3400 info (56k'ers beware)

[Joes95gagt]

Does anyone have an exploded view of the 3400? Kinda like the background.

[RidgeRunner]

I have lots of views of the 3400... I don't think any one diagram has all parts of the engine though, tell me what in particular are you looking for, and I'll scan it.

[Joes95gagt]

I really need the bottom end and timing side, but all the main diagrams would be sweet.

little help

[RidgeRunner]

Oh, sorry, I've been super busy. Let me get those scanned...

[Joes95gagt]

Right on, Thanks again.

[RidgeRunner]

Here ya go.

[Joes95gagt]

Those are perfect. What book did those come from?

[RidgeRunner]

An assembly manual for the 1997 LA1 3400.

[Joes95gagt]

where's a good place to pick up one of those for a 99.

[RidgeRunner]

Watch ebay.

Jon, does that book of yours mention anything about why they went to the structured oil pan and side bolts? I know they talked about it for noise control but I want to know if they mentioned anything about extra strength. Would be cool if you had a shot of the bottom of the engine with the windage tray.

There's no explanations of anything in this book, it's basically a reference manual for assembling the engines... nothing more. It's a bit cryptic in the torque specs tho, it doesn't show it in understandable terms. It'll say something like "D50 +/- 10Nm". What the heck is D50? I assume it's a torque spec anyway, since it says +/- 10Nm.

I'll probably bring the book to 60v6 for you guys to look at if ya want.

So....the front bearing is bolted on? The 2.8 in my 89 is one piece but I also have two blocks with a bolt on front and solid rear. WTF?
