- remove timing drive components;
- remove the oil pan, oil filter and oil pump.
Notes on removing the crankshaft
Before removing the main bearing caps, the connecting rods must be disconnected from the crankshaft and the pistons must be pushed out through the top of the cylinder block.
Notes on removing main bearing caps
When removing the main bearing caps, mark their locations. When reassembling, they must be installed in their original locations.
Notes on disassembling the connecting rod and piston group
When disassembling the connecting rod and piston group, mark the locations of the connecting rods and connecting rod bearing caps. When reassembling, they must be installed in their original locations.
Checking the degree of wear of cylinder block elements
Checking the crankshaft
Control parameters:
- main journal diameter: 55 mm;
- crank pin diameter: 43 mm;
- maximum taper of main journal: 0.005 mm;
- maximum taper of the crank journal: 0.005 mm;
- maximum deviation from the circular shape of the main journal: 0.004 mm;
- maximum deviation from the round shape of the crank pin: 0.004 mm;
- main bearing clearance: 0.026-0.042 mm;
- connecting rod bearing clearance: 0.019-0.070 mm;
- crankshaft end runout: 0.1 mm;
- connecting rod side clearance: 0.070-0.242 mm.
Checking the piston pins
Control parameters:
- finger diameter: 18 mm;
- finger offset: 0.5-0.7 mm.
Checking piston rings
Control parameters:
- gap in the joint of the upper compression ring: 0.15-0.3 mm;
- gap in the joint of the 2nd compression ring: 0.3-0.5 mm;
- axial clearance in the groove of the upper compression ring: 0.05-0.09 mm;
- axial clearance in the groove of the 2nd compression ring: 0.05-0.09 mm.
Checking the pistons
Control parameters:
- piston diameter: 78.97 mm
- clearance between piston and cylinder wall: 0.03 mm.
Checking the cylinders
Control parameters:
- cylinder diameter: 79.0 mm
- maximum deviation from roundness: 0.0065 mm;
- maximum taper: 0.07 mm.
Assembly
Assembly is carried out in the reverse order of disassembly.
Tightening torques
| Element of the system | Tightening torque |
| Main bearing cap mounting screw | 50 Nm + 45° |
| Connecting rod bearing cap fastening screw | 25Nm + 30° + 15° |
| Oil pump mounting screw | 10 Nm |
| Oil pump inlet pipe mounting screw | 10 Nm |
| Oil pan mounting screw | 10 Nm |
| Rear timing belt cover mounting screw | 10 Nm |
Notes on installing piston rings
When installing, distribute the piston ring gaps as shown in the figure.
1. Joint of the radial expander of the composite oil scraper ring.
2. Second compression ring gap.
3. Joint of the axial expander of the composite oil scraper ring.
4. Clearances of the first compression ring and the rings of the composite oil scraper ring.
