FAQ

Assess the **critical** torque specification for cylinder head bolts? keyboard_arrow_down

91-113 Nm for 2.25 litre petrol engines is the required torque setting for cylinder head bolts, applied in sequence to prevent head distortion during assembly.

What components are **required** for valve timing clearance? keyboard_arrow_down

0.25 mm (0.010 in) feeler gauge is essential for checking tappet clearances, with adjustments made by turning the tappet adjusting screw clockwise to reduce clearance and anti-clockwise to increase clearance.

Confirm the **specified** main bearing clearance range? keyboard_arrow_down

0.019-0.063 mm (0.0007-0.0025 in) is the correct running clearance for new or overhauled main bearing components, verified using Plastigauge measurement techniques.

What tools are **essential** for safe brake system work? keyboard_arrow_down

Brake fluid meeting FMVSS 116 DOT 3 specification with minimum 260°C (500°F) boiling point is mandatory for all brake system operations to ensure safety.

Identify the **correct** engine oil specification for 2.25 litre Diesel? keyboard_arrow_down

15W-50 Hypergrade Motor Oil or equivalent API service level SE/CD is the specified lubrication requirement for all 2.25 litre Diesel engine operations under temperate conditions.
