The Lexus IS F 8-Speed Sport Direct Shift Transmission Conquering a Stereotype

Short Description
Conventional wisdom has long held that a good manual transmission is always faster and more fun than an automatic transmission: Faster because it directly transfers power without the typical power loss of a torque converter, and more fun because it responds exactly to the driver’s commands with no delay. Fast, direct, fully controllable and predictable – exactly the desired qualities in any “driver’s car.” Moreover, precisely the qualities that describe the new Lexus IS F’s 8-Speed Sport Direct Shift transmission.

The transmission is an arrow through the heart of conventional wisdom.
But why go to the trouble of creating an automatic transmission that performs better and faster than a manual? After all, the simple yet effective manual transmission is held in high esteem by driving enthusiasts everywhere.
Engineers love a challenge and when the IS F Chief Engineer dared his staff to build a paradigm-changing high-performance car, the conventional automatic transmission was a ripe target. Why? The IS F would not meet their lofty goals with anything less than a complete re-think of the gearbox. Goals that included scintillating track performance.
Moving from Weakness to Strength
In the process of creating a maximum performance car, Lexus has done nothing less than turn what is typically thought to be a weakness into a solid advantage. To illustrate the point, let’s get right to the qualities that make it so:
• The worlds fastest shift time for street legal production cars. At 0.1 second, it’s faster than you.
• Full manual shift control that can be instantly accessed by moving the console-mounted shift lever to “M” and then using either the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters or the shift lever. In manual mode, it shifts only when you tell it to.
• A direct feel unrivaled by conventional automatics, made possible via clutch lockup (yes, like a manual) employed in second through eighth gears
• Ultra-quick throttle blipping downshifts match engine and gear speed to avoid sudden engine braking—an advantage during performance driving, on the track or on the road
• First gear torque multiplication for maximum off-the-line acceleration
• Smooth, yet quick and drama free automatic shifting, if that is what you desire
These qualities add up to create a track-worthy ultra-high performance transmission that works for you, not against you, by responding to your demands the moment you want or need it to. And unlike other transmissions built for high performance duty, there is no pain required for your gain.

Instruction Manual On Converting Your Lexus SC300 to Supra Twin Turbo Power

Short Description
It had been almost a full year since I began the project to install a Supra M KIV Twin Turbon engine in my Lexus SC300 coupe. After many delays and heartaches, I have finally completed all the connections to my new engine, and ready for the first test. Anxiously, I slide behind the wheel. Beside me is the empty passenger compartment, still missing the seat removed so long ago. On the passenger floorboard lies the “guts” of the engine brain, or ECU. Literally scores of wires are lying on the pulledup carpet. The entire cneter console has been removed, along with the air conditionng controls and radio.

Towing and Road Service Guide For Lexus LS 460

Short Description
The Lexus LS 460 has a standard ground clearance of 5.7 inches with the optional air suspension system functioning properly. Loading this vehicle onto a conventional car carrier may require additional ramping in some circumstances. However, clearance at the trailing end of the vehicle should always be monitored as it is loaded. The towing eye bolt should be used for front loading of this LS series vehicle. The eye bolt is located in the tool kit in the center of the rear cargo area under the floor.

Content
If the towing eyebolt is missing or otherwise inaccessible, the tie-down slots on the undercarriage can be used to load the vehicle. Eyebolts are available for purchase through any Lexus dealership parts department. Other towing and tie-down equipment shown in this guide is available through AW Direct, a AAA preferred supplier.
To install the eyelet correctly on this vehicle, start by carefully removing the eyelet receiver cap from the bumper. If a sharp, metal object like a screwdriver is used as shown below, use a cloth or piece of paper to protect the painted surfaces from scratches.
Although the receiver cap cover has a string type piece that holds it to the vehicle when it is removed, it is always a good idea to remove the assembly completely from the bumper. Stow the receiver cap in the vehicle either in the trunk, where the eyelet was stowed, or in a cup holder in the center console, so that it does not blow off the vehicle or get lost during transport.
SHIFTER LOCK OVERRIDE
If there is a problem with the shifter or if the ignition key is not available, the transmission can be shifted out of the park position. This is accomplished by lifting out the small cover above the shifter “Park (P)” indicator and depressing the button below the cover to allow the shifter to be moved out of the Park position.

Combining both sports car design cues and SUV packaging, Mazda CX-7 creates an immediate impression. The dynamic profile and athletic stance set it apart in the parking lot, just as the performance and handling set it apart on the road. A sharply raked windscreen helps create a sporty outline that is topped off with a sunroof and a flowing side silhouette. The sleek side window design highlights the broad shoulders of Mazda design DNA. It makes you look twice. And closer inspection is rewarded with excellent build quality and attention to detail. Oval-shaped fog-lamps sit either side of the bold lower grille. Alloy wheels shine from within the accentuated wheel arches. Chrome finish handles beckon from the doors. The sporty, aggressively styled rear end is completed by chrome-tipped twin exhausts. In short, Mazda CX-7 has a presence that can’t be ignored. Its enticing design is the perfect introduction to a vehicle that crosses the style you love in a sports car, with the practicality you want in an SUV.

How To Install The OEM Fuel Line Upgrade Kit In 93+ Mazda RX-7s

Short Description
This document is intended to help guide you with the installation of the Mazda “Fuel Line Upgrade Kit” (part number N3A1-13-S70A - $63.25) and is in no way intended to be a complete instructional “how-to”. You should have confidence in your mechanical abilities before attempting the following procedure. If you are unsure if you can finish the installation, consult with your local Mazda dealer or mechanic. If you are not comfortable doing this maintenance by yourself, ask a friend to help and work as a team. A pizza and some drinks can go a long way.a

Read through this entire document in advance and have the factory service manual (FSM) available for any specific maintenance practices, procedures, and torque specifications. Having plenty of time to perform the procedure is recommended, as is a clean work environment.
Before disconnecting any fuel line, depressurize the fuel system using the procedure outlined in the FSM to minimize fuel loss. Do the same for the cooling system by removing the filler cap. Since you will be disconnecting coolant lines, make sure you have some premixed coolant available to replenish the system when the job is complete. Make sure you have something available to plug these lines to minimize the loss of fluids. If you spill any fuel and coolant on the engine, clean it up before starting reassembly (use standard precautions and procedures for removing spilled fuel and coolant from painted surfaces).
Next, seal all air, fuel, and coolant orifices with clean rags, tape, plugs, or plastic upon disassembly to prevent foreign objects entering and causing accidental internal damage. Make sure all such barriers are removed and accounted for during reassembly. This may seem like common sense, but it’s very important. A turbo won’t spin well with a shop rag wrapped around it. Also, since you will have access to the “rats nest” of vacuum lines, consider the opportunity to replace them if not done already. Make sure you have the necessary materials available to minimize downtime.
This is also a good opportunity to send the fuel injectors out for cleaning and blueprinting, especially if you suspect they are suffering poor performance. Additionally, if you’ve been contemplating upgrading to higher flow injectors, you may want to have the parts on hand prior to performing the following procedure. An instruction document on how to install stock 850cc secondary injectors in lieu of the 550cc primaries is available from the author (see “How To Replace Stock 550cc Primary Injectors With OEM 850cc Injectors In The 93+ RX-7”).
Finally, label parts and electrical connectors as you take them apart to take the guesswork out of reassembly. This saves time by creating efficiency. All things considered, the kit goes together easily as most of the parts are self-explanatory. The pictures throughout this document were provided by Martin Crane, except Figure-1, which was provided by Jeff Hoskinson. They are intended to help clarify any questions you may have during the installation.

Where to? Wherever you like! In a Mazda2 Standard or Sport, getting there is so easy and so much fun. Behind the wheel, you’ll quickly feel at home, with all the controls at your fingertips. Look ahead and take in the panoramic visibility. Fasten the seatbelt, start the engine and Zoom-Zoom begins. The Mazda2 handles so well. In the cut and thrust of city driving, it goes exactly where you point it. On the highway, it’s rock solid and ultra comfortable. Electric power assistance makes the steering extra responsive, with great road feel at all speeds. The zippy 1.5 litre S-VT engine is now even more refined so overtaking is a breeze and cruising is effortless. Yet with all this zip under the bonnet, Mazda2 now sips even less fuel. Just as it takes very little to make a Mazda2 go, it takes very little to make it stop. Gentle pressure on the brake pedal provides maximum control in all conditions. ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution is standard on both models. You’ve also got a choice of transmissions, both of them fun and easy to use. There’s the smooth shifting 5-speed manual. Or the new, sporty 4-speed Activematic. Leave it in auto mode, or change up or down through the gears without a clutch. So what else can we say about a car that’s terrific to drive, easy to park and is light on fuel? Actually quite a bit. Keep reading and you’ll see why Mazda2 is just too good.

Mazda Miata, MX-5, Eunos & Roadster

Short Description
These cars use a conventional cooling system in which the water-based coolant is circulated around the engine by a small centrifugal pump driven by a belt from the crankshaft. Engine heat is transferred to the coolant, which is constantly circulated through the radiator. Air passing though the radiator matrix reduces coolant temperature before it circulates once again through the engine. Hot air is sucked from the engine compartment by the airstream created by the moving car. An electric cooling fan switches on at a predetermined coolant temperature to draw air through the radiator matrix. This ensures adequate cooling in very hot temperatures, or when in slow-moving traffic.

…
During cold weather, the interior of the car is heated by a system like the engine cooling system running in reverse: hot coolant from the engine is diverted through the heater matrix below the dashboard, and air is passed through the matrix to extract heat to warm the passenger compartment. The heater control allows the occupants to control a combination of recirculated and fresh air, and to boost the incoming airflow with an electric fan. An optional air conditioning system is available. This works pretty much like a domestic refrigerator. An engine-driven compressor circulates refrigerant through the condenser - effectively another radiator - mounted in the nose of the car. The condenser, backed up by an electric fan, is designed to dump unwanted heat into the passing airstream. Refrigerant is piped to the cooling unit (evaporator) mounted under the dashboard. Hot air from the car’s interior is passed through the evaporator, the refigerant absorbing the air’s heat and thus reducing its temperature. The warmed refrigerant evaporates into a gas which is pumped back to the condenser, where it cools and liquefies: the cycle is then repeated.

NEW MODEL RELEASE Mazda MX-5

Short Description
In 1989 Mazda introduced the Mazda MX5 to the motoring public, putting a fresh perspective to the original concept of a fun, exiting to drive, affordable two seater sports car. Sixteen years on the third generation MX5 is poised to continue the success of the original . The new model isn’t a radical departure from the original, Mazda has continued the evolutionary design that has worked so well, and the new model remains true to the original concept. The most noticeable styling elements of the original , flowing curves and proportions looking through the sides have been retained, with a smoothing of the classic “Coke Bottle”shape apparent when compared to the outgoing model. Whilst its looks have evolved, the latest model is new from the ground up, and Mazda executives claim the only carry over component is the side repeater lamp.

Three full size clay models were developed by Mazda’s design studios in the US, Germany, and Japan before the designers settled on new shape. [the Japan design studio won out] The all new MX5 is bigger in all aspects, it has a new 2.0 litre engine with 118kW of power replacing the previous 1.8 litre engine, a new six speed automatic transmission with wheel mounted paddle shifts, larger cabin dimensions, extra safety features that now includes side airbags and anti whiplash seats. The new generation MX5 hasn’t gained any weight either to accommodate these extra features, the new body shell is nearly 50% torsionally stiffer but overall the new generation MX5 is only four kilograms heavier in base form then the superseded model. One element that hasn’t increased is the MX5’s fuel consumption , the new model even with its performance increase returns 8.5 L/100km with a manual transmission and 8.8L/100km for the new six speeds automatic. Both figures are better than the outgoing model. The good news for buyers is that with all the additional mechanical upgrades the base model MX5 pricing starts at $41,860, just under $1000 more than the superseded model.

How do you know if they need replacing?
Jack up the car, and take a look at them. In the images below, you can see that the one on the left is somewhat worn out (note the cracks) but still intact. The one on the right is obviously torn, so it must be replaced. Things you need
- 3 jacks (I used a floor jack, a bottle jack and a scissor jack) and bricks / wood blocks
- Jack stands
- 19mm socket and extension
- Long-handled torque wrench capable of ~60 ft-lbs
- Some sort of silicone-based lubricant (not petroleum-based!)
- Wooden tidbits & sliding miter saw (or table saw, or chisel, or…)
- Scrap metal (I used 1/16” aluminum) and a means of cutting it (can be crude).
- Subframe mount repair kit. This kit contains enough parts to do the subframe mounts on the front of the rear axle, on both sides of the car – Mercedes part 124-350-03-41. Included are 2 bushings, 2 washers and 2 bolts. Note that the bushings included in this kit are part 124-351- 19-42 while the ones installed on the car were 201-351-27-42. That’s OK – the new ones fit fine.
- Patience. Removing the old parts probably won’t go as planned.
- A cute, nice wife to bring you parts and crackers while you are under the car.

Mazda Service Bulletin ROUGH IDLE, LACK OF POWER, AND/OR MIL ON WITH DTC P2177/P2187 (FUEL SYSTEM LEAN)

Short Description
Due to low fuel pressure at the high-pressure fuel pump, some vehicles may experience the following:
• Rough idle, stall, and/or hesitation under cold conditions.
• Intermittent lack of power during acceleration when the engine gets hot.
• MIL turns on with DTC P2177/P2187 (fuel system too lean at off idle).
This is caused by a delayed fuel pressure build-up from the high pressure fuel pump. There are two main reasons for this:
1. The drive current from the PCM is not enough for some fuel pumps.
2. Some fuel pumps have slower response.
To fix the problem, the PCM software and the specification of the high-pressure fuel pump have been changed. Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.

2001 MERCEDES C240 ELEGANCE

Short Description
The lines of the new Mercedes C-Class are similar to those of the prestigious S-Class representing an excellent Cx of 0.27. Wheelbase, length and width have gained a few centimetres. The C-Class is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle that comes with a choice of a new 2.6- litre V-6 or a 3.2-litre V-6 already available in other models. The new V-6 can be mated to a sixspeed manual gearbox or a five-speed automatic.

Interior and trunk
Despite the low stance, access proves relatively easy. The front seats are extremely comfortable, with two shock absorbers under the rear of the cushion which, combined with the suspension, work so well that you almost want to chase bumps just to enjoy how well they’re absorbed. The sunroof makes headroom tight for tall individuals. The lever to adjust the fore-aft movement of the seat is a long reach near the centre console. Mercedes should relocate the lever on the door side to make it easier to move the seat back before getting in. The rear bench provides very good seating for two, but foot room is a bit tight. A 60/40 split backrest and a ski bag are available as options. The rear package shelf holds a complete first-aid kit. The trunk is spacious.
Convenience and safety features
Needless to say, fit and finish are impeccable and sound insulation is very efficient. Materials and controls have a feel of quality that was missing in recent years in other Mercedes offerings. The dual-zone air conditioner with independent controls for the driver and front passenger works impeccably. A “REST” position circulates cool or warm air, depending on the season, for 30 minutes after the engine is switched off, if the battery charge is sufficient. Once you get used to this feature, you won’t want to do without it. Mercedes has re-instated a dual wiper system but will have to improve the control. You have to apply the right pressure to use the MIST function. Too much pressure turns the washers on. We humbly suggest a traditional lever on the right that you simply raise or lower when needed. The present system also turns on the wipers before the washers have a chance to wet the windshield, something even the manufacturers advise against. The washer fluid tank holds only three litres whereas it should hold at least four. There is plenty of room for a bigger tank, since models with headlamp washers have a tank that holds more than six litres.

Sprint Booster A technical white paper

Short Description
Several Mercedes owners had installed a Sprint Booster in their cars and subsequently posted rave reviews about it. I wondered if all of their claims were true. Frankly, I was skeptical, but if these owners were on to something, I might want a Sprint Booster in my car! I also wanted to know how the Sprint Booster worked. I decided to investigate. The results of my investigation are presented here.

…
The Sprint Booster is an aftermarket electronic module that plugs in between the accelerator pedal and the engine control unit (ECU) in vehicles equipped with an electronic throttle control. Many Mercedes, BMWs, Audis, and other vehicles sold today employ electronic throttle control, and more vehicles are going that way. The Sprint Booster web site makes these claims regarding electronic throttle control and the Sprint Booster:
“The ECT system (Electronic Throttle Control) – also known as drive-bywire – has the unfortunate downside of delayed throttle response and subdued acceleration, creating problems in certain circumstances such as up-hill starts, quick gearchanges, overtaking, etc.”
“The Sprint Booster aims to overcome this throttle response delay for ECT-equipped vehicles, providing crisp on-tap acceleration at the driver’s disposal.”
“By installing the SPRINT BOOSTER, we eliminate the delay that occurs from the moment that the throttle is depressed and the electronic throttle control opens the butterfly, thus greatly improving the car’s acceleration figures.”

As in the E-class and S-class sedans, the new C-class has more front legroom than anyone is ever likely to need. This is just as well, because rear legroom is very tight with the front seats set right back. With the front seats set in a position to suit my reasonably long legs, rear legroom was just enough for adults. Seat comfort is generally good for four out of the five occupants; the centre rear position is uncomfortable, due to limited seat padding and a large floor hump. Good suspension compliance provided both test cars with a comfortable ride that did not seem unduly affected by the low profile 55- series tyres that are fitted. There’s no facility to fold the rear seat (though a split-fold rear seat is listed as an option) but the standard boot is of a good size and it should prove adequate in coping with the requirements of an average family.

1996 1999 Nissan Pathfinder (R50) Automatic to Manual Transmission Conversion Manual

Short Description
This manual will, in detail, give the information you will need to convert a 4×4 1996-1999 Nissan Pathfinder from an automatic transmission to a manual transmission. Having a manual transmission in your Pathfinder gives you more control, lower gears, and more power than you would have with an automatic. Other benefits include better gas mileage, lower maintenance cost and reduced electronic dependence. Although the part prices and part numbers are directly from the dealership many auto recyclers will have serviceable parts at a much lower price. It is highly recommended that you contact auto recyclers in your area for the manual transmission and transfer case assembly, or transmission only in the case of 2wd vehicles.

Supplemental front air bag system
The driver supplemental front air bag is located in the center of the steering wheel. The passenger supplemental front air bag is mounted in the dashboard above the glove box. These systems are designed to meet optional certification requirements under U.S. regulations. They are also permitted in Canada. The optional certification allows the front air bags to be designed to inflate somewhat less forcefully than previously. However, all of the information, cautions and warnings in this manual still apply and must be followed. The supplemental front air bag system is designed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions, although it may inflate if the forces in another type of collision are similar to those of a higher severity frontal impact. It may not inflate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indication of proper supplemental front air bag system operation.

When should an air bag inflate?
The driver’s and right front passenger’s frontal air bags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal crashes. But they are designed to inflate only if the impact speed is above the system’s designed “threshold level.” In addition, your vehicle has “dual stage” frontal air bags, which adjust the amount of restraint according to crash severity. For moderate frontal impacts, these air bags inflate at a level less than full deployment. For more severe frontal impacts, full deployment occurs. The driver’s and right front passenger’s frontal air bags are not designed to inflate in rollovers, rear impacts, or in many side impacts because inflation would not help the occupant. The side impact air bags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes. A side impact air bag will inflate if the crash severity is above the system’s designed “threshold level.” The threshold level can vary with specific vehicle design. Side impact air bags are not designed to inflate in frontal or near-frontal impacts, rollovers or rear impacts, because inflation would not help the occupant. A side impact air bag will only deploy on the side of the vehicle that is struck.

Steering Tips
Driving on Curves
It’s important to take curves at a reasonable speed. A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned on the news happen on curves. Here’s why: Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is subject to the same laws of physics when driving on curves. The traction of the tires against the road surface makes it possible for the vehicle to change its path when you turn the front wheels. If there’s no traction, inertia will keep the vehicle going in the same direction. If you’ve ever tried to steer a vehicle on wet ice, you’ll understand this. The traction you can get in a curve depends on the condition of your tires and the road surface, the angle at which the curve is banked, and your speed. While you’re in a curve, speed is the one factor you can control.
…
Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. For example, you come over a hill and find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between parked cars and stops right in front of you. You can avoid these problems by braking — if you can stop in time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t room. That’s the time for evasive action — steering around the problem. Your vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like these. First apply your brakes. See “Braking in Emergencies” earlier in this section. It is better to remove as much speed as you can from a possible collision. Then steer around the problem, to the left or right depending on the space available.

Buying New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at the Certification/Tire label. The tires installed on your vehicle when it was new had a Tire Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) number on each tire’s sidewall. When you get new tires, get ones with that same TPC Spec number. That way your vehicle will continue to have tires that are designed to give proper endurance, handling, speed rating, traction, ride and other things during normal service on your vehicle. If your tires have an all-season tread design, the TPC number will be followed by an “MS” (for mud and snow). If you ever replace your tires with those not having a TPC Spec number, make sure they are the same size, load range, speed rating and construction type (bias, bias-belted or radial) as your original tires.
…
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
The following information relates to the system developed by the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which grades tires by treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This applies only to vehicles sold in the United States.) The grades are molded on the sidewalls of most passenger car tires. The Uniform Tire Quality Grading system does not apply to deep tread, winter-type snow tires, space-saver or temporary use spare tires, tires with nominal rim diameters of 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm), or to some limited-production tires. While the tires available on General Motors passenger cars and light trucks may vary with respect to these grades, they must also conform to Federal safety requirements and additional General Motors Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) standards.

PERFORMER RPM ALUMINUM CYLINDER HEADS for 1965-79 Pontiac V8s

Short Description
Designed for 1965-1979 389-455 c.i.d. Pontiac engines, these heads are patterned after the 1969-1970 Ram Air IV Pontiac cylinder head. Two styles are available: 87cc combustion chamber version for applications requiring an 87cc combustion chamber and a 72cc chamber version for applications requiring a 72cc combustion chamber. Both heads have Ram Air IV port flanges. Performer RPM Pontiac heads produce outstanding horsepower with excellent low speed torque and throttle response. High flow exhaust ports require Ram Air IV headers or exhaust manifolds. On both versions, the deck surface is 5/8″ thick for superior durability and head gasket retention. All factory accessory bosses are included for bolt-on convenience. Performer heads #60569 and #60579 have the exhaust heat cross-over machined and are street legal on 1965-1979 vehicles with 389-455 c.i.d. V8s without secondary air injection. Note: In 1967-1968 Pontiac, change valve angle from 17° to 14°. Edelbrock Pontiac cylinder heads use the later 14° valve angle. When installing Edelbrock Pontiac cylinder heads on 1965-1966 and some 1967 engines that came stock with the early 17° valve angle, compatibility of valves with pistons will need to be checked.

PONTIAC CYLINDER HEAD INTAKE MANIFOLD
GASKET FITTING:
NOTE 1: The position of the intake port entry on all Edelbrock Pontiac cylinder heads has the same roof height as a Pontiac 455 Super Duty cylinder head. This was done to provide the best performing intake port while maintaining a stock Pontiac port location. The Fel-Pro 1233 intake manifold gasket has a port roof to intake manifold bolt hole centerline dimension that is .06″ lower than 455 Super Duty head dimension. When installing the Fel-Pro 1233 intake gasket on Edelbrock Pontiac cylinder heads, align the gasket with the intake port entries. Three of the bolt holes in the gasket will have to be elongated as shown in the illustration. NOTE 2: The radii of the intake port entry corners on Edelbrock Pontiac cylinder heads is 3/16″ to maximize the cross-sectional area through smallest part of the port. The corners of the intake port openings of a Fel-Pro 1233 intake manifold gasket are 3/8″. If you are using the intake manifold without port-matching the runner exits or if you port match to the 3/8″ radius, you do not have to modify the corners of the port openings in the gasket. If you are port-matching to the 3/16″ radii in the cylinder head, then the corners of the gasket port opening should be modified.

1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe AWD F6-3600cc 3.6L SOHC

Short Description
Oil leakage between cylinder and cylinder head. Oil “leakage” in the case of 911 Carrera 2/4 engines means oil leaking (drops forming) from the cylinder to cylinder head mating area, resulting in oil wetness on the lower area of the cylinder head or on the exhaust heat exchangers. Due to higher operational temperatures of the Carrera 2/4 engines, some blackening (carbonizing) of oil at the lower sealing area is possible. If there is only a small discolored area on the bottom of the cylinder head without wetness, this can be considered normal and no repairs are necessary.

When repairing oil leaks from the cylinder to cylinder head sealing area on engines prior to the above engine numbers, all cylinders and pistons should be replaced and all cylinder head sealing surfaces refaced. Cylinder head nuts are reusable.
IMPORTANT: Replacement piston and cylinder sets have a groove to accommodate a seal between the cylinder head and cylinder mating surface (Figure 1). Effective immediately, only the steel sealing ring, Part Number 964 104 115 20 is to be used during repairs. This information also applies to engines produced after the above mentioned engine numbers. When installing the cylinder head to the cylinder, the steel sealing ring must be fully installed in the groove of the cylinder. Sparingly use light grease to hold the ring in the cylinder during installation. The above subject repair will require PRIOR District Service Manager authorization until further notice (this includes dealers on the self-authorization program). All subsequent repairs needing to be done, in addition to the cylinder head re-machining, piston and cylinder replacement, exceeding $100 will also require a PRIOR District Service Manager authorization.
