you have spent hundreds of dollars rebuilding an engine and you don't have another 25 bucks for a manual?

GusBuz

Your local library has free online auto repair like chilton or haynes sometimes alldata for free, all you need is to have a library card and you are good.

Yeah thats right.... I have no more money. I am out of work and go back in a week. And i need to have it running by then. Ty for the replies.

ezone

Did you find what you needed, or do you need more specific info?

05civicandy

I tried to load it but my phone would load it. I also needed the clocking position on the piston rings. Once i get this information i can carry on. The little money i had left i had to spend on fluids and a ring compressor.

1.7L engine:

Head bolts 3 steps: 14, 36, 49 ft-lb
rods: 24 ft-lb
main bridge 2 steps: 18, 38 ft-lb

Of course use the typical criss-cross and outward radiating patterns typical of any large engine assembly procedures. (sorry I can't hotlink info)


This looks like fairly typical ring install positions http://mmc-manuals.ru/manuals/pajero...6520000ENG.png

Ty so much bro! You are awesome.. I jave one more question. Is it different torque specs with a main one peice than a bridge?

05civicandy

Oh and one more thing.... What is the camshaft torque specs?

ezone

That spec was all I found for the 1.7 engine.
rocker shaft holders/cam journals
8mm bolts 14 ft-lb
6mm bolts 8.7 ft-lb

cam pulley bolt 27 ft-lb

Alright i got it all together and it keeps reving to 2500 rpm and idling on its own . what does that mean?

ezone

Got fault codes?
Got vacuum leaks?
Coolant full and burped?

Take off the breather lid and stick your fingers over the open port in the side of the throttle housing (IAC valve feed port)....If that brings the RPM way down that would indicate the IAC is open for SOME reason, quite likely to be stuck open from sitting.

If plugging the port does NOT bring the RPM way down look for vacuum leaks.

05civicandy

How do you burp the coolant?

See post 2, item 2

Well o dont know where to begin
..... I figired out it was a vaccum leak. Then the next day its starts running warm. Upon ajusting my valves........ Bam.... I find earl in my cylinder. .... I gies some of the rings moved on me upon insertation. ... Was the a specific place for the expander ring cause i noticed on there it didnt have one????????

05civicandy

Can u send me the clocking diagram one more time please....��

05civicandy

And 3 of my pistons are marked 3 and 1 of them is marked 2
... Does that mean anything??? This is my first rebuild...

ezone

Pistons and rods are usually marked in some way for minor size variations, make SURE they return to the holes they originally came out of.



Rings: It's up to you to make sure the rings are installed in the correct places and make sure they are actually right side up according to the manufacturers instructions. Not all rings are the same and if you get any upside down it will cause problems.


I can't see the pics in the previous post either. I'll try my hand at ASCII LOL
You do NOt want any of the gaps to line up on the wrist pin nor thrust areas. You want the gaps about 45 degrees away from the wrist pin line.

Basic ring gap positions:
