Valve adjustment on Lifan Solano
Engine characteristics Lifan Solano
A Chinese LF481Q3 is installed on the Solano. This is an analogue of the Toyota 4A-FE engine with small changes. In particular, the ignition distributor was removed and an electronic ignition module was installed. But the fact that the Chinese motor does not say that it is somehow bad. The motor is good, it serves for a long time and regularly, although I have not yet met cars with a mileage of more than 130 thousand km.
Some Typical Parameters LF481Q3:
Bore: 81mm
Stroke: 77mm
Compression ratio: 9.5:1
Fuel: 93 unleaded gasoline
Rated speed: rpm 6000
Rated power: kW 78
Maximum Torque: N m / RMP 137N m / 3500rmp
Minimum RPM idle move, rpm 800 ± 50
Idle emission limit CO ≤ 0.3%, CH ≤ 80ppm
Ignition advance angle (idle) 5 ± 3 º
Intake valve clearance (cold) mm 0.20 ~ 0.25
Exhaust valve clearance (cold) 0.30 ~ 0.35
The Lifan Solano LF481Q3 engine has 16 valves and two (2) camshafts. There are no hydraulic compensators at all, the valves are driven by pushers-cups, and the adjustment is carried out by selecting the thickness of these pushers.
The timing drive on this engine is a belt, and if this belt breaks, the valves will not be bent with a 98% probability ... It has been checked that we have already met two cars with a broken belt.
camshaft graduation valves are driven timing belt, and the shaft intake valves is driven by means of oblique gears, which are fixed on the shafts.
The injection system on the lifan is multi-point, which means that injection into the cylinders occurs only when this particular cylinder is on the intake stroke. In other cylinders at this moment petrol is not injected.
The control unit takes the parameters of many sensors located on the engine and, based on their readings, controls the injection of the mixture, achieving optimal engine operation in all modes.
The electronic control system consists of the following three parts:
(1) Sensors- Convert various non-electrical parameters into electrical, understandable ECUs.
Sensors include: Lubrication system pressure sensor.
① Inlet pressure / temperature measures air pressure and temperature during intake manifold. Based on these readings, the ECU calculates the amount of injected gasoline at each point in time.
②throttle position sensor,"Shows" the control unit how much the gas pedal is pressed. Accordingly, the block increases fuel injection for acceleration or decreases for deceleration. The reaction speed of the control unit depends on the engine control program installed in it.
③ coolant temperature sensor, by cooling temperature ECU fluid also regulates the fuel injection time and its composition, enriching it for cold start.
④ heated oxygen sensor
, monitors the oxygen content in the exhaust. Based on this data, the ECU determines the rich or lean mixture now enters the cylinders and adjusts its composition to the ideal (14.7 parts of air to 1 part of gasoline).
⑤Knock sensor, works in tandem with a rough road sensor. Able to easily determine and transmit to the ECU data about which cylinder is not working (no spark for example or fuel)
⑥ Position sensor crankshaft
, the main sensor, according to which the block determines what cycle is taking place on this moment in each cylinder.
(2) The electronic unit management(ECU) is the "brain" for everything electronic system control, which analyzes and processes all the information from the sensors, sends an order to the control mechanisms, and corrects the operation of the engine under a variety of conditions.
(3) Actuators execute the commands of the control unit
① pump, delivers pressurized fuel to the rail.
② injectors, inject it into the cylinders.
③ ignition coil, creates high voltage to create a spark.
④ Pxx, idle air control, opens the bypass in throttle for air supply when it is fully closed (at idle).
The Lifan Solano engine is short-stroke (the piston stroke is smaller than the cylinder diameter), and short-stroke motors produce more power at high revs. This means that this car will “tear” from a place only at high speeds.
Does the valve bend on Solano 1.6?
Yes, the valves can bend in cases where the timing belt breaks. The consequences of bending valves can be very diverse, from cylinder head repair, before overhaul motor or replacement.
Gap adjustment
Solano 1.6 valve adjustment
Valve adjustment is carried out using shims and cups. The normal clearance between the exhaust valve and the p / shaft cam should be 0.25-0.35, and the intake - 0.15-0.25 mm. If the gap is increased, it is necessary to select the desired adjusting washer and place it under the pusher. The process of preparing for measurement is quite simple. We are filming valve cover, having previously dismantled associated nodes. We take out the candle channels and make adjustments. If the cams on the camshaft are worn out, then it must be replaced.
Incorrect gaps in valve mechanism can lead to a deterioration in the dynamics of the car, “shots” in the muffler, knocks in the engine and other unpleasant consequences.
The adjustment is checked on a cold engine by measuring the clearance between the valve lifter and the camshaft cam. The normal clearance for the exhaust valve should be in the range of 0.25-0.35 mm, and for the intake valve - 0.15-0.25. The check is carried out with a feeler gauge with the camshaft cam pointing upwards. If the gap values do not match, then we adjust the valves by selecting the pusher of the required thickness. For this, the formula is used:
H = B + A-C, where H is the thickness of the new pusher, A is the gap value, B is the thickness of the old pusher and C is the normal gap value.
Checking and adjusting the gap in Lifan valves X60
- Remove the intake camshaft main covers.
– Supporting drive chain hand, as shown in the figure, remove the inlet camshaft.
- Secure the timing chain with a rope as shown in the illustration.
- Remove the valve lifter.
- Measure the thickness of the removed valve lifter with a micrometer.
- Calculate the thickness of the new valve lifter (see table below) so that the valve clearance is within the specified range.
Valve clearance calculation:
Inlet valve:
A \u003d B + (C - 0.22 mm)

Valve adjustment on 1zz-FE
Due to the fact that the valves on the Emgrand and Lifan X60 engines are mechanically adjusted, sooner or later such an adjustment may become necessary. For those professionals who decide to take such a step, this article is written. All data is taken from official sources (www.geely.com).
I will not describe in detail some, in my opinion, obvious points, such as removing the valve cover.
Valve adjustment on the Geely Emgrand engine (aka the engine from Lifan X60)
To start remove the plastic engine cover, I hope this won't be a problem. You also need to remove the ignition coils, otherwise it will be difficult to remove the cylinder head cover.
Disconnect the high voltage wires from the coils and unscrew the fastening bolts.
Remove the coils from the spark plugs.
Remove the cylinder head cover.
To do this, first disconnect the battery terminals, as all textbooks teach.
Remove the two ventilation hoses from the cylinder head cover.
Unscrew the bolts and nuts securing the cover and remove it.
Remove the timing chain cover
A separate article on removing the timing cover on Emgrand and X60 engines (similar to Toyota's 1ZZ-FE).
Remove timing chain and rotate crankshaft so that the piston in the first cylinder is at the top dead center.
Check the clearances in the valve actuator shown in the figure
Write down the valve number and the size of the gap, if it does not meet the allowable limits.
After that, you can move on to the remaining valves. To adjust them, you need to rotate the crankshaft 360 ° (one revolution). Thus, the top dead center of the compression stroke will be in the 4th cylinder.
Measure the clearances in the valves indicated by arrows and write down the gaps.
Removing valve lifters to replace them
To remove the tappets, support the engine with a jack and remove timing chain.
Remove the required camshaft l, remove the pusher to be replaced. Measure its thickness with a micrometer and calculate the thickness of the new pusher using the following formula:
Inlet: A=B+C-0.23 mm. (0.01 inch)
Release: A=B+C-0.32 mm. (0.32 inch)
A- thickness of the new pusher; IN- thickness of the old pusher: WITH- measured clearance
Select and install the desired pusher.
Everything is assembled in reverse order.

A common problem for car owners in which engines with a timing belt drive are installed is that when the belt breaks timing Valves bend on these machines. Why this happens, which cars have such problems and how to avoid internal combustion engine repairs.
Why does the valve bend when the timing belt breaks
You are driving your wonderful car, and suddenly there is a knock and the car stops. This is how the belt breaks. Everything would be fine if the belt just broke, but on some engines the valves immediately bend. Why is this happening?
The fact is that when the timing belt breaks, the camshaft stops, which drives the valve, and the engine crankshaft continues to rotate and push the pistons. The valves that are about to close remain in the lowered position and the rising pistons meet them.
How valves bend:
- The timing chain or belt has broken.
- The camshaft has stopped rotating.
- The crankshaft continues to rotate and push the pistons.
- Valves that are lowered and pistons that are raised meet at top dead center (TDC).
- Pistons are stronger than valves, so pistons bend valves.
That is, if the timing is torn, the camshaft stops abruptly, and the engine crankshaft (even if it was immediately turned off) continues to rotate. The camshaft stops instantly and has no residual rotation because the return springs brake its cams. While the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine is rotating, the pistons will hit the open valves. Although the material of the pistons is stronger and stronger, it happens that the pistons themselves break from meeting with the valves.
Which engines bend valves
Here is a list of cars different brands and models in the table. Engines on the same machines can be different, so each brand will have its own table, in which there is a column indicating "bend" and a column indicating "do not bend". So let's go, let's start with the most popular cars in Russia:

Why does the timing belt break?
As the practice of breakdowns shows, belts do not break just because they are worn out or are of poor quality. There are several more reasons:
- belt wear (especially if there is even a slight misalignment and the belt touches the side of the pulley);
- if the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine is jammed;
- if the pump is stalled (the pump that drives the coolant);
- if the belt tension roller is jammed.
The new generation of motors often break down. This is due to the fact that they are being made more and more powerful. Distance between valves and pistons in top dead points are doing less and less. Therefore, even if the valves are slightly ajar and they did not have time to close by the arrival of the pistons, then their instantaneous bending occurs.
How to find out if the valve is bent on a particular make and model of car?
It's actually good question, and, all drivers need to know the answer to it. Be prepared, in the event that the timing belt or timing chain is broken, for repairs to replace valves, adjust them, and so on, or, knowing that it does not bend, do not worry once again, but carry a spare timing belt with you (if Belting).
If the instruction manual certain brand and the model is written that it does not bend and you do not trust, or this information is not indicated at all, that is, a practical method for calculating whether the valves will bend on this machine.
In order to find out, you will need:
- dismantle the casing;
- remove the timing belt;
- set the first piston to TDC;
- slowly turn the camshaft 720 degrees (that's two full turns). If the valve does not rest against the piston, then it does not reach it.
- set the second piston to TDC;
- also, turn the camshaft 2 full turnover. If the piston does not hit the valve, then everything is fine.
- find out if the valves in the engine of your car will bend according to the table, according to the manual or with your own hands;
- carry a spare timing belt with you;
- buy a belt good quality(better all the time one brand);
- Periodically check the belt tension and carry out visual inspection for cuts, scuffs, peeling of ropes;
- when buying a used car from a stranger, it is recommended to change the timing, even if former owner said he had recently replaced;

Lifan Solano according to the Chinese catalog Lifan 620, budget sedan for relatively little money. Lifan Solano almost exact copy 120 Corollas. Solano borrowed almost everything from the Corolla, suspension, engine, box, interior elements.
Lifan Solano engine this is an exact copy of the 1.6 4A-FE engine, only slightly modified, at least instead of ignition wires they put coils on each candle. The engine consumes 92 gasoline, and the tank of the car is 60 liters, by the way, the consumption does not exceed 10 liters in the city.
Engine 4A unique, it goes up to 500 thousand km without a overhaul, and after a overhaul the same amount of timing belt, if the valve breaks, it does not bend, and replacing it in comparison with the chain is mere pennies, only 4 thousand rubles, and the time is 3-4 hours . On Chinese engine candles and wires, as well as Timing belt and rollers can be replaced with European counterparts, candles can be supplied with DENSO K16R-U11 so that the engine runs without interruption, coils also need to be replaced with European counterparts. It is better to change the belt at 60 thousand km, bearings can be taken by Koyo, and timing belts and auxiliary units Sun.
It’s better to change at 60 thousand km, bearings can be taken by Koyo and timing belts and SUN auxiliary units.
Box Lifan Solano only 5-speed manual, since 2014 a variator has been installed, but these machines are rare on the secondary. Release bearing it can fail already at 30 thousand km, they change it under warranty, if the replacement is independent, then it is better to change it to a non-original one. Repair of the box is cheap, and can cost no more than 7 thousand rubles, and spare parts in bulk.
Pendant Lifan Solano, also simple, but it will start knocking already at 15 thousand km, the stabilizer struts will fail first, replacing them is about 400 rubles per piece, then ball and struts, it’s better to change immediately to branded models, do not chase the original.
If the air conditioner stops cooling, then most likely the tube that goes to the radiator has broken off, the replacement at the service is 3000 rubles.
Lifan Solano Good car, with cheap spare parts, for example, the original oil filter costs 50 rubles, and a candle 60 rubles, an air vent 100 rubles, suspension spare parts are generally a penny, but it’s better not to put the original, but branded manufacturers such as Koyo, gates, sun, 555, crt and other. There is no noise in Solano, but this is also not a problem, the car is glued in 1 day and 5 thousand rubles.
Lifan Solano can be repaired independently, suspension elements and units are easily accessible.
Lifan Solano problem only one is very thin metal, so be careful, any small blow can lead to sad consequences.
Lifan Solano is not interesting to hijackers, only to children, so the car can get by with a cheap signaling.
