1.

Engine Mechanical - 2.0L (LTG)

CAUTION: Refer to Component Fastener Tightening Caution.

CAUTION: In order to avoid damage, install the spark plugs after the cylinder head has been installed on the engine.

Install NEW cylinder head plugs. Coat the plugs with sealer. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers.

2. Install the water jacket hole plugs (1) in the top of the cylinder head. Tighten the plugs to 50 N.m (37 lb ft).

3.

Engine Mechanical - 2.0L (LTG)

10.

Engine Mechanical - 2.0L (LTG)

WARNING: Compressed valve springs have high tension against the valve spring compressor. Valve springs that are not properly compressed by or released from the valve spring compressor can be ejected from the valve spring compressor with intense force. Use care when compressing or releasing the valve spring with the valve spring compressor and when removing or installing the valve stem keys. Failing to use care may cause personal injury.

CAUTION: Do not compress the valve springs to less than 24.0 mm (0.943 in). Contact between the valve spring retainer and the valve stem oil seal can cause potential valve stem oil seal damage.

Install the retainers and keys using the following procedure:

  1. Install the retainer (2).
  2. Using the EN-50717 compressor and the EN-43963 adapter, compress the valve spring.
  3. Install the valve keys (1).
  4. Slowly release the compression from the valve/spring assembly.
  5. Inspect for proper valve key seating.

CAMSHAFT COVER AND COMPRESSOR AIR INTAKE TURBOCHARGER CLEANING AND INSPECTION

Positive Crankcase Ventilation System Overview

Engine Mechanical - 2.0L (LTG)

Preliminary Procedure

The tamper-proof positive crankcase ventilation system includes components that may be replaced if necessary. The system may include an outlet duct connected to the end of the Positive Crankcase Ventilation Tube. If any component is suspect, refer to the inspection procedures and individual replacement procedures before attempting to disassemble the PCV system. Be careful when moving the assembled components with tamper-proof fittings to avoid stress on the connections.

  1. Camshaft Cover
    NOTE: In the event that the camshaft cover requires replacing, the PCV hose at the air outlet duct and turbocharger will be removed by cutting and/or prying at the connection. The air outlet duct and turbocharger must remain intact in order to reinstall these components.
    Procedure
    1. Thoroughly clean the camshaft cover and mating surfaces. Inspect each component, Orings, and fasteners, and replace as necessary.
    2. Ensure proper use of room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) sealant. Use of Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) and Anaerobic Sealant
    3. Refer to Camshaft Cover Replacement if the camshaft cover does not pass inspection.
  2. Positive Crankcase Ventilation Tube
    NOTE: All PCV valves are tamper-proof and cannot be serviced.
    Procedure
    Inspect the PCV connection fittings and tubes. Replace the Positive Crankcase Ventilation Tube if suspect.
    NOTE: The PCV fitting is tamper-proof and cannot be serviced. A new PCV tube and valve are included with a new turbocharger assembly.
    NOTE: On earlier designs of this system the fastener at the PCV fitting on the turbocharger was not tamper-proof. To aid in disassembly or removal, this fastener can be removed if it is not tamper-proof.
    Procedure
    Completely inspect the turbocharger and all other engine components that may cause similar conditions before replacing the turbocharger.
  3. Positive Crankcase Ventilation Tube
    NOTE: All PCV valves and fittings are tamper-proof and cannot be serviced.
    Procedure
    Inspect the PCV connection fittings and tubes. Replace the Positive Crankcase Ventilation Tube if suspect.
    NOTE: The air cleaner outlet duct is equipped with a tamper proof connection that should NOT be removed unless the PCV tube or air cleaner outlet duct is being replaced. Loosening the air cleaner outlet duct clamps will allow the duct to be disconnected from the air cleaner assembly and turbocharger for repositioning without removing the tamper proof connection.
    Procedure
    Inspect the duct and hose, or the connection if the duct is not attached to the hose. Replace any components that are suspect.
