DIY eye engine repair

In detail: do-it-yourself eye engine repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Very often they call or write us with a question - “on the site you showed so many modified engines, but do you do a standard overhaul?
Answer - YES, we do!

But on the site earlier, somehow, reports with examples of major repairs were not laid out - we consider this work simple and did not write reports on it - it was taken for granted that we also carry out ordinary major repairs.

However, after the increased number of questions on this topic, we decided to show in detail the standard overhaul, so to speak, from the “chamber of weights and measures”.

What are the reasons for the standard overhaul, why not make tuning, forcing the engine? The answer is simple - not everyone needs tuning and not always. Often, the client is quite satisfied with the parameters of a serial engine, but its resource has been exhausted. The client needs a good and high-quality repair, the budget is often limited, and the resource needs a high one. We offer such clients typical engine overhaulhowever with some minor tweaks that dramatically affect the engine resource and have been tested by us for a long time on tuning projects.

Let's consider further such work in all details.

So, our client brings an Oka car, with a two-cylinder 11113 engine, a volume of 0.75 liters. The exact mileage is unknown, but about 100 thousand km. Symptoms - the candles are oily, there is also a strong oil throw through the crankcase ventilation into the air filter housing. Diagnosis - piston group.

Let's look at the car and the engine compartment. We discover that someone has already laid the fuel return line. We are also doing this kind of work. The line for draining the fuel into the tank on the Oka is also needed with a serial engine, especially in hot weather, in conditions of traffic jams.

I decided to overhaul after a complete disassembly of the motor and its inspection. But alas, not immediately after the purchase, but only after more than a year of its operation - there was no money and I finished it off (not on purpose, but because I did not pull at the bottom at all), often spinning up to 5-6 thousand rpm on the carburetor 21081 ...
A poor-quality repair was made on the car before the purchase (boring in the first repair without replacing it with the corresponding piston), as a result of which the engine also died very quickly, and a burned-out exhaust valve in the second cylinder was also found.
The overhaul was carried out in the city of Naberezhnye-Chelny in the KVAZAR Workshop.
What was done:
1. Boring up to 82.8
2. Connecting rods and pistons 2110 with floating pin
3. Piston cooling nozzles
4. Light valves
5. Bronze guides
6.RS pusher washers
7. Drilled channels for forced lubrication of pushers
8. Grinding the knee all gaskets, new cylinder head bolts, etc.
9. Craft clutch, flywheel groove and replacement of its crown.

You can see the finished motor in the photos. After running in 3000 km, I began to pull much harder, unlike the new state, not a drop of oil leaks anymore, the engine is dry and clean!))))

Checkpoint disassembled and washed. The gears turned out to be in good condition, and the whole row, apparently it was replaced simply in the collection sometime. Also installed a cardan from Kalina.

Oka's car began to be produced a long time ago and has earned considerable popularity among domestic motorists. Of course, the technical characteristics of the car in question are far from the requirements of a modern motorist. Despite this, at one time Oka enjoyed great popularity due to its inherent economy. Owners of an Oka car of the early years of production often encounter malfunctions of the engine system. This is easily explained by the service life and operating conditions of the vehicle. One of the most effective ways to return the vehicle to work is to overhaul the Oka or VAZ 11113 engine. It is quite difficult to carry out repairs yourself, since many processes will require expensive equipment. In order to save money, you can prepare the Oka for a major overhaul with your own hands.

The benefits of the overhaul are clear. Large-scale repair of the engine will allow: to increase the service life of the vehicle, to increase the resource of the engine and to increase its performance.

The first stage of the overhaul is a detailed diagnosis of the internal combustion engine. It is quite difficult to carry out a check in a garage. In order to determine the productivity of an engine, you will need computer equipment and related skills.

To perform a complete restoration of the engine, it is necessary to dismantle the vehicle device. It is not so easy to carry out this procedure with your own hands, despite the small dimensions of the motor. To avoid damage to the engine, it is necessary to use a number of specialized equipment: support frames, hydraulic puller, engine hanging device.

After the engine has been successfully dismantled, it is necessary to start disassembling it.It is necessary to disassemble the engine strictly in a certain order in order to prevent damage to its individual parts.

After disassembly, it is necessary to proceed to the most important stage of the overhaul, which consists in troubleshooting individual components of the internal combustion engine. The main purpose of the overhaul is to restore the original parameters of the vehicle elements. Therefore, the only correct manual for repairing the Oka is the original instructions of the manufacturer.

In the course of a large-scale restoration of the VAZ 11113 engine, the following procedures are mandatory:

  • Restoring the parameters of the cylinder block VAZ 11113.
  • Repair of crankshaft and camshaft inlets.
  • Restoration of the bearing part of the crankshaft.
  • Processing the head of the VAZ 11113 cylinder block.
  • Restoring the tightness of the unit by welding.
  • Correction of the connecting rod geometry.
  • Replacement of all consumables and rubber seals.

Large-scale car repair requires appropriate skills and expensive equipment. Therefore, in order to perform the restoration, you will have to turn to professionals.

One of the most important stages of engine restoration is cylinder head processing. The vehicle manufacturer specifies the permissible head processing limit, which must be strictly adhered to when carrying out repairs. Before proceeding with a large-scale repair, it is necessary to study in detail the accompanying instructions of the manufacturer's plant. Also, it is imperative to check with the master to what depth the cylinder head will be processed. If the element is worn out above the permissible limit, further operation of the block head is prohibited. If processing and restoration of the cylinder head is possible, the work is accompanied by the obligatory replacement of the cylinder head gasket. In this case, it is also necessary to take into account the processing depth of the element in order to give the block its original tightness.

To restore the VAZ 11113 internal combustion engine to the factory parameters, it is recommended to use the services of proven workshops. Overhaul is a rather complicated and time-consuming procedure that must be carried out by qualified craftsmen. Before carrying out repairs, it is necessary to assess the cost of the restoration soundly. Some car enthusiasts forget to appreciate the difference between restoring an element and replacing it. With critical engine wear, repair costs may well exceed the primary cost of the internal combustion engine. If it is necessary to replace individual elements of the vehicle, it is worth using only original spare parts from the manufacturer.

After carrying out the repairs, it is worth starting to break in the car. During the running-in period, it is necessary to prevent an increased load on the propulsion system. Otherwise, the costs of restoring the engine will not pay off and the VAZ 11113 vehicle will again lose its performance.

Successful restoration of the VAZ 11113 car!

In general, the car "Oka" is a fairly reliable and unpretentious model: the car has low fuel consumption, high-quality chassis, which is perfectly adapted to our roads. However, during operation, certain technical problems appear with enviable regularity in various systems and mechanisms of the machine. We will tell you more about the most frequent breakdowns and malfunctions.

Starter problems
Probably, all owners of the VAZ-1111 are familiar with the situation when you turn the ignition key, but the car does not react in any way - the starter does not even try to turn the crankshaft. How to find out what the problem is and what to do in such a situation?
First, check the battery terminals: if they are securely clamped, if there is oxide on them. Perhaps the "plus" or "minus" just flew off.
Second, it is necessary to exclude jamming of the crankshaft. To do this, turn the coolant pump (pump) or generator shaft. If they do not rotate, you should contact the service station - this problem cannot be eliminated on the spot.
Third, inspect the ignition switch and starter - it is possible that any of the contacts are disconnected and therefore no electric current is supplied.
Fourth, if a crack is heard under the hood when the ignition key is turned, then, most likely, the starter traction relay has burned out. It needs to be replaced.
Fifth, it is not uncommon for the starter to make a loud noise during operation. Possible cause - improper installation of the starter or loose mounting. Tighten loose bolts or align the entire mechanism.
Sixth, loud noise is also possible due to wear on the bearing bushings. In this case, they should be replaced.

If the starter turns the crankshaft freely, but the engine still does not start, then do the following:
• check the capacity of the storage battery, possibly there is not enough voltage. Most often, in this case, a crackling sound is heard. If so, recharge the battery or replace it;
• check the Hall sensor with a voltmeter, if you need the device not at hand, then install a known good sensor (experienced motorists recommend always carrying a spare Hall sensor with you);
• the engine may not start due to a faulty commutator. It cannot be repaired - it should be changed immediately;
• check the correctness of setting the ignition timing;
• make sure that the marks on the crankshaft and camshafts match.

If after that the car still does not start, then we proceed to check the spark plugs:
• unscrew the candles and measure the gap (standard - 0.7-0.8 mm);
• if there are spare working candles - screw them in, it may be that the old ones have simply fallen into disrepair.

Carburetor malfunctions

The second mechanism that can cause the car not to start is the carburetor:
• the needle valve may be stuck closed - tap lightly on the carburetor cover. Replace the faulty valve as soon as possible;
• if there is no gasoline in the carburetor float chamber, check the filters and pipes of the fuel system. They may be clogged or pinched;
• in hot weather, especially after long periods of standing, gasoline can evaporate from the carburetor. Try manually pumping fuel;
• the pump may be faulty - unscrew the fuel hose from the carburetor, pinch it with your finger and manually pump the gasoline - a working pump will create a tangible pressure;
• check the jets (main fuel and idle), possibly dirt has got into them;
• tighten all bolts and carburetor mountings.

"Shots" from the exhaust pipe
Each of us has heard more than once how cannonade literally sounds from the exhaust pipe. The VAZ-1111 car is also susceptible to a similar disease. The reasons for this are as follows:
• incorrectly set angle of ignition moment;
• the switch is faulty;
• the valve timing is knocked down - the marks on the crankshaft and camshafts do not match;
• broken ignition coil;
• installed candles with an inappropriate glow number

Gasoline smell
Often, domestically produced cars "delight" the driver and passengers with a persistent smell of gasoline. If this situation is familiar to you, then proceed according to the following algorithm:
• check the threaded fasteners and clamps on the fuel system hoses;
• inspect the oil dipstick, if there are traces of gasoline on it, it is possible that gasoline will get into the crankcase through the faulty diaphragm of the fuel pump. A diaphragm or a pump follows, if a lot of fuel gets in, then oil;
• adjust the carburetor starting device;
• check the level of gasoline in the float chamber;
• screw the fuel jets tightly;
• adjust the ignition timing;
• inspect the throttle valve, it may be stuck;
• use a compressor to check the pressure in the cylinders. Gasoline odor can be caused by worn valves, rings, seats and other parts.

Increased fuel consumption
If the car has an increased fuel consumption, then it is necessary to check the following components and mechanisms:
• the diaphragm of the fuel pump - its damage leads to the ingress of gasoline into the crankcase;
• tighten all clamps and threaded connections of the fuel system, possibly at some joint there is a leak;
• Quite often, increased resistance to movement of the car causes unnecessary fuel consumption. VAZ-1111 at a speed of 50 km / h should have a run-down (i.e., the distance that the car will travel when the neutral gear is engaged) more than 500 m, if this does not happen, then check the pressure in the wheels, the angles of the front wheels and the operation of the brake system (possibly wedging it up);
• adjust the carburetor, check the throttle valve, jets, needle valve;
• Sometimes increased fuel consumption is a sign of wear or damage to valves and piston rings.

Increased oil consumption
Increased oil consumption is considered to be 500 g per 1000 km of run, i.e. if you have to add oil to the engine every few hundred kilometers. The reasons for this malfunction are as follows:
• wear of sealing lips, hardening of gaskets. In this case, wash the engine and find the leak after a short trip;
• clogged crankcase ventilation system;
• wear or loss of elasticity of the valve stem seals (valve seals), valve stems or guide bushings. It will be necessary to partially disassemble the cylinder head and replace the broken parts;
• wear or breakage of piston cylinders and their rings. It is difficult to replace cylinders on your own without special equipment, so it is better to contact a service station.

The oil pressure indicator light is on
If while driving your oil pressure indicator light comes on, you should stop immediately. Further driving may result in serious engine damage. After stopping, carry out the following diagnostics:
• check the oil level on the dipstick;
• it is possible that the oil of the wrong viscosity has been filled in - change it;
• remove the oil pan and check the oil receiver mesh (may be clogged) and the pressure reducing valve for skewing, clogging or weakening of the spring;
• inspect the diaphragm of the fuel pump - if it is damaged, gasoline gets into the oil, thereby thinning it;
• check the oil pump - due to wear of the gears, it may be defective;
• make sure that the emergency oil pressure sensor is in good working order and the terminal is connected to it (maybe the contact has fallen asleep).

Overheating of the engine
Severe overheating of the engine may be due to malfunctions in the cooling system:
faulty thermostat;
• plugs in the cooling system resulting from leaks in the expansion tank cap. To check, apply soapy foam to the lid and press your hands on the cooling system hoses, if soap bubbles go out, replace the tank or lid;
• limescale in the cooling system - flush the entire system with special means and do not use hard water in the future (it is best to fill in antifreeze);
• excessive contamination of the radiator cells - wash the radiator with a jet of water;
• check the electric fan - close its contacts, if it works, then the sensor is faulty, if not, then check the electrical circuit or the fan motor;
• adjust the ignition timing.

Extraneous noise when driving
If during movement there are extraneous noises or tapping, then the following mechanisms must be checked:
• wheel bearings - their wear causes noise;
• tires - possibly uneven tread wear, rubber peeling;
• the wheel touches the wheel arch liner - adjust the wheel alignment angles, do not overload the car and use only standard wheel disks;
• tighten the wheel nuts;
• faulty shock absorber strut;
• worn suspension spring;
• check the silent blocks, ball joints, tie rods, anti-roll bars, strut mountings.

Brake system problems

A squeal when braking is the first sign of a problem with the braking system. The most common causes of screeching are the following malfunctions:
• wear of brake linings (pads) - replace both pads;
• dirt trapped in the pads - clean the pad surface with a metal brush;
• corrosion of the brake disc - sharpen or replace it;
• Weakened or broken rear brake pad return spring.

This is not a complete list of possible malfunctions. Any technique breaks down sooner or later, but if we cannot predict when exactly this will happen, then it is within our power to prepare:
1. Always carry a tow rope with you.
2. it is desirable to have wires for lighting in the car (especially important in winter);
3. Spare switch and Hall sensor;
4. a set of fuses;
5. a piece of fuel hose and clamp;
6. spare spark plugs;
7. belts for the generator and pump;
8. clutch cable;
9. solenoid valve for idling.
This simple list will help you cope with some breakdowns and get to the service station. Do not forget to grab some politeness - motorists, despite the general bitterness, are quite close-knit and sympathetic people. It is unlikely that you will be left alone in trouble.
