This method presupposes that the cylinder head has been removed.
Check and adjust the valve clearance relative to the working range of the tappet.
The tolerances for valve clearance are 19.5±0.05 mm minimum and 20.5±0.05 mm maximum.
The valve clearance settings are 20.0 mm minimum and 20.4 mm maximum, with a nominal clearance of 20.2 mm.
Valve clearance is equivalent to the distance between the end of the valve stem and the camshaft bearing seat.
Before valve clearances can be checked, the camshafts and valve tappets must first be removed.
The valve clearance is checked with VALVE CLEARANCE GAUGE 83 93 753 as follows
Scheme 194
- Place valve clearance gauge across two of the camshaft bearing seats with the depth gauge against the end of the valve stem.
- Check that the maximum gauge depth of 20.5 mm actually reaches down to the end of the valve stem (noticed by the valve clearance gauge not bottoming against the bearing seat closest to the depth gauge).
- Then check that the min depth 19.5 mm does not reach the end of the valve stem spindle. Correct valve position should be between the depth measurement min and max values. If the valve position deviates from the given measurements, adjustments are done on the valve spindle or valve seat. The valve spindle is shortened if measurement is below the min value and the valve seat is machined if the max value is exceeded. When adjusting the valve position, set this at nominal value 20.2 mm.

Clean the crankshaft and use a micrometer to measure the crankpins and main journals. Measurements should be taken at several points round the circumference. Main journal and crankpin out-of-round (ovality) should not exceed 0.05 mm. If the measurements are close to or in excess of this limit, the crankshaft should be ground down to the specified undersize. Crankpins can be ground down to the first undersize using a straight grinding wheel. If they are ground down beyond that, a grinding wheel capable of grinding radii must be used since undercutting only suffices to the first undersize. Check that the shaft is straight to within 0.10 mm, using a dial gauge. Place the shaft with crankpins No. 1 and No. 5 in V-blocks on a flat and level bench. Apply a dial gauge to the middle crankpin and rotate the shaft.

Pitting in the surface sealing to the cylinder head
Under certain conditions, the cylinder block's surface sealing to the cylinder head can become pitted due to prolonged leaks in the cylinder head gasket. The pitting arises in the area around the engine coolant passageways.

Scheme 322
All 4-cylinder engines are water-cooled in-line units with 4 valves per cylinder, 2 overhead camshafts and 2 balancer shafts incorporated in the cylinder block. The engines have fuel injection and are of crossflow type, i.e. with the inlet valves on one side and the exhaust valves on the other side of the combustion chambers. The balancer shafts are designed to overcome vibration and the forces generated by the moving parts of the engine and at the same time reduce the level of unwanted engine noise.
Scheme 323
Cylinder block
The cylinder block is a special one-piece casting with the cylinder bores drilled directly into the block. Special oilways for the lubricating system are also drilled into the block.
Two tunnels for the balancer shafts are incorporated in the block. The tunnels have press-fitted aluminium bearing shells in which the balancer shafts run. These bearing shells can be replaced without the need for subsequent machining.
Pistons
The pistons are made of light alloy and have grooves for two compression rings and one oil scraper ring.
The upper compression ring is flat and chrome or molybdenum plated. The lower compression ring acts as an oil scraper, is somewhat wider than the upper compression ring and has three sections. The pistons are internally reinforced and designed for trapezoid connecting rods. The pistons are tin plated and their upper parts hard anodized. The gudgeon pins are nitro-hardened. The compression ratio of the B205 is 8.8:1 and of the B235 9.3:1.
Connecting rods
The connecting rods are forged and incorporate bushings for the gudgeon pins. The gudgeon pin bushings and big-end bearing shells are replaceable.
The gudgeon pins have a floating fit in the pistons and connecting rods. The axial movement of the gudgeon pins is limited by circlips in the gudgeon pin holes. The engine's connecting rods are strong and have trapezoid small ends.
Scheme 324
Cylinder head
The cylinder head, a light alloy casting, is bolted to the cylinder block. The combustion chambers are hemispherical with 4 valves per cylinder. This design improves the flow of gases in the cylinders, ensuring effective combustion of the fuel air mixture and so higher efficiency.
Timing cover and end plate
The timing cover incorporates the oil pump. The timing cover and end plate are both sealed to the block by means of Loctite 518.
Scheme 325
Second-order forces acting vertically
Inertial forces are generated because the pistons are not at half their stroke at 90° and 270° but considerably lower down. This is due to the relationship between stroke and connecting rod length. The common centre of gravity of the ascending and descending masses is therefore much lower down at 90° and 270°, than at 0° and 180°. This gives rise to forces moving upwards and downwards which vary periodically twice per crankshaft revolution and cause the engine to vibrate in a vertical direction.
Second-order forces acting laterally
During the power stroke the piston is pressed against the cylinder wall due to the angle of the connecting rod relative to the cylinder. At higher engine speeds, however, the inertial force is much greater. It can then be said that the crankshaft pulls the piston down and due to the angle of the connecting rod relative to the cylinder the piston is pressed against the cylinder wall, but this time on the opposite side. The combined gas and inertial forces acting in a sideways direction vary periodically twice per crankshaft revolution and cause the engine to vibrate in a lateral direction.
Scheme 326
The Saab balancer shaft system
Saab has used the balancer-shaft principle to cancel out second-order inertial forces. Two balancer shafts positioned symmetrically on the sides of the engine block but at different heights above the crankshaft centreline are fitted with eccentrically mounted balance weights. The shafts are driven by a chain and rotate in opposite directions to each other at twice the crankshaft speed.
At 90° and 270° the common centre of gravity of the ascending and descending masses is situated lower down in the engine block than at 0° and 180°. The balancer shaft weights must therefore be directed upwards. At 0° and 180° the centre of gravity has moved upwards and the balancer shaft weights must therefore be directed downwards.
Since the balancer shafts are situated at different heights above the crankshaft centreline, they also cancel out lateral forces. The torque generated by the balancer shafts is designed to counteract the gas and inertial forces acting in a sideways direction.
The balancer shafts are of identical design and are supported by aluminium bushes in the middle (between cylinders 2 and 3). The bushes are a press fit in the block and are lubricated via separate oilways.
For the balancer shafts to perform as intended, it is absolutely essential for them to be precisely aligned on assembly. Sprocket assemblies of different design for the exhaust and inlet sides are therefore used on the shafts and marked with identifying text.
The balancer shaft, chain sprocket and bearing housing are assembled as a single unit before being mounted in the cylinder block. This unit is then fitted on the correct side of the engine as indicated by the marking on the bearing housing.
Scheme 327
Balancer shaft drive
The balancer shafts are driven by the crankshaft via a chain, where the gear ratio on the shafts drive gears is such that the balancer shafts speed is double that of the crankshaft. The shaft on the exhaust side rotates in opposite direction since an idler sprocket has been mounted in the chain circuit. The chain is partly guided by two fixed guides and also by a moveable chain guide acted on by a chain tensioner. The chain tensioner tensions the chain with a spring when the engine is not running. When the engine is running, the oil pressure reduces the chain tensioner's spring force to reduce wear and noise in the balancer shaft circuit. The chain noise is reduced by the thrust rings located on the shaft gear and idler sprocket. The thrust rings catch the chain at the ring gear and the chain is thus applied smoother and quieter operation is achieved. Due to the smaller dwell angle, the thrust rings are larger on the exhaust side than on the intake side.
Scheme 328
Camshaft and tappets
The engine has twin overhead camshafts driven by a timing chain equipped with a self-adjusting chain tensioner. The camshafts act directly on the valves via hydraulic tappets which adjust automatically to differences in valve clearances caused by temperature variations. They operate in an oil bath, with oil supplied via an oilway in the cylinder head. The valves are made of steel with chrome-plated stems. The heads of the exhaust valves are stellited.
Chain tensioner
Mounted in the cylinder head, the chain tensioner is easily accessible for service. Tensioning force is applied by a springloaded plunger which, via a guide bar pivoted at the bottom, keeps the slack side of the chain correctly tensioned. A ratchet with close-spaced teeth prevents the plunger, and with it the guide bar, from moving back.
Scheme 329
Oil sump
The oil sump is in cast aluminium. Apply sealing compound (Loctite 518) directly to the flat surface of the flange. The B235R/L with manual gearbox has a reinforcement piece on the left-hand side of the sump that bears against the gearbox.
Oil filter
The oil filter is mounted on the exhaust side of the cylinder block. An adapter housing is fitted between the oil filter and the block. Hoses run from the adapter housing to the engine oil cooler.
An overflow valve is mounted inside the filter. The valve opens if the pressure drop across the filter becomes excessive, as could happen if the filter is heavily soiled.
Scheme 330

The engine has only one belt drive for all the auxiliaries. The drive has an automatic, self-adjusting belt tensioner consisting of a powerful spring which maintains belt tension via a pulley.
Scheme 331
Background
The balancer shafts are most effective within the normal working range of the engine, from 1800 rpm and above. At slower engine speeds, from idling up to 1800 rpm, the balancer shafts are unable to counteract engine vibration. To provide effective damping of engine vibration at speeds below 1800 rpm, the rear and right-hand front engine mountings are of hydraulic type. They are designed to provide the maximum damping effect between idling speed and about 1800 rpm. Hydraulic engine mountings confer the following advantages
- improved damping of horizontal engine movements during acceleration
- improved damping of vertical engine movements on bumpy roads
- Improved damping of engine movements when idling
- Reduction of structure-borne noise between engine and body.
