Cylinder Sleeve Trimming
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The EN 45680-861 trim tool assembly (2) from EN 45680-850: kit contains or requires the following components to complete 86 mm cylinder sleeve trimming:
- Debris collector (3) with filter EN 45680-865 from EN 45680-850: kit
- Air control valve (1)
- Drill motor with 1/2 inch chuck, 1 1/8 hp, 7 amps, triple gear reduction, and a 450-600 RPM rotational speed in a clockwise direction
- EN 45680-869 bore cutter bit and screw from EN 45680-850: kit
- EN 45680-899 Bore trimmer pilot from EN 45680-850: kit, white in color
- Gauge ring assembly EN 45680-862 from EN 45680-850:
kit
- Trim tool preloader (1)
- Set gauge ring (2)
- EN 45680-412 Set Gauge Ring (2)
- EN 45680-863 metal shavings catch plug (3) from EN 45680-850: kit
- EN 45680-866 drive adapter (4) from EN 45680-850: kit
- EN 45680-864 bolts (5) from EN 45680-850: kit
- After installing the NEW cylinder bore sleeve(s) into the engine block, trim the excess material from the cylinder bore sleeve flange.
- Place the metal shaving catch plug EN 45680-863 into the cylinder bore sleeve to be trimmed. Position the top approximately 3.0 mm (0.12 in) below the top surface of the cylinder bore sleeve.
- Place an additional metal shaving catch plug EN 45680-863 into all remaining cylinder bore sleeves.
- Ensure that the metal shaving catch plug EN 45680-863 is 3.0 mm (0.12 in) below the top surface of the cylinder bore sleeve.
- Ensure that the correct bore trimmer pilot and cutter bit are installed on the trimmer base assembly EN 45680-861:
- EN 45680-869 cutter bit and screw
- EN 45680-899 trimmer pilot, 86 mm sleeve
- The groove side of the set gauge ring (1) on the gauge ring assembly EN 45680-862 should be positioned upward on a flat surface.
- Carefully position the trim tool assembly EN 45680-861 onto the set gauge ring.
- Loosen the shaft collar screw (2).
- Push the shaft collar (2) downward using the trim tool preloader (1) on the gauge ring assembly EN 45680-862 until the shaft collar is positioned against the top of the flange bearing (3).
- Apply downward pressure on the collar and inner drive shaft using the trim tool preloader (1), then tighten the shaft collar screw to 19 N.m (14 lb ft).
- Place the trim tool assembly EN 45680-861 onto the cylinder to be trimmed with the directional arrow (1) pointing in line with the crankshaft centerline and the front of the block.
- Install the 4 bolts EN 45680-864 (2) into the cylinder head bolt holes in the block. Tighten the bolts to 20 N.m (15 lb ft).
- Fasten the drive adapter EN 45680-866 (1) into the drill chuck.
- Connect a compressed air supply 517.10-861.84 kPa (75-125 psi) to the male quick connect (3) located on trim tool assembly EN 45680-861. Turn the compressed air valve (2) to the open position. This starts the venturi vacuum system that will catch the metal shavings.
- Place the drive adapter EN 45680-866 and drill assembly (1) vertically onto the drive adapter end of trim tool assembly EN 45680-861. Do not apply downward force on the drill until full rotational speed has been reached. After reaching full rotational speed, apply firm downward force until the cutting action is complete.
- Remove the drive adapter EN 45680-866 (1) and drill assembly from the trim tool assembly EN 45680-861.
- Turn off the compressed air valve (2).
- Remove the trim tool assembly EN 45680-861 from the engine block.
- Remove any material shavings that may be found on the metal shaving catch plug EN 45680-863.
- Wipe the cylinder bore sleeve and surrounding areas free of any powder residue and then remove the metal shaving catch plug EN 45680-863.
- Install a straight edge on the cylinder block perpendicular to the crankshaft center line.
- Using a light, illuminate the backside of the straight edge.
- Looking at the front of the straight edge, check to see if light is protruding through the bottom of the straight edge and the top of the cylinder bore sleeve flange. If light is present on either side or both sides of the cylinder bore sleeve, the cylinder bore sleeve is cut incorrectly and a new cylinder bore sleeve needs to be installed.
- Looking at the front of the straight edge, check to see if light is protruding through the bottom of the straight edge and the top of the cylinder block deck surface. If light is present on both sides of the cylinder block, the cylinder bore sleeve is cut correctly.
- Proceed to the next bore sleeve to be trimmed repeating steps 10-23 if necessary.
CAUTION:
Do not bore or hone the cylinder bore sleeve. The cylinder bore sleeve inside diameter (I.D) is fully machined and honed to size and is optimally finished as shipped. Any attempt to modify this factory-produced sizing and finish with additional boring and honing will lead to engine damage, excessive noise or abnormal oil consumption.
CAUTION:
Ensure that all the metal particles are collected in order to prevent internal damage to the engine or bearings.
CAUTION:
Installing the metal shaving catch plug deeper than the recommended depth will create a decrease in vacuum system performance. A decrease in vacuum system performance will cause metal shavings to enter the engine and cause engine failure.
CAUTION:
Installing the metal shaving catch plug above the recommended depth will cause damage to the metal shaving catch plug.
NOTE:
Before using the trim tool assembly, the height of the cutting blades must be set to the proper specification. The proper specification is that the cylinder bore sleeve flange must be flush to +0.02 mm (0.0008 in) above the block deck surface.
NOTE:
Ensure that the set gauge ring surfaces are clean.
NOTE:
Once this procedure is done, it is not necessary to reset the trim tool assembly height until the blades are worn, damaged, or replaced.
CAUTION:
For proper tool operation, a drill motor with a 1/2 inch chuck, 1 1/8 hp, 7 amps, triple gear reduction, and a 450-600 RPM rotational speed in a clockwise direction must be used. If the proper drill motor is not used, damage to the cylinder bore sleeve will occur.
CAUTION:
Ensure that there are no crimps in the air feed hose or the vacuum hose. Crimps in the hose may cause metal shavings to exit the cutting tool in any direction, causing engine damage.
NOTE:
It should not take longer than 15 seconds to complete the trimming procedure. If it does, the trimming bits must be repositioned to a new cutting surface.
