Trouble Diagnosis of Turbocharger=NJEM0104S0206Preliminary check:
+Check that the engine oil level is between MIN and MAX of the
dipstick. (When the engine oil amount is more than MAX, the
oil flows into the inlet duct through the blow-by gas passage,
and the turbocharger is misjudged failure.)
+Ask the customer if he/she always runs the vehicle in idle
engine speed to cool the oil down after driving.
+Replace the turbocharger assembly when any malfunction is
found after unit inspections specified in the table below.
+If no malfunction is found after the unit inspections, judge that
the turbocharger body has no failure. Check the other parts
again.

InspectionNJEM0065CYLINDER HEAD DISTORTIONNJEM0065S01Clean surface of cylinder head.
Use a reliable straightedge and feeler gauge to check the flatness
of cylinder head surface.
Check along six positions shown in the figure.
Head surface flatness: Limit 0.04 mm (0.0016 in)
If beyond the specified limit, resurface or replace it.
The limit for cylinder head resurfacing is determined by the
cylinder block resurfacing.
Resurfacing limit:
Amount of cylinder head resurfacing is ªAº.
Amount of cylinder block resurfacing is ªBº.
The maximum limit: A+ B = 0.07 mm (0.0028 in)
After resurfacing cylinder head, check that camshaft rotates freely
by hand. If resistance is felt, cylinder head must be replaced.
Nominal cylinder head height:
153.9 - 154.1 mm (6.059 - 6.067 in)

3. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 120ÉC (230 to 248ÉF) by soaking
in heated oil.
4. Sufficiently cool valve seat with dry ice. Force fit valve seat into
cylinder head.
WARNING:
Do not touch cold valve seat with your bare hands.
5. Cut or grind valve seat using suitable tool to the specified
dimensions as shown in SDS (EM-163).
CAUTION:
Use the valve seat cutter properly. Securely gripping the cut-
ter handle with both hands, press the cutter down onto the
entire circumference of the contacting surface and finish cut-
ting at one time. Improper pressing of the cutter or cutting in
several steps may result in staged surface on the valve seat.
6. After cutting, lap valve seat with abrasive compound.
7. Check valve seating condition. Refer to EM-125, ªValve Seatsº.
JEM253G
8. Use a depth gauge to measure the distance between the
mounting surface of the cylinder head spring seat and the
valve stem end. If the distance is shorter than specified, repeat
step 5 above to adjust it. If it is longer, replace the valve seat
with a new one.
