INFORMATION GENERAL FITTING REMINDERS
WORKSHOP SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
The suggestions, cautions and warnings in the
section are intended to serve as reminders for
trained and experienced mechanics. This manual
is not a definitive guide to automotive mechanics
or workshop safety.
Shop equipment, shop environment, and the use
and disposal of solvents, fluids, and chemicals
are subject to government regulations which are
intended to provide a level of safety. It is your
responsibility to know and comply with such
regulations.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DAMAGE
1.Always fit covers to protect fenders before
commencing work in engine compartment.
2.Cover seats and carpets, wear clean overalls
and wash hands or wear gloves before working
inside vehicle.
3.Avoid spilling hydraulic fluid or battery acid on
paint work. Wash off with water immediately if
this occurs. Use Polythene sheets to protect
carpets and seats.
4.Always use a recommended Service Tool where
specified.
5.Protect temporarily exposed screw threads by
replacing nuts or fitting plastic caps.SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.Whenever possible, use a lift when working
beneath vehicle, in preference to jacking. Chock
wheels as well as applying parking brake.
WARNING: Do not use a pit when
removing fuel system components.
2.Never rely on a jack alone to support vehicle.
Use axle stands carefully placed at jacking
points to provide rigid support.
3.Ensure that a suitable form of fire extinguisher is
conveniently located.
4.Check that any lifting equipment used has
adequate capacity and is fully serviceable.
5.Disconnect battery.
WARNING: Do not disconnect any pipes in
air conditioning system, unless trained
and instructed to do so. A refrigerant is
used which can cause blindness if allowed to
contact eyes.
6.Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided
when volatile degreasing agents are being used.
7.Do not apply heat in an attempt to free stiff
fixings; as well as causing damage to protective
coatings, there is a risk of damage to electronic
equipment and brake linings from stray heat.

DEPTH
1.Check for any apparent damage to tyres, paying
particular attention to side walls.
2.Look at tyre treads and check for any unusual
wear patterns which may indicate out of
specification adjustment of steering or
suspension.
NOTE: Any adjustments to steering or
suspension will be subject to additional
labour and/or material cost and should not
be carried out without the authorisation of the
customer.
3.Measure the tread depth across the width of the
tyre and around the circumference. Annotate the
maintenance check sheet with the lowest figure
obtained from each tyre.
NOTE: Any requirement to replace tyres
should be advised to the customer before
any remedial work is carried out. This will
be subject to additional labour and/or material
cost and should not be carried out without the
authorisation of the customer.

There are two purposes for conducting a road test.
Firstly, to ensure the work completed within the
dealership meets the standards required as layed
down by dealership processes. Secondly, for a skilled
technician to assess the general condition of the
vehicle and report any conditions that the customer
should be made aware of.
CAUTION: Two wheel roller tests must not
be carried out. Four wheel roller tests
must be restricted to 3 mph (5 kph).
1.Check for correct operation of starter switch.
Ensure the engine starts in a correct manner.
Leave the engine running.
2.With vehicle stationary, turn steering from lock to
lock. Check for smooth operation and ensure
there is no undue noise from the power steering
pump or drive belt.
3.Depress clutch and select all gears in turn.
Check for smooth notch free engagement.
4.Drive vehicle on a short road test. Check all
vehicle systems for correct operation. Pay
particular attention to:
Engine noise
Gearbox noise
Suspension noise
Body noise
Braking system operation
Gear selection
Engine performance
5.Check for correct operation of all instruments
and warning devices where practical.
6.After road test, carry out a final inspection of the
vehicle on vehicle ramps.
7.Check all underbonnet fluid levels and top-up if
necessary.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION CYLINDER BLOCK
The cylinders and crankcase are contained in a single cast iron construction. The cylinders are direct bored and
plateau honed with lubrication oil supplied via lubrication jets for piston and gudgeon pin lubrication and cooling. It
is not possible to rebore the cylinder block if the cylinders become worn or damaged. Three metal core plugs are
fitted to the three centre cylinders on the right hand side of the cylinder block.
Lubrication oil is distributed throughout the block via the main oil gallery to critical moving parts through channels
bored in the block which divert oil to the main and big-end bearings via oil holes machined into the crankshaft. Oil
is also supplied from the cylinder block main gallery to the five lubrication jets which cool and lubricate the piston
and gudgeon pins. Plugs are used to seal both ends of the main oil gallery at front and rear of the engine block.
An oil cooler is fitted to the LH side of the engine block; ports in the oil cooler assembly mate with ports in the
cylinder block to facilitate coolant flow. Oil is diverted through the oil cooler, centrifuge filter and full-flow filter
before supplying the main oil gallery. A tapping in the oil filter housing provides a lubrication source for the
turbocharger bearings and an oil pressure switch is included in a tapping in the oil cooler housing which
determines whether sufficient oil pressure is available to provide engine lubrication and cooling.
Cylinder cooling is achieved by water circulating through chambers in the engine block casting. A threaded coolant
jacket plug is located at the front RH side of the cylinder block.
Cast brackets are bolted to both sides of the engine block for mounting the engine to the chassis on the LH and
RH hydramount studs.
The gearbox bolts directly to the engine block; a gearbox shim plate is located between the adjoining faces of the
gearbox and the flywheel side of the engine block and is fixed to the rear of the engine block by two bolts. Two
hollow metal dowels locate the rear of the cylinder block to the shim plate. The gearbox casing provides the
mounting for the starter motor.
A port is included at the rear left hand side of the cylinder block which connects to the turbocharger oil drain pipe
to return lubrication oil to the sump. A plug sealing the lubrication cross-drilling gallery is located at the front right
hand side of the cylinder block and plugs for the main lubrication gallery are located at the front and rear of the
cylinder block. Two plastic dowels are used to locate the cylinder head to the cylinder block and must be replaced
every time the cylinder head is removed from the cylinder block.
