The camshaft timing sprocketis mounted to the front of the camshaft and is driven by the crankshaft sprocket through the camshaft timing chain.The camshaft position (CMP) sensor lobes are incorporated into the front face of the camshaft sprocket, with the CMPsensor mounted to the engine front cover. A timing chain dampener is mounted to the front of the engine block abovethe crankshaft sprocket. The externally splined crankshaft sprocket is positioned to the crankshaft by a key and keyway.The crankshaft sprocket external splines drive the oil pump drive gears. A retaining plate mounted to the front of theengine block maintains camshaft location.CrankshaftThe precision-balanced crankshaft is forged steel and is supported by 5 crankshaft bearings. The bearings are retained byforged steel crankshaft bearing caps, which are machined with the engine block for proper alignment and clearance. Thecrankshaft journals are undercut and rolled. The center main journal is the thrust journal. A crankshaft position (CKP)reluctor ring is press-fit mounted at the rear of the crankshaft. The reluctor ring is not serviceable separately.Cylinder HeadsThe cylinder heads are cast aluminum and include pressed-in-place powdered metal valve guides, 56 mm (2.20 in)diameter titanium intake valves, 41 mm (1.61 in) diameter sodium filled stem exhaust valves, and 70 cubic centimetercombustion chambers. Passages for the engine coolant air bleed system are at the front of each cylinder head. The valverocker arm covers are retained to the cylinder heads by 4 center mounted rocker arm cover bolts.Engine BlockThe engine block is a cam-in-block deep skirt 90 degree V configuration with 5 forged steel crankshaft bearing caps. Theengine block is cast aluminum with press-in-place iron cylinder liners. The 5 crankshaft bearing caps each have 4 verticalM10 and 2 horizontal M8 mounting bolts. The engine block and bearing caps are aligned by dowel pins retained in thecaps. The camshaft is supported by 5 press-in-place camshaft bearings.252 of 272
