 BOLT GUIDELINE FOR REUES & TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
                      Engine Bolt Reuse Guidelines & Torque Specifications For 
                                       1996-2003 Hyundai Engines

The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information regarding engine bolt reuse guidelines & torque specifications for 1996-2003 Hyundai engines. This bulletin applies to the cylinder head, connecting rod and main bearing bolts that use the torque angle method for tightening.

It has been determined fasteners that are tightened by the conventional torque only method can have substantial clamping force variation. These variations come from several factors such as fastener friction and hand tightening versus power driver tightening methods. Fasteners that are tightened by a low initial torque value plus tightened and additional angular value are known as ?torque-angle bolts" (or sometimes torque-to-yield bolts). These types of bolts or fasteners can achieve very high clamp loads with very small variation.

 INTERFERENCE ENGINES
                                          Interference Engines

The AERA Technical Committee would like to offer the following information on engines that present the possibility of interference between pistons and valves. The interference or contact may bend valve(s) when the timing between the camshaft and crankshaft is interrupted. This is generally the result of a timing belt or chain breaking or slipping.

The following list are engines that AERA is currently aware of that have exhibited interference. There may be other engines that are not listed below that have the possibility of piston to valve contact. If the engine you are working on is not listed, do not assume that it is a freewheeling design. It is suggested to add to this listing as additional information is obtained.

 HEADBOLT TIGHTING SEQUENCE FOR 2001 HYUNDAI 2.0L ENGINES
                                           Head Bolt Tightening Sequence For
                                                   2001 Hyundai 2.0L Engines

The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information regarding the correct cylinder head tightening sequence for 2001 Hyundai 2.0L DOHC engines. Previously published information inadvertently showed the head bolt removal sequence.
 
To install the head on this engine refer to the following steps and also note Hyundai does not recommend reusing any head bolt more than once. 

·Clean all gasket surfaces of the cylinder block and cylinder head and blow-dry with compressed air.
·Install a new cylinder head gasket; do not use any type of sealer or lubricant.
·Place the head onto engine and install all head bolts and tighten finger tight.
·Tighten all M10 bolts = 22 ft/lbs (30 Nm) and all M12 bolts to 26 ft/lbs (35 Nm) in sequence.
·Rotate all bolts in sequence 60°.
·Rotate all bolts again in sequence an additional 60° turn.

 REVISED LASH ADJUSTMENT FOR 2001-03 HYUNDAI 2.0L ENGINES
                                             Revised Valve Lash Adjustment For
                                      2001-2003 Hyundai 2.0L G4GF, VIN F Engines

The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information regarding a revised valve lash adjustment on 2001-2003 Hyundai 2.0L G4GF VIN F engines.  Previous to 2001, these engines used a non-adjustable hydraulic lash compensator within the valve train. The current, revised, cam follower (non-hydraulic adjuster) requires an adjustment inspection every 60,000 miles or 48 months. The 2004 manuals have this updated information.

Valve lash adjustment should be made with a cold engine at 59°F-77° F.  The cold valve lash for intake valves is .007-.009 (.178-.287 mm), while exhaust valve is .010-.012 (.254-.305 mm). If the correct valve lash cannot be set with the original hardened shims as shown in Figure 1, obtain a different thickness shim until the correct lash is present.  

During disassembly of the camshafts and lash adjusters, mark their location for proper installation during re-assembly. During cylinder head repairs, such as grinding of the valves and seats, proper stem heights should be maintained. The valve stem height measurements for both intake and exhaust valves is 1.9200-1.9500 (48.768-49.53 MM).

 NEW CYLINDER LINER O-RINGS
                                      New Cylinder Liner O-Ring Seals On
                                      Cummins NH/NT 6 Cylinder Engines

Cummins Engine Company has released new O-ring seals for the cylinder liners in NH/NT 6 cylinder engines.  The new seals are made of an EP material and have a smaller diameter cross-section.

The new seal replaces both the old center seal #3008998 and the old lower seal #183049.  The new seal carries Cummins part #3032874 and is black in color with one blue dot.

The new O-ring seals are not to be intermixed with the former seals on the same liner.  Cylinder liner deformation will result.  You can use the former seals and new seals in the same engine as long as they are used in the correct combinations on each liner.  The illustration below shows the correct combinations.

                                                                       The AERA Technical Committee
 OIL IN COOLANT
                                               Oil in Cooling System on
                                         VW 1.5L & 1.6L Diesel Engines

AERA members have reported instances of engine oil in the cooling system on VW 1.5L diesel engines.  According to AERA sources, the problem is related to a crack in the cylinder head bolt hole located near the oil gallery feeding the cylinder head.

The oil feed gallery in the block is located on one side of the center head bolt hole and a coolant jacket is on the opposite side of the bolt hole.  Pressurized engine oil is diverted through a slot in the head gasket and is feed up the side of the head bolt to the cylinder head.  The oil also follows the bolt back down to the bottom of the bolt hole.  Should the crack in the head bolt hole extend to the coolant jacket, oil can mix with engine coolant.

This problem is generally found on engines equipped with 11mm head bolt holes.  Later design engines utilize 12mm head bolts and do not exhibit this defect.  At the time of this writing no successful repair procedure is available.

                                                                       The AERA Technical Committee
 CYLINDER HEAD SPECS
                                        Cylinder Head Specifications on
                                              Case 207 Diesel Engines

The following cylinder head specifications should be considered when remanufacturing Case Model 207 diesel engine cylinder heads.

The minimum cylinder head thickness has been established at 3.968 with a new head measuring 4.000 +/- .005.  Heads are measured from the deck surface to the rocker cover rail.

Valve recession should be checked and adjusted if necessary to a maximum recession of .015, below the deck surface, for both intake and exhaust valves.  Valves on new cylinder heads are generally flush with a +/- .005 tolerance.

                                                                       The AERA Technical Committee
