ADJUSTMENTS
VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: Hydraulic valve lash adjusters are used and valve clearances are not
adjustable.

TIMING BELT ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION: Rotate engine only in direction of normal rotation, clockwise (as viewed
from timing belt end of engine). Counterclockwise rotation may cause
timing belt to slip or jump timing.

CAUTION: DO NOT loosen timing belt tensioner more than 1/2 turn, or bolt may fall
inside cover.

Remove timing belt upper cover. Rotate crankshaft clockwise 2 rotations, and align timing marks. Loosen
timing belt tensioner adjusting bolt 1/4-1/2 turn. Allow tensioner spring to apply tension to timing belt. See
Fig. 1 or Fig. 2 . Tighten timing belt tensioner bolt. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.

Rocker Arm Assembly

1. Note location of all components for reassembly reference. Remove breather and PCV hoses from
rocker arm cover. Remove rocker arm cover. Install Lash Adjuster Holders (MD998443) on rocker
arms to secure lash adjusters during removal and installation. Loosen rocker arm shaft retaining bolts
evenly, and in small increments. Remove rocker arm shaft assemblies. Inspect components for
damage and wear.

NOTE: Springs are only on intake rocker arm shaft.

2. To install components, reverse removal procedure. Install components into original locations. Install
rocker arm assembly with notched side of rocker arm shaft toward timing belt. See Fig. 8 or Fig. 9 .
3. Before installing lash adjusters, clean lash adjusters in diesel fuel. Submerge lash adjusters in clean
diesel fuel, and using a small wire, push steel ball plunger down 5-10 times to clean internal
components of lash adjusters. Install lash adjusters trying not to spill diesel fuel from adjusters. Install
lash adjuster holders.
4. Ensure rocker arms are against rocker arm shaft mounting bosses before tightening. Tighten rocker
arm assembly bolts to specification, and in several steps. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
Remove lash adjuster holders.

CYLINDER BLOCK ASSEMBLY

Piston & Rod Assembly

Mark piston and rod assembly with corresponding cylinder number before removal. Install piston and rod
assembly into cylinder block, with mark on top of piston pointing toward timing belt side of engine.

Fitting Pistons

1. Measure piston skirt diameter.08" (2 mm) above bottom of highest point on piston skirt, at a 90-
degree angle to piston pin. If piston diameter is not within specification, replace piston. See
PISTONS, PINS & RINGS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
2. Measure cylinder bore diameter in 3 places:47" (12 mm) from top of bore.47" (12 mm) from bottom
of bore, and near center of bore. If cylinder diameter or taper is not within specification, re-bore
cylinder block. See CYLINDER BLOCK table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
3. If clearance between piston and cylinder bore is not within specification, replace piston and/or
machine cylinder bore. See PISTONS, PINS & RINGS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
4. Two different oversize pistons are available.20" (.50 mm) and.40" (1.0 mm) over. Size mark is

stamped on top of piston.

Piston Rings

1. Using inverted piston, push NEW piston ring to bottom of cylinder bore. Using feeler gauge, measure
piston ring end gap. Repeat for each ring. If end gap is not within specification, replace piston ring.
See PISTONS, PINS & RINGS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
2. Clean piston ring grooves thoroughly. Install piston rings with identification mark on ring facing
toward top of piston. DO NOT use ring expander to install oil ring side rails. Measure piston ring side
clearance between ring and ring land.
3. If ring lands are excessively worn, replace piston. See PISTONS, PINS & RINGS table under
ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Stagger piston ring end gaps properly on piston before installing. See
Fig. 11.
4. If re-boring cylinder block, oversize ring sets are available in.20" (.50 mm) and 40" (1.00 mm) over.
Piston rings are marked numerically and with a color code on top side of ring indicating oversize size,
"50" (Blue) or "100" (Yellow).

1. Using Plastigage, measure rod bearing oil clearance. On 1.5L engines, tighten bearing cap nuts to 12
ft. lbs. (17 N.m), and then an additional 1/4 turn. On 1.8L engines, tighten to 15 ft. lbs. (20 N.m), and
then an additional 1/4 turn.
2. If oil clearance is not within specification, install a NEW bearing set and measure oil clearance again.
If proper oil clearance cannot be obtained by using NEW bearings, replace crankshaft. See
CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS and CONNECTING RODS tables
under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.

NOTE: Before installing connecting rod bearing caps, attempt to run nuts
down studs by hand. Replace stud if nut does not run down smoothly
for entire length.

NOTE: Rod bearing cap nuts use the plastic area tightening method. Replace
nut if plastic area on nut is damaged.

3. On 1.5L engines, when replacing rod bearings, crankshaft and/or connecting rods, select NEW rod
bearings according to color code identification marks on crankshaft and connecting rods. Using the 2
color codes, select bearings using hart provided. See Fig. 12. Rod bearings are marked with
corresponding color codes. See Fig. 13.

Crankshaft & Main Bearings

NOTE: Crankshaft journals are fillet-rolled and cannot be re-ground to undersized

dimensions.

1. On 1.8L engines, mark main bearing cap location before removal. On all engines, measure main
bearing oil clearance using Plastigage. Measure main bearing journal diameters. Measure journal taper
and out-of-round. Measure crankshaft end play. See CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING

2. If oil clearance is not within specification, install a NEW bearing set and measure oil clearance again.
Undersize bearings are available. If proper oil clearance cannot be obtained by using NEW bearings,
replace crankshaft.
3. On 1.5L engines, install main bearing caps in numerical order, according to number stamped on cap.
Install bearing caps so arrow on top of cap points toward timing belt end of engine. On 1.8L engines,
install main bearing caps in their original location, and with arrow on top of cap pointing toward
timing belt end of engine. Tighten main bearing caps to specification in 2 stages, starting at center and
working outward. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
4. On 1.5L engines, when replacing main bearings, crankshaft and/or cylinder block, select NEW main

Thrust Bearing

Replace thrust bearing if crankshaft end play is not within specification. See CRANKSHAFT, MAIN &
CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Thrust bearings are located
on No. 3 main bearing journal. On 1.5L engines, replace main bearings if end play is not within
specification. On 1.8L engines, replace thrust plate if end play is not within specification.

Cylinder Block

1. Measure cylinder block deck surface for warpage. See CYLINDER BLOCK table under ENGINE
SPECIFICATIONS. If warpage exceeds specification, machine surface within limits, or replace
cylinder block. DO NOT remove more than a combined total of.008" (0.20 mm) material from
cylinder block and cylinder head mating surfaces.
2. Measure cylinder bore diameter in 3 places:47" (12 mm) from top of bore.47" (12 mm) from bottom
of bore, and near center of bore. If cylinder bore diameter or taper is not within specification, re-bore
cylinders and install oversize pistons. See CYLINDER BLOCK table under ENGINE
SPECIFICATIONS.
3. When re-boring cylinder block, to prevent distortion caused by increased heat during boring, bore
cylinders in the following order: No. 2, No. 4, No. 1 and No. 3.

NOTE: When re-boring cylinders, finish all 4 cylinders to the same oversize.
DO NOT bore only one cylinder to an oversize dimension.

ENGINE OILING
ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM

Both engines use a crankshaft-driven oil pump located in front cover. The pressure relief valve, also located
in front cover, is not adjustable. See OIL PUMP & FRONT COVER.

Crankcase Capacity

On 1.5L engines, crankcase capacity is 3.5 qts. (3.3L); on 1.8L engines, capacity is 4.0 qts. (3.8L).
Capacities listed include oil filter change.
