GENERAL INFORMATION
Engine (General Data) Engine designation: GA. Engine code: – carburetor engines GA14DS, GA16DS – injection engines GA14DE, GA16DE. Displacement: – GA14: 1392 cm³ – GA16: 1597 cm³. Cylinder bore: GA14 76.00 mm; GA16 76.0 mm; GA16 73.6 mm. Piston stroke: – GA14 88.0 mm – GA16 81.8 mm. Crankshaft rotation: clockwise (viewed from the right side of the vehicle). Location of No. 1 cylinder: on the timing chain side. Firing order: 1-3-4-2. Compression ratio: – GA14DS 9.5 : 1 – GA16DS, GA14DE and GA16DE 9.8 : 1. Cylinder compression pressure: – standard value 13.2 kgf/cm² – minimum limit 11.3 kgf/cm² – maximum difference between cylinders 1.0 kgf/cm². Camshaft and tappets: – drive: chain – number of bearings: 5. Camshaft end play: Standard: – carburetor engines 0.115 – 0.188 mm – injection engines 0.070 – 0.143 mm. Limit (all engines) 0.20 mm. Intake cam lobe height: – carburetor engines 39.880 – 40.070 mm – injection engines 39.380 – 39.570 mm. Exhaust cam lobe height (all engines) 39.880 – 40.070 mm. Camshaft journal diameters: – front journal (N1) 27.935 – 27.955 mm – other journals (N2–5) 23.935 – 23.955 mm. Camshaft bearing bore diameters in cylinder head: – bearing for front journal (N1) 28.000 – 28.021 mm – for other journals (N2–5) 24.000 – 24.021 mm. Camshaft journal clearance: – standard 0.045 – 0.086 mm – limit 0.15 mm. Camshaft runout: – standard not more than 0.02 mm – limit 0.1 mm. Tappet outer diameter 29.960 – 29.975 mm. Tappet bore diameter in cylinder head 30.000 – 30.021 mm. Tappet-to-bore clearance 0.025 – 0.061 mm. Valve clearance: Cold engine (*): – intake valves 0.25 – 0.33 mm – exhaust valves 0.32 – 0.40 mm. Hot engine: – for inspection: • intake valves 0.21 – 0.49 mm • exhaust valves 0.30 – 0.58 mm – for adjustment: • intake valves 0.32 – 0.40 mm • exhaust valves 0.37 – 0.45 mm. (*) Valve clearance is to be checked only on a hot engine. The manufacturer specifies standard clearances for both warm and cold engine. Cold engine clearances are checked only before starting the engine after major overhaul. After the engine has warmed up, check the clearances again. Lubrication System: Oil pump type: gear type, driven by crankshaft nose. Minimum oil pressure at operating engine temperature: – at idle 0.49 – 1.86 kgf/cm² – at 3000 rpm 3.43 – 4.41 kgf/cm². Oil pump clearances: – driven gear to pump body 0.11 – 0.20 mm – driven gear to crescent-shaped calibration insert 0.04 – 0.38 mm – drive gear to crescent-shaped calibration insert 0.04 – 0.30 mm – driven gear end play 0.05 – 0.11 mm – drive gear end play 0.05 – 0.09 mm – drive gear end face to oil pump cover 0.045 – 0.091 mm.
