GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
GENERAL REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
S If a floor jack is used, the following precautions are
recommended.
S Park the vehicle on level ground, block" the front
or rear wheels, set the jack against the frame, raise
the vehicle and support it with chassis stands and
then perform the service operation.
S Before performing the service operation, disconnect
the negative battery cable in order to reduce the
chance of cable damage and burning due to short–
circuiting.
S Use a cover on the body, the seats and the floor to
protect them against damage and contamination.
S Handle brake fluid and antifreeze solution with care
as they can cause paint damage.
S The use of proper tools, and the recommended es-
sential and available tools where specified, are im-
portant for efficient and reliable performance of the
service repairs.S Use genuine DAEWOO parts.
S Discard used cotter pins, gaskets, O–rings, oil
seals, lock washers and self–locking nuts. Prepare
new ones for installation. Normal function of these
parts cannot be maintained if these parts are re-
used.
S Keep the disassembled parts neatly in groups to
facilitate proper and smooth reassembly.
S Keep attaching bolts and nuts separated, as they
vary in hardness and design depending on the posi-
tion of the installation.
S Clean the parts before inspection or reassembly.
S Also clean the oil parts, etc. Use compressed air to
make certain they are free of restrictions.
S Lubricate rotating and sliding faces of parts with oil
or grease before installation.
S When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to pre-
vent leakage.
S Carefully observe all specifications for bolt and nut
torques.
S When service operation is completed, make a final
check to be sure service was done properly and the
problem was corrected.

OIL LEAK DIAGNOSIS
Most fluid oil leaks are easily located and repaired by visu-
ally finding the leak and replacing or repairing the neces-
sary parts. On some occasions, a fluid leak may be difficult
to locate or repair. The following procedures may help you
in locating and repairing most leaks.
Finding the Leak:
1. Identify the fluid. Determine whether it is engine oil,
automatic transmission fluid, power steering fluid,
etc.
2. Identify where the fluid is leaking from.
1) After running the vehicle at normal operating
temperature, park the vehicle over a large sheet
of paper.
2) Wait a few minutes.
3) Find the approximate location of the leak by the
drippings on the paper.
3. Visually check around the suspected component.
Check around all the gasket mating surfaces for
leaks. A mirror is useful for finding leaks in areas
that are hard to reach.
4. If the leak still cannot be found, it may be neces-
sary to clean the suspected area with a degreaser,
steam, or spray solvent.
1) Thoroughly clean the area.2) Dry the area.
3) Operate the vehicle for several miles at normal
operating temperature and varying speeds.
4) After operating the vehicle, visually check the
suspected component.
5) If you still cannot locate the leak, try using the
powder or black light and dye method.
Powder Method:
1. Clean the suspected area.
2. Apply an aerosol–type powder, (such as foot pow-
der), to the suspected area.
3. Operate the vehicle under normal operating condi-
tions.
4. Visually inspect the suspected component. Trace
the leak path over the white powder surface to the
source.
Black Light and Dye Method:
A dye and light kit is available for finding leaks. Refer to the
manufacturer ’s directions when using the kit.
1. Pour the specified amount of dye into the engine oil
fill tube.
2. Operate the vehicle under normal operating condi-
tions as directed in the kit.
3. Direct the light toward the suspected area. The
dyed fluid will appear as a yellow path leading to
the source.

Repairing the Leak
Once the origin of the leak has been pinpointed and traced
back to its source, the cause of the leak must be deter-
mined in order for it to be repaired properly. If a gasket is
replaced, but the sealing flange is bent, the new gasket will
not repair the leak. The bent flange must be repaired also.
Before attempting to repair a leak, check for the following
conditions and correct them as they may cause a leak.
Gaskets:
S The fluid level/pressure is too high.
S The crankcase ventilation system is malfunctioning.
S The fasteners are improperly tightened or the
threads are dirty or damaged.
S The flanges or the sealing surface is warped.S There are scratches, burrs or other damage to the
sealing surface.
S The gasket is damaged or worn.
S There is cracking or porosity of the component.
S An improper seal was used, (where applicable).
Seals:
S The fluid level/pressure is too high.
S The crankcase ventilation system is malfunctioning.
S The seal bore is damaged, scratched, burred or
nicked.
S The seal is damaged or worn.
S Improper installation is evident.
S There are cracks in the component.
S The shaft surface is scratched, nicked or damaged.
S A loose or worn bearing is causing excess seal
wear.
KNOCK DIAGNOSIS
Definition for Knock
Engine knock refers to various types of engine noise.
Heavy knock is usually very loud and the result of broken
or excessively worn internal engine components. Lightknock is a noticeable noise, but not as loud. Light knock
can be caused by worn internal engine components.
Loose or broken external engine components can also
cause heavy or light knock.

pears in about 1.5 minutes, is considered acceptable.

mm (0.0010~
0.0018 in.)Go to Step 9System OK
9Replace the worn parts of the front main bearing.
Is the repair complete?–Go to Step 1–
* When the engine is stopped, some valves will be open. Spring pressure against the lifters will tend to bleed lifter down.
Attempts to repair this should be made only if the problem is consistent.
An engine that is only operated for short periods between start–ups may have lifter noise that lasts for a few minutes. This
is a normal condition.
