Setting the stator and rotor of the sensor when measuring the gap
1. Stator
2. Rotor
Check the gap between the stator and rotor with a non-magnetic feeler gauge, which should be 0.2 mm.
The valves are adjusted only on diesel engines, other engines are equipped with hydraulic tappets. Some engines are also equipped with additional injection jet valves, which require adjustment using a special method.
Clearances of intake and exhaust valves on a warm engine are 0.25 mm.
Diesel 2.3 l
Adjustment
1. Warm up the engine.
2. Stop the engine and turn off the ignition.
3. Set the piston of the 1st cylinder to TDC of the compression stroke. To do this, turn the crankshaft clockwise until the mark on the pulley or damper aligns with the lug on the cylinder block. Remove the valve cover and check the valve springs of the 1st cylinder. If both springs or at least one are compressed, then turn the crankshaft 1 revolution. If the rocker arms swing, then the piston of the 1st cylinder is at TDC of the compression stroke.
4. Loosen locknuts A.
5. Set the gap to 0.25 mm and tighten the lock nut.
6. Set the piston of the 4th cylinder to TDC of the compression stroke and adjust the clearances in valves B.
7. Install the removed parts.
8. Check the idle speed.
Engines 2.0 and 2.6 l
On these engines, only the combustion chamber fuel jet valves are adjustable.
1. Warm up the engine.
2. Stop the engine and turn off the ignition.
3. Check the tightening torque of the cylinder head bolts (see subsection 3.5.6).
4. Set the piston of the 1st cylinder to TDC of the compression stroke. To do this, turn the crankshaft clockwise until the mark on the pulley or damper aligns with the lug on the cylinder block. Remove the valve cover and check the valve springs of the 1st cylinder. If both springs or at least one are compressed, then turn the crankshaft 1 revolution. If the rocker arms swing, then the piston of the 1st cylinder is at TDC of the compression stroke.
5. Loosen the lock nut of the jet valve and turn the screw to set the gap to 0.25 mm (the dipstick should slide with a little effort). Tighten the lock nut.
6. Adjust the valve clearances of the remaining cylinders in accordance with the engine operating order.
7. Install the removed parts.
8. Check the idle speed.
Engines 2.4, 3.0 and 3.5 l
The valve clearances of these engines are set only during cylinder head repair (see subsection 3.5.6 and subsection 3.4.24).
