3. ENGINE COMPARTMENT LAYOUT
Do not work on the engine compartment while the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, muffler
or catalytic converter is hot. Always turn the engine off and allow it to cool before starting the
maintenance.
Regularly check the engine oil level and add Ssangyong genuine engine oil if necessary.
Clean the dipstick with clean cloth so that any foreign materials cannot get into the engine. -

4. CAUTION WHEN SERVICING THE ENGINE
1) Cleaness
Engine has a lot of precisely machined (grinding, polishing, lapping) surfaces. Thus, there should
be great cautions for cleaness when servicing the engine components. Apply the engine oil on
the sliding surfaces when assemblying the components. Every component should be
disassembled and reassembled in accordance with the correct sequences. Before servicing the
engine, the negative cable should be diconnected from the battery. Otherwise, some electric or
electronic components could be damaged.
2) Servicing
Before service work, be sure to disconnect battery negative (-) terminal to prevent damages by
bad wire and short.
To prevent the foreign material from getting into engine cylinder, cover the inlet of air cleaner if
the air cleaner has been removed.
(1) Lifting up the vehicle
Always keep the safety precautions.
To prevent the vehicle from rolling down, put the chocks under the tires (when using a 4-post
lift).
Make sure to support the correct lifting points (when using a 2-post lift) -
-
-
(2) Exhaust system
Wear the safety glove when removing the exhaust pipe.
Make sure that the exhaust pipe is cooled before removing it. -

(3) Cautions before service
Prolonged exposure to the engine oil make cause a skin cancer or an irritation.
Used engine cotains the hazardous material that may cause the skin cancer. Do not allow the
used engine to make contact with your skin.
Make sure to wear the protection gloves and goggle when handling the engine oil. If contact
happens, rinse affected areas immediately with plenty of water. Do not wash it with gasoline or
solvent. If irritation persists, consult a doctor.
Improperly disposed engine oil can pollute the environment. Dispose used engine oil in
accordance with local environmental regulations. -

(5) Tightening the fastener
If fine dust or foreign material enters into DI engine's fuel system, there can be serious
damages between HP pump and injectors. So, be sure to cover removed fuel system
components with cap and protect removed parts not to be contaminated with dirt. (Refer to
cleanness in this manual while working on DI engine fuel system)
When working on the fuel line between priming pump and injector (including return line),
always plug the openings with caps to prevent foreign materials or dust from entering to the
openings and connections.
The HP fuel supply pipe (HP pump to fuel rail) and HP fuel pipe (Fuel rail to injector) should
be replaced with new ones when removed. 1.
2.
3. Scalding hot coolant and steam could be blown out under pressure, which could cause serious
injury. Never remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine and radiator are hot.
(4) Lubrication system
3) Fuel and Oil System
If work on the fluid system such as fuel and oil, working area should be well ventilated and
smoking should be prohibited.
Gasket or seal on the fuel/lubrication system should be replaced with new ones and bolts and
nuts should be tightened as specified. -
-Clean the mating surfaces before tightening.
Place the marks with paint to tighten by angle if the angle wrench is not available. 1.

(2) Cylinder pressure leakage test
If the measured value of the compression pressure test is not within the specifications, perform
the cylinder pressure leakage test.Specified value ▶
Perform this test in the sequence of firing order.
Do not test the cylinder pressure leakage with wet type test procedure. (do not inject the
engine oil into the combustion chamber) -
-
Test condition: normal engine operating
temperature (80˚C)Specified value
Whole engine below 25%
at valve and cylinder head gasket below 10%
at piston ring below 20%
Crank the engine for approx. 10 seconds
by using the start motor. 2.
Record the test result and measure the
compression pressure of other cylinders
with same manner. 3.
If the measured value is out of specified
value, perform the cylinder pressure
leakage test. 4.

4. GUIDELINES ON ENGINE SERVICE
To prevent personal injuries and vehicle damages that can be caused by mistakes during engine
and unit inspection/repair and to secure optimum engine performance and safety after service
works, basic cautions and service work guidelines that can be easily forgotten during engine
service works are described in.
Cautions before service works
For safe and correct works, you must observe the working procedures and instructions in this
manual. And, use the designated tools as follow:
Engine stand / Heavy duty engine jack
To prevent the engine from starting abruptly, do not allow anybody to get in the vehicle while
servicing in engine compartment.
Before work on engine and each electrical equipment, be sure to disconnect battery negative
(-) terminal.
Before service works, be sure to prepare the works by cleaning and aligning work areas.
Do not allow the foreign material get into the fuel injection system.
When removing the engine, use only the safety hook on engine and engine hanger. Do not
support the bottom of oil pan with a jack.
Engine and accessories
Completely drain the engine oil, coolant and fuel from engine before removal.
Before disassembling/assembling the engine components, carefully read the working
procedures in this manual.
Make sure to keep the specified tightening torques during installation.
Clean and properly lubricate the parts before reassembly.
Carefully check that there are not any interference while servicing. ▶
