ENGINE IDENTIFICATION

NOTE: For repair procedures not covered in this article, see ENGINE OVERHAUL
PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION.

Engine can be identified by Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) stamped on a metal tag located near lower left
corner of windshield. The eighth character of VIN identifies engine. See ENGINE IDENTIFICATION
CODES. The tenth character of VIN identifies model year ("X" for 1999; "Y" for 2000; "1" for 2001).

ENGINE IDENTIFICATION CODES


Application Engine Model Engine Code
1.5L 4G15 A
1.8L 4G93 C

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.

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 into 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. 10.
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).

Rod Bearings

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

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 ROD
BEARINGS and CONNECTING RODS tables under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
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
bearings according to color codes on crankshaft and cylinder block. Select NEW main bearings using
color codes from crankshaft and cylinder block. See Fig. 14.

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.

3. Place straightedge across front cover housing and measure gear end play clearance between each gear and
straightedge.
4. Inspect pressure relief valve for freedom of movement in bore. Replace components if not within
specifications. See OIL PUMP SPECIFICATIONS table. Inspect oil pan for damage. Inspect oil screen
for clogging.
