1 General information and engine identification
This Part of Chapter 2 is devoted to in-vehicle engine repair proce-
dures for the 2.OL and 2.4L four-cylinder engines. Information concerning
engine removal and installation and engine block and cylinder head over-
haul can be found in Part D of this Chapter.
The following repair procedures are based on the assumption that the
engine is installed in the vehicle. If the engine has been removed from the
vehicle and mounted on a stand, many of the steps outlined in this Part
of Chapter 2 will not apply.
The Specifications included in this Part of Chapter 2 apply only to the
procedurescontained in this Part. Part D of Chapterecontains the Specifi-
cations necessary for cylinder head and engine block rebuilding.
2 Repair operations possible with the engine in the vehicle
4.3 Carefully disconnect the spark plug wires from the clips
Many major repair operations can be accomplished without removing
the engine from the vehicle.
gasket, crankshaft oil seals and cylinder head gasket are all accessible
with the engine in place.
Clean the engine compartment and the exterior of the engine with
some type of degreaser before any work is done. It will make the job easier
and help keep dirt out of the internal areas of the engine.
Depending on the components involved, it may be helpful to remove
the hood to improve access to the engine as repairs are performed (refer
to Chapter ii if necessary). Cover the fenders to prevent damage to the
paint. Special pads are available, but an old bedspread or blanket will also
work.
Exterior engine components, such as the intake.and exhaust man-
ifolds, the oil pan (and the oil pump), the water pump, the starter motor,
the alternator, the distributor and the fuel system components can be re-
moved for repair with the engine in place.
Since the camshaft and cylinder head can be removed without pulling
the engine, valve component servicing can also be accomplished with the
engine in the vehicle. Replacement of the timing belt and sprockets is also
possible with the engine in the vehicle.
If vacuum, exhaust, oil or coolant leaks develop, indicating a need for
gasket or seal replacement, the repairs can generally be made with the
engine in the vehicle. The intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, oil pan
In extreme cases caused by a lack of necessary equipment, repair or
replacement of piston rings, pistons, connecting rods and rod bearings fs
possible with the engine in the vehicle. However, this practice is not rec-
