Check the compression pressure in the following proce-
dures:
1. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tempera-
ture (Cooling temperature : 80–90C (176–194F)).
2. Stop the engine and then remove the high tension
cable and the spark plug.

4. Install the compression pressure gauge 09915–64510
(a) in the hole of spark plug.
D12B301A
5. Disengage the clutch in Neutral (to lighten starting
load on engine upon cranking), and depress the ac-
celerator all the way to make the throttle fully open.
6. Crank the engine with the starting motor, and read the
highest pressure on the compression pressure gauge.
The difference of measured value between cylinders
is 98.06kPa (14.22 psi) and less.
On checking, make the connection perfectly airtight
between the hole of spark plug and compression pres-
sure gauge.

ADJUSTMENT OF VALVE
CLEARANCE
Adjust the valve clearance in the following procedures:
1. Remove the air filter/resonator assembly and the
relevant parts installed on the cylinder head cover.
2. Remove the cylinder head cover hexagon bolts and
remove the cover.
3. Turn over the crankshaft to make No.1 cylinder
matched with the compression top dead center.
(When the camshaft sprocket notch (d) is aligned with
the timing belt rear cover triangle pointer (e) and the
crankshaft sprocket point (f) is aligned with the oil
pump housing point (g), the compression top dead
center is on the ignition sequence for No. 1 cylinder.)

The measured value of valve clearance should meet the
specified value. If not, adjust the valve clearance.
Important: In case of hot engine, warm up the engine
until the electric cooling fan begins to work and stop the
engine to adjust the clearance with 20–30 minutes there
from.

ENGINE COOLING 1D–7
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURE
COOLANT LEAKS TEST
1. Remove the surge tank cap after the engine cools.
2. Check the coolant level.
3. Install a suitable cooling system pressure tester(b) to
the surge tank filler neck using the adapter(a) and
pressurize (110–120 kPa (16.0–17.4 psi)).
4. Check the coolant leaks on the hoses and connec-
tions during 2 minutes.
5. If the leak is checked, replace the parts or repair the
connections.
D102D301
SURGE TANK CAP TEST
The surge tank cap(c) is equipped with the pressure
valve(d) and the vacuum valve(e). Therefore, the surge
tank cap maintains proper pressure. And The surge tank
cap protects the system from high-pressure by opening
a pressure valve, and protects the coolant hoses from
collapsing because of a vacuum.
1. Wash any sludge from the surge tank cap and the
valve seat of the vacuum pressure valve for the surge
tank cap.
2. Check for any damage or deformity to the vacuum
pressure valve for the surge tank cap. If any damage
or deformity is found, replace the cap.
3. Install a suitable cooling system pressure tester(b) to
the cap using the Adapter(a).
4. Pull the vacuum pressure valve to the open position.
If the surge tank cap does not seal properly, replace
the surge tank cap.
5. Pressurize the cap to 90 to 120kPa (13 to 17psi).
6. Wait 10 seconds and check the pressure held by the
tank cap tester.
7. If the pressure held by the cooling system pressure
tester falls below 80kPa (11.6psi) replace the surge
tank cap.
D102D302
THERMOSTAT TEST
1. Remove the thermostat(f) from the vehicle. Refer
to“Thermostat” in this section.
2. Make sure the valve spring is tight when the thermo-
stat is fully closed. If the spring is not tight, replace the
thermostat.
3. Suspend the thermostat and a thermometer in a pan
of 50/50mixture of ethylene glycol and water. Do not
let the thermostat or the thermometer rest on the bot-
tom of the pan because the uneven concentration of
heat on the bottom could result in inaccurate temper-
ature measurements.
4. Heat the pan on a burner.
5. Use the thermometer to measure the temperature of
the heated solution.
6. The thermostat should begin to open at 82°C (180°F)
and it should be fully open at 95°C (203.4°F) and it
should be fully close at 80°C (176.4°F). If it does not
open or close at these temperature, replace the ther-
mostat. Also, the thermostat rod’s stroke from the ini-
tially open to the fully open should be 8mm (0.31 in.).

Add the clean water to the surge tank (2).
5. Run the engine until the thermostat opens. You can
tell the thermostat is open when both radiator hoses
are hot to the touch.
6. Stop the engine and disconnect the lower radiator
hose to drain the coolant.
7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 until the drained water is
clear and free of coolant and rust.
Notice: Never use an antifreeze mixture more concen-
trated than 60 percent antifreeze to 40 percent water.
The solution freezing point increases above this con-
centration.
8. Fill the cooling system through the surge tank with a
mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and water. The
mixture must be at least 50 percent antifreeze, but
not more than 60 percent antifreeze for cold weather
operation.
9. Fill the surge tank to the specified MAX fill mark on
the outside of the tank.
10. Install the surge tank cap.

SURGE TANK
Removal Procedure
Caution: To prevent personal injury, do not remove
the surge tank cap while the engine and the radiator
are hot, because the heat causes the system to re-
main under pressure scalding fluid and steam may
be blown out under pressure.
1. Drain the engine coolant to below the level of the
surge tank.
2. Remove the surge tank.
Loosen the overflow hose clamps and disconnect
the overflow hoses from the surge tank (1).
Remove the surge tank (2).
3. Clean the inside and the outside of the surge tank and
the surge tank cap with soap and water.
4. Rinse the surge tank and the cap thoroughly.
5. Check the surge tank and the cap for crack or other
damage.
