Engine Mechanical - 2.0L: Maintenance Ford Transit VII

Lubrication System

The engine lubrication system operates as follows

1. Oil is drawn into the oil pump through the oil pump screen cover and tube in the sump of the oil pan.
2. Oil is pumped through the oil filter on the left front side of the cylinder block.
3. Oil enters the main gallery where it is distributed to the crankshaft main journals and to the cylinder head.
4. From the main journals, the oil is routed through cross-drilled passages in the crankshaft to lubricate the connecting rod bearings. Controlled leakage through the crankshaft main bearings and connecting rod bearings is slung radially outward to cool and lubricate the cylinder walls as well as the entire connecting rod, piston and piston ring assembly.

Scheme 58

1. Remove the valve cover. For additional information, refer to «VALVE COVER»(ref-356734-S38976933312010022700000) .
2. Remove the 2 bolts and accessory drive belt splash shield. To install, tighten to 9 N.m (80 lb-in).
3. Use a feeler gauge to measure each valve's clearance and record its location.
4. Perform following procedure. intake: 0.25 mm (0.0095 in). exhaust: 0.30 mm (0.0115 in). Select tappets using this formula: tappet thickness = measured clearance + the existing tappet thickness - nominal clearance. Select the closest tappet size to the ideal tappet thickness available and mark the installation location.
5. If any tappets do not measure within specifications, install new tappets in these locations. For additional information, refer to «VALVE TRAIN COMPONENTS - EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-356734-S07248402222010022700000) and «VALVE TAPPETS»(ref-356734-S00099714392010022700000) .
