2010 Ranger Workshop Manual

SECTION 303-01A: Engine - 2.3L 2010 Ranger Workshop Manual


DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 09/01/2009

Engine

The 2.3L (140 CID) 4-cylinder engine has the following features:

• Dual overhead camshaft


• Four valves per cylinder
• Sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection (SFI)
• Aluminum cylinder head
• Aluminum cylinder block
• Electronic ignition system with 2 coil packs

The 2.3L engine is a 4 valve-per-cylinder, dual overhead camshaft engine. The engine uses a distributorless
ignition system. The cylinder block is made of aluminum and the bearing caps are integrated into the ladder
assembly. An aluminum oil pan bolts to the bottom of the lower cylinder block and to the transmission to
provide greater strength. The camshafts are mounted in the cylinder heads and act against valve tappets to
open and close the valves. The camshafts are driven off the front of the cylinder head by one timing chain.

cardiagn.com
The chain is driven by a sprocket that is located on the crankshaft. The piston assembly is an aluminum piston
with a cast iron connecting rod. The oil pump is driven by the crankshaft via a dedicated chain that is driven
by the same sprocket that drives the timing chain.

Identification

Always refer to these labels when installation of new parts is necessary or when checking engine calibrations.
The engine parts often differ within a CID family. Verification of the identification codes will make sure that
the correct parts are obtained. These codes contain all the pertinent information relating to the dates, optional
equipment and revisions.

Engine Code Information Label

The engine code information label, located on the front side of the valve cover, contains the following:

Item Description
1 Engine part number
2 Dearborn Engine and Fuel Tank Plant
3 Catch code (indicates transmission type and emission level)
4 Engine build date (DDMMYY)
5 Engine displacement
6 Plant code
7 Block finish date (DDMMYY)
8 Block finish time (HHMMSS)

Engine 838
2010 Ranger Workshop Manual
Exhaust Emission Control System

Operation and necessary maintenance of the exhaust emission control devices used on this engine are covered
in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.

Induction System

The SFI provides the fuel/air mixture needed for combustion in the cylinders. The 4 solenoid-operated fuel
injectors:

• are mounted in the cylinder head.


• meter fuel to the air intake stream in accordance with engine demand.
• are positioned so their tips direct fuel just ahead of the engine intake valves.

PCV System

All engines are equipped with a closed-type PCV system recycling the crankcase vapors to the intake
manifold.

Lubrication System

cardiagn.com
The engine lubrication system operates as follows:

• Oil is drawn into the oil pump through the oil pump screen cover and tube in the sump of the oil pan.
• Oil is pumped through the oil filter on the left front side of the cylinder block.
• Oil enters the main gallery where it is distributed to the crankshaft main journals and to the cylinder
head.
• From the main journals, the oil is routed through cross-drilled passages in the crankshaft to lubricate
the connecting rod bearings. Controlled leakage through the crankshaft main bearings and connecting
rod bearings is slung radially outward to cool and lubricate the cylinder walls as well as the entire
connecting rod, piston and piston ring assembly.

GENERAL PROCEDURES Procedure revision date: 09/01/2009

Valve Clearance Check

Special Tool(s)

Feeler Gauge Set


303-D027 (D81L-4201-A) or equivalent

1. Remove the valve cover. For additional information, refer to Valve Cover in this section.

2. NOTICE: Turn the engine clockwise only and use the crankshaft bolt only or the engine may be
damaged.

NOTE: Measure the clearance of each valve at base circle with the lobe pointed away from the

cardiagn.com
tappet, before removing the camshafts. Failure to measure all clearances prior to removing the
camshafts will necessitate repeated removal and installation and wasted labor time.

Using the Feeler Gauge Set, measure the clearance of each valve and record the location.

3. NOTE: The number on the valve tappet only reflects the digits that follow the decimal. For example,
a tappet with the number 0.650 has the thickness of 3.650 mm.

NOTE: The nominal desired mid-range clearance is:

• Intake: 0.25 mm (0.0095 in)


• Exhaust: 0.30 mm (0.0115 in)
Select tappets using this formula: tappet thickness = measured clearance + the base tappet thickness -
most desirable thickness.

NOTE: The acceptable clearances after being fully installed are:

• Intake: 0.22-0.28 mm (0.008-0.011 in)


• Exhaust: 0.27-0.33 mm (0.010-0.013 in)
Select the closest tappet size available and mark the installation location.

4. If any tappets do not measure within specifications, install new tappets in those locations. For
additional information, refer to Valve Tappets in this section.

Removal

NOTICE: Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as
instructed in this procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to
the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction,
using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket
is also unfastened if the pulley bolt is loosened. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the
crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the special tools,
otherwise severe engine damage can occur.

NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material,
including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant
passages or the oil pan can cause engine failure.

NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material,

cardiagn.com
including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant
passages or the oil pan may cause engine failure.

NOTE: Valve tappets are select fit and the valve clearance must be checked before removing the tappets. For
additional information, refer to Valve Clearance Check in this section. If the valve clearance has already been
checked, proceed with removal.

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Section
100-02 .

2. Remove the camshafts. For additional information, refer to Camshafts in this section.

3. NOTICE: If the camshafts and valve tappets are to be reused, mark the location of the valve
tappets to make sure they are assembled in their original positions, or the engine may be
damaged.

NOTE: The number on the valve tappets only reflects the digits that follow the decimal. For example,
a tappet with the number 0.650 has the thickness of 3.650 mm.

Remove and inspect the valve tappets. For additional information, refer to Section 303-00 .

Removal

NOTICE: Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as
instructed in the crankshaft pulley procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing
sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are
fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that
reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if the pulley bolt is loosened. Before any repair
requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be
locked in place by the special tools, otherwise severe engine damage may occur.

1. Remove the timing chain and sprockets. For additional information, refer to Timing Drive
Components in this section.

2. Remove the Camshaft Alignment Plate.

3. NOTICE: Failure to follow the camshaft loosening procedure may result in damage to the
camshafts.

NOTE: Mark the location and orientation of each camshaft bearing cap.

NOTE: Note the position of the lobes on the No. 1 cylinder before removing the camshafts for
assembly reference.

Remove the camshafts from the engine.

Camshafts 884
2010 Ranger Workshop Manual
• Loosen the 20 camshaft bearing cap bolts, in sequence, one turn at a time.
• Repeat the first step until all tension is released from the camshaft bearing caps.
• Remove the 10 camshaft bearing caps.
• Remove the 2 camshafts.

Installation

1. NOTICE: Install the camshafts with the alignment slots in the camshafts lined up so the
Camshaft Alignment Plate can be installed without rotating the camshafts. Make sure the lobes
on the No. 1 cylinder are in the same position as noted in the removal procedure. Rotating the
camshafts when the timing chain is removed, or installing the camshafts 180 degrees out of
position, may cause severe damage to the valves and pistons.

cardiagn.com
NOTE: Lubricate the camshaft journals and bearing caps with clean engine oil prior to installation.

Position the camshafts and bearing caps in their original location and orientation. Loosely install the
20 bolts and tighten the bearing caps in the sequence shown in 3 stages:

• Stage 1: Tighten the camshaft bearing cap bolts one turn at a time until snug.
• Stage 2: Tighten the bolts to 7 Nm (62 lb-in).
• Stage 3: Tighten the bolts to 16 Nm (142 lb-in).
