If DTC P1326 is present, first perform the bearing clearance inspection with the Engine Bearing Clearance
Tester device (SST KQ231-2T110QQK). This device checks the rod bearing clearance by placing air and
vacuum into the cylinder block. Measure the bearing clearance and follow the instructions in this bulletin.
Refer to the flow chart found on pages 2-4, then follow the appropriate procedure as outlined in this bulletin.
Before conducting the procedure, verify the vehicle is included in the list of affected VINs.
A Vehicle Diagnosis Number (VDN) must be created with or without DTC P1326, after scanning for DTCs, prior
to performing PI2002Y/Z. If a VDN is not created, Warranty claim submission issues WILL occur.

This outline provides information regarding the application of Loctite® Threadlocker Blue 242 to the dial
gauge ‘measuring point’ end included in the Engine Bearing Clearance Tester (BCT) kit SST KQ231
2T110QQK. This extra step helps reduce the possibility of the measuring point tip loosening on the dial
gauge due to repeated use. If measuring tip comes loose, inaccurate BCT measuring readings will result.
Instructions:
Probe Rod
1. Unscrew the ‘measuring point’ end (A) from the base of the dial gauge.
2. Apply one drop of blue Loctite® to the threaded end of the ‘measuring point’.
3. Reinstall the ‘measuring point’ end back onto the dial gauge finger tight.
4. Fully insert the dial gauge into the probe rod.
5. Secure the gauge to the probe rod by tightening the locking wing nut by hand.
6. Test gauge operation by pressing the lower bar of the probe rod inward and
verify the gauge readings correspond with the movement

Removal of inner wheel liner and the
use of general tools may be required
to access and rotate the crank bolt on
some 2.0L T-GDI engine models.
IMPORTANT
Monitor the displayed reading on the
KDS screen/gauge. Turn the
crankshaft slowly as the value starts
to increase.
Select ‘Next’.
NOTICE
If TDC is NOT found, the KDS may display a message that the cylinder was on the exhaust
stroke. If so, repeat steps 13-16.

IMPORTANT
DO NOT place the SST box over any paper work (ex. RO) as there is a water drain hole located
underneath the box. Ensure that the compressed air supply provides consistent adequate air
pressure. DO NOT use a portable compressor. Always handle the SST box with care, DO NOT
hit, drop, and expose to high heat sources or moisture. Do not remove the cover (unless
calibration is necessary).

2. After removal of the engine from the vehicle, remove all components that will need to be transferred
by referring to the applicable Shop Manual on KGIS.
3. Install all removed components from the old engine block onto the new engine block utilizing all parts
from Service Kit(s).
NOTICE
Refer to TSB ENG083 for gasoline direct injection (GDI) specific information, including
related warnings and cautions for handling high fuel pressure system components and
combustion seals must be compressed after installation and before attempting to install into
the cylinder head. Use SST 09353 2B000.
Be sure to:
• Fill crankcase with 5W-30 oil (refer to KGIS for oil fill level requirements)
• Recommended Product: QUARTZ 9000 FUTURE FGC 5W-30 Full Synthetic SN PLUS, QUARTZ
9000 FUTURE XT 5W30 Full Synthetic SN PLUS,
Mobil Super Synthetic 5W30 or above.
If not available, use other brand 5W30 and Full Synthetic type with API SN/SN+/SP, ILSAC
GF4/GF5 or higher service grade.
• Fill and bleed the cooling system with 50/50 coolant or mixture appropriate for area.
• Pressurize the fuel system before starting the vehicle.
• Reset engine adaptive values and perform steering angle sensor calibration.
6. Confirm that the Rom ID is up-to-date. If not, reflash the ECU to the latest ROM ID available. Refer to
PI2002A/B – Knock Sensor Detection System ECU Logic Improvement.
7. Verify proper operation of the vehicle with road test, and with the engine ON (running), erase any
stored DTCs (e.g., EPS, ESC, and TPMS) that may have been set by this procedure. Verify no leaks
exist and ensure engine oil and coolant are at their proper level.
If any DTCs are still active, follow any related diagnosis and repair as needed.
