Preparation for installation

All engines

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Carefully smooth out and dry wipe interfaced surfaces of a head and the block of cylinders. Use a firm plastic or wooden scraper for removal of all traces of a material of an old lining and a deposit. Also clear the bottoms of pistons. Be extremely cautious — surfaces easily to damage. Remember that the dirt should not get in маслотоки, water galleries channels and carving apertures — закупорьте their stoppers or stick with an adhesive tape. For prevention of hit of a deposit in backlashes between pistons and cylinders, fill the last of dense greasing which on termination of clearing procedure will be easy for removing a rigid brush. On termination of cleaning wipe all surfaces pure dry rags.
  2. Survey interfaced surfaces of a head and the block on presence of deep scratches, cracks and other damages. Small defects can be eliminated small шабером, in more serious cases the head should be pierced, or to replace.
  3. Make sure of cleanliness and dryness of carving apertures, — just in case blow their compressed air (it is possible to take advantage of the bicycle pump). Presence at deaf apertures of traces of greasing can lead to block destruction at a tightening of bolts as a result of increase of hydraulic pressure.
  4. Bolts of fastening of a head are subject to replacement without fail, without dependence from their current condition.
  5. By means of a steel ruler and щупа лезвийного type check up planeness of an interfaced surface of a head (the General see and engine major repairs).
  1. On the given engines the backlash size between a head and pistons is regulated by thickness of a lining. In the left forward corner of a lining are provided просечки by which quantity it is possible to define its thickness.

    A — Identification of a thickness of a sealing lining of a head of cylinders of the engine of 1.7 l SOHC (one просечка)
    B — Identification of a thickness of a sealing lining of a head of cylinders of the engine of 1.7 l DOHC (one просечка)

  1. The demanded thickness of a lining can be calculated also on size выступания the piston over a block surface (see further).
  1. Result the engine in position ВМТ of the end of a step of compression of the piston of the first cylinder. Establish on the block циферблатный a measuring instrument плунжерного type, press плунжер a measuring instrument to an interfaced surface of the block and null the device. Now move плунжер on a surface of the bottom of the piston of the first cylinder and measure its size выступания (on engines of 1.7 l SOHC — in three points of the bottom of each piston). Further, operating in a similar manner, define size выступания the piston of the fourth cylinder.

  1. Turn a cranked shaft on a half-turn for the purpose of reduction in positions ВМТ of pistons of 3rd and 2nd cylinders and repeat measurements. In summary return the engine in position ВМТ of the piston of the first cylinder.
  2. On engines of 1.7 l SOHC combine all 12 received results (on three on each piston) and divide result on 12; on engines of 1.7 l DOHC and 2.0 l the lining steals up on the maximum size выступания. By means of resulted below the table calculate a necessary thickness of a new lining.
