlled by a pivoting leaf spring tensioner arm and a fixed guide. The arm and the guide both use nylon plastic wear faces for low friction and long wear. The primary
chain receives oil splash lubrication from the second- ary chain drive and oil pump leakage. The idler sprocket assembly connects the primary and second- ary chain drives. The idler sprocket assembly con- sists of two integral thirty tooth sprockets and a fifty tooth sprocket that is splined to the assembly. The spline joint is a non – serviceable press fit anti rattle type. The idler sprocket assembly spins on a station- ary idler shaft. The idler shaft is press-fit into the cylinder block. A large washer on the idler shaft bolt and the rear flange of the idler shaft are used to con- trol sprocket thrust movement. Pressurized oil is routed through the center of the idler shaft to pro- vide lubrication for the two bushings used in the idler sprocket assembly.
There are two secondary drive chains, both are inverted tooth type, one to drive the camshaft in each SOHC cylinder head. There are no shaft speed changes in the secondary chain drive system. Each secondary chain drives a thirty tooth cam sprocket

directly from the thirty tooth sprocket on the idler sprocket assembly. A fixed chain guide and a hydrau- lic oil damped tensioner are used to maintain tension in each secondary chain system. The hydraulic ten- sioners for the secondary chain systems are fed pres- surized oil from oil reservoir pockets in the block. Each tensioner also has a mechanical ratchet system that limits chain slack if the tensioner piston bleeds down after engine shut down. The tensioner arms and guides also utilize nylon wear faces for low fric- tion and long wear. The secondary timing chains receive lubrication from a small orifice in the ten- sioners. This orifice is protected from clogging by a fine mesh screen which is located on the back of the hydraulic tensioners.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE—MEASURING TIMING CHAIN WEAR
NOTE: This procedure must be performed with the timing chain cover removed.
(1) Remove the timing chain cover. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT / CHAIN COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
(2) To determine if the secondary timing chains are worn, rotate the engine clockwise until maximum tensioner piston extension is obtained. Measure the distance between the secondary timing chain ten- sioner housing and the step ledge on the piston (Fig. 115). The measurement at point (A) must be less than 15mm (0.5906 inches).
(3) If the measurement exceeds the specification the secondary timing chains are worn and require replacement. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/ TIMING BELT/CHAIN AND SPROCKETS REMOVAL).
NOTE: If the secondary chains are to be replaced the primary chain must also be replaced.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - ENGINE TIMING - VERIFICATION
CAUTION: The 4.7L is a non free-wheeling design engine. Therefore, correct engine timing is critical.
NOTE: Components referred to as left hand or right hand are as viewed from the drivers position inside the vehicle.
NOTE: The blue link plates on the chains and the dots on the camshaft drive sprockets may not line up during the timing verification procedure. The blue link plates are lined up with the sprocket dots only when re-timing the complete timing drive. Once the timing drive is rotated blue link-to-dot alignment is no longer valid.
ENGINE - 4.7L

VALVE TIMING (Continued)DR
Engine base timing can be verified by the following
procedure:
(1) Remove the cylinder head covers (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
(2) Using a mirror, locate the TDC arrow on the front cover (Fig. 116). Rotate the crankshaft until the mark on the crankshaft damper is aligned with the TDC arrow on the front cover. The engine is now at TDC.
(3) Note the location of the V8 mark stamped into the camshaft drive gears (Fig. 117). If the V8 mark on each camshaft drive gear is at the twelve o’clock position, the engine is at TDC (cylinder #1) on the exhaust stroke. If the V8 mark on each gear is at the six o’clock position, the engine is at TDC (cylinder #1) on the compression stroke.
(4) If both of the camshaft drive gears are off in the same or opposite directions, the primary chain or both secondary chains are at fault. Refer to Timing Chain and Sprockets procedure in this section.
(5) If only one of the camshaft drive gears is off and the other is correct, the problem is confined to one secondary chain. Refer to Single camshaft tim- ing, in this procedure.
(6) If both camshaft drive gear V8 marks are at the twelve o’clock or the six o’ clock position the engine base timing is correct. Reinstall the cylinder head covers.

ENGINE - 5.7L (Continued) DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSUREThe results of a cylinder compression pressure test can be utilized to diagnose several engine malfunc- tions.
Ensure the battery is completely charged and the engine starter motor is in good operating condition. Otherwise the indicated compression pressures may not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
(1) Clean the spark plug recesses with compressed
air.
(2) Remove the spark plugs. (3) Secure the throttle in the wide-open position. (4) Disable the fuel system (Refer to 14 - FUEL
SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY - DESCRIPTION).
(5) Remove the ASD relay (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI- CAL/IGNITION CONTROL/AUTO SHUT DOWN RELAY - REMOVAL).
(6) Insert a compression pressure gauge and rotate the engine with the engine starter motor for three revolutions.
(7) Record the compression pressure on the 3rd revolution. Continue the test for the remaining cylin- ders.
(8) (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS) for
the correct engine compression pressures.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER COMBUSTION PRESSURE LEAKAGE
The combustion pressure leakage test provides an
accurate means for determining engine condition. Combustion pressure leakage testing will detect:
DR
†Exhaust and intake valve leaks (improper seat- ing).†Leaks between adjacent cylinders or into water jacket.†Any causes for combustion/compression pressure loss. (1) Check the coolant level and fill as required. DO
NOT install the radiator cap.
(2) Start and operate the engine until it attains normal operating temperature, then turn the engine OFF.
(3) Remove the spark plugs. (4) Remove the oil filler cap. (5) Remove the air cleaner hose. (6) Calibrate the tester according to the manufac- turer’s instructions. The shop air source for testing should maintain 483 kPa (70 psi) minimum, 1,379
kPa (200 psi) maximum and 552 kPa (80 psi) recom- mended.(7) Perform the test procedures on each cylinder according to the tester manufacturer’s instructions. Set piston of cylinder to be tested at TDC compres- sion,While testing, listen for pressurized air escaping through the throttle body, tailpipe and oil filler cap opening. Check for bubbles in the radiator coolant.
All gauge pressure indications should be equal,
with no more than 25% leakage.
FOR EXAMPLE: At 552 kPa (80 psi) input pres- sure, a minimum of 414 kPa (60 psi) should be main- tained in the cylinder.

ENGINE - 5.7L (Continued) STANDARD PROCEDURESTANDARD PROCEDURE - REPAIR DAMAGED OR WORN THREADS
CAUTION: Be sure that the tapped holes maintain the original center line.
Damaged or worn threads can be repaired. Essen- tially, this repair consists of: †Drilling out worn or damaged threads. †Tapping the hole with a special Heli-Coil Tap, or equivalent. †Installing an insert into the tapped hole to bring the hole back to its original thread size.
STANDARD PROCEDURE—HYDROSTATIC LOCK
CAUTION: DO NOT use the starter motor to rotate the crankshaft. Severe damage could occur.
When an engine is suspected of hydrostatic lock (regardless of what caused the problem), follow the steps below.
(1) Perform the Fuel Pressure Release Procedure (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(2) Disconnect the negative cable(s) from the bat-
tery.
(3) Inspect air
induction system, and intake manifold to ensure system is dry and clear of foreign material.
cleaner,
(4) Place a shop towel around the spark plugs to catch any fluid that may possibly be under pressure in the cylinder head. Remove the spark plugs.
(5) With all spark plugs removed, rotate the crank-
shaft using a breaker bar and socket.
(6) Identify the fluid in the cylinders (coolant, fuel,
oil, etc.).
cylinders.
(8) Repair engine or components as necessary to
prevent this problem from occurring again.
(9) Squirt a small amount of engine oil into the cylinders to lubricate the walls. This will prevent damage on restart.
(10) Install new spark plugs. Tighten the spark
plugs to 41 N·m (30 ft. lbs.) torque.
(11) Drain engine oil. Remove and discard the oil
filter.
(12) Install the drain plug. Tighten the plug to 34
