1.4L/1.6L DOHC ENGINE MECHANICAL 1C1 – 77
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
CYLINDER HEAD AND GASKET
The cylinder head is made of an aluminum alloy. The cylin-
der head uses cross–flow intake and exhaust ports. A
spark plug is located in the center of each combustion
chamber. The cylinder head houses the dual camshafts.
CRANKSHAFT
The crankshaft has eight integral weights which are cast
with it for balancing. Oil holes run through the center of the
crankshaft to supply oil to the connecting rods, the bear-
ings, the pistons, and the other components. The end
thrust load is taken by the thrust washers installed at the
center journal.
TIMING BELT
The timing belt coordinates the crankshaft and the dual
overhead camshafts and keeps them synchronized. The
timing belt also turns the water pump. The timing belt and
the pulleys are toothed so that there is no slippage be-
tween them. There are two idler pulleys. An automatic ten-
sioner pulley maintains the timing belt’s correct tension.
The timing belt is made of a tough reinforced rubber similar
to that used on the serpentine accessory drive belt. The
timing belt requires no lubrication.
OIL PUMP
The oil pump draws engine oil from the oil pan and feeds
it under pressure to the various parts of the engine. An oil
strainer is mounted before the inlet of the oil pump to re-
move impurities which could clog or damage the oil pump
or other engine components. When the drive gear rotates,
the driven gear rotates. This causes the space between
the gears to constantly open and narrow, pulling oil in from
the oil pan when the space opens and pumping the oil out
to the engine as it narrows.
At high engine speeds, the oil pump supplies a much high-
er amount of oil than is required for lubrication of the en-
gine. The oil pressure regulator prevents too much oil from
entering the engine lubrication passages. During normal
oil supply, a coil spring and valve keep the bypass closed,
directing all of the oil pumped to the engine. When the
amount of oil being pumped increases, the pressure be-
comes high enough to overcome the force of the spring.This opens the valve of the oil pressure regulator, allowing
the excess oil to flow through the valve and drain back to
the oil pan.
OIL PAN
The engine oil pan is mounted to the bottom of the cylinder
block. The engine oil pan houses the crankcase and is
made of cast metal.
Engine oil is pumped from the oil pan by the oil pump. After
it passes through the oil filter, it is fed through two paths
to lubricate the cylinder block and the cylinder head. In one
path, the oil is pumped through the oil passages in the
crankshaft to the connecting rods, then to the pistons and
the cylinders. It then drains back to the oil pan. In the sec-
ond path, the oil is pumped through the oil passages to the
camshaft. The oil passes through the internal passage-
ways in the camshafts to lubricate the valve assemblies
before draining back to the oil pan.
EXHAUST MANIFOLD
A single four–port, rear–takedown manifold is used with
this engine. The manifold is designed to direct escaping
exhaust gases out of the combustion chambers with a
minimum of back pressure. The oxygen sensor is
mounted to the exhaust manifold.
INTAKE MANIFOLD
The intake manifold has four independent long ports and
uses inertial supercharging to improve engine torque at
low and moderate speeds. The plenum is attached to the
intake manifold.
CAMSHAFTS
This engine is a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) type,
which means there are two camshafts. One camshaft op-
erates the intake valves, and the other camshaft operates
the exhaust valves. The camshafts sit in journals on the
top of the engine in the cylinder head and are held in place
by camshaft caps. The camshaft journals of the cylinder
head are drilled to create oil passages. Engine oil travels
to the camshafts under pressure where it lubricates each
camshaft journal. The oil returns to the oil pan through
drain holes in the cylinder head. The camshaft lobes are
machined into the solid camshaft to open and close the in-
take and the exhaust valves precisely the correct amount
at the correct time. The camshaft lobes are oiled by splash
action from pressurized oil escaping from the camshaft
journals.

ENGINE COOLING 1D – 19
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
ELECTRIC COOLING FAN
CAUTION : Keep hands, tools, and clothing away
from the engine cooling fans to help prevent personal
injury. This fan is electric and can turn ON whether or
not the engine is running.
CAUTION : If a fan blade is bent or damaged in any
way, no attempt should be made to repair or reuse the
damaged part. A bent or damaged fan assembly
should always be replaced with a new one. Failure to
do so can result in personal injury.
The cooling fans are mounted behind the radiator in the
engine compartment. The electric cooling fans increase
the flow of air across the radiator fins and across the con-
denser on air condition (A/C)–equipped vehicles. This
helps to speed cooling when the vehicle is at idle or moving
at low speeds.
1.4L DOHC engine fan size is 340mm (13.4 in.) and
1.6L/1.8L DOHC engine main fan size is 300 mm (11.8
inches) in diameter with five blades to aid the air flow
through the radiator and the condenser. An electric motor
attached to the radiator support drives the fan.
A/C models have two fans – the main fan and the auxiliary
fan. The auxiliary fan is 300 mm (11.8 inches) in diameter.
Non–A/C models have only the main fan.
A/C OFF or Non–A/C Model (1.4L/1.6L)
S The cooling fans are actuated by the electronic
control module (ECM) using a low–speed cooling
fan relay and a high–speed cooling fan relay. On
A/C–equipped vehicles, a series/parallel cooling fan
relay is also used.
S The ECM will turn the cooling fans on at low speed
when the coolant temperature reaches 97.5°C
(207.5°F) and the cooling fans off at 95.25°C
(203.4°F).
A/C OFF or Non–A/C Model (1.8L)
S The cooling fans are actuated by the electronic
control module (ECM) using a low–speed cooling
fan relay and a high–speed cooling fan relay. On
A/C–equipped vehicles, a series/parallel cooling fan
relay is also used.
S The ECM will turn the cooling fans on at low speed
when the coolant temperature reaches 93°C
(199°F) and the cooling fans off at 90°C (194°F).
A/C ON (1.4L/1.6L)
S The ECM will turn the cooling fans on at low speed
when the A/C system is on. The ECM will change
to high speed when the coolant temperature reach-
es 101.25°C (214°F) or the high side A/C pressure
reaches 1859 kPa (270 psi).
S The cooling fans will return to low speed when the
coolant temperature reaches 99°C (210°F) and the
high side A/C pressure reaches 1449 kPa (210 psi).
A/C ON (1.8L)
S The ECM will turn the cooling fans on at low speed
when the A/C system is on. The ECM will change
to high speed when the coolant temperature reach-
es 97°C (207°F) or the high side A/C pressure
reaches 1859 kPa (270 psi).
S The cooling fans will return to low speed when the
coolant temperature reaches 94°C (201°F) and the
high side A/C pressure reaches 1449 kPa (210 psi).
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
The vehicle is designed to accept an engine block heater
that helps to warm the engine and to improve starting in
cold weather. It also can help to reduce fuel consumption
while a cold engine warms up.
The engine block heater is located under the intake man-
ifold and uses an existing expansion plug for installation.

GENRATOR OUTPUT TEST
1. Perform the generator system test. Refer to ”Gen-
erator System Check”in this section.
2. Replace the generator if it fails that test. Refer to
”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service portion of
this section. If it passes the test, perform the on–
vehicle output check which follows.
Important : Always check the generator for output before
assuming that a grounded ”L” terminal circuit has dam-
aged the regulator.
3. Attach a digital multimeter, an ammeter, and a car-
bon pile load to the vehicle.
Important : Be sure the vehicle battery is fully charged,
and the carbon pile load is turned off.
4. With the ignition switch in the OFF position, check
and record the battery voltage.
5. Remove the harness connector from the generator.
6. Turn the ignition to RUN with the engine not run-
ning. Use a digital multimeter to check for voltage in
the harness connector ”L” terminal.
7. The reading should be near the specified battery
voltage of 12 volts. If the voltage is too low, check
the indicator
L" terminal circuits for open and
grounded circuits causing voltage loss. Correct any
open wires, terminal connections, etc., as neces-
sary. Refer to”Charging System” in this section.
8. Attach the generator harness connector.
9. Run the engine at a moderate idle, and measure
the voltage across the battery terminals. The read-
ing should be above that recorded in step 14, but
less than 16 volts. If the reading is over 16 volts or
below the previous reading, replace the generator.
Refer to”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service sec-
tion.
10. Run the engine at a moderate idle, and measure
the generator amperage output.
11. Turn on the carbon pile, and adjust it to obtain the
maximum amps while maintaining the battery volt-
age above 13 volts.
12. If the reading is within 15 amps of the generator’s
rating noted on the generator, the generator is
good. If not, replace the generator. Refer to”Gener-
ator” in the On–Vehicle Service section.
13. With the generator operating at the maximum out-
put, measure the voltage between the generator
housing and the battery negative terminal. The volt-
age drop should be 0.5 volt or less. If the voltage
drop is more than 0.5 volt, check the ground path
from the generator housing to the negative battery
cable.
14. Check, clean, tighten, and recheck all of the ground
connections.
GENERATOR SYSTEM CHECK
When operating normally, the generator indicator lamp will
come on when the ignition is in RUN position and go out
when the engine starts. If the lamp operates abnormally
or if an undercharged or overcharged battery condition oc-
curs, the following procedure may be used to diagnose the
charging system. Remember that an undercharged bat-
tery is often caused by accessories being left on overnight
or by a defective switch that allows a lamp, such as a trunk
or a glove box lamp, to stay on.
Diagnose the generator with the following procedure:
1. Visually check the belt and the wiring.
2. With the ignition in the ON position and the engine
stopped, the charge indicator lamp should be on. If
not, detach the harness at the generator and
ground the ”L” terminal in the harness with a 5–am-
pere jumper lead.
S If the lamp lights, replace the generator. Refer to
”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service section.
S If the lamp does not light, locate the open circuit
between the ignition switch and the harness
connector. The indicator lamp bulb may be
burned out.
3. With the ignition switch in the ON position and the
engine running at moderate speed, the charge indi-
cator lamp should be off. If not, detach the wiring
harness at the generator.
S If the lamp goes off, replace the generator. Re-
fer to ”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service
section.
S If the lamp stays on, check for a short to ground
in the harness between the connector and the
indicator lamp.
Important : Always check the generator for output before
assuming that a grounded ”L” terminal circuit has dam-
aged the regulator. Refer to”Generator” in the Unit Repair
section.

1) Rated current draw and no–load speed indicate
a normal condition for the starter motor.
2) Low rpm combined with high current draw is an
indication of excessive friction caused by tight,
dirty, or worn bearings; a bent armature shaft;
a shorted armature; or a shorted field coils.
3) Failure to operate with high current draw indi-
cates a direct ground in the terminal or fields,
or ”frozen” bearings.
4) Failure to operate with no current draw indi-
cates an open field circuit, open armature coils,
broken brush springs, worn brushes, high in-
sulation between the commutator bars, or oth-
er causes which would prevent good contact
between the brushes and the commutator.
5) Low, no–load speed and low current indicate
high internal resistance and high current draw,
which usually mean shorted fields.
7. Remove the solenoid assembly screws.
8. Remove the field connector nut. Disconnect the
field connector.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
BATTERY
The sealed battery is standard on all cars. There are no
vent plugs in the cover. The battery is completely sealed,
except for two small vent holes in the sides. These vent
holes allow the small amount of gas produced in the bat-
tery to escape. The battery has the following advantages
over conventional batteries:
S No water addition for the life of the battery.
S Overcharge protection. If too much voltage is ap-
plied to the battery, it will not accept as much cur-
rent as a conventional battery. In a conventional
battery, the excess voltage will still try to charge the
battery, leading to gassing, which causes liquid
loss.
S Not as liable to self–discharge as compared to a
conventional battery. This is particularly important
when a battery is left standing for long periods of
time.
S More power available in a lighter and smaller case.
The battery has three major functions in the electrical sys-
tem. First, the battery provides a source of energy for
cranking the engine. Second, the battery acts as a voltage
stabilizer for the electrical system. Finally, the battery can,
for a limited time, provide energy when the electrical de-
mand exceeds the output of the generator.
RATINGS
A battery has two ratings: (1) a reserve capacity rating
designated at 27°C (80°F), which is the time a fully
charged battery will provide 25 amperes current flow at or
above 10.5 volts; (2) a cold cranking amp rating deter-
mined under testing at –18°C (0°F), which indicates the
cranking load capacity.
RESERVE CAPACITY
The reserve capacity is the maximum length of time it is
possible to travel at night with the minimum electrical load
and no generator output. Expressed in minutes, Reserve
Capacity (or RC rating) is the time required for a fully
charged battery, at a temperature of 27°C (80°F) and be-
ing discharged at a current of 25 amperes, to reach a ter-
minal voltage of 10.5 volts.
COLD CRANKING AMPERAGE
The cold cranking amperage test is expressed at a battery
temperature of –18°C (0°F). The current rating is the mini-
mum amperage, which must be maintained by the battery
for 30 seconds at the specified temperature, while meeting
a minimum voltage requirement of 7.2 volts. This rating is
a measure of cold cranking capacity.The battery is not designed to last indefinitely. However,
with proper care, the battery will provide many years of
service.
If the battery tests well, but fails to perform satisfactorily
in service for no apparent reason, the following factors
may point to the cause of the trouble:
S Vehicle accessories are left on overnight.
S Slow average driving speeds are used for short pe-
riods.
S The vehicle’s electrical load is more than the gener-
ator output, particularly with the addition of after-
market equipment.
S Defects in the charging system, such as electrical
shorts, a slipping generator belt, a faulty generator,
or a faulty voltage regulator.
S Battery abuse, including failure to keep the battery
cable terminals clean and tight, or a loose battery
hold–down clamp.
S Mechanical problems in the electrical system, such
as shorted or pinched wires.
BUILT – IN HYDROMETER
The sealed battery has a built–in, temperature–compen-
sated hydrometer in the top of the battery. This hydrome-
ter is to be used with the following diagnostic procedure:
1. When observing the hydrometer, make sure that
the battery has a clean top.
2. Under normal operation, two indications can be ob-
served:
S GREEN DOT VISIBLE – Any green appearance
is interpreted as a ”green dot,” meaning the bat-
tery is ready for testing.
S DARK GREEN DOT IS NOT VISIBLE – If there
is a cranking complaint, the battery should be
tested. The charging and electrical systems
should also be checked at this time.
3. Occasionally, a third condition may appear:
S CLEAR OR BRIGHT YELLOW – This means
the fluid level is below the bottom of the hydrom-
eter. This may have been caused by excessive
or prolonged charging, a broken case, excessive
tipping, or normal battery wear. Finding a battery
in this condition may indicate high charging by a
faulty charging system. Therefore, the charging
and the electrical systems may need to be
checked if a cranking complaint exists. If the
cranking complaint is caused by the battery, re-
place the battery.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
1. Batteries with the green dot showing do not require
charging unless they have just been discharged
(such as in cranking a vehicle).
2. When charging sealed–terminal batteries out of the
vehicle, install the adapter kit. Make sure all the
charger connections are clean and tight. For best
results, batteries should be charged while the elec-

the same cable to the positive terminal on the other
battery. Never connect the other end to the nega-
tive terminal of the discharged battery.
CAUTION : To avoid injury do not attach the cable di-
rectly to the negative terminal of the discharged bat-
tery. Doing so could cause sparks and a possible bat-
tery explosion.
6. Clamp one end of the second cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery. Make the final con-
nection to a solid engine ground (such as the en-
gine lift bracket) at least 450 millimeters (18 inches)
from the discharged battery.
7. Start the engine of the vehicle with the good bat-
tery. Run the engine at a moderate speed for sever-
al minutes. Then start the engine of the vehicle
which has the discharged battery.
8. Remove the jumper cables by reversing the above
sequence exactly. Remove the negative cable from
the vehicle with the discharged battery first. While
removing each clamp, take care that it does not
touch any other metal while the other end remains
attached.
GENERATOR
The Delco–Remy CS charging system has several mod-
els available, including the CS. The number denotes the
outer diameter in millimeters of the stator lamination.
CS generators are equipped with internal regulators. A
Delta stator, a rectifier bridge, and a rotor with slip rings
and brushes are electrically similar to earlier generators.
A conventional pulley and fan are used. There is no test
hole.
Unlike three–wire generators, the CS may be used with
only two connections: battery positive and an ”L’’ terminal
to the charge indicator lamp.
As with other charging systems, the charge indicator lamp
lights when the ignition switch is turned to RUN, and goes
out when the engine is running. If the charge indicator is
on with the engine running, a charging system defect is in-
dicated. This indicator light will glow at full brilliance for
several kinds of defects as well as when the system volt-
age is too high or too low.The regulator voltage setting varies with temperature and
limits the system voltage by controlling rotor field current.
At high speeds, the on–time may be 10 percent and the
off–time 90 percent. At low speeds, with high electrical
loads, on–time may be 90 percent and the off–time 10 per-
cent.
CHARGING SYSTEM
CS generators use a new type of regulator that incorpo-
rates a diode trio. A Delta stator, a rectifier bridge, and a
rotor with slip rings and brushes are electrically similar to
earlier generators. A conventional pulley and fan are used.
There is no test hole.
STARTER
Wound field starter motors have pole pieces, arranged
around the armature, which are energized by wound field
coils.
Enclosed shift lever cranking motors have the shift lever
mechanism and the solenoid plunger enclosed in the drive
housing, protecting them from exposure to dirt, icy condi-
tions, and splashes.
In the basic circuit, solenoid windings are energized when
the switch is closed. The resulting plunger and shift lever
movement causes the pinion to engage the engine fly-
wheel ring gear. The solenoid main contacts close. Crank-
ing then takes place.
When the engine starts, pinion overrun protects the arma-
ture from excessive speed until the switch is opened, at
which time the return spring causes the pinion to disen-
gage. To prevent excessive overrun, the switch should be
released immediately after the engine starts.
STARTING SYSTEM
The engine electrical system includes the battery, the igni-
tion, the starter, the generator, and all the related wiring.
Diagnostic tables will aid in troubleshooting system faults.
When a fault is traced to a particular component, refer to
that component section of the service manual.
The starting system circuit consists of the battery, the
starter motor, the ignition switch, and all the related electri-
cal wiring. All of these components are connected electri-
cally.
