SECTION 303-01B: Engine — 3.0L (4V) 2008 Escape/Mariner/Escape Hybrid/Mariner Hybrid Workshop Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 01/10/2007

Engine

The 3.0L (4V) is a V-6 engine has the following features:

 Dual overhead camshafts


 Four valves per cylinder
 Sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI)
 Composite lower intake manifold and composite upper intake manifold
 Aluminum cylinder heads
 Two-piece design aluminum cylinder block
 Electronic ignition system with 6 ignition coils

Identification

cardiagn.com
For quick identification refer to the safety certification decal.

 The decal is located on the LH front door lock face panel.


 An engine identification label is also attached to the engine.
 The symbol code on the identification tag identifies each engine for determining parts usage; for
instance, engine displacement in liters or cubic inch displacement and model year.

Exhaust Emission Control System

Operation and required 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 6 solenoid-operated fuel
injectors:

 are mounted between the fuel rail and the intake manifold.
 meter fuel into the air intake stream in accordance with engine demand.
 are positioned so that their tips direct fuel just ahead of the engine intake valves.

Valve Train

The camshafts are mounted in the cylinder heads and act against a roller follower to open and close the
valves. A hydraulic lash adjuster is located on one side of the roller follower and the valve tip on the opposite
end. The camshafts are driven off the front of each cylinder head by 2 chains (one each side). Both of the
chains are driven by sprockets that are located on the crankshaft, just in front of the oil pump.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation System

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

Lubrication System
The engine lubrication system is of the force-feed type in which oil is supplied under full pressure to the
crankshaft, connecting rod bearings and timing chain tensioners. The flow of oil to the valve tappets and
valve train is controlled by a restricting orifice located in the head gaskets.

Oil Pump

The lubrication system is designed to provide optimum oil flow to critical components of the engine through
its entire operating range.

The heart of the system is a positive displacement internal gear oil pump.

Generically this design is known as a gerotor pump, which operates as follows:

 The oil pump is mounted on the front face of the cylinder block.
 The inner rotor is piloted on the crankshaft post and is driven through flats on the crankshaft.
 System pressure is limited by an integral, internally-vented relief valve which directs the bypassed oil
back to the inlet side of the oil pump.
 Oil pump displacement has been selected to provide adequate volume to make sure of correct oil
pressure both at hot idle and maximum speed.

cardiagn.com
 The relief valve calibration protects the system from excessive pressure during high viscosity
conditions.
 The relief valve is designed to provide adequate connecting rod bearing lubrication under high-
temperature and high-speed conditions.

Cooling System

The engine cooling system includes the following:

 Radiator
 Dual electric fan assemblies
 Degas bottle (aids in maintaining the correct volume of engine coolant)
 Coolant thermostat
 Coolant hoses

NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. All parts must be thoroughly
cleaned and 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: If the oil pan was removed during engine disassembly, it must be installed after the engine and
transaxle are assembled and the transaxle-to-engine bolts are installed. Failure to follow this assembly
sequence can result in engine oil leaks.

NOTE: Assembly of the engine requires various inspections/measurements of the engine components (engine block,
crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons and piston rings). These inspections/measurements will aid in determining if the
engine components will require replacement. For additional information, refer to Section 303-00 .

All vehicles

1. NOTE: This procedure is for selecting bearings using a new crankshaft.

Select the crankshaft main bearings for each crankshaft journal.


1. Read the code on the crankshaft flange.
2. Read the code on the cylinder block rear face.
 The first 2 numbers after the asterisk make up the code for main No. 1 and the next 2 numbers for
main No. 2.
 The first 2 numbers after the second asterisk make up the code for main No. 3 and the last 2
numbers for main No. 4.

cardiagn.com
2. Using the chart, choose a bearing for each main. Match the block and crankshaft code with its corresponding
column or row, by reading across the "crankshaft" row and down the "block" column.
 For example: If the block code is *0609*0711* and the crankshaft code is *8580*8082*, main No. 1
should use grade 1 bearings, as determined by the intersection of the 06 block column and the 85
crankshaft row. Mains 2, 3 and 4 should all be grade 2.
cardiagn.com
3. NOTE: Before assembling the cylinder block, all sealing surfaces must be free of chips, dirt, paint and foreign
material. Also, make sure the coolant and oil passages are clear.

Lubricate the upper crankshaft main bearings with clean engine oil and install the 4 crankshaft main bearings in
the cylinder block.

4. Lubricate the lower crankshaft main bearings with clean engine oil and install the 4 crankshaft main bearings in
the lower cylinder block.
5. Lubricate the crankshaft thrust bearing with clean engine oil and install in the cylinder block.
