  1. Chapter 13 Engine Sealing and Reassembly

  2. Torque Principles • All metals are elastic • Bolts can stretch and compress • Stretch applies clamping force • Too much stretch destroys the bolt • Bolts torqued to yield never return to normal

  3. Torque Principles (Cont.) • Most torque values are for dry fasteners • Lubricants increase applied torque • Visually inspect the bolts • Use lubricants or sealers as specified • Tighten in the correct sequence • Ensure proper fastener is used

  4. Tightening Sequence Examples

  5. Bolt Installation Tips • Threads must be clean and undamaged • Use liquid sealant or engine oil on threads • Install bolts in their proper holes • Run a nut over the bolt’s threads by hand • Clean bolt and cylinder block threads with a thread chaser or tap • Tighten bolts to the proper torque specification

  6. Thread Cleaning

  7. Thread Repair • Overtorquing or incorrect threading will strip threads • May be repaired using thread insert or Helicoil

  8. Torque-To-Yield Bolts • TTY fasteners are designed to stretch when properly tightened • Once at yield point the bolt is permanently stretched • Commonly used as cylinder head bolts • Torqued in steps

  9. TTY Bolts (Cont.)

  10. Knowledge Check • Why is proper tightening of bolts necessary when installing engine components?

  11. Gaskets • Used to provide a positive seal between parts bolted together • Also act as spacers, wear insulators, and vibration dampers • Gaskets are used on stationary parts • Seals are used with moving parts

  12. Gasket Classifications • Cut or Soft Gaskets • Made of cork, rubber, or paper • Silicone Gasket Material • Three different types • Hard Gaskets • Made of steel, copper, or a composite of metal and fiber • Sealants • Usually in liquid form

  13. Cut Gaskets • Paper/Fiber Gaskets – low temperature/low pressure • Cork Gaskets – not commonly used today

  14. Other Gaskets • Molded Rubber Gaskets – retain flexibility and are durable • May have steel insert around bolt holes • Do not use sealants or adhesives • Hard Gaskets – made from steel and other materials • Used as cylinder head and exhaust manifold gaskets

  15. Replacement Gaskets • Available individually or as sets • A full set contains all gaskets necessary for rebuilding an engine • Some components are assembled using form in place gaskets • Check TSBs for updated gaskets

  16. General Gasket Installation • Never reuse old gaskets • Handle new gaskets carefully • Ensure clean mating surfaces

  17. General Gasket Installation • Use the right gasket in the right position • Only use sealants when specified • Make sure all threads are clean and undamaged

  18. Specific Engine Gaskets • Head Gaskets • Seals combustion, coolant, and oil • Exposed to very low temperatures to combustion temps of 2000 – 4000 °F • Seals vacuum and combustion pressures (1000 psi peak pressures) • Allows for movement between head and block • Most late model engines use MLS gaskets

  19. MLS Gasket

  20. Common Head Gasket Failure • Preignition/Detonation • Incorrect timing or mixture, vacuum leak, faulty cooling system • Engine Overheating • Improper Installation • Wrong head or block surface finish, incorrect bolt tightening, stretched bolts, improper sealant use, incorrect gasket

  21. Specific Engine Gaskets (Cont.) • Manifold Gaskets • Intake, exhaust, or combination • Valve Cover Gaskets • Must seal between different metals or materials • Oil Pan Gaskets • Seal between the block and pan • EGR Valve • Gasket may be used to regulate exhaust flow

  22. Adhesives • Used only to hold a gasket in place • Do not assembly until adhesive is dry

  23. Types of Sealants • Aerobic Sealants • Cure only when exposed to oxygen (air) • Are commonly used to form gaskets • Anaerobic Sealants • Cure only in the absence of oxygen (air) • Are used for thread sealant

  24. Types of Sealants (Cont.) • General Purpose Sealants • Available in liquid, brush on, or aerosol types • Ensure sealant is O2 sensor safe • Never use a hard drying sealant on gaskets • Thread Sealants • Used on bolts passing through a liquid passage

  25. Types of Sealants (Cont.) • Silicone Sealants • Formed-in-place gasket • Applied to mating surfaces • Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) most common • Too much RTV can be squeezed out and into oil system

  26. Applying RTV

  27. Antiseize Compounds • Prevents dissimilar metals from reacting with each other and seizing • Commonly used on aluminum parts • Always follow manufacturer recommendations when using

  28. Knowledge Check • Technician A says gaskets are used between moving parts of the engine. Technician B says liquid RTV gasket maker can be used in place of any engine gasket. Who is correct?

  29. Engine Gaskets and Seals

  30. Oil Seals • Used with rotating parts • Three basic types • Fiber-packing • Two-piece lip • One-piece radial

  31. Oil Seals (Cont.)

  32. Two-Piece Lip Seal

  33. Engine Reassembly • Clean and lubricate head bolts • Match head gasket to block • Place head on block and alignment dowels • Torque head bolts in sequence • Lube pushrods and rocker arms

  34. Timing Belts and Chains • Cam and crank alignment is critical • Follow timing procedures exactly • Ensure the tensioners apply properly

  35. Methods of ValveLash Adjustment • Rocker arms with adjustable pivots • Adjustable push rods • Rocker arms with adjustable screws • Adjustable cam followers • Selective shims

  36. Final Assembly Steps • Install various covers, pulleys, and sensors • Ensure coolant drain plugs are installed • Coat sensor O-rings with oil before installing • Install vibration damper onto crankshaft • Make sure manifold mating surfaces are clean and install manifolds

  37. Final Assembly Steps (Cont.) • Install the thermostat and housing • Install the flexplate and torque converter or the flywheel and clutch components • Inspect and loosely install motor mounts • Install all other related components as necessary

  38. Knowledge Check • What are two methods of adjusting valve lash?

  39. Engine Installation Tips • Always refer to the manufacturer’s service information • Prime the oil pump prior to starting the engine • Follow the manufacturer’s computer relearn procedures if applicable

  40. Starting Procedure • Set ignition timing as closely as possible • Fill fuel tank with several gallons of fresh fuel • Start engine and run at 1500 RPM • Run until engine reaches normal operating temperature then shut off • Recheck all adjustments

  41. Break-In Procedure • Test drive at 30 MPH and accelerate to 50 MPH at full throttle • Repeat at least 10 times • Apply loads to engine for short periods • This helps assure the rings seat

  42. Relearn Procedures • The computer will need to learn the engine condition and make adjustments • Idle and transmission shift schedules will relearn • Reset any memory functions such as the clock and radio presets
