Ford SHO 3.0L/3.2L V6 Engine Specs - Valve, Camshaft, Rod & Bearing Clearances
Engine specification table listing valve, camshaft, crankshaft, connecting rod and bearing clearance dimensions for 3.0L and 3.2L engines.
This is a page of engine mechanical specifications for the Ford 3.0L and 3.2L SHO V6 engines, apparently scanned from a factory service manual or similar reference. The left column lists valve train specifications: valve margin thickness limit, valve face angle (45.5°), valve stem diameters for intake and exhaust, valve spring loads and free length, valve lifter diameter and clearance-to-bore, valve clearances (intake 0.15-0.25mm, exhaust 0.25-0.35mm), and camshaft bore inside diameter. A dedicated 3.0L camshaft section gives lobe lift (intake 8.5mm, exhaust 8.0mm), lobe heights with wear limits, end play service limit, journal-to-bearing clearance, and journal diameter. A 3.2L camshaft section is cut off at the bottom. The right column covers the bottom end: connecting rod journal diameter, out-of-round and taper limits, crankshaft end play, connecting rod and main bearing clearances and wall thicknesses, connecting rod piston-pin bore diameters (separate values for 3.0L and 3.2L), crankshaft bearing bore diameter, rod center-to-center length, rod alignment twist/bend limits, and rod side clearance. A 'PISTON 3.0L' section begins but is cut off. All values are given in both metric and inch units, making this useful for engine rebuilds and machine-shop work on SHO engines.
