The following represents revised information for Sections 6A6, 6Cl, and 6C3 in the 1992 W4 Service Manual.

SERVICE INFORMATION:

The attached pages contain revised information for the 1992 W4 Service Manual. Pay special attention to the addition of a specification for hot plug cracks on page 6A6-24 and 6A6-25. The specifications for tightening head bolts has also changed. Refer to pages 6A6-29, 6A6-30, and 6A6-66. The procedure for adjusting the hand throttle has changed to ensure proper adjustment. Refer to page 6C1-7. Note the labeling change of the boost compensator and the aneroid compensator on page 6C3-11. Please void the existing pages and insert the new pages in your 1992 W4 Service Manual as follows:

3. Thermostat housing from front of cylinder head. Refer to ON-VEHICLE SERVICE: COOLING SYSTEM COMPONENTS (SEC. 6Bl). 4. Compress valve spring with spring compressor tool (figure 29) and remove split collars (71). 5. Valve spring (68, 69) and valve seats (70). 6. Spring seat (67). 7. Valves (65, 66). 8. Valve seal (75). Seal fits over valve guide and is retained with a spring (74).

Clean (Figure 27)

- All carbon from valve ports and combustion chambers. - Valve guide bore of dirt and carbon. - Valve stems and heads. Do not use a wire wheel. - All traces of old gaskets from cylinder head (14) and block.

Inspect (Figure 27)

- Cylinder head (14) for cracks, damaged threaded parts. etc. - Cylinder head (14) gasket surface for damage. - Valves (65 and 66) for warping, pitting, etc. - Valve seats (72 and 73) for burning and pitting. - Hot plug (76) for cracks. Replace with new parts if four or more cracks exist or if a crack extends out- side of the cylinder bore (figure 30a).

Measure (Figures 27 and 30-37)

- Cylinder head gasket surface for distortion. Use a straightedge and feeler gage as shown in figure 30. Check in six different directions. as shown. If the cylinder head is distorted more than 0.2 mm (0.008 inch), it must be replaced or resurfaced. The minimum allowable thickness of the cylinder head (item M, figure 27) after resurfacing is 89.75 mm (3.533 inches). - Hot plugs for depression. Check the amount of depression of hot plugs on No. 1 through No. 4 cylinders using a feeler gage. with a straightedge held against the hot plug face. If the hot plug is depressed more than 0.02 mm (0.0008 inch), it must be replaced. - Valve installed depth (figure 31). Production depth is 0.65 - 1.10 mm (0.026 - 0.043 inch). If more than 2.5 mm (0. 100 inch), replace the valve (65 or 66) or valve seat (72 or 73) as required. - Valve stem diameter, as shown in figure 32. Check in three places, as shown. Check against "Specifications" at the end of this section. - Valve guide (74) inside diameter, using an inside micrometer. Check against "Specifications" at the end of this section. - Valve guide to valve stem clearance(figure 33). * Locate a dial indicator as shown. * Hold the valve on its seat. * Move the valve stem from side to side to obtain the clearance reading. Check against "Specifications" at the end of this section. - Valve springs (68 and 69) for length and straightness. Check against "Specifications" at the end of this section. - Check length with vernier calipers (figure 34). - Check amount of inclination from vertical with a square on a surface plate, as sown in figure 35. - Valve spring tension (figure 36). Check the spring at the specified length.

2. Valves (65 and 66) into the proper port. 3. Valve spring seats 167). 4. Valve springs (68 and 69). The close-spaced coils face toward the cylinder head. 5. Valve spring cap (70). Compress the valve springs using spring compressor tool (figure 29). 6. Valve keys (71). Slowly release the compressor tool after the valve keys (71) are in place. 7. Thermostat housing and gasket. Refer to ON-VEHICLE SERVICE: COOLING SYSTEM COMPONENTS (SEC. 6Bl). 8. Intake manifold and gasket. Refer to "Intake Manifold Replacement" earlier in this section.

Install or Connect (Figures 27 and 43-45)

1. Head gasket (63) to the block. The "FRONT- TOP" mark on the gasket must be right side up, at the front of the block (figure 43). 2. Cylinder head (14). o If hot plug fell off. apply grease to the hot plug, and install it to the cylinder head. o Apply grease containing molybdenum disulfide to all head bolts (64). 3. Head bolts (64). The stud bolts are used on the right side (injection pump side) of the cylinder head (figure 44). Tighten (Figures 27,44, and 45) o Head bolts (64) in three stages, as outlined below: N-m (50 ft. lbs.) using the tightening sequence shown in figure 44. o Stage 1: Tighten all headbolts to 68 N.m (50 ft. lbs.) using the tightening sequence shown in figure 44. o Stage 2: Tighten all headbolts to 88 N.m (65 ft. lbs.) using the tightening sequence shown in figure 44. o Stage 3: Refer to figure 45. Make punch mark on the bolt heads, as shown. Then, make a second punch mark on the head. 120-150 degrees clockwise from the first mark, as shown. Then, tighten all head bolts 120-150 degrees, using the tightening sequence shown in figure 44. 4. Valve train components as outlined in "Valve Train Component Replacement" previously in this section. Adjust o Refer to VALVE ADJUSTMENT(SEC.6A) in this manual. 5.

Remove or Disconnect (Figures 46 and 47) 1. Battery cables. 2. Cylinder head (14) as outlined in "Cylinder Head" previously in this section. 3. Oil pan (134) as outlined in "Oil Pan Replacement" later in this section. 4. Bolts (83). 5. Connecting rod cap (82). 6. Piston (80) and connecting rod (81) as an assembly. If the piston is to be reused, mark the cylinder number on it so it can be returned to the proper cylinder as assembly. Be sure to keep the connecting rod cap (82), connecting rod (81) and connecting rod bearing inserts (86 and 87) together as a matched set. Numbers are stamped on the connecting rod and cap to help keep the parts together (figure 47).

Disassemble (Figures 46, 48 and 59) 1. Rings (76, 77, and 78), using a ring expander (figure 48). 2. Snap rings (79). 3. Piston pin (84). Heat the piston (80), if required, to aid in piston pin removal. Do not drive the piston pin out.

Clean (Figure 46) - Piston (80) and rings (76, 77, and 78) in solvent. Do not wire brush the piston. - Liner (89) bore with a solvent soaked cloth (figure 59). - Piston (80) ring grooves with a ring groove cleaning tool.

HAND THROTTLE ADJUSTMENT

Before adjusting the hand throttle cable be sure the accelerator linkage and engine idle speed are adjusted correctly.

Adjust (figure 13) 1. Position the hand throttle control knob in the "off" position. 2. Loosen the clip (1) and adjust the cable (2) so that there is 5+/-l mm (0.20+/-.04 in) clearance (A) between the clip and the outer cable end. 3. Tighten the clip (1) to hold the cable in position 4. From the position above, confirm that the accelerator pedal begins to move when the hand throttle control knob is turned 2.5 times.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
