 (see the figure).   

 

Explanations on the camshaft mounting   

Notice 

 

Since the camshaft’s mounting clearance is 

small, make sure that the camshaft journal is 
closely attached to the bearing seat during the 
mounting process, or the contact surface 
between the shaft and bearing will incur 
excessive pressure and in turn suffer damage. 
To avoid foresaid situation, regulations below 
shall be observed:   

1.  Smear some oil onto the camshaft journal and 

bearing seat.   

2.  Mount the camshaft into camshaft bearing 

seat, making camshaft journal closely 
attached to the bearing seat.   

3.  Mount the camshaft bearing cover onto 

corresponding journal according to the 
sequence.  

4.  Tighten the bolts according to the sequence 

illustrated in the figure: first, tighten every 
camshaft cover bolt, and then tighten the front 
camshaft bearing cover bolt.   

 

Explanations on the VVT mounting   

1.  Rotate the camshaft to make the dowel pin 

keep upward.   

2.  Smear some oil onto the VVT assembly’s 

inserting part, align the VVT assembly 
location hole to the camshaft dowel pin, and 
mount the VVT assembly slowly.   

3.  Lock the camshaft’s hexagon part with a 

wrench (see the figure), so as to tighten 
VVT’s fixing bolts.

of all cylinders at Mark A indicated in the 
figure.  

 

  Note:If the valve clearance exceeds the 

standard value, replace the tappet(see the 
valve clearance’s adjustment)valve 
clearance’s standard value (when engine is in 
cooling state): 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Engine block 1A-31 

 

Intake:0.18~0.26mm 
Exhaust:0.26~0.34mm 

(3)  Rotate the crankshaft for 360 degrees along 

the clockwise direction, making the piston 
located at the stopping place on No.4

thickness =old tappet’s thickness + measured 
valve clearance - standard valve clearance. 
(standard valve clearance: ON, 0.22mm; OFF, 
0.30mm) 

4.  Mount the selected tappet into the tappet hole.   

5.  Confirm the valve clearance again (see valve 

clearance, valve clearance inspection).   

 

Notice: 

  If the valve clearance will be adjusted when 

there is not timing chain, make the crankshaft 
dowel pin towards side face, in order to 
prevent the valve from colliding with the 
piston top during the valve clearance 
adjustment process.   

  Mark the tappet thickness inside the tapper 

with 3 digits, see figure below:

cylinder’s inner diameter at the place 60mm 
away from upper surface along the X and Y 
direction (see the figure).     

 

5.  If the cylinder’s inner diameter goes beyond 

the abrasion limit, replace the cylinder body, 
and install the corresponding piston, in order

3.  Use the plug gauge to measure the clearance 

between piston ring and ring slot along the 
entire perimeter (see the figure). If necessary, 
replace the piston and piston ring.   

 

Standard clearance 

Ring 1:

Ring 2:   

0.030~0.070mm

 

Oil ring: 

 0.020~0.060mm 

Maximum clearance   

Ring 1, Ring2:    0.15mm 

Oil ring:  0.15mm.  

4.  Put the piston ring into cylinder with hands, 

and use the piston to push the piston ring to 
the bottom of the cylinder bore stroke.   

 

5.  Use the plug gauge to measure every piston 

ring’s opening clearance. If necessary, replace 
the piston ring.   

Standard opening clearance: 

Ring 1: 

 0.20~0.35mm

 

Ring 2:   

0.40~0.60mm

 

Oil Ring:   

0.20~0.40mm

 

Maximum opening clearance:1.0mm 

6. Respectively at A, B, C, and D point along X 
and Y direction, measure every piston pin hole’s 
diameter.  

Standard diameter:

17.996~18.000mm

 

 

7. Respectively at A, B, C, and D point along X 
and Y direction, measure every piston pin’s 
diameter 

Standard diameter:

18.004~18.010mm

 

 

8. Calculate out the clearance between piston pin 
and piston pin hole. If necessary, replace the piston 
or piston pin.   

Standard clearance:

0.004~0.014mm 

9.  Measure the connecting rod’s small head 

diameter (see connecting rod inspection), and 
calculate the clearance between connecting 
rod’s small head and piston pin. If necessary, 
replace the connecting rod or piston pin. 
Standard clearance:

-0.010~-0.027mm.

 

1.12.4 Connecting Rod Inspection   

1.  Use the plug gauge to measure the connecting 

rod’s end gap. If necessary, replace the 
connecting rod and connecting rod cover.

2.  Measure the crank pin journal clearance 

according to steps below.   

(1). Remove all oil on the journal and bearing 

seat’s internal surface. 

(2). Make the plastic gauge match the bearing 

width and then put it on the top of journal, 
keeping parallel with the axial line.   

(3).  Mount the connecting rod cover (see piston 

and connecting rod mounting part).   

(4). Dismantle the connecting rod cover’s bolt, 

and slowly take off the connecting rod cover.   

(5). Use the plastic gauge scale to measure the 

widest point on the plastic gauge’s extruded 
part, and then calculate out the journal 
clearance. If the clearance exceeds the 
maximum value, replace the crankshaft and 
corresponding connecting rod bearing to 
ensure the standard clearance.

1.12.5 Inspection of Piston Connecting 
Rod Assembly   

Inspect the swaying torque (see the figure). If the 
big head fails to drop down by virtue of its own 
weight, replace the piston or piston pin.   

 

1.12.6 Crankshaft Inspection /Repair   

1.  Mount the dial gauge, use the screwdriver to 

push the crankshaft frontward and backward, 
and measure the crankshaft end gap (see the 
figure). If the end gap surpasses the maximum 
value, replace the thrust bearing or crankshaft 
to fit the standard end gap.
