A common problem for car owners in which engines with a timing belt drive are installed is that when the belt breaks timing Valves bend on these machines. Why this happens, which cars have such problems and how to avoid internal combustion engine repairs.

Why does the valve bend when the timing belt breaks

You are driving your wonderful car, and suddenly there is a knock and the car stops. This is how the belt breaks. Everything would be fine if the belt just broke, but on some engines the valves immediately bend. Why is this happening?

The fact is that when the timing belt breaks, the camshaft stops, which drives the valve, and the engine crankshaft continues to rotate and push the pistons. The valves that are about to close remain in the lowered position and the rising pistons meet them.

How valves bend:

1. The timing chain or belt has broken.
2. The camshaft has stopped rotating.
3. The crankshaft continues to rotate and push the pistons.
4. Valves that are lowered and pistons that are raised meet at top dead center (TDC).
5. Pistons are stronger than valves, so pistons bend valves.

That is, if the timing is torn, the camshaft stops abruptly, and the engine crankshaft (even if it was immediately turned off) continues to rotate. The camshaft stops instantly and has no residual rotation because the return springs brake its cams. While the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine is rotating, the pistons will hit the open valves. Although the material of the pistons is stronger and stronger, it happens that the pistons themselves break from meeting with the valves.

Which engines bend valves

Here is a list of cars of different brands and models in the table. Engines on the same machines can be different, so each brand will have its own table, in which there is a column indicating "bend" and a column indicating "do not bend". So let's go, let's start with the most popular cars in Russia:

Why does the timing belt break?

As the practice of breakdowns shows, belts do not break just because they are worn out or are of poor quality. There are several more reasons:

• belt wear (especially if there is even a slight misalignment and the belt touches the side of the pulley);
• if the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine is jammed;
• if the pump is stalled (the pump that drives the coolant);
• if the belt tension roller is jammed.

The new generation of motors often break down. This is due to the fact that they are being made more and more powerful. The distance between valves and pistons at top dead center is getting smaller and smaller. Therefore, even if the valves are slightly ajar and they did not have time to close by the arrival of the pistons, then their instantaneous bending occurs.

How to find out if the valve is bent on a particular make and model of car?

This is actually a good question, and one that all drivers need to know the answer to. Be prepared, in the event that the timing belt or timing chain is broken, for repairs to replace valves, adjust them, and so on, or, knowing that it does not bend, do not worry once again, but carry a spare timing belt with you (if Belting).

If the owner's manual for a certain make and model says it won't bend and you don't trust it, or it doesn't say that at all, then there's a practical way to figure out if the valves will bend on that machine.

In order to find out, you will need:

1. dismantle the casing;
2. remove the timing belt;
3. set the first piston to TDC;
4. slowly turn the camshaft 720 degrees (that's two full turns). If the valve does not rest against the piston, then it does not reach it.
5. set the second piston to TDC;
6. also, turn the camshaft 2 full turns. If the piston does not hit the valve, then everything is fine.

• find out if the valves in the engine of your car will bend according to the table, according to the manual or with your own hands;
• carry a spare timing belt with you;
• buy a good quality belt (preferably the same brand all the time);
• periodically check the tension of the belt and conduct a visual inspection for cuts, scuffs, detachment of the ropes;
• when buying a used car from a stranger, it is recommended to change the timing, even if the former owner said that he had recently replaced it;

Engine repairs are one of the most expensive car repairs. Therefore, many Lifanovodov are concerned about the question of whether the valve bends when they meet the pistons.

Torn timing belt, but what will happen to the pistons?

On 4E-FE. The Chinese made it cheaper, and under license they put it on their car.

On the Toyota 4E-FE engine, the valves do not bend. on the 1.6 engine, the valve does not bend, you can say “on yourself” when checked.

Does the valve bend on a 1.8 liter engine?

At 1.8 - how lucky. Someone was lucky and the valve did not bend, but someone got into a serious repair.

Precautionary measures

Therefore, it is not necessary to count on chance. , and even better to change the belt along with the pump and rollers. Carry out a visual check every 25 t.km.

The mileage of this timing belt is more than 100 thousand km, cracks are already visible, an early breakdown is possible. In the photo: timing belt with Lifan Solano

When buying a belt, there is one old-fashioned way to check. Turn the belt inside out and see what material between the teeth should be grooved. The resource of such a belt is greater than that of a smooth timing belt.

The Lifan Solano car has been produced in China since 2009; since 2010, production has been launched in Russia. The choice fell on the city of Cherkessk, where they opened a car assembly plant. The car is rightly classified as a class "C", the parameters are very close to the "Golf" family. The car has an attractive appearance, high-torque motor, is in demand among the population of many countries.

The power unit of the machine has a belt in the valve mechanism drive, so many owners and potential buyers will be interested to know how the timing belt is replaced on Lifan Solano.

The LF481Q3 engine is made in China, according to car owners, it is a reliable, easy-to-maintain motor. The working volume of the engine is 1587 cm 3, which is quite enough for safe movement in the city and on busy highways.

It has an in-line arrangement of four cylinders. The operation of each cylinder is provided by two valves in the intake tract, two valves in the exhaust gas outlet. The valve is driven by two camshafts that are installed in the cylinder head.

The motor can develop a power equal to 78 kW. The combustion chamber is wedge-shaped to ensure efficient combustion of the fuel mixture.

Hydraulic compensators are not provided on this engine, the adjustment of thermal clearances is carried out by selecting and installing pushers in the form of a glass between the valve and the camshaft protrusion. The timing mechanism of this motor is driven by a toothed belt. And also the machine can be equipped with an LFB479Q engine, which has a working volume of 1800 cm 3, develops a power of 128 hp. With.

Does Lifan valve bend?

This question arises for many car owners who have heard about problems with a broken belt on other car models. I immediately want to reassure them that this does not happen on this power unit. The Japanese Toyota 4A-EF, purchased under license, was taken as the basis for this motor. Its designers eliminated the possibility of damage to the valves when the toothed belt breaks. This positive quality was adopted by engineers from China. If we talk about engines with a working volume of 1800 cm 3, then according to experts, damage to valves is in rare cases possible. Mostly this happens when the engine is running at high speeds.

Belt replacement

You can replace a worn spare part with your own hands. In addition to the desire to do such work, you need to purchase new parts, prepare a tool, two car jacks, a car stand, wheel chocks.

You will also need screwdrivers with a flat and cross-shaped blade, rags. If this is the first time you are working, then you can print out the Timing Belt Replacement Guide for reference. The work can be done on a flat area, the procedure will be something like this:

• The handbrake cable is tightened, wheel chocks are installed under the rear wheels, wheel bolts are torn off with a balloon wrench. Raise the car, install a stand under the body, remove the right front wheel.
• And also it is necessary to dismantle the mudguard on the right side. After that, the second jack is installed under the engine crankcase, having previously laid a gasket made of wood so as not to damage the engine pan.
• They remove the high-voltage wires from the spark plugs, dismantle the valve cover along with the gasket, experts recommend changing it.
• Raise the motor a little and proceed to unscrew the three screws on the right support of the power unit.
• Further work is hindered by the drive belts of auxiliary units, they are removed. Release the screw of the generator set, move it back. To loosen the tension, you will have to “suffer” a little, since the tensioner pin is in an inconvenient place.
• Now you need to remove the belt from the air conditioning compressor, the tension of which is carried out by a roller. After loosening the fasteners of the roller, the belt is removed.
• After that, you need to dismantle the plastic protective covers of the timing mechanism. They break easily, so they must be handled with care. You will have to unscrew the air conditioning compressor, generator, as they interfere with the removal of one bolt on the middle protective casing.
• The turn has come before setting the alignment marks, when this is done, the crankshaft pulley should be dismantled. To do this, stop the crankshaft from turning in an accessible way, unscrew the bolt securing the pulley, remove it from the shaft. You may need a special tool to remove it.
• Remove the lower protective case of the timing mechanism, you need to unscrew the three fixing screws.
• Now you should loosen the fastening of the tension roller, then dismantle the timing belt.
• It is recommended to change the belt tensioner roller at the same time as the belt, so the old assembly must be removed from the engine.
• The installation of a new belt is carried out in the reverse order. Before starting work, carefully check the alignment of the installation marks. First of all, the tensioning mechanism is installed, then the toothed belt. It is put on the crankshaft gear, then go clockwise. Tension the drive by turning in the direction of the arrow on the tension roller housing, followed by fixing the fixing screw. At the end of the work, crank the engine crankshaft twice, while carefully checking the alignment of the installation marks.

Mounting marks

The correct location of the valves in the cylinder head is ensured by installing all parts in a certain position. To do this, there are alignment marks on the crankshaft, camshaft drive gear, camshaft pulleys. The crankshaft should be rotated until the piston of the first cylinder is at top dead center. This position will be indicated by the mark "E" on the camshaft housing and "K" on the pulley, which must match.

The crankshaft pulley also has a mark that matches the "0" mark on the cylinder block. In this case, the keyway will be in a vertical position.

Replacement terms

There are such owners of Lifan Solano who operate the car without replacing the toothed belt for 100 thousand km or more. You do not need to listen to their advice, since the quality of the used spare parts is different, not all of them can last such a long time. The optimal mileage should be approximately 60 thousand km, these are the recommendations of the motor manufacturers.

You will learn about adjusting Lifan valves or replacing Lifan valves in this material. which is collected from many sources and compiled for your convenience in the study and application in practice.

This article describes how to manually adjust the Lifan valves on Lifan Solano cars and the Lifan x60 car. The material grouped into categories will help you with this. For your convenience, not sophisticated words are used, as well as pictures and videos for a better understanding of the ongoing process of replacing parts in the engine.

Valve adjustment on Lifan Solano

Engine characteristics Lifan Solano

A Chinese LF481Q3 is installed on the Solano. This is an analogue of the Toyota 4A-FE engine with minor changes. In particular, the ignition distributor was removed and an electronic ignition module was installed. But the fact that the Chinese motor does not say that it is somehow bad. The motor is good, it serves for a long time and regularly, although I have not yet met cars with a mileage of more than 130 thousand km.

Some Typical Parameters LF481Q3:

Bore: 81mm

Stroke: 77 mm

Compression ratio: 9.5:1

Fuel: 93 unleaded gasoline

Rated speed: rpm 6000

Rated power: kW 78

Maximum Torque: N m / RMP 137N m / 3500rmp

Minimum idle speed, rpm 800 ± 50

Idle emission limit CO ≤ 0.3%, CH ≤ 80ppm

Ignition advance angle (idle) 5 ± 3 º

Intake valve clearance (cold) mm 0.20 ~ 0.25

Exhaust valve clearance (cold) 0.30 ~ 0.35

The Lifan Solano LF481Q3 engine has 16 valves and two (2) camshafts. There are no hydraulic compensators at all, the valves are driven by pushers-cups, and the adjustment is carried out by selecting the thickness of these pushers.

The timing drive on this engine is a belt, and if this belt breaks, the valves will not be bent with a 98% probability ... It has been checked that we have already met two cars with a broken belt.

camshaft graduation valves are driven by the timing belt, and the intake valve shaft is driven by means of oblique gears, which are mounted on the shafts.

The injection system on the lifan is multi-point, which means that injection into the cylinders occurs only when this particular cylinder is on the intake stroke. In other cylinders at this moment petrol is not injected.

The control unit takes the parameters of many sensors located on the engine and, based on their readings, controls the injection of the mixture, achieving optimal engine operation in all modes.

The electronic control system consists of the following three parts:

(1) Sensors- Convert various non-electrical parameters into electrical, understandable ECUs.
Sensors include: Lubrication system pressure sensor.
① Inlet pressure / temperature, measures the air pressure and its temperature in the intake manifold. Based on these readings, the ECU calculates the amount of injected gasoline at each point in time.

②throttle position sensor,"Shows" the control unit how much the gas pedal is pressed. Accordingly, the block increases fuel injection for acceleration or decreases for deceleration. The reaction speed of the control unit depends on the engine control program installed in it.
③ coolant temperature sensor, by cooling temperature ECU fluid also regulates the fuel injection time and its composition, enriching it for cold start.
④ Heated oxygen sensor, monitors the oxygen content in the exhaust. Based on these data, the ECU determines whether the mixture is rich or lean now entering the cylinders and adjusts its composition to the ideal one (14.7 parts of air per 1 part of gasoline).
⑤Knock sensor, works in tandem with a rough road sensor. Able to easily determine and transmit to the ECU data about which cylinder is not working (no spark for example or fuel)
⑥ crankshaft position sensor, the main sensor, using it the unit determines which cycle is currently taking place in each cylinder.

(2) Electronic control unit(ECU) is the "brain" for the entire electronic control system, which analyzes and processes all information from sensors, sends orders to control mechanisms, and corrects engine operation under a variety of conditions.

(3) Actuators execute the commands of the control unit

① pump, delivers pressurized fuel to the rail.
② injectors, inject it into the cylinders.
③ ignition coil, creates a high voltage to create a spark.
④ Pxx, idle air control, opens the bypass in the throttle valve to supply air when it is fully closed (at idle).

The Lifan Solano engine is short-stroke (the piston stroke is smaller than the cylinder diameter), and short-stroke motors produce more power at high speeds. This means that this car will “tear” from a place only at high speeds.

Does the valve bend on Solano 1.6?

Yes, the valves can bend in cases where the timing belt breaks. The consequences of bending valves can be very diverse, from repairing the cylinder head to overhauling the engine or replacing it.

Gap adjustment

Solano 1.6 valve adjustment

Valve adjustment is carried out using shims and cups. The normal clearance between the exhaust valve and the p / shaft cam should be 0.25-0.35, and the intake - 0.15-0.25 mm. If the gap is increased, it is necessary to select the desired adjusting washer and place it under the pusher. The process of preparing for measurement is quite simple. We remove the valve cover, having previously dismantled associated nodes. We take out the candle channels and make adjustments. If the cams on the camshaft are worn out, then it must be replaced.

Incorrect clearances in the valve mechanism can lead to a deterioration in the dynamics of the car, "shots" in the muffler, knocks in the engine and other unpleasant consequences.

The adjustment is checked on a cold engine by measuring the clearance between the valve lifter and the camshaft cam. The normal clearance for the exhaust valve should be in the range of 0.25-0.35 mm, and for the intake valve - 0.15-0.25. The check is carried out with a feeler gauge with the camshaft cam pointing upwards. If the gap values ​​do not match, then we adjust the valves by selecting the pusher of the required thickness. For this, the formula is used:

H = B + A-C, where H is the thickness of the new pusher, A is the gap value, B is the thickness of the old pusher and C is the normal gap value.

Checking and adjusting the valve clearance Lifan X60

- Remove the intake camshaft main covers.

- Supporting the timing chain with your hand as shown, remove the intake camshaft.

- Secure the timing chain with a rope as shown in the illustration.

- Remove the valve lifter.

- Measure the thickness of the removed valve lifter with a micrometer.

- Calculate the thickness of the new valve lifter (see table below) so that the valve clearance is within the specified range.

Valve adjustment on 1zz-FE

Due to the fact that the valves on the Emgrand and Lifan X60 engines are mechanically adjusted, sooner or later such an adjustment may become necessary. For those professionals who decide to take such a step, this article is written. All data is taken from official sources (www.geely.com).

I will not describe in detail some, in my opinion, obvious points, such as removing the valve cover.

Valve adjustment on the Geely Emgrand engine (aka the engine from Lifan X60)

To start remove the plastic engine cover, I hope this won't be a problem. You also need to remove the ignition coils, otherwise it will be difficult to remove the cylinder head cover.

Disconnect the high voltage wires from the coils and unscrew the fastening bolts.

Remove the coils from the spark plugs.

Remove the cylinder head cover.

To do this, first disconnect the battery terminals, as all textbooks teach.

Remove the two ventilation hoses from the cylinder head cover.

Unscrew the bolts and nuts securing the cover and remove it.

Remove the timing chain cover

A separate article on removing the timing cover on Emgrand and X60 engines (similar to Toyota's 1ZZ-FE).

Remove the timing chain and rotate the crankshaft so that the piston in the first cylinder is at top dead center.

Check the clearances in the valve actuator shown in the figure

Write down the valve number and the size of the gap, if it does not meet the allowable limits.

After that, you can move on to the remaining valves. To adjust them, you need to rotate the crankshaft 360 ° (one revolution). Thus, the top dead center of the compression stroke will be in the 4th cylinder.

Measure the clearances in the valves indicated by arrows and write down the gaps.

Removing valve lifters to replace them

To remove the tappets, support the engine with a jack and remove timing chain.

Remove the required camshaft l, remove the pusher to be replaced. Measure its thickness with a micrometer and calculate the thickness of the new pusher using the following formula:

Inlet: A=B+C-0.23 mm. (0.01 inch)

Release: A=B+C-0.32 mm. (0.32 inch)

A- thickness of the new pusher; IN- thickness of the old pusher: WITH- measured clearance

Select and install the desired pusher.

Everything is assembled in reverse order.
