4.24a Scrow in the camshaft locking tools into the timing holes in the cylinder head extension
locking tools Into the timing holes in the cylinder head extension. To provide the necessary degree of timing accuracy, the machined end of the locking tools are a very close fit in the slots machined in the camshafts. To allow the tools to be screwed
4.26 Slip the timing belt off the sprockets
To make a camshaft sprocket holding tool, obtain two lengths of steel strip about 6 mm thick by 30 mm wide or simitar, one 600 mm long, the other
200
mm long (all dimensions approximate). Bolt the two strips together to form a forked end, leaving the bolt slack so that the shorter sfrfp can pivot freely. At the end of each 'prong' of the fork, secure a bolt with a nut and a locknut, to act as the fulcrums; these will engage with the cut-outs In the sprocket, and should profrude by about 30 mm
4.24b The tools engage in tho camshaft slots when fitted (shown removed for clarity)
fully into engagement, it may be necessary to move the crankshaft In one direction or another very slightiy until the tools are felt to engage fully (see illustrations). 25 Release tho nut on the timing belt tensioner to release the tension on the belt (see illustration) 26 II the timing belt is to be re-used, use white paml or chalk to mark the direction of rotation on the belt (if markings do not already exist), then slip the belt off the sprockets (see illustration). Note that the crankshaft must not be rotated whilst the belt is removed. 27 Check the timing belt carefully for any signs of uneven wear, splitting, or oil contamination. Pay particular attention to the roots ol the teeth. Renew it If there is the slightest doubt about its condition. If the engine is undergoing an overhaul, renew the belt as a matter of course, regardless of its apparent condition. The cost ol a new bett is nothing compared with the cosi of repairs, should the belt break in service. If signs of oil contamination are found, trace the source of the oil leak 8nd rectify it. Wash down the engme timing belt area and all related components, to remove all traces of oil,

Preparation for refitting 13 The mating faces of the cylinder head and cylinder block must be perfectly dean before refitting the head. Use a hard plastic or wooden scraper to remove all traces of gasket and carbon; also clean the piston crowns, Take particular care when cleaning the piston crowns as the soft aluminium alloy is easily damaged. Make sure that the carbon is not allowed to enter the oil and water passages -this Is particularly important for the lubncahon system, as carbon could block the oil supply to the engine's components. Using adhesive tape and paper, seal the water, oil and bolt holes in the cylinder block. To prevent carbon entering the gap between the pistons and bores, smear a little grease In the gap. After cleaning each piston, use a small brush to remove all traces of grease and carbon from the gap. then wipe away the remainder with a clean rag. Clean all the pistons in the same way. 14 Check the mating surfaces of the cylinder block and the cylinder head for nicks, deep scratches and other damage. If slight, they may be removed carefully with a file, but If excessive, machining may be the only alternative to renewal. If warpage of the cylinder head gasket surface Is suspected, use a straight-edge to check it for distortion. Refer to Part 0 of this Chapter if necessary. 15 Check the condition of the cylinder head bolts, and particularly their threads, whenever they are removed. Wash the bolts In a suitable
sequence
9.24 Lubricate the cam followers and place them in position in their respective bores solvent, and wipe them dry. Check each bolt for any sign of visible wear or damage, renewing them if necessary.
Refitting 18 Before refitting the assembled cylinder head, make sure that the head and block mating surfaces are perfectly clean, and that the bolt holes in the cylinder block have been mopped out to clear any oil, 17 The now gasket should not be removed from its nylon cover until required for use. Fit Ihe gasket dry, and make sure that the mating surfaces on the head and block are perfectly clean. 18 Place the gasket on the cylinder block so that the word ALTO can be read from above. 19 Lower the cylinder head onto the block so that it locates on the positioning dowel. 20 The cylinder head bolt threads must be clean and lightly lubricated. Screw the bolts in finger-tight then working progressively and in the sequence shown, lighten all the cylinder head bolts to the Stage 1 torquo setting given In the Specifications, using a torque wrench and a suitable socket. With all the bolts tightened to their Stage 1 setting, working again in the specified sequence, first angle-tighten the bolts through the specified Stage 2 angle, then again through the Stage 3 angle, using a socket and extension bar. It Is recommended that an angle-measuring gauge Is used during this stage ot tightening, to ensure accuracy (see Illustrations). 21 Reconnect the exhaust system front pipe to the manifold using a new flange gasket.

2C*2 Diesel engine in-car repair procedures
1 General information
Using this Chapter Chapter 2 is divided Into four Parts; A. 8, C and 0. Repair operations that cart be carried out with the engine in the vehicle are described In Part A, SOHC (B-valve) petrol engines. Part B, DOHC (16-valve) petrol engines and Part C. diesel engines, Part D covers the removal of the engine/transmission as a unit, and describes the engine dismantling and overhaul procedures. In Parts A. 8 and C. the assumption Is made that the engine is installed in Ihe vehicle, with all anciliaries connected If the engine has been removed for overhaul, the preliminary dismantling information which precedes each operation may be ignored.
Engine description Both normally aspirated (non-turbo) and turbocharged diesel engines are fitted to the Punto range. The engines together with their codes are given in the Specifications at the start of lhis Chapter. The engines are water-cooled, single-overhead camshaft. In-line lour cylinder units with cast-iron cylinder blocks and aluminium-alloy cylinder heads. The engine is mounted transversely at the front of the vehicle, with the transmission bolted to the left-hand side of the engine. The cylinder head carries the camshaft which is driven by a toothed timing belt. It also houses the inlet and exhaust valves which are closed by single coll valve springs and run in valve guides pressed into the cylinder head. The valves are operated by cam followers fitted over each valve, and the clearances are adjusted by shims positioned between the followers and the camshaft lobes. The camshaft is supported by four bearings • the end bearings are machined in the cylinder head and the remaining bearings have caps bolted to the cylinder head. The cylinder head contains integral oiiways which supply and lubricate the camshaft and followers and it also Incorporates renewable swirl chambers. The crankshaft Is supported by five main bearings, and endfloat Is controlled by a thrust bearing fitted on the rear main bearing. All diesel engines are fitted with a brake servo vacuum pump dnven from the left-hBnd end of the camshaft. Engine coolant is circulated by a pump, driven by the auxiliary drivebeit. For details of the cooling system refer to Chapter 3. Lubricant is circulated under pressure by a pump, driven from the front of the crankshaft. Oil is drawn from the sump through a strainer, and then forced through an externally-mounted, replaceable screw-on filter. From there, it is distributed to the cylinder head.
where il lubncates the camshaft journals and followers, and also to the crankcase, where it lubricates the main bearings, connecting rod big- and small-ends, gudgeon pins and cylinder bores. Oil jets are fitted to the base of each cylinder bore - these spray oil onto the underside of the pistons, lo Improve cooling. An oil cooler is also fitted to reduce the temp-erature of oil before it re-enters the engine.
Repair operations possible with the engine in the car The following work can be carried out with the engine in the can a) Compression pressure - testing b) Auxiliary drivebeit - removal and refitting (refer to Chapter rej c) Valve clearances • checking and adjustment (refer to Chapter 1B) d) Camshaft cover - removal and refitting e) Tim/ng belt and covers • removal and refitting 0 Timing belt tensioner and sprockets -removal and refitting g) Cylinder head - removal and refitting' h) Camshaft and cam followers - removal end refitting' I) Camshaft oil seal - renewal j) Crankshaft oil seals - renewal k) Flywheel • removal, inspection and refitting I) Engine mountings - inspection and renewal m)Sump • removal and refitting n) Oil pump and pick-up tube assembly -removal, inspection and refitting 'Cylinder head dismantling procedures are detalfed In Chapter 2D, with details of camshaft and cam follower removal. Note: It ts possible to remove the pistons and connecting rods (after removing the cylinder nead and sump) without removing the engine. However, this is not recommended. Work of this nature is more easily and thoroughly completed with the engine on tho bench as described in Chapter 2D.

General information 1 The camshaft and fuel Injection pump are driven by the crankshaft, by means of sprockets and a timing belt. All three sprockets rotate in phase with each other and this provides the correct valve and injection pump timing as the engine rotates. When the timing bell is removed during servicing or repair, it is possible for the camshaft, injection pump and crankshaft to rotate independently of each other and the correct timing Is then lost.
