or broken.
5. Install new camshaft bearings
(Fig. 66). The notch on No. 1 bear-
ing must face toward the front of the
engine with the notch downward
toward the bottom of the cylinder
block. The No.
1
bearing must be
at least 0.005 to 0.020 inch below
the front face edge of the cylinder
block bearing bore (Fig. 67). Bear-
ings numbered 2, 3, 4 and

be installed with the split in the
bearing facing upward toward the
top of the cylinder block.
6. Coat the edges of a new cam-
shaft bearing bore plug with an oil-
resistant sealer. Install the plug with
the cup-side facing inward. Drive
the plug in with a block of wood
until it is flush or slightly below the
surface of the cylinder block.
7. Install the camshaft, crankshaft,
flywheel and related parts. Install the
engine in the car.
ENGINE DISASSEMBLY
1. Install the engine on an engine
repair stand. Use the special steel
bolts provided with the engine
stand adapter when mounting the
engine on the repair stand.
2. Make certain that all oil and
coolant has been drained from the
engine.
3. Remove the spark plug wires
from the rocker arm covers and
spark plugs. Remove the distribuior
cap and spark plug wires as a unit.
Disconnect the fuel line at the car-
buretor and the fuel filter. Discon-
nect the vacuum lines from the dis-
tributor and carburetor . .
4. Remove the fuel pump from
PART 8-2-430 V-8 ENGINE
the cylinder front cover. Remove the
access plug from the cylinder front
cover, and remove the fuel pump
push rod.
5. Remove the wires from the coil.
Remove the overflow hose from the
supply tank. Remove the mounting
bolts securing the coolant supply
tank and brace to the intake mani-
fold and water pump. Remove the
supply tank, coil, thermostat and
gasket from the engine.
6.
On a car with an air condi-
tioner, remove the bolts securing
the compressor mounting bracket to
the cyJinder block. Remove the com-
pressor and bracket assembly.
7.
Loosen the clamp securing the
bypass hose to the intake manifold.
Remove the water pump mounting
bolts. Remove the water pump as-
sembly and the oil dipstick tube
bracket.
8. Remove the bolt securing the
crankcase oil filler tube bracket to
the intake manifold. Remove the oil
filler tube and ventilation cap assem-
bly from the cylinder block. Remove
the oil level dipstick.
9.
Remove the exhaust manifolds
and steel gaskets from the cylinder
heads.
10. Remove the clamp securing
the ventilation tube to the mounting
bracket at the left rear of the intake
manifold. Remove the screw secur-
ing the ventilation regulator valve
fitting to the intake manifold. Dis-
connect the rubber hoses from the
carburetor spacer and the adapter
plate located on the valve push rod
chamber cover. Remove the ventila-
tion tube, hoses, regulator valve and
fitting from the engine as a unit.
11. Remove the distributor retain-
ing clamp and nut. Pull the distribu-
tor gently from the cylinder block.
Notice the distance the rotor turns
as the distributor is removed. This
will be helpful when the distribu-
tor is installed, for the mating of
the helical gears will turn the dis-
tributor shaft.
12. Remove the intake manifold
mounting bolt clamps, ventilation
bracket and retaining nut. Remove
the intake manifold, carburetor and
related parts as a unit. Remove the
mounting gaskets from the cylinder
head.
13. Remove the valve rocker arm
covers and gaskets from the cylinder
heads.
14. Clean the valve push rod
chamber cover. Remove the valve
push rod chamber cover and gasket.
15. Remove the spark plugs from
the cylinder heads with a spark plug
deep socket wrench. Due to the in-
stallation angles of the spark plugs,
care must be used to prevent
breakage.
16. Loosen the four rocker arm
support bolts on each cylinder bank,
evenly and alternately, two turns
at a time until valve spring tension
is removed. Remove the rocker arm
assemblies from the cylinder heads.
17. Remove the valve push rods
from the cylinder heads. Retain the
push rods in their order of re-
moval for inspection and replace-
ment purposes.
18. Remove the cylinder head
mounting bolts. Secure the cylinder
head holding fixtures to the cylinder
head with intake manifold mount-
ing bolts (Fig. 19). All cylinder
head work operations can be per-
formed with the fixtures in place.
19. Lift the cylinder heads off the
cylinder block locating dowels and
the cylinder block. Remove the
gaskets. Never pry between the
cylinder heads and cylinder block.
This may cause damage to the
finished surfaces.
20. Remove the hydraulic valve
lifters. Index the lifters so that they
can be installed in their original
bores if inspection reveals a satis-
factory condition.
21. Index the flywheel and back-
up plate to the crankshaft flange for
installation purposes. Remove the fly-
wheel and plate from the crankshaft.
22. Remove the crankshaft damp-
er mounting bolt and washer from
the crankshaft. Remove the crank-
shaft damper (Fig. 28). Remove the
Woodruff key.
23. Remove the power steering
pump and reservoir.
24. Remove the cylinder block
front cover, timing pointer, oil level
dipstick tube and the cover mount-
ing gasket. Remove the oil slinger.
25.
Remove the wear plate, fuel
pump eccentric, drive bushing and
lock plate from the camshaft. Re-
move the camshaft sprocket and tim-
ing chain as a unit.
26.
Remove the crankshaft sprock-
et (Fig. 33). Remove the Woodruff
key.
27. Turn the cylinder block to a
vertical position, front end facing
upward.
28. Remove the engine oil filter,
adapter and gasket. Remove the oil
pan and gasket.
29. Remove the oil pump and in-
