Removal

Engines of 1.7 l SOHC

Application at removal of a camshaft from the engine of special adaptation KM-890 of 1.7 l SOHC allows гарантированно not to disturb a lining of a head of cylinders. At absence near at hand adaptations it is necessary to remove a head of cylinders (Removal and installation of a head of cylinders see).


 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Remove the storage battery.
  2. Remove a camshaft cogwheel (Removal and installation натяжителя a belt and cogwheels of drive ГРМ (engines 1.7 see. For the purpose of prevention of an input of pistons in contact to valves turn a cranked shaft on 90 ° counter-clockwise.
  3. Release collars and remove an air line connecting турбокомпрессор with intercooler. Also remove a sleeve, going from intercoolerа to the inlet pipeline.

Both sleeves are fixed also in intermediate clamps (see the Head of the Power supply system and release).

  1. Disconnect from the vacuum pump (4) tube of the servo-driver of the brake amplifier and a vacuum tube (2—3).
  1. Turn out fixing bolts and remove the pump together with an arm of an air line of system of a turbo-supercharging.
  1. Turn out two screws with heads under прутковый a key (Allen) and remove a persistent plate of a camshaft.
  1. At presence near at hand adaptations KM-890, take advantage of it. The Adaptation consists of a set of plates with adjustable legs. Plates are drawn to the case газораспределительного the mechanism, wringing out the legs levers of a drive of valves then the camshaft can be taken freely from the case приводного the mechanism. If possibility of application of the adaptation is absent, it is necessary to remove the case газораспределительного the mechanism. As case bolts simultaneously крепят as well a head of cylinders, it is necessary to remove as well it (Removal and installation of a head of cylinders see).

Bolts and lining are not subject to a reuse and at assemblage should be replaced new without dependence from their condition.

  1. Having removed a camshaft, prepare 8 transparent polyethylene bags or small plastic glasses and mark them according to numbering of valves. Remove levers of a drive of the valves, figured washers fixing them and hydraulic racks of jacks. Spread out the removed components on bags / to glasses according to the put marks.

Engines of 1.7 l DOHC

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Uncover газораспределительного the mechanism (Removal and cover installation газораспределительного the mechanism see).
  2. Remove fuel atomizers (see the Head of the Power supply system and release).
  3. Remove a camshaft cogwheel (Removal and installation натяжителя a belt and cogwheels of drive ГРМ (engines 1.7 see).
  4. Turn out fixing nuts and uncover 5th support of camshafts with left (from outside transmissions) the parties.
  1. The gear wheel of a drive of a final camshaft is equipped by the additional gear section serving for indemnification axial люфта. The compensatory section should be blocked with the basic gear wheel of a shaft by means of a suitable bolt or a core. Pass a bolt / a core in an aperture on an inside of the basic gear wheel and push it through compensatory section. Such blocking will allow to unload a compensatory spring at removal of any of camshafts.
  1. Moving on a spiral from edges to the middle, gradually, on one turn for the approach, ослабьте nuts of fastening of covers of the remained support to remove stress from springs of valves gradually and in regular intervals. After all клапанные springs will appear are unloaded, nuts it will be possible to turn on by hand.

Отворачивание nuts in any order it is fraught with destruction of covers of basic bearings of a camshaft, thus it is necessary to change all head of cylinders as it is cast and processed together with covers of support, and covers in an individual order on the market are not delivered.

  1. Remove covers of support, — try to remember adjusting position of components.

Serial numbers are put on covers of support (with 1 on 5). Marks in the form of an arrow at installation of covers should specify towards belt ГРМ.

  1. Remove camshafts from a head of cylinders.
  1. Prepare 16 small transparent polyethylene packages or pure plastic glasses and mark them according to numbering of valves. Take from a head pushers with washers and spread out them on corresponding glasses.

Engines of 2.0 l

At installation the new bolt of fastening of an asterisk of a camshaft and new bolts of fastening успокоителя is required to the top chain.


 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Disconnect a negative wire from the battery and uncover газораспределительного the mechanism (Removal and cover installation газораспределительного the mechanism see).
  2. Remove the vacuum pump of the servo-driver of the brake amplifier (the Brake system see the Head).

  4. For the purpose of maintenance of an easy approach to a cover of asterisk Fuel pump remove the case of an air cleaner and a reception pipe of system of release of the fulfilled gases (see the Head of the Power supply system and release). Also remove a belt of a drive of auxiliary units (Routine maintenance see the Head). Mark position of the right support of a suspension bracket of the power unit in relation to an arm of a head of cylinders. Turn out three bolts of fastening of a support to an arm of a head of cylinders and three bolts of fastening to its mudguard. Prop up the right party of the engine тележечным a jack, having lifted it as it is possible above, without loading thus excessively other support and lines of communication (hoses, cables, electroconducting plaits).
  5. Remove натяжитель the top chain (Removal and installation натяжителей chains of drive ГРМ (engines 2.0 see).
  6. Turn out the bottom bolt of fastening of a rack of a tension roller of a belt of a drive of auxiliary units, give a bolt of an axis of the basis натяжителя and remove assemblage of the last from the engine.

It is not necessary to remove without special need a rack from assemblage натяжителя, - at installation it should be ground in.

  1. Turn out fixing bolts and uncover asterisks Fuel pump a cover of drive ГРМ.
  2. Mark position on the asterisks of the top chain. Also mark position to a camshaft asterisk on a pin of the last.
  1. Turn out fixing bolts and take from a head of cylinders успокоитель the top chain.

Before отдаванием their bolts it is necessary to warm up a thermal pistol (the powerful hair dryer) for the purpose of a softening of the hermetic put on a carving.

  1. Keeping a camshaft рожковым a key, turn out a bolt of fastening of an asterisk, — before отдаванием a bolt take the adaptation fixing a camshaft, — do not forget to establish the adaptation into place after the bolt will be turned out.
  1. Liberate an asterisk of a camshaft from a chain and remove it from the engine.
  1. Fix a chain a screw-driver for the purpose of prevention of its falling in a head, — lay a screw-driver on an interfaced surface of a head.
  1. Pay attention to marks of covers of support of a camshaft. Covers are numbered as it should be with 1 on 5, and the cover №1 — settles down from outside chains of drive ГРМ. If marks are badly distinguishable, put new independently to avoid mess at assemblage.
  1. Moving on a spiral from edges to the middle, gradually, on one turn for the approach, ослабьте bolts of fastening of covers, — after all клапанные springs will appear are unloaded, bolts can be turned out manually. Combine the removed bolts together with the covers, — try not to lose directing plugs established in 5th support. Take a camshaft from a head of cylinders.

Отворачивание nuts in any order it is fraught with destruction of covers of basic bearings of a camshaft, thus it is necessary to change all head of cylinders as it is cast and processed together with covers of support, and covers in an individual order on the market are not delivered.

  1. Prepare eight transparent polyethylene bags or small plastic glasses and mark them according to numbering of valves. Remove levers of a drive of valves and spread out them on bags / to glasses according to the put marks.
  1. In case of need removals of hydropushers, dismantle transitive tubes of atomizers (see the Head of the Power supply system and release). Extraction of pushers is better to make by means of a magnetised core or rubber capture. The removed components spread out on bags / to glasses according to marks.
