PROGRAMMING
NOTE: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may
lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems
have completed a relearn cycle.
After any repair which required that the battery be disconnected, the following should be performed. Refer
to owners manual for additional information.
1. Ensure ignition switch is in OFF position. Reconnect battery positive cable first then connect the
negative ground strap.
2. After connecting battery, enter anti-theft code for radio (if equipped).
3. Fully close all power windows, operate each window door switch in up position for at least one
second (windows closed) to activate "one touch" opening/closing function (if equipped).
4. Set clock to correct time.
ADJUSTMENTS
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
NOTE: A drive by wire throttle system is used on this model vehicle. No throttle
cable adjustment required.
For testing and matching engine electronics control module to throttle valve control module. See
THROTTLE VALVE CONTROL MODULE (J338) in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in
ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
VALVE CLEARANCE
Engine is equipped with non-adjustable, non-serviceable hydraulic valve adjusters. Irregular valve adjuster
noise during cranking is normal. If valve adjuster(s) are noisy under any other condition inspect valve
adjusters. See HYDRAULIC VALVE ADJUSTERS .
HYDRAULIC VALVE ADJUSTERS
WARNING: ALWAYS release fuel pressure before disconnecting fuel injection related
component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components.
CAUTION: DO NOT start engine for about 30 minutes after installing camshafts.
Hydraulic valve lifters must bleed down or valves may strike pistons. Rotate
crankshaft by hand 2 full revolutions before starting engine to ensure valves
do not strike pistons.
NOTE: Valve lifters are not repairable or adjustable. Replace faulty lifters. Irregular
valve train noise is normal when starting engine.
Checking
1. Start engine and run until cooling fan cycles at least once. Increase engine speed to 2500 RPM for 2
minutes or test drive vehicle and observe valve train noise. If valve train noise is still considered
noisy, go to next step.
2. Turn engine off. Remove valve cover. Rotate crankshaft until camshaft lobes point upward on lifter
being checked. Using a wooden or plastic wedge, push down on top of lifter. See Fig. 2 . Try inserting
a .008" (.20 mm) feeler gauge between top of lifter and camshaft. If feeler gauge fits between top of
lifter and camshaft, replace faulty lifter.

GENERAL INFORMATION.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Radio/cassette or radio/CD player is equipped with an anti-theft protection

circuit. Whenever battery is disconnected, radio will go into anti-theft mode.
When battery is reconnected, radio will display CODE, and will be
inoperative until proper code number is entered. Obtain security code before
disconnecting battery.
NOTE: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may
lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems
have completed a relearn cycle.
NOTE: For reassembly reference, label all electrical connectors, vacuum hoses and
fuel lines before removal. Place mating marks on other major assemblies
before removal.
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE
Remove fuel pump relay located in fuse/relay panel (behind left side of dash). Start engine, allow engine to
run until it stops. Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable. Install fuel pump relay. Slight

CYLINDER HEAD
Cylinder Head Resurfacing
Measure cylinder head warpage, measure at several points along gasket surface using straight edge and
feeler gauge. See Fig. 96 . If warpage exceeds specification, machine cylinder head. See CYLINDER
HEAD table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. If machining causes cylinder head height to be less than
specification, replace cylinder head. When checking dimensions for cylinder head height, measure at (A)
through the holes for the head bolts. See Fig. 97 .
Fig. 96: Checking Cylinder Head For Warpage

Fig. 97: Checking Cylinder Head Height

Valve Guide Checking
NOTE: Intake valve stem diameter differs from exhaust valve stem diameter. Use
appropriate valve when measuring valve guide wear.
1. To measure valve guide wear, attach dial indicator to cylinder head. Insert valve into guide until valve
stem tip is even with top end of guide.
2. Lightly push edge of valve head against dial indicator tip. Zero dial indicator. Push valve away from
dial indicator, in direction opposite of camshaft axis. Note dial indicator reading.
3. If deflection does not exceed specification, guide is okay. See CYLINDER HEAD table under
ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. If deflection exceeds specification, recheck using new valve. If
deflection still exceeds specification, replace cylinder head. See Fig. 98 .
Fig. 98: Checking Valve Guide Wear

Valve Guide Removal
Hand lap valves and check sealing. Also check cylinder head sealing surface can be refaced. If a problem is
found in either case, valve guides should not be replaced. See VALVE GUIDE CHECKING . After
checking valve guide wear, if deflection still exceeds specification, replace cylinder head.
Valves Stem Seals Replacement (Head Installed)
1. Remove camshafts. See CAMSHAFTS under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.

2. Remove valve lifters and place them with contact surface downward. During removal make sure
lifters are not interchanged.
3. Remove spark plugs with Spark Plug Removal Tool (3122B).
4. Set piston of relevant cylinder to Bottom Dead Center (BDC).

Onto Cylinder Head
Fig. 100: Identifying Valve Stem Seal Puller (3364)

Installing Valves Stem Seals
1. Slide plastic sleeve (A) supplied over relevant valve stem. This will prevent the new valve stem seal
(B) from being damaged. See Fig. 101 .
2. Place new valve stem seal into Installation Tool (3365).
3. Oil valve stem seal sealing lip and press carefully onto the valve guide. See Fig. 101 . The assembly is
basically a reverse of the dismantling sequence.
Hydraulic valve lifters must bleed down or valves may strike pistons.
Rotate crankshaft by hand 2 full revolutions before starting engine to
ensure valves do not strike pistons.
Fig. 101: Identifying Plastic Sleeve Placement, Valve Stem Seal & Installation Tool (3365)
Valve Seats
When repairing engines with leaking valves, it is not sufficient to replace or renew valve seats and valves. It
is also necessary to check the valve guides for wear. This is particularly important on high mileage engines.
The valve seats should only be refaced just enough to produce a perfect seating pattern. The maximum
permissible refacing dimension must be calculated before beginning refacing. If the refacing dimension is
exceeded, the function of the hydraulic valve lifters can no longer be guaranteed and the cylinder head
should be replaced. If the valve is to be replaced as part of a repair, use a new valve for the calculation.
1. Insert valve into guide. Press valve tightly against valve seat. Lay a straightedge across top of cylinder
head. Measure distance between valve stem tip and bottom of straightedge. See Fig. 102 . This is
valve installed height. If a new valve is going to be installed, use new valve to make this
measurement.
2. This measurement determines installed valve height. Subtract measured distance from minimum
specification. See MINIMUM VALVE INSTALLED HEIGHT table. If valve installed height is too
low or too high, cam followers will not work correctly. If valve stem height is less than 31.339" (4.0
mm) on intake valve (outer), 31.327" (3.7 mm) intake valve (center), or 1.354" (34.4 mm) on the
exhaust valve, install a new valve and measure again. See Fig. 103 .
3. If valve stem height measurement is still less than specification, replace cylinder head. If valve stem
height exceeds specification, seat can be machined; however, DO NOT machine enough material
away from seat to cause valve stem height to be less than minimum specification.

Test lifters, see HYDRAULIC VALVE ADJUSTERS under ADJUSTMENTS. If lifter(s) can be pushed
down more than .008" (.20 mm), replace lifters.
Camshaft Axial Play
Measure camshaft axial play (intake and exhaust) with lifter and camshaft chain removed. Camshaft bearing
caps No. 2. and No. 4. installed. Remove all other caps, note their locations for reassemble. See Fig. 104 .
Maximum wear limit .008" (.20 mm). See Fig. 105 .

Valves
WARNING: Sodium-filled exhaust valves must not be disposed of until they have been
properly treated as follows: By HAND (no air tools), saw the valves into two
sections using a metal saw at a point between the center of the valve stem
and the valve head. The valves must not come into contact with water when
this is done. Throw the valves into a bucket of water (not more than ten at a
time) and step back. A sudden chemical reaction will occur during which the
sodium filling burns. After this treatment the valves can be disposed of as
normal scrap.
Measure valve stem diameter and valve margin. If not within specification, replace valves. Replace as
necessary. See VALVES & VALVE SPRINGS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
Valves must not be refaced by grinding. Hand lap only. If lapping does not produce proper sealing, check
valve seat. See VALVE SEATS .

CYLINDER BLOCK ASSEMBLY
Piston & Rod Assembly
1. Ensure piston, connecting rod and rod caps are marked with matching cylinder number prior to
removal. Ensure engine front arrow is marked on top of piston and front mark "A" exists on rod and
cap. See Fig. 106 . Pistons and rods are to be replaced in sets of 4. Rod cap bolts and nuts must be
replaced after removing or loosening.
Fig. 106: Assembling Piston & Rod

2. Mark piston in relation to pin. Remove circlips from ends of pin bore. Use Piston Pin
Replacer/Installer (VW 222A) to remove and install piston pin. If pin is too tight, heat piston to 140°F
(60°C). Ensure rod is properly positioned with piston. See Fig. 106 .
Fitting Pistons
Measure clearances with cylinder block supported on work bench. Check clearance of piston-to-cylinder
bore. Piston diameter is stamped on top of piston in millimeters. See PISTON-TO-CYLINDER BORE
DIMENSIONS .
PISTON-TO-CYLINDER BORE DIMENSIONS

Size Piston Diameter (1) Cylinder Bore
Standard 3.187" (80.96 mm) 3.189" (81.01 mm)
1st Oversize 3.207" (81.46 mm) 3.209" (81.51 mm)
(1) Measurement does not include graphite coating, thickness of .0008" (.02 mm).
Graphite coating wears away.
Piston Rings
Install piston ring with TOP mark (if present) facing upward. Insert ring from bottom of cylinder block to a
depth of about .591" (15 mm) and measure ring end gap. See Fig. 107 . Measure ring side clearance with
piston. See Fig. 108 . If not within specification, replace as necessary. See PISTONS, PINS & RINGS
table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Install rings on piston with TOP mark facing upward. Recessed
edge on outside of center ring must face piston pin (down). Position ring gaps on piston at 120 degree
intervals. See Fig. 106 .

Fig. 108: Checking Piston Ring Side Clearance

Rod Bearings
NOTE: For help in identifying rod bearing installation, refer to illustration. See Fig.
109 .
Mark rod caps for reinstallation. Use Plastigage to measure bearing oil clearance. DO NOT turn additional
90 degrees. Measure connecting rod side play. Replace or machine as necessary. See CRANKSHAFT,
MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Ensure oil hole is
properly positioned and bearing shell is centered (dimension "A") when installed. Lubricate bolt threads
when installing connecting rod caps. Tighten evenly to specification in several steps. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS .
Fig. 109: Installing Connecting Rod Bearings (Note Position Of Oil Hole)
Crankshaft & Main Bearings
Main bearing caps are marked with matching journal for installation in original position. See Fig. 110 . Use
plastigage to measure oil clearance. Measure crankshaft end play. See THRUST WASHER .
From the factory, upper crankshaft bearings are installed with the right thickness. Colored marks are used to
identify bearing thickness. A letter in the lower part of the block determines which thickness of bearing must
be installed where. See Fig. 111 . Also see CRANKSHAFT BEARINGS .

(1) Lower crankshaft bearing shells are always supplied as replacement part with the
color marking of Yellow.
Thrust Washer
Insert feeler gauge between No. 3 main bearing and crankshaft thrust face to measure end play. Replace
thrust washer as necessary. See CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS table
under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
Cylinder Block
Measure cylinder bore diameter in 3 places: at center of bore and .39" (10 mm) from top and bottom of bore.
See Fig. 112 . If cylinder bore diameter is not within specification, hone cylinder bore until diameter meets
first oversize specification. See CYLINDER BLOCK under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. When
measuring cylinder bore, maximum allowable difference between actual measurement and standard
specification is .0031" (.08 mm).

Oil Pressure
Check oil pressure with engine at normal operating temperature. Oil pressure at idle should be is 14-36 psi
(1.0-2.0 bar). Oil pressure at 3000 RPM should be 44-73 psi. (3.0-4.5 bar). At higher RPM, oil pressure
should not exceed 100 psi (7.0 bar). Inspect oil pump as necessary. See OIL PUMP .
Oil Spray Jet (For Piston Cooling)
Oil spray jet bolt contains a pressure relief valve. See Fig. 106 . The opening pressure for the pressure relief
valve is 23-26 psi (1.6-1.8 bar). Do not substitute standard bolt for pressure relief valve.
OIL PUMP

illustrations. See Fig. 113 -Fig. 114 .
Remove oil pan. See OIL PAN . Remove front oil seal flange. See CRANKSHAFT FRONT OIL SEAL
FLANGE . Remove chain tensioner. Mark running direction of chain. Remove oil pump attaching bolts and
remove oil pump assembly. To install, reverse removal procedure. Install chain in running direction as
marked. Pretension spring on tensioner, on installation. Ensure both dowel pin sleeves for centering oil
pump are installed.
Inspection
Check chain, tensioner, drive sprocket and oil pump sprocket for wear or damage (chips or nicks). Inspect
oil pump, if running surfaces or gears are scored, replace oil pump assembly. Ensure oil pickup (suction
pipe) is clean and unrestricted. Inspect oil cooler for contamination. Ensure oil pressure relief is not scored.
Replace component(s) that are faulty.
