DURING THE 1991 MODEL YEAR, THE CYLINDER BLOCK USED FOR THE 4.5L AND 4.9L TRANSVERSE V8 ENGINES RECEIVED A SERIES OF STRUCTURAL ENHANCEMENTS THAT HAVE MADE DIMENSIONAL ADJUSTMENTS IN MAIN BEARING CLEARANCE NECESSARY TO PREVENT MAIN BEARING KNOCK (MALLET NOISE) IN SOME VEHICLES. THESE CRANKCASE CHANGES ARE **NOT** INCORPORATED IN ALL 1991 VEHICLES BUT ARE INCLUDED IN ALL 1992 AND LATER ENGINES. THE IMPROVED CRANKCASE IS ALSO USED TO ASSEMBLE SERVICE ENGINE ASSEMBLIES PRODUCED AFTER SEPTEMBER 1, 1991 (I.E., A SERVICE ENGINE BUILT IN 1992 CALENDAR YEAR FOR USE IN ANY MODEL YEAR INCLUDING PAST MODELS WILL INCLUDE THE STRUCTURALLY UPDATED TRANSVERSE CRANKCASE). REFER TO FIGURES 1 AND 2 TO IDENTIFY THE UPDATED CRANKCASE.

THE PROCEDURE NECESSARY TO ESTABLISH WHICH BEARING (STANDARD OR OVERSIZE) SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE #1 OR #5 POSITION IS CONTAINED IN SERVICE BULLETIN T-84-5C AS WELL AS 1987 AND LATER SERVICE INFORMATION MANUALS. THIS PROCEDURE APPLIES TO ALL 4.1L, 4.5L AND 4.9L V8 ENGINES.
