X95 – X38, RENAULT BRAND

10AI - SAFETY

General information

All information contained in these manuals is intendedexclusively for automotive industry professionals.

The documentation is intended to cover all vehicles inthe RENAULT range throughout the world, but may notcover equipment designed for use in specific countries.

The procedures and fault finding procedures recom-mended and described in this manual have been de-signed by automotive industry repair professionals.

a - General recommendations

Observe basic principles of vehicle repair.

The quality of repair depends first and foremost on thecare exercised by the person in carrying it out.

To ensure good repair:

- use recommended professional products and originalparts,

- observe the tightening torques,

- observe the recommendations for parts that should

always be replaced after removal, refitting or replace-ment operations,

- clean and degrease the sections to be bonded, to en-sure they bond correctly.

The design quality of the vehicles demands that noth-ing be left to chance during repair. Consequently, partsor components must be refitted in their original posi-tions (for example: heat shields, wiring routing, piperouting).

Use professional products and apply them with care.For example, do not apply too much sealant to jointfaces, in order to avoid plugging engine oil or coolantpipes.

b - Special tooling - ease of use

The repair procedures have been designed using spe-cial tools; they must therefore be carried out usingthese tools to ensure a high degree of working safetyand quality of repair.

The equipment we have approved has undergonecareful research and testing, and must be used andmaintained with care.

c - Safety

Certain devices and parts must be handled with partic-ular attention to safety and cleanliness and, above all,with due care.

The safety symbol used in this manual indicates thatspecial attention must be paid to the procedure or thetightening torque values.

Working safely:

- use suitable tools which are in good condition (use of« multi-purpose » tools, such as adjustable pliers,etc., should be avoided wherever possible),

- use supports and adopt a correct posture when per-forming heavy work or raising loads,

- check that the working area is clean and tidy duringthe operation,

- use personal protection (gloves, goggles, workshoes, masks, skin protection, etc.),

- always follow the safety instructions associated withthe operation to be performed,

- do not smoke when working on vehicles,

- do not use harmful products in unventilated rooms,

- do not ingest any chemicals (brake fluid, coolant,etc.).

Respecting the environment:- sort waste according to its particular qualities,

- do not burn discarded products (tyres, etc.).

WARNINGTo ensure proper sealing, the gasket surfaces mustbe clean, dry and not greasy (avoid any ngermarks).

WARNINGDo not scrape the joint faces of the aluminium, anydamage caused to the joint face will result in a riskof leaks.

WARNINGApplying excess sealant could cause it to be

squeezed out when parts are tightened. A mixtureof sealant and uid could damage certain compo-nents (engine, radiator, etc.).

10Ad - Conclusion

The procedures contained in this document merit yourattention. Please read them carefully in order to reducethe risk of injury, and avoid using incorrect procedures

that could damage the vehicle or make it dangerous inuse.

Following the recommended procedures will help youto provide a quality of service which will ensure the ve-hicles achieve the highest levels of performance andreliability.

Maintenance and repair operations must be carried outunder the proper conditions to ensure that our vehiclesrun safely and reliably.

II - CLEANLINESS

Risks relating to contamination

Protective bags

Use hermetically-resealable plastic bags, using adhe-sive tape, for example, to store components which willbe refitted and reused. Stored parts will therefore beless subject to the risk of contamination.

These are single-use bags: after use they must be dis-carded.

2 - General recommendations

Learn the basic principles of automobile maintenance.

The mechanic must focus his full attention and concen-tration in order to provide top quality maintenance op-erations.

To provide top quality maintenance:

- use original Renault Samsung Motors parts and theaccessories recommended,

- check the tightening torques,

- after any stripping operation, replace the studs, nuts,bolts etc. with original parts,

- clean the contact surfaces and check their condition.

Ensure that no parts are left over or missing after main-tenance operations. This point must always be takeninto account when refitting spare parts (e.g.: heat-re-sistant plates, routing of wiring harnesses, pipe rout-ing).

Make sure that products such as sealants are used ap-propriately. Do not spread too much sealant on thecontact surface.

3 - Special tools

It is requested that special tools be used to performmaintenance procedures. For top quality maintenanceand in order to ensure safety during operations, specialtools must be used.

Special Renault Samsung Motors tools have beendesigned based on studies and tests. Special caremust be taken when using these tools. The tools mustalso be regularly maintained.

4 - Reliability

The technical specifications of the parts are continu-ously being improved and developed. It is thereforenecessary to regularly check for updated informationon new spare parts in the technical bulletins.

5 - Safety

Safety and hygiene are the basic criteria for the main-tenance of equipment and parts.

Information in bold type in the manual indicate the pro-cedures that require special care or indicate tighteningtorque values.

For safety during operations:

- use tools that are most suited to the task (avoid usingas much as possible multi-use tools, such as adjust-

able pliers),- when handling heavy objects, install them correctly

on their supports and adopt the correct working posi-tion,

- maintain hygiene in the mechanical workshop and inthe vicinity during operations,

- wear personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles,safety shoes, masks, protective skin cream, etc.),

- follow the safety instructions for the maintenancework to be performed,

- do not smoke during maintenance operations,

- do not handle dangerous products in a closed area,

- no chemicals must be swallowed or come into contactwith the skin (brake fluid, antifreeze fluid, etc.).

To protect the environment:

- sort waste,

- do not burn waste (tyres, etc.).

6 - ConclusionBodily injury must be limited as much as possible byfollowing the work procedures set out in this manualand by avoiding procedures that might damage the ve-hicle or create dangerous situations.

By following the abovementioned procedures, it will bepossible to ensure that top quality maintenance, topvehicle performance and reliability are all obtained.

Position the dial gauge feeler against the valve head ata 90˚ angle in relation to the valve shaft.

Push the valve head towards the dial gauge.

Calibrate the dial gauge to zero.

Push the valve head towards the side opposite the dialgauge.

Note the value displayed on the dial gauge.

Calculate the actual clearance between the valve andthe valve guide by dividing the value measured on thedial gauge by two.

Or measure:

- the internal diameter ( 1) of the valve guide using a in-ternal micrometer ,

- using a external micrometer the diameter ( X1) of thevalve stem.

Calculate the actual clearance = internal diameter ofthe valve guide ( X1) - the diameter of the valve stem(1) .

The clearance between the valve and the valve guidemust be between:

- 0.02 and 0.05 mm for the inlet valve,

- 0.03 to 0.06 mm for the exhaust valve.

10A2 - Piston check

a - Gudgeon pin check

Check that the pin slides freely in the piston beforechecking it.

Measure using a external micrometer :

- the external diameter ( X1) of the gudgeon pin, whichmust be between 19.989 mm and 20.001 mm ,

- the length ( X2) of the gudgeon pin, which must be be-tween 52.1 and 52.4 mm .

Compare the external diameter value measured withthe category marked on the gudgeon pin.

b - Checking the play between the gudgeon pin andthe piston

Use a internal micrometer to measure the internal di-ameter of the piston.

The internal diameter of the piston must be between

19.993 and 20.005 mm.

Compare the value measured with the categorymarked on the piston.

Calculate the actual play = the internal diameter of thepiston - the outer diameter of the gudgeon pin.

The clearance between the piston and the gudgeon pinmust be between 0.002 and 0.006 mm .

c - Checking play between the gudgeon pin and thesmall end

Use a internal micrometer to measure the internal di-ameter of the small end.

The internal diameter of the small end must be be-tween 20.000 and 20.006 mm .

Calculate the actual play = the internal diameter of thesmall end - the outer diameter of the gudgeon pin.

The clearance between the gudgeon pin and the smallend should be between 0.005 and 0.017 mm .

d - Checking the piston rings

Use an external micrometer to measure the thicknessof the piston rings:

- compression ring ( X5) : 1.17 to 1.19 mm ,

- sealing ring ( X6) : 1.17 to 1.19 mm ,

- scraper ring ( X7) : 1.91 to 1.97 mm .

e - Checking the piston diameter

Use a external micrometer to measure the externaldiameter ( X3) of the piston at ( X4) = 13 mm , whichmust be between 77.966 and 77.980 mm .

10Af - Checking clearances between the piston ringsand grooves

Measure the clearance between the piston groove andthe ring ( 5) using a set of feeler gauges (6) (measureat three points 120˚ apart):

- compression ring - clearance between 0.04 and 0.08mm ,

- sealing ring - clearance between 0.03 and 0.07 mm ,

- scraper ring - clearance between 0.045 and 0.125mm .

If the clearance is not within tolerance, replace the« piston-gudgeon pin » assembly, or the piston rings.

g - Checking play at the ring section

Fit the ring ( 7) to be checked in the cylinder.

Push the piston ring ( 8) to the centre of the cylinder us-ing the piston.

Use a set of feeler gauges (9) to measure the ringend clearance, which must be:

- compression ring - clearance of 0.20 to 0.30 mm ,

- sealing ring - clearance of 0.35 to 0.50 mm ,- scraper ring - clearance of 0.20 to 0.60 mm .

10A2 - Preparation for refitting if replacing thecrankshaft

a

a When replacing the crankshaft or crankshaft bearingshells, always identify the thickness class for eachbearing shell that will be refitted on each crankshaftbearing, to ensure that the journal clearances re-main within the tolerances, before refitting the crank-shaft (see 1 0 A , Engine and cylinder blockassembly , Crankshaft: Check , page 10A-134 ) .

II - CRANKSHAFT REFITTING OPERATION

a Refit the crankshaft position sensor target and thepositioning pin ( 12 ) on the crankshaft.

a Adjust the target position with the positioning pin.

a Torque tighten the bolts of the crankshaft positionsensor target (22 N.m) .

a Remove the positioning pin.

a Centre a new grooved bearing shell on the cylinderblock bearing by aligning the bearing shell groovewith the bearing groove.

a Secure the flush bearing shell at ( 13 ) and push fromthe opposite side to position the bearing shell flushwith the bearing.

a Repeat the previous operations for the other bear-ings.

aAdjust the bearing position on each side of the cylin-der block bearing using a rectified shim and a set offeeler gauges :

- bearing no.1: between 1.65 and 2.05 mm ,

Note:

Any clearances of the crankshaft journal outsidethe tolerances can cause engine damage.
