2001 Explorer/Mountaineer Workshop Manual Procedure revision date: 09/18/2002

Engine

The cylinder block is made of special high-grade cast iron, with thin-wall construction. The crankshaft (6303) has five crankshaft main bearings (6333) and is precision-cast iron. Piston, pin and rings (6102) are aluminum alloy, tin plated. Valve rocker arms (6564) are individually bolt-mounted. The valve tappets (6500) are hydraulic-roller design. These engines are also equipped with aluminum intake manifold systems. Engine Identification

Part Number

Description Initial ignition timing Engine code Engine build date Emission calibration label Engine plant code Shipping information

The engine code information label, located on the RH valve cover (6582), contains the engine build date, engine plant code, and engine code. The emission calibration number label is located on the LH door or LH door post pillar. It identifies the engine calibration number, engine code number, and revision level. It is critical that the engine codes and the calibration number be used when ordering parts or making inquiries about the engine. Engine Lubrication System

Description pump screen cover and tube pan bypass filter pump galley

The engine lubrication system is the force-feed type in which oil is supplied to these components: crankshaft connecting rod (6200) valve tappets camshaft bearings (6261)

From the valve tappets, a controlled volume of oil is supplied to the rocker arms through hollow push rods (6565). All other moving parts are lubricated by gravity flow or splash. The lubrication system consists of a full-pressure, cast-iron pump driven by the oil pump intermediate shaft from the camshaft synchronizer (12A362). The oil pressure is controlled by a relief valve. The oil pan (6675) acts as a reservoir, holding the oil that is pumped through the engine by the oil pump (6600) after start-up. External Components
