GENERAL 
The V8 petrol engine is a 4.4 litre, 8 cylinder, 90 degrees Enclosed V unit, with 4 valves per cylinder, operated by 
two overhead camshafts. The engine emissions comply with ECD3 (European Commission Directive) and US 
Federal Tier2 Bin 8 legislative requirements and employs catalytic converters, electronic engine management control, 
positive crankcase ventilation and exhaust gas re-circulation to limit the emission of pollutants. The cooling system is 
a low...

Cylinder Block 
The cylinder block is an Enclosed V design, which provides an inherently rigid structure with good vibration levels. A 
low volume coolant jacket improves warm-up times and piston noise levels; the longitudinal flow design of the jacket, 
with a single cylinder head coolant transfer port in each bank, improves rigidity and head gasket sealing. The right 
hand cylinder bank is designated as bankA (cylinders 1 to 4), and the left hand as bank B (cylinders 5 to 8).

Engine Data Locations 
 
 
 
Engine data is marked at three locations, two on the cylinder block (shown) and one on the engine front cover, which 
consists a label displaying the engine number. Component diameters are represented by alphabetical and numerical 
codes; keys to the codes are in the Service Repair Procedures (SRP) Manual. 
 
Connecting Rods and Pistons 
 
 
The connecting rods are manufactured from sinte
r-forged steel and have fracture-split bearing caps. The bearing

caps are produced by fracturing the opposing sides of the connecting rod at the bearing horizontal centre line. As well 
as being easier to manufacture, when reassembled the fractured surfaces interlock to form a strong seamless joint. 
The cylinder position is marked on adjoining sides of the joint to identify matching connecting rods and bearing caps. 
The connecting rod bearings are aluminium/tin split plain bearings. 
 
The pistons are of the open-ended skirt design. Three piston rings, two...

 
 
 
The CKP sensor is installed at the rear of the sump. It is a variable reluctance sensor that provides an input of engine 
crankshaft speed and position. For additional information, refer to   Electronic Engine Controls (303-14B Electronic 
Engine Controls - 4.4L)

The knock sensors are installed in the cylinder block on the inboard side of each cylinder bank. They are piezo-
electric sensors that provide inputs to detect and locate detonation during combustion. For additional information, 
refer to   Electronic Engine Controls (303-14B Electronic Engine Controls - 4.4L)

The engine starter motor is installed at the rear right side of the engine, at the cylinder block to bedplate split line. For 
additional information, refer to   Starting System (303-06B Starting System - 4.4L) 
 
 
Coolant Drain Plug/Heater 
 
 
A coolant drain plug is installed on the rear left side of the cylinder block. On vehicles with the cold climate package, 
the cylinder block heater replaces the drain plug. 
 
On vehicles destined for Canada, the coolant heater is installed during engine...

 
 
 
The coolant pump is installed between the two cylinder banks, on the front face of the cylinder block.
