Disassembly
Remove the cylinder head, timing belt, front cover, flywheel, pistons and crankshaft.
Checking the block of cylinders
Check the cylinder block for chips, corrosion, scale deposits and rust. Also, check for cracks or other damage. Replace the block of cylinders at detection of considerable defects.
Pic. 2.110. Cylinder diameter measurement
Measure the diameter of the cylinders with the indicator-caliper in three zones in height in the directions «A» And «IN» (pic. 2.110).
Level 1: TDC of the piston.
Level 2: Midway.
Level 3: BDC of the piston.
If the out-of-roundness (ovality) or the taper of the cylinder is greater than the maximum permissible value, or there are scratches or signs of seizing on the cylinder mirror (badass), then the block cylinders should be bored to the appropriate repair size and honed. After repair of the block of cylinders establish pistons and piston rings of the corresponding repair size.
Nominal cylinder diameter: 86.5–86.53 mm (2.4L), 85.0–85.03 mm (2.0L).
Maximum permissible taper of the cylinder: no more than 0.01 mm.
If there is an annular wear groove in the stop zone of the first compression ring at TDC, remove the groove ridge using a reamer or scraper.
Pic. 2.111. Piston Diameter Measurement Diagram
When repairing (boring and honing) cylinders to the repair size, calculate the bore diameter of the cylinder so that as a result of the repair, the nominal clearance between the piston and the cylinder is provided. All installed pistons must be of the same repair size. Piston diameter measurements are made at a distance of 2 mm from the edge of the skirt in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the piston pin (pic. 2.111).
Clearance between piston and cylinder: 0.02–0.04 mm.
Check for damage or cracks.
Pic. 2.112. Checking the surface of the block for warping
Using a straightedge and a flat feeler gauge, check the warping of the mating plane of the block under the head. Before checking, remove the remnants of the old gasket and foreign particles from the mating plane (pic. 2.112).
Rated value: 0.05 mm or less.
Maximum permissible value: no more than 0.1 mm.
Note. When restoring the surface by machining, the amount of metal removal should not exceed 0.2 mm.
Cylinder boring
When repairing, the maximum cylinder diameter is taken into account.
Note. The piston oversize number is stamped on the piston crown.
Measure the diameter of the piston installed in this cylinder.
Based on the measured value of the outer diameter of the piston, calculate the bore diameter of the cylinder.
Formula for calculating cylinder bore values
Cylinder bore diameter = piston outer diameter + clearance between piston and cylinder (0.02–0.04 mm) – honing allowance (0.02mm)
Bore all cylinders to the calculated diameter.
Note. When boring, to prevent the occurrence of thermal deformations of the cylinder walls, bore in the order of operation of the cylinders.
Honing the cylinder walls until the specified piston-cylinder clearance is achieved.
After honing, recheck the clearance.
Note. Install pistons of the same repair size in the engine.
