This Part describes the types of work on the repair of V6 engines carried out directly on the vehicle. All repairs described below assume that the engine is installed on the vehicle.
The engine has a V-shaped arrangement of cylinders and 2 heads (one for 3 cylinders), located at an angle of 60°. Both camshafts (one in each head) are driven by a toothed belt. Belt tension adjustment is provided by a spring-loaded roller with an eccentric. The transmission of force from the camshaft to the valve is provided through rocker arms mounted on rollers and hydraulic pushers. Valves are self-regulating. Each cylinder has 1 intake valve and 1 exhaust valve. The crankshaft is cast from ductile iron. The crankshaft main bearing caps are molded into a single frame that is attached to the crankcase (cylinder block). The ignition distributor is driven by a helical gear, dressed on the toe of the left camshaft. The drive gear of the oil pump is dressed on the toe of the crankshaft.
