DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURE
COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK
Tools Required
09915–64510 Compression Pressure Gauge
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.
3. Disconnect the distributor optical sensor connector.
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.

7. After checking, remove the gauge and install the re-
moved parts.
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
Tools Required
09915–77310 Oil Pressure Gauge
Prior to check oil pressure, check the followings:
Check oil level and add if required.
Replace the discolored, deteriorated or diluted oil.
Check any oil leakage and repair the defective parts.
Check the compression pressure in the following proce-
dures:
1. Remove the oil pressure switch (b) from the cylinder
block.
2. Install the oil pressure gauge 09915–77310 (c) to the
mounting place of the oil pressure switch.

3. Start the engine and warm up to the normal operating
temperature.
4. Raise the engine speed up to 2,000rpm and then
read oil pressure.

5. After checking, wrap the threads of oil pressure
switch with a seal tape and tighten it to the specified
torque 12–16 Nm (106–144 lb-in).
6. Start the engine and check oil pressure switch for oil
leakage.

5. If the ignition timing exceeds the specified value,
loosen the distributor bolts and adjust it to the speci-
fied ignition timing by turning the distributor body (s).

ADJUSTMENT
Check the valve timing in the following procedures:
1. After removing the high headlamp, loosen the bolts
(a) and remove the timing belt front upper cover (b).
D102B312
2. Turning the crankshaft clockwise twice, align the
notch (d) on the crankshaft pulley (c) with the mark 0
(e) for the timing check on the timing belt front lower
cover.
D102B313
3. Check if the notch (f) on the camshaft sprocket is
aligned with the triangle pointer (g) on the timing belt
rear cover.
Important: Notch (f) should be aligned with pointer (g)
to set the valve timing normally.

Adjust the valve timing in the following procedures:
1. Loosen the bolt and remove the timing belt pulley (c).
In loosening the bolt, use the driver (h) in the picture
shown.
D102B315
2. Remove the oil level gauge guide tube (i) and the tim-
ing belt front lower cover (j).
D102B316
3. Remove the timing belt tensioner (k) and the timing
belt (l).
D102B317
4. Using the bolt, turn the crankshaft clockwise to align
the mark (m) on the crankshaft sprocket with the
pointer (n) on the oil pump housing. Then, turn the
camshaft to align the notch (f) with the pointer (g).
D102B318
5. Install the timing belt (l) and the tensioner (k). (Do not
tighten the tensioner bolt completely.)
Turning the crankshaft clockwise twice, align the
mark (m) with the pointer (n) and tighten the tensioner
bolt to 15–23 Nm (11–17 lb-ft).

6. Install all removed parts.

1D – 2 ENGINE COOLING
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The cooling system maintains the engine temperature at
an efficient level during all engine operating conditions.
When the engine is cold the cooling system cools the
engine slowly or not at all. This slow cooling of the en-
gine allows the engine to warm up quickly.
The cooling system includes a radiator(a) and cooling
fan(b), a thermostat and housing(c), a coolant pump(d),
a coolant pump drive belt and coolant hose. The timing
belt drives the coolant pump.
All components must function properly in order for the
cooling system to operate. The coolant pump draws the
coolant from the radiator. The coolant then circulates
through water jackets in the engine block and the cylin-
der head, distributor case(e), throttle body(f). When the
coolant reaches the operating temperature of the ther-
mostat, the thermostat opens. The coolant then goes
back to the radiator where it cools.
This system directs some coolant through the hoses to
the heater core(g). This provides for heating and de-
frosting. The surge tank(h) is connected to the radiator
and throttle body to recover the coolant displaced by ex-
pansion from the high temperatures. The surge tank
maintains the correct coolant level.
The cooling system for this vehicle has no radiator cap
and drain cock. The coolant is added to the cooling sys-tem through the surge tank. To drain the cooling system,
disconnect the lower radiator hose and drain the cool-
ant.
RADIATOR
This vehicle has a lightweight tube-and-fin aluminum ra-
diator.
SURGE TANK
The surge tank is a transparent plastic reservoir, similar
to the windshield washer reservoir.
The surge tank is connected to the radiator and throttle
body by a hose. As the vehicle is driven, the engine cool-
ant heats and expands. The portion of the engine cool-
ant displaced by this expansion flows from the radiator
into the surge tank. The air trapped in the radiator is de-
gassed into the surge tank.
When the engine is stops, the engine coolant cools and
contracts. The displaced engine coolant is then drawn
back into the radiator. This keeps the radiator filled with
the coolant to the desired level at all times and increases
the cooling efficiency.
Maintain the coolant level between the MIN and the
MAX marks on the surge tank when the system is cold.
