The factory service manual documents valve timing specifications for both inlet and exhaust camshafts across the 910-series turbocharged inline-four and 918-series twin-turbocharged V8 powerplants. Clearance parameters appear in tabular format within Section 40.00, referencing measurement protocols for both cold and operating temperature conditions. The GM Delco engine management calibration data correlates with specific VIN ranges, distinguishing pre-1998 and post-1998 control strategies.
Section 40.00 provides exploded-view diagrams showing piston-to-liner dimensional relationships for both 2.2-litre (910 engine code) and 3.5-litre (918 engine code) configurations. The documentation includes bearing shell identification by colour-coding and thickness grade, with corresponding crankshaft journal diameter specifications presented in dedicated reference tables. Cylinder head gasket torque sequences appear as numbered diagrams rather than procedural text, preserving OEM assembly methodology without instructional narrative.
The twin-turbocharged induction system receives comprehensive coverage in Section 41.00, documenting Garrett T3/T4 turbocharger mounting arrangements, wastegate actuation mechanisms, and intercooler plumbing configurations. The manual catalogs boost pressure relief valve specifications, fuel injector flow rates by engine variant, and fuel pressure regulator settings across the model range. Detailed parts explosions show throttle body linkage geometry for both cable-actuated and later electronic throttle configurations.
Engine rebuild procedures are referenced through torque specification tables and assembly sequence diagrams spanning pages 1247-1389. The documentation covers crankshaft endplay measurement points, piston ring gap positioning, and camshaft bearing cap identification schemes. Oil pump clearance specifications appear alongside gallery pressure test procedures, with relief valve spring rates tabulated by engine code and model year.
Brake system configurations evolve across VIN R1443, transitioning from Bendix/Delco Moraine four-channel ABS to Brembo four-piston fixed caliper arrangements. Section 34.00 documents master cylinder bore dimensions, servo boost ratios, and hydraulic circuit splitting between front and rear axles. The manual includes pedal ratio specifications, brake disc thickness limits, and pad friction material codes cross-referenced to specific model applications.
Drivetrain specifications in Section 26.00 detail the Renault UN1-026 transaxle assembly, documenting gear ratios, differential preload settings, and driveshaft CV joint angular limits. The clutch release mechanism receives dedicated coverage showing hydraulic actuation geometry, slave cylinder bore dimensions, and friction disc facing specifications by engine torque rating.
