let me tell you some of the procedures to overhauled the 4G15 engines as i carried out before. This is the procedures for the piston, piston rings,bearings, oil pump and the connecting rod.
PISTON
REMOVAL.
1. Firstly, the nuts for the connecting rod cap on the
number one piston was being removed. The rod cap was hitted gently in order to
remove the piston. The bearing at the rod cap was also being removed.
2. When all the pistons had been removed, it been put
in a separate place in order to maintain the piston from any scratches or
damage. The piston had been labelled correctly prior to its positions in
cylinder blocks.
3. The piston and its other components was kept in its
original form in order to make things easier and to avoid losing the components
such as crank pin and the bolts.
PISTON INSTALLATION.
- First thing we did to install the piston back
inside the cylinder block was installing the rod bearings of the piston.
- After the rod bearing being installed, the
piston ready to be putted inside the cylinder blocks, so, we used the
piston ring compressor in order to aided the piston into the blocks. The
grip of this tools on the piston was set not too tight and not too loose
in order to make it easier to be remove after the piston was ready to be
placed in the blocks.
Position piston in cylinder
- The mallet was used to hit the piston in to the
cylinder blocks. The edge of the piston ring compressor was being hit
gently in order to make sure that is no gaps between the blocks and the
compressor, as the piston ring will stucks between the gaps during the
hitting of piston inside the blocks if not properly manage. Then the head
of the piston was being hit fast enough by the back of the mallets to
insert it into the blocks.
- After the piston had been matched with their
position to the crankshafts, we installed the rod caps.
- After all had been finished, the bolts then
being put to the rods and to fasten it, torque wrench had been used as the
bolts need the same torque when being fastened to be balance. The torque
was started by using 20Nm of torque first, then goes up to 40Nm, and at
last, 50Nm, in a zig zag movement.
INSPECTION
- Preparation
for piston installing
- Installation
of wrist pins
- Installation
of rod bearings
- Installation
of pistons
- Torque
the rod bolts
- Removing
pistons and checking bearing clearance
PISTON RING INSTALLATION
- Fit new rings in cylinder. Old ring was being
replaced in order to get better performance of the engine.
. - Measure and adjust ring gap.
- Cleaning of the ring with water and detergents.
BEARING.
- The
crankshaft bearing caps had been removed wisely.
- The
bearings had been removed. Screwdrivers was used to push the bearings.
- The
bearings that can be use again was kept to be assemble again in the
engines.
CONNECTING
ROD INSTALLATION
The connecting rod was installed correctly to their
original pistons. This is easier as all the piston components had been labelled
correctly and was put altogether with their basic components.
OIL
PAN REMOVAL.
Firstly before removing the oil pan, we first empty all the lubrication oil inside it. Then the engines was turned upside down in order to make job easier. After that, all the bolts that joints the oil pan with the blocks was removed by tools. All the bolts was counted and placed in a specific area to avoid of losing it. Then the oil pan was cleaned and all the gaskets pieces was torned by using a scrappers.

OIL PUMP
INSTALLATION
- The oil pump had been installed correctly after
all the bolts that join the connecting rod and the crankpin already been
torque bolted. The oil pump was been inspected for any damages before
installing it.
- After installation of the oil pump, we then put
the oil pan gaskets in its positions, the gasket was precisely made in
order to avoid leaking of the lubrication oil when the oil had been putted
into the engines. To sticks the oil gaskets onto its positions, we used a
special glue in order to make its stay on its position. The hole for the
bolts penetration also had been made for the gasket to provide an area for
the bolts to be installed.
