(a) Circular spray pattern generally indicates
seal leakage or crankshaft damage.
(b) Where leakage tends to run straight down, possible causes are a porous block, camshaft bore cup plugs, oil galley pipe plugs, oil filter runoff, and main bearing cap to cylinder block mating sur- faces. See Engine, for proper repair procedures of these items. (4) If no leaks are detected, pressurized the crank- case as outlined in the section, Inspection (Engine oil Leaks in general)
CAUTION: Do not exceed 20.6 kPa (3 psi).
(5) If the leak is not detected, very slowly turn the crankshaft and watch for leakage. If a leak is detected between the crankshaft and seal while slowly turning the crankshaft, it is possible the crankshaft seal surface is damaged. The seal area on the crankshaft could have minor nicks or scratches that can be polished out with emery cloth.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when crankshaft polishing is necessary to remove minor nicks or scratches. The crankshaft seal flange is specially machined to complement the function of the rear oil seal.
(6) For bubbles that remain steady with shaft rotation, no further inspection can be done until dis- assembled. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING), under the Oil Leak row, for components inspections on possible causes and corrections.
(7) After the oil leak root cause and appropriate corrective action have been identified, (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE OIL SEAL - REAR - REMOVAL).

REMOVAL
NOTE: This procedure can be performed in vehicle.
(1) If being preformed in vehicle, remove the
transmission.
(2) Remove the flexplate (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
ENGINE BLOCK/FLEX PLATE - REMOVAL).
NOTE: The crankshaft oil seal CAN NOT be reused after removal.
NOTE: The crankshaft rear oil seal remover Special Tool 8506 must be installed deeply into the seal. Continue to tighten the removal tool into the seal until the tool can not be turned farther. Failure to install tool correctly the first time will cause tool to pull free of seal without removing seal from engine.
(3) Using Special Tool 8506, remove the crankshaft
rear oil seal.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: The rear seal must be installed dry for proper operation. Do not lubricate the seal lip or outer edge.
(1) Position the plastic seal guide onto the crank- shaft rear face. Then position the crankshaft rear oil seal onto the guide.

.0001 in.) INCREMENTS is required. If a bore gauge is not available, do not use an inside micrometer.
(2) Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder bore at a point 38.0 mm (1.5 inches) below top of bore. Start perpendicular (across or at 90 degrees) to the axis of the crankshaft at point A and then take an additional bore reading 90 degrees to that at point B (Fig. 11).
(3) The coated pistons will be serviced with the
piston pin and connecting rod pre-assembled.
(4) The coating material is applied to the piston after the final piston machining process. Measuring the outside diameter of a coated piston will not pro- vide accurate results (Fig. 10). Therefore measuring the inside diameter of the cylinder bore with a dial Bore Gauge is MANDATORY. To correctly select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge capable of reading in 0.003 mm (.0001 in.) increments is required.
(5) Piston installation into
cylinder bore requires slightly more pressure than that required for non-coated pistons. The bonded coating on the piston will give the appearance of a line-to-line fit with the cylinder bore.

PISTON & CONNECTING ROD DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Do not use a metal stamp to mark con- necting rods as damage may result, instead use ink or a scratch awl.
The pistons are made of a high strength aluminum alloy. Piston skirts are coated with a solid lubricant (Molykote) to reduce friction and provide scuff resis- tance. The piston top ring groove and land is anod- ized. The connecting rods are made of forged powdered metal, with a “fractured cap†design. A pressed fit piston pin is used to attach the piston and connecting rod.
STANDARD PROCEDURE—PISTON FITTING

(3) If necessary, remove top ridge of cylinder bores with a reliable ridge reamer before removing pistons from cylinder block. Be sure to keep tops of pis- tons covered during this operation. Pistons and connecting rods must be removed from top of cylinder block. When removing piston and connecting rod assemblies from the engine, rotate crankshaft so the each connecting rod is centered in cylinder bore.
CAUTION: DO NOT use a number stamp or a punch to mark connecting rods or caps, as damage to connecting rods could occur
NOTE: Connecting rods and bearing caps are not interchangeable and should be marked before removing to ensure correct reassembly.
(4) Mark connecting rod and bearing cap positions using a permanent ink marker or scribe tool (Fig. 12).
CAUTION: Care must be taken not to damage the fractured rod and cap joint face surfaces, as engine damage may occur.
(6) Immediately after piston and connecting rod removal, install bearing cap on the mating connect- ing rod to prevent damage to the fractured cap and rod surfaces.
(7) Carefully remove piston rings from piston(s),
starting from the top ring down.
CLEANING
CAUTION: DO NOT use a wire wheel or other abra- sive cleaning devise to clean the pistons or con- necting rods. The pistons have a Moly coating, this coating must not be damaged.
(1) Using a suitable cleaning solvent clean the pis-
tons in warm water and towel dry.
(2) Use a wood or plastic scraper to clean the ring
land grooves.
CAUTION: DO NOT remove the piston pin from the piston and connecting rod assembly.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHECKING ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
(1) Remove oil pressure sending unit and install
gauge assembly C-3292.
(2) Run engine until thermostat opens. (3) Oil Pressure: †Curb Idle–25 kPa (4 psi) minimum †3000 rpm–170 - 758 kPa (25 - 110 psi) (4) If oil pressure is 0 at idle, shut off engine. Check for a clogged oil pick-up screen or a pressure relief valve stuck open.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ENGINE OIL LEAK inspection of the engine, particularly at the area of the suspected leak.
Begin with a thorough visual
Fig.25EngineOilLubricationSystem
DR LUBRICATION (Continued)
ENGINE - 5.7L
9 - 215
If an oil leak source is not readily identifiable, the following steps should be followed:
(1) Do not clean or degrease the engine at this time because some solvents may cause rubber to swell, temporarily stopping the leak.
(2) Add an oil soluble dye (use as recommended by manufacturer). Start the engine and let idle for approximately 15 minutes. Check the oil dipstick to make sure the dye is thoroughly mixed as indicated with a bright yellow color under a black light.
(3) Using a black light, inspect the entire engine for fluorescent dye, particularly at the suspected area of oil leak. If the oil leak is found and identified, repair per service manual instructions.
(4) If dye is not observed, drive the vehicle at var- ious speeds for approximately 24 km (15 miles), and repeat inspection. If the oil leak source is not pos- itively identified at this time, proceed with the air leak detection test method.
Air Leak Detection Test Method
(1) Remove the PCV valve from the IAFM. Cap or
plug the PCV valve grommet.
(2) Attach an air hose with pressure gauge and
regulator to the dipstick tube.
CAUTION: Do not subject the engine assembly to more than 20.6 kPa (3 PSI) of test pressure.
(3) Gradually apply air pressure from 1 psi to 2.5
psi maximum while applying soapy water at the sus- pected source. Adjust the regulator to the suitable test pressure that provide the best bubbles which will pinpoint the leak source. If the oil leak is detected and identified, repair per service manual procedures.(4) If the leakage occurs at the rear oil seal area, refer to the section, Inspection for Rear Seal Area Leak.
(5) If no leaks are detected, turn off the air supply and remove the air hose and all plugs and caps. Install the PCV valve.
(6) Clean the oil off the suspect oil leak area using a suitable solvent. Drive the vehicle at various speeds approximately 24 km (15 miles). Inspect the engine for signs of an oil leak by using a black light.
INSPECTION FOR REAR SEAL AREA LEAKS
Since it is sometimes difficult to determine the source of an oil leak in the rear seal area of the engine, a more involved inspection is necessary. The following steps should be followed to help pinpoint the source of the leak.
If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil seal
area:
(1) Disconnect the battery. (2) Raise the vehicle.
(3) Remove torque converter or clutch housing cover and inspect rear of block for evidence of oil. Use a black light to check for the oil leak:
(a) Circular spray pattern generally indicates
seal leakage or crankshaft damage.
(b) Where leakage tends to run straight down, possible causes are a porous block, distributor seal, camshaft bore cup plugs oil galley pipe plugs, oil filter runoff, and main bearing cap to cylinder block mating surfaces. (4) If no leaks are detected, pressurize the crank- case as outlined in the, Inspection (Engine oil Leaks in general)
CAUTION: Do not exceed 20.6 kPa (3 psi).
(5) If the leak is not detected, very slowly turn the If a leak is crankshaft and watch for leakage. detected between the crankshaft and seal while slowly turning the crankshaft, it is possible the crankshaft seal surface is damaged. The seal area on the crankshaft could have minor nicks or scratches that can be polished out with emery cloth.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when crankshaft polishing is necessary to remove minor nicks and scratches. The crankshaft seal flange is especially machined to complement the function of the rear oil seal.
(6) For bubbles that remain steady with shaft rotation, no further inspection can be done until dis- assembled.

OIL (Continued) ENGINE OIL SPECIFICATIONCAUTION: Do not use non-detergent or straight mineral oil when adding or changing crankcase lubricant. Engine failure can result.
API SERVICE GRADE CERTIFIED
Use an engine oil that is API Service Grade Certi- fied. MOPARt provides engine oils that conform to this service grade.
SAE VISCOSITY
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the vis- cosity of engine oil. Use only engine oils with multi- ple viscosities such as 5W-30 in the 5.7L engines. These are specified with a dual SAE viscosity grade which indicates the cold-to-hot temperature viscosity range. Select an engine oil that is best suited to your particular temperature range and variation.
ENERGY CONSERVING OIL
An Energy Conserving type oil is recommended for gasoline engines. The designation of ENERGY CON- SERVING is located on the label of an engine oil con- tainer.
CONTAINER IDENTIFICATION
Standard engine oil identification notations have been adopted to aid in the proper selection of engine oil. The identifying notations are located on the label of engine oil plastic bottles and the top of engine oil cans (Fig. 26).

OIL LEVEL INDICATOR (DIPSTICK)
The engine oil level indicator is located at the left
hand of the engine on the 5.7L engines.
CRANKCASE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
CAUTION: Do not overfill crankcase with engine oil, pressure loss or oil foaming can result.
Inspect engine oil level approximately every 800
kilometers (500 miles). Unless the engine has exhib- ited loss of oil pressure, run the engine for about tenDR
minutes before checking oil level. Checking engine oil level on a cold engine is not accurate.
To ensure proper lubrication of an engine, the engine oil must be maintained at an acceptable level. The acceptable levels are indicated between the ADD and SAFE marks on the engine oil dipstick.
(1) Position vehicle on level surface. (2) With engine OFF, allow approximately five minutes for oil to settle to bottom of crankcase, remove engine oil dipstick. (3) Wipe dipstick clean. (4) Install dipstick and verify it is seated in the
