TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
The 2.5L (153 CID) 4-cylinder engine has the following features
- Dual overhead camshaft
- Four valves per cylinder
- Sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection (SFI)
- Aluminum cylinder head
- Aluminum cylinder block
- Electronic ignition system with 4 coil-on-plug ignition coils
The 2.5L engine is a 4 valve-per-cylinder, dual overhead camshaft engine. The engine uses a coil-on-plug ignition system. The cylinder block is made of aluminum and the bearing caps are integrated into the ladder assembly. An aluminum oil pan bolts to the bottom of the lower cylinder block and to the transmission to provide greater strength. The camshafts are mounted in the cylinder heads and act against valve tappets to open and close the valves. The camshafts are driven off the front of the cylinder head by one timing chain. The chain is driven by a sprocket that is located on the crankshaft. The piston assembly is an aluminum piston with a cast iron connecting rod. The oil pump is driven by the crankshaft via a dedicated chain that is driven by the same sprocket that drives the timing chain.
Engine Identification
Always refer to these labels when installation of new parts is necessary or when checking engine calibrations. The engine parts often differ within a CID family. Verification of the identification codes will make sure the correct parts are obtained. These codes contain all the pertinent information relating to the dates, optional equipment and revisions. The Ford Catalog Advantage™ or equivalent contains a complete listing of the codes and their applications.
Engine Code Information Label
The engine code information label, located on the front side of the valve cover, contains the following

Exhaust Emission Control System
Operation and necessary maintenance of the exhaust emission control devices used on this engine are covered in the INTRODUCTION article.
Induction System
The SFI provides the fuel/air mixture needed for combustion in the cylinders. The 4 solenoid-operated fuel injectors
- are mounted in 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.
- are connected in series with the fuel pressure sensor.
- supply fuel from the fuel tank with a fuel pump mounted in the fuel tank.
A constant fuel pressure is maintained across the fuel injectors by the fuel pressure sensor. The fuel pressure sensor
- is positioned upstream from the fuel injectors on the fuel injection supply manifold.
Lubrication System
The engine lubrication system operates as follows
- Oil is drawn into the oil pump through the oil pump screen cover and tube in the sump of the oil pan.
- Oil is pumped through the oil filter on the left front side of the cylinder block.
- Oil enters the main galley where it is distributed to the crankshaft main journals and to the cylinder head.
- From the main journals, the oil is routed through cross-drilled passages in the crankshaft to lubricate the connecting rod bearings. Controlled leakage through the crankshaft main bearings and connecting rod bearings is slung radially outward to cool and lubricate the cylinder walls, as well as the entire connecting rod, piston and piston ring assembly.
Refer to ENGINE MECHANICAL SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION article for basic mechanical concerns or refer to the INTRODUCTION article for driveability concerns.

- Remove the valve cover. For additional information, refer to «VALVE COVER»(/mercury/mariner/ii-2011-2011/remont/mechanical/#engine-mechanical-25l-hybrid) in this service information.
- Remove the 5 bolts, the pin-type retainer (not shown in illustration) and the RH splash shield. To install, tighten to 9 Nm (80 lb-in).
- Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance of each valve and record its location.
- The acceptable clearances after being fully installed are: intake: 0.22-0.28 mm (0.008-0.011 in). exhaust: 0.27-0.33 mm (0.010-0.013 in). Select tappets using this formula: tappet thickness = measured clearance + the existing tappet thickness - nominal clearance. Select the closest tappet size to the ideal tappet thickness available and mark the installation location.
- If any tappets do not measure within specifications, install new tappets in these locations. For additional information, refer to «VALVE TRAIN COMPONENTS - EXPLODED VIEW»(/mercury/mariner/ii-2011-2011/remont/mechanical/#engine-mechanical-25l-hybrid) and «VALVE TAPPETS»(/mercury/mariner/ii-2011-2011/remont/mechanical/#engine-mechanical-25l-hybrid) in this service information.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Note. Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as instructed in this procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if the pulley bolt is loosened. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the special service tools or severe engine damage can occur.
Note. During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. 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.

Note. Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as instructed in this procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if the pulley bolt is loosened. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage may occur.
Note. During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. 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.
Note. Due to the precision fit and timing of the balancer shaft assembly, it cannot be removed from the engine block.
Note. For additional information, refer to the exploded views under engine Assembly in this service information.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Note. Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as instructed in this procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if the pulley bolt is loosened. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can occur.
Note. 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.
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 ENGINE MECHANICAL SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION article.
