Asalamualaikum, students. In
0:14
this lesson on light vehicle engine maintenance, our main topic
0:17
is tuning up a conventional gasoline engine
0:22
standardize all components and
0:24
systems on a vehicle to their original state.
0:30
The purpose of tune-up activities includes
0:32
restoring the car's performance
0:34
to like new and preventing
0:36
various damage to the car. The
0:39
work on a conventional gasoline engine tune-up
0:41
includes checking the
0:43
cooling system, checking the engine lubricating oil
0:46
, checking the air filter,
0:49
checking the battery, checking the valves,
0:53
checking the ignition system and
0:55
adjusting the idle speed. The
1:02
tune up process begins with
1:04
tool preparation. The tools used are a
1:34
pull scale, spark plug wrench,
1:39
filler gauge, hydrometer
1:51
next step is to install the
1:53
protector on the vehicle.
2:12
then install the vehicle protection. The
2:19
purpose of installing vehicle protection is
2:21
to prevent the paint on the vehicle from being scratched
2:23
and the vehicle from getting dirty.
3:04
The next step is to check the
3:09
Don't forget to use the manual.
3:18
First, check the coolant level
3:20
in the reservoir. Make sure the water level
3:22
is between the two lines.
3:25
Next, remove the radiator cap and
3:28
check the radiator water for possible
3:42
Also check the pressure valve
3:49
and vacuum valve on the radiator cap.
3:54
Next check the cooling system for leaks
3:56
. Select the radiator cap adapter,
3:58
then install it properly on the
4:07
Next, take the radiator pump tester
4:11
and attach it to the radiator cap adapter
4:15
Pump the radiator until the needle
4:18
points to 0.9 to 1 bar.
4:22
Wait a moment. If the needle
4:24
moves down, it means there is a
4:26
leak in the cooling system.
4:30
Once the leak is repaired, remove the
4:32
radiator tester pump by pressing the
4:34
air release button and pulling the
5:05
Next, check the condition of the fan belt
5:07
and the fan belt deflection.
5:14
Pull the fan belt with a load of 10 kg and
5:17
see the shift or deflection.
5:19
Standard fan belt deflection ranges
5:26
Next is the lubricating oil check.
5:30
Pull out the dipstick and clean the tip
5:38
Reinsert the dipstick and then lift
5:48
Check the oil level. The oil level should
5:50
be above L and below F.
5:54
Also check the oil quality by looking at
5:56
its color. If it is pitch black,
5:58
it means the oil is bad and if it is
6:01
white, it means it is mixed with
6:05
Also check the oil for iron filings or
6:14
Next check the air filter.
6:18
Remove the filter cover.
6:26
Then lift the filter.
6:29
If the filter is dirty, clean it by
6:31
blowing it with water from the inside. The
6:37
next step is to check
6:41
Remove the battery for easier
6:45
Prioritize the negative terminal when removing
6:47
the battery to prevent a
6:49
short circuit between the key and the
6:54
Once the battery is removed, check the
6:56
battery body for any cracks or
7:00
Also make sure the terminal is
7:06
Next, check the battery electrolyte water level
7:08
. The water should be between the
7:11
upper and lower lines. Also check the density of the
7:16
Remove the battery ventilation cover.
7:20
Then insert the hydrometer. Press
7:22
the hydrometer to measure the density of
7:27
The density of standard battery water is 1260
7:35
If it is less than the standard, it means the battery
7:37
needs to have its voltage increased. And if it
7:39
exceeds the standard, it means that the battery water needs to
7:41
be added with distilled water.
7:53
Next, measure the battery voltage
8:07
Make sure the needle points to zero.
8:10
If it is not yet zero, turn the adjusting screw
8:12
until the needle shows zero.
8:15
Turn the selector towards DC 50 volts. Then
8:18
measure the battery voltage.
8:22
Standard battery voltage is between
8:30
Next, check or adjust the
8:35
after the battery is installed. Remove the
8:59
Next, remove the cylinder head
9:01
cover bolts, engine ventilation hose, and
9:03
throttle cable lock nut.
9:46
Also remove the cylinder head cover bolt seal
10:04
Lift the cylinder head and put it in a
10:10
Take a 19 key to turn the
10:16
Turn the crank pulley while looking at
10:18
the rotor on the distributor.
10:26
Point the rotor at spark plug number two to
10:28
find the top of cylinder number one.
10:37
Also make sure the mark on the crank pullor
10:47
At the top position of cylinder 1, the valves that
10:49
can be checked or dipped are the exhaust valve of
10:52
cylinder 1, the intake valve of cylinder 1, the
10:55
intake valve of cylinder 2, and the exhaust valve of cylinder 3.
11:00
Use a filler gauge measuring 0.30 to
11:03
check the clearance of the exhaust valve and 0.20
11:06
for the intake valve.
11:09
If the gap is not according to
11:11
specifications, make adjustments.
11:13
Loosen the lock nut and turn the
11:15
adjusting bolt until you feel a touch on the
11:17
end of the rocker arm. Then tighten the
11:24
Check the gap again. Make sure
11:26
the filler is not movable
11:32
Do the same thing on the intake valve of
11:34
cylinder 2 and the exhaust valve of cylinder 3.
11:49
Next, turn the crankshaft and
11:51
position the rotor facing opposite the
11:53
spark plug of cylinder 2. The
13:28
next step is measuring the
13:30
compression pressure. Remove all spark plugs on
13:46
Prepare the compression tester.
14:04
Install the distributor cap to
14:06
prevent sparks from jumping on the
14:10
Press the compression pressure gauge.
14:13
Ask a friend for help to mainstart the
14:18
Press the accelerator pedal fully
14:20
and start the engine for a few moments.
14:24
Read the compression measurement results.
14:27
Do this on all cylinders. Make sure
14:29
that the compression pressure is at
14:32
135 psi to 180 psi. And the difference
14:37
between cylinders is less than 15 psi.
14:47
Next is the ignition system check
14:51
Measure the spark plug electrode gap. Make sure
14:53
the gap is between 0.7 to 1 mm.
14:56
Also make sure the color is
15:00
Also check the condition of the distributor cap.
15:13
Also check the resistance of the high voltage cable
15:19
Don't forget to calibrate the measuring instrument.
15:27
Measure all high voltage cables
15:32
and ensure the resistance is less than 25
15:35
kilos. Next check the platinum gap.
15:39
Rotate the crankshaft until the
15:41
platinum bearing is at the end of the
15:43
distributor shaft side.
15:49
Measure the platinum gap using a filler
15:51
gauge. The standard platinum gap is 0.40
15:55
mm. If necessary, make adjustments.
15:58
Loosen the platinum mounting bolts, then
16:20
Once you feel the gap is right,
16:22
tighten the platinum mounting bolts again.
16:27
Reinstall the rotor and
16:50
Also install the spark plug cables according to the
17:13
Reinstall the air filter holder.
17:21
Don't forget to tighten the fastening bolts.
17:39
Reinstall the filter and
18:05
Next is the measurement of the duel angle
18:07
to ensure that the platinum gap adjustment
18:09
is correct. Direct the
18:12
tune up tester selector to the duel measurement position
18:19
Attach the negative prop to the vehicle ground
18:21
and the positive prop to the platinum bolt on the
18:26
Start the engine and see the measurement results
18:33
For a 4 cylinder engine the duel angle should
18:36
be between 52 and 56 degrees.
18:50
Next is the ignition timing measurement
18:55
Attach the positive terminal to the positive
18:57
battery and the negative terminal to the negative
19:01
Attach the prop timing light to the number 1 spark plug wire.
19:03
Make sure the arrow points
19:06
towards the spark plug. Turn the octane selector to the
19:12
Remove and close the distributor diaphragm vacuum hose
19:14
and start the engine,
19:24
point the timing light at the crankshaft
19:26
and see the number that aligns with the
19:28
mark on the crankshaft. Make sure the
19:31
ignition timing is at 3
19:33
to 7 degrees before TDC.
21:29
Ar again the air adjustment screw to the left and
21:31
look for the highest RPM.
21:45
After that, set the engine RPM to
21:47
around 700 to 800 RPM.
22:04
After all the work is done, tidy up
22:07
and clean all the tools.
22:25
Don't forget to zero all
22:27
measuring instruments.
