Fit the centre main bearing shells without an oilway into the bearing recesses. Fit into other cylinder bores the bearing shells with an oilway, while into the relevant main bearing caps - the bearing shells without an oilway. Lower the crankshaft into position, then stick two thrust washers into the rear bearing recesses (Fig.2-12).

WARNING. The washers must be fitted so that their oilways face away from the bearings in the block and cap (antifriction coat is applied on the washer surface). At the rear of the rear main bearing there fitted a sintered thrust washer (yellow), while at the front - a steel-aluminium thrust washer.

Locate the main bearing caps according to the marks on their outer surface (Fig.2-13). Tighten the cap securing bolts.

Check the crankshaft endfloat. To do this, turn the cylinder block to have the rear side up and position the dial gauge foot against the crankshaft flange (Refer to Fig.2-14). Moving the crankshaft up and down (using screwdrivers, for instance), check the crankshaft endfloat to be within 0.06-0.26 ÏÏ. If not, adjust accordingly and replace the old thrust washers with new ones or fit thicker thrust washers.

Locate the rear oil seal housing gasket on the crankshaft flange, insert the front clutch housing cover bolts into the respective bores (Fig.2-15). Place the oil seal housing on tool

41.7853.4011 and slide it to on the crankshaft flange; next secure it to the cylinder block with the bolts.

Locate front clutch housing cover 6 (Fig.2-10) over two centering pins (Fig. 2-16). Secure the cover to the rear oil seal housing with nuts.

Fig.2-14. Checking the crankshaft endfloat

Locate the flywheel in position so that the marking (a cut-out) near the rim is against the No 4 cylinder crankpin axis. While holding the flywheel stationary with tool Ä.60330/R, bolt it to the crankshaft flange to the specified torque.

Using a ring compressor (tool 67.8125.9502), fit the pistons and connecting rods to the cylinders (Fig.2-17).

WARNING. The hole for gudgeon pin in the piston is 1.2 mm set off, so the arrows on the piston crown must face the timing belt end of the engine when inserting the pistons into the cylinders.

Press the big-end bearing shells into the connecting rods and caps. Guide the conrods and big-end caps onto the crankshaft journal, then tighten the connecting rod bolts. The big-end caps must be positioned so that the cylinder number on the cap is against the cylinder number on the connecting rod big-end.

Refit the crankshaft sprocket. Locate the oil pump shaft and secure it with the thrust flange.

Insert two centering pins into the cylinder block (Fig.2-17) and locate the cylinder head gasket over them.

WARNING. Always fit the new cylinder head gasket. Never re-use the old gasket.

Before refitting the gasket, remove any oil from the mating surfaces of the block and cylinder head. Make sure the gasket is perfectly clean and dry. Avoid any incidental oiling of the gasket.

Turn the crankshaft so that the pistons are midway in the cylinder bore.

Refit the cylinder head complete with the valves, exhaust manifold and intake pipe over the centering pins.

Tighten the cylinder head bolts in the established procedure (Fig.2-18) in four steps to ensure a reliable fit and exclude further tightening during vehicle servicing.

Engine run-in after overhaul

After overhaul the engine is bench tested (run-in) at no loads

under the following cycle:

750-800 rpm 2 minutes

1000 rpm 3 minutes

1500 rpm 4 minutes

2000 rpm 5 minutes

Locate the engine on the test bench, start the engine and

make checks with respect to the following items:

- evidence of coolant or fuel leaks through mating compo-

nents, pipe connections or gaskets;

- oil pressure and oil leaks through gaskets;

- ignition timing;

- idle speed;

- carburettor / intake pipe tightness;

- abnormal knock. In case of any malfunctions or unknown rattle, stop the

engine, eliminate the faults, then continue the tests.

In case of oil leaks through the gasket between the valve cover and cylinder head or through the gaskets between the oil sump, cylinder block and covers, tighten the securing bolts to the torque specified. If oil leaks persist, check the correct fitting of the gaskets and renew when applicable.

Since the overhauled engine is not fully bed-in and frictions between the working surfaces of renewed parts show significant resistance to the rotation, a certain run-in period is required.

This especially concerns those engines, where the pistons, main / big-end bearing shells have been renewed, or the crankshaft journals have been reground, or the cylinders - honed.

Therefore during run-in after the engine overhaul, never allow the engine to run at maximum loads. When in the vehicle, always run-in the engine at the speeds which are recommended for the run-in periods.

In-vehicle engine inspection after overhaul

Locate the engine in the vehicle, thoroughly check its correct mounting.

Run the engine for a while, then check for:

- coolant or fuel leaks through pipe connections, tighten when

necessary;

- full throttle opening and closing by the carburettor cable,

adjust accordingly, if necessary;

- alternator drivebelt tension, adjust, when applicable;

- reliable wiring connections and operation of the warning

lamps in the instrument cluster.

WARNING. Never check the engine or vehicle on the

roller stand without additional rollers for the front wheels.

Cylinder block

General description

The cylinder block basic sizes are shown in Fig.2-25.

The cylinder block is of a low-alloyed cast iron. The cylinder bores are of five classes in steps of 0.01 mm and are designated by the letters A, B, ë, D, Ö. The cylinder class is engraved on the cylinder block bottom face. (Fig.2-26).

The cylinders can be rebored to accommodate the oversize pistons of 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm bigger diameters.

The main bearing caps are machined complete with the cylinder block; therefore they are not interchangeable and feature distinctive notches on the outside surface (Fig.2-13).

Inspection and repair

Inspection. Wash the cylinder block thoroughly and clear the oilways. Blow dry with compressed air and inspect the cylinder block visually. Make sure there are no cracks in the mountings or elsewhere in the cylinder block.

When cooling water is suspected in the crankcase, use a special test bench to examine the cylinder block for leaks. To do this, plug the cylinder block cooling water jacket ports, force in some room temperature water at 0.3 MPa (3 kgf/sq.cm). There should be no evidence of water leaks from the cylinder block within 2 minutes.

When coolant is found contaminated with oil, do not strip the engine completely, rather check the cylinder block for cracks in the area of the oilways. For that, drain the coolant from the cooling system, remove the cylinder head, refill the cylinder block water jacket with water and apply compressed air to the vertical oilway in the cylinder. If there are any bubbles in the water of the cooling water jacket, renew the cylinder block.

Examine the split face between the cylinder block and cylinder head using a straight-edge and feeler blades. Position the straight-edge diagonally and using a feeler gauge measure at the centre, both transversely and longitudinally. The flatness to be within 0.1 mm tolerance.

Cylinder repair. Check the cylinders for wear to be maximum

0.15 mm.

When available, use a dial inside gauge to measure the bore diameter (Fig.2-27) in four lands, both longitudinally and transversely (Fig.2-28). Use tool 67.8125.9502 to set the inside gauge to zero.

Fig.2-26. Cylinder size class engraved on the cylinder block

Fig.2-27. Measuring the cylinder bore with the inside dial gauge:

1 - inside dial gauge; 2 - setting to zero against reference gauge

Fig.2-25. Basic sizes of the cylinder block

There is practically no wear in the land 1 area of the cylinders. Compare the values measured on the first and other cylinder lands to see the amount of the cylinder wear.

When the maximum wear is over 0.15 mm, rebore the cylinders to the nearest oversize; provide 0.03 mm honing allowance on the diameter. Hone the cylinder walls so that the difference between the oversize piston diameter and cylinder bore is 0.025

- 0.045 mm.

Pistons and connecting rods

General Description

The basic sizes of the pistons and connecting rods are shown in Fig.2-29.

Piston is an aluminium casting. The piston weight is precisely maintained during the manufacturing process. Consequently, there is no need to select the matching piston of the same weight class during the engine assembly.

There are five classes (Ä, Ç, ë, D, Ö) of the piston according to their major diameter, in steps of 0.01 mm. The piston has a complex outside shape: tapered in height and oval in the crosssection area. Therefore, the piston diameter must be measured in the plane normal to the gudgeon pin at 55 mm from the piston crown.

There are three classes (1, 2, 3) of pistons, as to the hole for the gudgeon pin, in step of 0.004 mm. The classes of piston diameters and holes for the gudgeon pin are stamped on the piston crown (Fig.2-30).

The oversize piston major diameter is 0.4 or 0.8 mm bigger. The 0.4 step is marked in the form of a triangle, while the 0.8 mm step is marked as a square.

Use the arrow on the piston crown for correct piston orientation and fitting within the cylinder. The arrow of the piston must face the timing belt end of the engine.

Gudgeon pin is of steel, hollow, floating-type, i.e. freely operates in the piston bosses and connecting rod bush. The gudgeon pin is secured in the hole with two circlips.

As to the outside diameter the gudgeon pin are of three classes in step of 0.004 mm. The class is paint marked on the gudgeon pin face: 1st class - blue paint, 2nd class - green paint, 3rd class - red paint.

Piston rings are of cast iron. The top compression ring has a chromed barrel face. The bottom compression ring is of the scraper type. The oil control piston ring features chromed working edges and has a coil expander (spreader ring).

The oversize rings are marked as 40 or 80, which corresponds respectively to 0.4 or 0.8 mm step in the major diameter.

Connecting rod is of forged steel.The connecting rod is machined together with the big end cap, therefore they are interrelated. The cylinder number (6 in Fig.2-30) is stamped on the caps and connecting rods to prevent confusion when refitting into the cylinders. During reassembly the figures on the connecting rod and cap should face the same side.

Fig.2-28. Measuring the cylinder bore:

A and B - direction of measurement; 1, 2, 3 and 4 - No of lands

Fig.2-29. Basic dimensions of pistons and connecting rods

The connecting rod small-end features a pressed-in steelbronze bush. As to the diameter of the bush, the connecting rods are divided into three classes in steps of 0.004 mm (similar to the pistons).

The class number (5 in Fig.2-30) is engraved on the big-end cap.

The connecting rod small-end and big-end are classified weight-wise (Table 2-1) and are paint marked on the connecting

rod. The engine must always be fitted with the connecting rods of the same weight class. The connecting rod weight can be adjusted by removing excess metal from the bosses on the small-end or big-end up to the minimum size of 16.5 mm or 35.5 mm (Fig.2-

31).

Selecting piston to cylinder

The design clearance between the piston and cylinder bore (for new parts) is 0.025 - 0.045. The condition must be ensured through prior measurements of the associated parts and fitting of the pistons which belong to the same class of cylinders. The maximum permissible gap (for worn parts) is 0.15 mm.

When the engine, in the course of operation, shows a clearance of over 0.15 mm, reselect the pistons to the cylinders to have the clearance as close to the design value as possible.

The pistons of classes Ä, ë, Ö are intended for replacement. These classes can be selected to closely match any cylinder in the event of the engine overhaul, since the pistons and cylinders are classified with small overlapping in the sizes. It means, the piston of class C can match the cylinders of class B and D.

Dismantling and reassembly

Dismantling. Prise out the gudgeon pin circlips from the pis-

ton, press out the gudgeon pin and detach the connecting rod from the piston. Remove the piston rings.

The bolts are pressed into the connecting rod and must never be pressed out from the connecting rods during the engine or piston/connecting rod dismantling.

When some components of the piston or connecting rod are not damaged or show little wear, they can be re-used. Identify them accordingly during dismantling to facilitate further reassembly with the respective components and to the original cylinder.

Reassembly. Before reassembly, select the gudgeon pin to match the piston and connecting rod. For new components the class of the holes for the gudgeon pin in the connecting rod and pistons must be identical to the class of the gudgeon pin. In case of used components, for perfect mating, the gudgeon pin when oiled should fit the relevant piston hole by force of the hand thumb (Fig.2-32); it should not drop out while held as shown in Fig.2-33.

If the gudgeon pin drops, replace it with a new one of the next class. When the piston is fitted with the gudgeon pin of the third class, renew the piston, gudgeon pin and connecting rod.

The reassembly of the piston and connecting rod is a reversal of dismantling. After reassembly oil the gudgeon pin through the holes in the piston bosses. Refit the piston rings in the order as detailed below.

Oil the piston rings and grooves in the piston. Arrange the piston rings so that the gap of the first compression ring is at a 45° interval to the gudgeon pin; space the gap of the second compression ring at about 180° interval to the first compression gap, afterwards align the gap of the oil ring at about 90° interval to the first compression ring gap.

Fig.2-32. Fitting the gudgeon pin using the thumb pressure Fig.2-33. Checking the gudgeon pin fitting

Make certain the second compression ring is positioned with the recess facing down (Fig.2-30), while the TOP (or ÇÖêï) mark should face up (the piston crown).

Before refitting the oil ring, check to see the joint of the coil expander (spreader ring) is on the side opposite to the ring gap.

Inspection

Scrape away all traces of carbon from the piston and remove all carbon deposits from the piston/connecting rod oilways.

Thoroughly examine the components. Make sure there are no cracks of any sort on the piston, piston rings, gudgeon pin, connecting rod or big-end cap. Renew the bearing shell if there is obvious scoring or scuffing.

The piston-ring-to-groove wall clearance is checked using feeler blades as shown in Fig.2-34, fitting the ring into the respective groove. For new components the design clearance (rounded off to the nearest 0.01 mm) is 0.04-0.07 mm for the first compression ring; 0.03-0.06 mm for the second compression ring and

0.02-0.05 mm for the oil control ring. When worn, the tolerance must not exceed the specified maximum of 0.15 mm.

The piston ring gap should be checked with a feeler gauge via inserting the rings into the gauge (Fig.2-35), with the bore equal to the piston ring nominal diameter ±0.003 mm. Use gauge

67.8125.9502 for the normal 82 mm rings.

The gap for all new piston rings should be within 0.25 to 0.45 mm. The maximum permitted gap for worn rings is 1 mm.

Crankshaft and flywheel

Design description

Basic dimensions of the crankshaft are shown in Fig.2-36.

Crankshaft is cast-iron, of five bearings. The crankshaft journals can be reground during the engine overhaul when the diameter is reduced by 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.75 mm and 1mm.

The crankshaft endfloat is restricted by two thrust washers. The thrust washers are fitted on both sides of the rear main bearing: a sintered one (yellow) at the rear end and a steel-aluminium one at the front end. The thrust washers are of two sizes - standard and 0.127 mm thicker.

Crankshaft bearing shells are thin-walled, aluminium with steel backing. The upper bearing shells of No 1, 2, 4 Ë 5 bearings have inner oil grooves, whilst the lower bearing shells are plain shells. The upper and lower bearing shells of the centre bearing (No 3) are plain, without an oil groove. The big-end bearing shells (both upper and lower ones) are also plain.

The oversize bearing shells are thicker for the crankshaft journals reduced by 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.75 mm and 1 mm.

Flywheel is cast iron with the pressed-in steel starter ring. The flywheel centering is ensured by a front input shaft bearing which is pressed into the crankshaft.

A taper recess on the rear face of the flywheel near the ring gear is provided as a positioning mark. Adjust it against cylinder No 4 crankpin.

Inspection and overhaul

Crankshaft. Inspect the crankshaft. Make sure there are no cracks. Examine the faces which mate the oil seal working edges for evident cracking, scoring or scuffing.

Mount the crankshaft on two V-blocks as shown in Fig.2-37 and check the run-out with a dial gauge:

• main bearing journals - maximum 0.03 mm;

• mounting surfaces for the input shaft sprocket and bearing

- maximum 0.04 mm;

• surface mating the oil seal - maximum 0.05 mm.

Measure the diameters of the main bearing journals and

Fig.2-34. Checking the piston ring-to-groove gap

Fig. 2-35. Checking the piston ring gap

crankpins. Regrind when the wear is in excess of 0.03 mm, ovality is over 0.03 mm, or when scoring and scuffing is obvious.

Regrind the journals and crankpins through reducing the

diameter to the nearest undersize (Fig.2-36).

When regrinding, observe the sizes for the crankshaft fillet as

shown in Fig.2-36 for the standard-size crankshaft.

The ovality and taper for the main bearing journals and big-

end bearing journals after regrinding must not exceed 0.005 mm.

On a reground crankshaft, the vertical offset of the crankpins axes must be 0.35 mm (Fig.2-37). To check this, place the crankshaft on V-blocks and position the crankshaft so that No1 crankpin axis is in the horizontal plane passing through the main bearing journal axes. Using a dial gauge, check the vertical offset of crankpins No 2, No 3 and No 4 against crankpin No 1.

After regrinding the journals and crankpins, polish them using the diamond paste or special grinding pastes.

After regrinding and followed finishing, unplug the oilways, then machine the plug seats with the mill-cutter Ä.94016/10 and spindle Ä.94016. Thoroughly wash the crankshaft and oilways to flush abrasive residuals and blow dry with compressed air.

Use tool Ä.86010 to press in new plugs and punch each plug in three points with a centre-punch.

On crankshaft web No 1 mark the reduced amount (undersize) of the main bearing journals and big-end journals (eg. M

0.25; B 0.50).

Bearing shells. Remember that no adjustment on the bearing shells is allowed. Renew the shells when there are scratches, scoring or flaking.

The main and big-end bearing running clearance is checked by measuring the components. It is convenient to check the clearance with the help of «Plastigage» (which consists of a fine thread of perfectly-round plastic, which is compressed between the bearing cap shell and the crankshaft journal) under the following procedure:

- ensure the journals and bearing shells are clean and dry, cut several pieces of the appropriate-size Plastigage (they should be slightly shorter than the width of the bearings) and place one piece on each crankshaft journal axis;

- with the bearing shells in position in the cages, fit the caps to their original locations (depending on the journal checked). Take care not to disturb the Plastigage. Then tighten the securing nuts and bolts to the specified torque. Tighten the connecting rod bolts to 51 ç•Ï (5.2 kgf•m), while the main bearing cap bolts to 80.4 ç•Ï (8.2 kgf•m);

- remove the bearing cap and check the running clearance by comparing the width of the crushed Plastigage on each journal with the scale printed on the card gauge to obtain the bearing running clearance (Fig.2-38).

Fig.2-36. Basic crankshaft dimensions

Fig.2-37. Permissible runouts for basic crankshaft surfaces

The nominal design clearance is 0.02-0.07 mm for the crankpins and 0.026-0.073 mm for the main bearing journal. When the running clearance is below the maximum value (0.1 mm for the big-end bearing journals and 0.15 mm for the main bearing journals), the bearing shells can be re-used.

When the running clearance exceeds the specified maximum, replace the respective bearing shells with new ones.

Where the crankshaft journals are worn and are reground to their undersize, change the bearing shells to those oversize.

Thrust washers. Similar to the bearing shells, no adjustments are possible on the thrust washers. Always renew the thrust washers when there is scoring, scuffing or flaking.

The thrust washers must be renewed when the crankshaft endfloat exceeds the specified limit of 0.35 mm. Select new thrust washers of the standard size or 0.127 mm thicker to have the endfloat within 0.06 - 0.26 mm.

The crankshaft endfloat is checked with the help of a dial gauge as outlined in Section «Engine reassembly» (Fig.2-14).

The crankshaft endfloat can be also checked on the engine in the vehicle. The axial shift of the crankshaft occurs at depressing and releasing the clutch pedal, the endfloat value is determined by the front crankshaft end displacement.

Flywheel. Inspect the teeth of the flywheel starter ring, should they are found deteriorated, renew the flywheel. If there are temper colours on flywheel face 3 (Fig.2-39), check the

starter ring interference on the flywheel. The starter ring should not rotate when applying 590 ç•Ï (60 kgf•m).

Check to see there are no scratches or scores on flywheel face 1 mating the crankshaft flange or on surface 3 mating the clutch disc.

Remove by lathing all scratches or scores on face 3, provided the overall thickness is reduced maximum by 1 mm. Do not forget to lathe surface 2 maintaining the size (0.5±0.1) mm. Ensure surfaces 2 and 3 are parallel to surface 1. The out-of-parallelism tolerance is 0.1 mm.

Mount the flywheel on the tool, centralize is over the mounting bore against surface 1 and check the run-out of surfaces 2 and 3. The run-out values at the outboard points must not exceed

0.1 mm.

Cylinder head and valve gear

General description

Refer to Fig. 2-40 for basic sizes of the valves, guides and valve seats.

Cylinder head is an aluminium casting with the pressed-in iron valve seats and valve guides.

The top of the valve guides is sealed with metal-rubber oil caps 3 (Fig.2-41).

The outer diameter of the replacement guides is 0.2 mm bigger. Bearing housing 5 with camshaft 6 is fitted to the cylinder head.

Valve train. Valves 2 are operated by the cams through levers 4. One end of the lever pushes the valve stem, while the other end rests on the spherical head of adjuster bolt 7 which adjusts the clearance A in the valve gear.

Valve clearance adjustment

The clearances are adjusted on the cold engine by means of the chain adequately tensioned. The adjustment should result is

0.15±0.02 mm clearance for the intake valves and 0.2±0.02 mm clearance for the exhaust valves.

While making adjustments, do not to twist the valve lever, since it may result in a bigger final clearance.

The clearance is adjusted as follows:

- turn the crankshaft clockwise to align the indentation in the camshaft sprocket with the mark on the bearing housing, which corresponds to the end of the compression stroke of the cylinder No4. Now in this position adjust the clearance at the cylinder No4 exhaust valve (No8 cam) and cylinder No3 intake valve (No6 cam);

- slacken the valve lever adjuster bolt nut;

- between the valve lever and cam place a flat feeler blade (A.95111) of 0.15 mm for the intake valve (0.2 mm for the exhaust valve) and using a spanner tighten or slacken the bolt with further

02.7823.9505 can be used instead of tool Ä.60311/R. Remove the valve springs together with lower and upper

seats. Turn the cylinder head over and remove the valves from the underneath. Take off the outer caps from the valve guides.

Reassembly. Reassemble the cylinder head in the reverse

order. Before assembly begins, always oil the outer caps and valves with engine oil.

Before refitting the camshaft bearing housing, check the cen-

tering pins are in the position (Fin.2-21). Tighten the bearing housing securing nuts in the sequence as shown in Fig.2-23. Ensure the centering pins are positioned in the bearing housing recesses without sheering.

The valve clearances are adjusted only after the cylinder

head has been refitted to the engine.

Inspection and overhaul

Cylinder head. Thoroughly wash the cylinder head and

clean the oilways. Scrape away all carbon from the combustion chambers and from the exhaust valve ports with a wire brush.

Examine the cylinder head. Look to see there is no cracking

in the cylinder head. Check the cylinder head for leakage when suspicious as to possible oil contamination with coolant.

To do this, plug the cooling water jacket holes (using plugs

from tool A.60334, Fig.2-45), then pump water into the cylinder head water jacket at 0.5 åP‡ (5 kgf/Òm2). No water leak should be evident within 2 minutes.

The cylinder head tightness can be checked with compressed

air. Plug the water jacket holes (using the same plugs from tool Ä.60334), immerse the cylinder head into the bath with water of 60-80°C for 5 minutes. Next pump the compressed air into the cylinder head at 0.15-0.2 åPa (1.5-2 kgf/Òm2). No air bubbles must be seen from the cylinder head within 1-1.5 minutes.

Valve seats. The valve seat chamfer shape is shown in

Fig.2-46 and Fig.2-47. Check the working chamfers of the valve seats (valve contact area) for pitting, corrosion or deterioration. Minor irregularities of the seats must be recut. Remove as little metal as possible. Both manual and machine grinding is permitted. Valve regrinding is carried out as follows.

Position the cylinder head on a mounting base. Insert cen-

tering tool A.94059 in the valve guide and clean the seat chamfers from carbon using tools Ä.94031 and Ä.94092 for the exhaust valves and Ä.94003 and Ä.94101 for the inlet valves. Use spindle Ä.94058 and centering tool Ä.94059. The centering tools differ in diameters, use tool Ä.94059/1 for the inlet valve guides and Ä.94059/2 for the exhaust valve guides.

Put spring A.94069/5 on tool Ä.94059, fit tapered wheel A.94078 on spindle Ä.94069 for the exhaust valve seats or wheel Ä.94100 for the inlet valve seats, secure the spindle in a grinder and recut the valve seat (Fig.2-48).

The grinding wheel must be off at the moment the grinding wheel contacts the valve seat, otherwise vibration ensued will distort the chamfer. Frequent diamond dressing of the wheel is recommended.

The working chamfer width for the exhaust valve seats should be as shown in Fig.2-46 using tools A.94031 (20°) and A.94092 to remove the wear hardening on the minor diameter. The tools should be used with spindle Ä.94058 and are centered with tool Ä.94059.

The working chamfer width for the inlet valve seats should be as shown in Fig.2-47, first machine the inner chamfer with tool Ä.94003 (Fig.2-49) to get the diameter of 33 mm, then machine the 20° chamfer with tool Ä.94101 to achieve the working chamfer width of 1.9-2 mm.

Valves. Scrape away carbon from the valves.

Check the valve stem for deformation; check the valve disc for cracking. Always renew the damaged valve.

Examine the valve working chamfer. Reface the valve in case of minor damages, maintaining the chamfer angle at 45°30' ±5'. Note, that the distance between the bottom valve seat face and base diameter (36 and 30.5) must be as shown in Fig.2-50.

Valve guides. Check the valve guide - to - stem clearance by measuring the valve stem diameter and valve guide bore.

The clearance for new guides is 0.022 - 0.055 mm for the inlet valves and 0.029 - 0.062 mm for the exhaust valves; the maximum permissible clearance (in case of wear) is 0.3 mm provided no excessive noise is produced in the valve train.
