Question 1

How to Safely Extract a Crankshaft from an Engine on Chrysler 300?

Accepted Answer

Before you remove the crankshaft, drain your engine oil and remove the oil filter. After that, take the engine from the vehicle and setup it on an engine stand. After that, take out the oil pan and oil pick-up tube, the idler pulley bracket for the accessory drive belt, the upper intake manifold, the cylinder head covers and the timing chain cover. Following this, take out the primary timing chain, crankshaft sprocket, oil pump, crankshaft rear oil seal retainer and windage tray. Spin the crankshaft so the connecting rod cap you want to remove lies under one of the bearing caps and remember to mark the bearing caps you remove, because each set is unique and cannot be exchanged. Use a permanent ink marker or scribe tool to mark and make sure to carefully remove the bearing caps of the connecting rods so you don't damage the crankshaft bearings. Be careful not to harm the surfaces of the fractured rod and cap while you work. Then, take out the main bearing cap bolts, as well as the tie bolts and remove the main bearing caps after them. Then, carefully lift out the crankshaft (7) from the cylinder block (6), making sure not to harm the crankshaft's bearing surfaces.

Question 2

How to Install a Crankshaft on Chrysler 300?

Accepted Answer

Before you begin, confirm that the crankshaft's bearing halves fit the same way and check that main bearings are installed by selection. First, place the main bearing into the block and main cap, making certain that the tangs fit into the slots. Use engine oil to lubricate the two bearing halves for the upper main bearing and put in the crankshaft carefully so you won't scratch or mark them. Make certain the washer with the coating is placed against the crankshaft thrust area and then roll the front thrust washer onto the shelf formed by the upper No. 3 main bulk head and crankshaft. Treat the rear thrust washer the same as the front one by installing it after you move the crankshaft and lubricate. With some engine oil, lubricate the main bearings underneath and, before installing the main bearing caps, lubricate each cap bolt. Tighten the bolts on the inner main bearing cap to 20 Nm and turn them 1/4 more. Following this, measure the crankshaft end play. Install the connecting rods and measure the distance between them and the engine walls and then set in the windage tray with the slots on the right side and lubricate the bolts as you fasten them to 27 Nm plus a 1/4 turn. Add the main cap tie bolts and tighten them to 28 Nm. After that, install the rear crankshaft oil seal retainer and then the oil seal assembly and then mount the oil pump assembly. Place the oil pick-up tube and O-ring onto the engine, locking them with bolts tightened to 28 Nm. After that, place the oil pan gasket, oil pan and oil filter and proceed with the crankshaft sprocket, timing chain, timing chain cover and cylinder head covers. Attach the oil dipstick tube and engine assembly and next, fill the crankcase with the correct oil to the right level and with coolant. Turn on the engine and make sure there are no leaks.
