In this article we will consider the main points of assembling the VAZ-2112 engine.

Before assembly, all engine parts must be washed and defective.

How to assemble a VAZ-2112 engine

Before installing the upper main bearing shells with an aerosol carburetor cleaner, we clean the piston cooling nozzles.

Install the liners in the bed of the main bearings.

How to assemble a VAZ-2112 engine

In this case, the fixing protrusion of the liner should enter the groove of the bed.

In the first, second, fourth and fifth beds (counting from the camshaft drive), install liners with grooves, and in the third without a groove.

The surfaces of the semi-rings with an anti-friction coating (grooves are made on them) should face the cheeks of the crankshaft.

How to assemble a VAZ-2112 engine

Turn the half rings so that their ends are flush with the ends of the bed.

We install the main bearing caps in accordance with the marks made on their outer surface (the caps are counted from the timing belt drive side).

In this case, the locks of the upper and lower shells of each main bearing must be located on the same side.

We wrap the bolts of the covers without tightening them

Marks on main bearing caps

Tighten the cap bolts to 69-84 Nm (6.9-8.4 kgf m).

Crankshaft tightening order

First we tighten the bolts of the third cover, then the second and fourth, then the first and fifth.

After tightening the bolts, turn the crankshaft - it should rotate easily, without jamming.

How to assemble a VAZ-2112 engine

Measure the axial clearance of the crankshaft.

It should be within 0.06-0.26 mm.

If the gap exceeds 0.26 mm, replace thread resistant half rings

How to assemble a VAZ-2112 engine

To measure the end clearance of the crankshaft, install the indicator so that its leg rests on the shaft flange.

Move the crankshaft away from the indicator and set the indicator to 0.

Move the crankshaft to the opposite side.

The indicator will show the amount of clearance.

A steel-aluminum semi-ring is placed in front (from the side of the crankshaft pulley), and a metal-ceramic one is placed in the back.

Rings are produced with nominal and increased by 0.127 mm thickness.

When the axial clearance of the crankshaft exceeds 0.35 mm, one or both half rings change (the nominal clearance is 0.06-0.26 mm).

Push the pump with the oil seal onto the crankshaft up to the seat on the shaft. Then, with a pointed stick made of soft wood, carefully tuck the lip of the stuffing box onto the shaft neck.

How to assemble a VAZ-2112 engine

Carefully slide the oil pump along the shaft until it stops and screw on the mounting bolts

Adjust the position of the pump so that its upper plane coincides with the plane of the block.

Tighten the six fastening bolts with a torque of 8.5-10.0 Nm (0.85-1.0 kgf m).

When assembling the connecting rod and piston group, it is necessary that the piston pin, lubricated with engine oil, enter the piston hole with the force of pressing the thumb and not fall out of the piston when the finger is vertical.

We install rings on the pistons and arrange them as follows:

  • - the lock of the upper compression ring is oriented at an angle of about 45 ° to the axis of the piston pin
  • -lock of the lower compression ring - at an angle of 180° to the axis of the lock of the upper ring.
  • - oil scraper ring lock - at an angle of 90 ° to the axis of the upper compression ring lock.

Set the lower compression ring with the groove ("scraper") down.

If the ring is labeled "TOP" or "TOP" - the ring is placed with the label up.

When installing the oil scraper ring, we place the expander joint on the side opposite to the ring lock.
