Skoda Felicia

1. Remove a head of cylinders, a chain and asterisks of the GRM drive (see the Part Repair without extraction from the car of the petrol engine of 1.3 l of the present Chapter). Record sleeves of cylinders.
2. Uncover with bent a shaft of the lower heads of rods. In case of need remove conrod assemblies (see the Section Removal, check of a state and installation of conrod and piston assemblies).
3. Before starting extraction of a bent shaft, perform the following operations:

a) Temporarily put on a shaft pin an external persistent washer (flutes of maslotok outside from a bearing cover), combine a lock tag with a groove on a cover and put a washer against the stop in the nest. Make sure that the tag of an internal persistent washer also enters a reciprocal groove in the cover;
b) Having established a persistent washer, put on the big remote plug (a slanted inner edge to the block), an adjusting washer, a segment spline (the slanted party inside) and an asterisk of a gas-distributing chain;
c) Establish a pulley of a bent shaft, screw a pulley bolt (do not forget about a washer) and tighten it with the required effort, having taken the appropriate measures against a shaft provorachivaniye (see the Section Removal, check of a state and installation of a flywheel). Let's notice that the wrong installation of persistent washers will lead to jamming of a shaft in the course of tightening of a bolt of a pulley. As a result of such jamming washers easily can be damaged.

4. By means of the dial measuring instrument of plunger type measure an axial side play of a bent shaft. Fix the measuring instrument so that its plunger rested against an end face of a forward pin of a shaft, and settled down parallel to an axis of the last. Shift a shaft against the stop back, nullify the device, then push a shaft forward at all length of its course and consider the indication of the measuring instrument. Compare result to requirements of Specifications. The size of an axial side play is regulated by selection of a persistent washer.

5. Alternatively axial side play of a shaft can be measured by means of the probe of lezviyny type. Shift a shaft until the end of its course towards a flywheel, then the probe measure gap thickness between a cheek of the first crank and a persistent washer.

6. Remove all temporarily installed components. Also remove a flywheel (see the Section Removal, check of a state and installation a flywheel).

7. Turn out fixing screws and remove assembly of a casing of a back epiploon from a shaft pin. Remove laying of a casing (if that is provided). At assembly laying is subject replacements without fail.

8. Check covers of radical bearings for existence of identification marking. Usually marking is presented by tags in the form of figures with 1 on 3, reading out from the party of a pulley. If marking is absent, then put it independently (use a center punch as did it when marking conrod covers). Besides number of a cover the arrangement of tags has to specify the adjusting direction of covers unambiguously.

9. Turn out fixing bolts and uncover radical bearings together with inserts.
10. Take a bent shaft and remove a persistent washer from its right pin. Try to remember the adjusting provision of a washer.
11. Take the top inserts of radical bearings from the beds and put them together with lower, as installation on the engine.

1. According to the instructions provided in the Part Repair without extraction from the car of the petrol engine of 1.6 l or Repair without extraction from the car of the diesel engine of the present Chapter perform the following procedures:

a) Remove a cogwheel of the belt drive of the GRM drive from a bent shaft;
b) Remove components of assembly of coupling and a flywheel;
c) Remove the case pallet, a maslootrazhatel (if it is provided) and the oil pump with a maslozabornik;
d) Remove assemblies of casings of forward and back epiploons.
2. In case of need remove pistons with rods (see the Section Removal, check of a state and installation of conrod and piston assemblies).

3. Working measure the size of an axial side play of a bent shaft in the manner similar described for the engine of 1.3 l. The size of an axial side play is regulated by selection of thickness of persistent washers.

4. Alternatively the side play can be defined by means of the probe of lezviyny type, having measured by it the maximum size of a gap between a cheek of the 2nd crank and a persistent washer. Compare the received result to requirements of Specifications.

5. Check covers of radical bearings for existence of factory marking. Digital tags are put as an arrangement of covers in the direction from the GRM drive to a flywheel.

6. In stages (on 1/4 turns for approach) weaken bolts of fastening of covers, then turn out them manually. Having slightly tapped the hammer with soft brisk, uncover together and inserts. Attach inserts to the covers an adhesive tape.

7. Carefully take a bent shaft. Try not to allow losses of the top inserts of radical bearings. As the shaft weighs quite a lot, it will be reasonable to resort to the help of the assistant. Lay the removed shaft on a plain working surface, having propped up it wooden wedges.

8. Take the top inserts and put them together with lower as installation on the engine. Remove the persistent washers established on both sides of the 3rd crank.
9. Pay attention to the dredging pierced in covers and the block - this dredging is provided for hit of ledges of inserts in them and defines unambiguity of installation of the last.

1. Carefully wash out a bent shaft solvent and dry it. Wash out openings of maslotok and make sure of passability of the last (use a special brush). In order to avoid damage of new inserts chamfer edges of openings.
2. Check a condition of radical and conrod necks of a shaft. In case of identification of signs of uneven wear, zadir, cracks, cavities and other damages, the shaft should be given to a pro-point with the subsequent replacement of bearings with repair.

3. By means of a micrometer measure diameters of radical and conrod necks of a shaft. By measurement of diameter in various points of necks, check the last for existence of signs of ovality or conicity. Compare results of check to requirements of Specifications, in case of need give a shaft to a pro-point.

4. Check a condition of the surfaces of both pins of a shaft contacting to epiploons. In case of identification of the zadir, roughnesses and other damages capable to lead to failure of a new epiploon, it is necessary to ask for the help specialists of car service where the corresponding recovery repair of pins can be executed.
5. By means of the dial measuring instrument of plunger type determine the size of a side beating of a bent shaft in its middle part. The shaft should be laid in V-shaped blocks. Try not to damage the surfaces of necks and pins of a shaft during performance of check. The maximum admissible value of a side beating of a bent shaft is not stipulated by manufacturers, however authors of the present manual recommend to accept the size of 0.05 mm as a starting point. At excess of this value the shaft should be replaced, or to deliver for recovery repair in a workshop of car service.

6. On engines of 1.3 l it is necessary to determine by a micrometer thickness of persistent washers. Worn-out washers are replaced in couple from among corresponding to them on dimensional group. If the shaft was exposed to a pro-point, one of washers after selection can refuse to thickness another, and has to establish from the inside (closely to a crank cheek).

7. The description of procedures of check of a condition of inserts of radical and conrod bearings see in the Section Check of a State and Selection of Inserts of Radical and Conrod Bearings of a Bent Shaft.
