Is my 92 loyale with original engine OHV or OHC? I'm doin my distributor and need to know. thanks

OHC and it uses a crank angle sensor (engine is an EA82)

The crank angle sensor cannot be rebuilt (effectively), go to a junkyard and find one if you think it is bad.

You should also get an error code on the FI system if you have a bad CAS.

OHC and it uses a crank angle sensor (engine is an EA82)

thanks so much, now i can get back in the garage

I just looked in the brochure section here on the board and the 1991's had an OHC engine? Was there any changes from 1991 to 1992?

 

Good Luck

The EA82 engine remained virtually unchanged from 85-94 aside from induction systems, piston height, and head design.

Am I the only one that thinks... both? The cam is definatly Over Head Cam. The are no push rods per say and the valve stems point up twoard the cam... so arent they "Over Head Valves" ?

The correct terminology is OHC, yes the valves are on top, but to avoid the page-long explination of how the automotive terminology came about, just know that OHV engines have timing gears and/or a timing chain between the cam and crankshaft with lifters, pushrods, and rockers, while OHC engines do not. There are NO pushrods on OHC engines - they have rockers and lash adjusters (not lifters, though similar). The reason OHC engines are not consitered OHV engines is because the OHV term was used to differentiate between the aforementioned setup and the flathead design (like most lawnmower engines have these - valves mounted on the side - also (infrequently) called sidevalve engines). The term OHV came about when the OHV design really began replacing flatheads in the '40s and '50s. A OHC engine cannot have a flathead design, so it is understood that the valves are on top. It is one of those cases where the words Over Head Valve do not simply mean that the valves are on top, but the particular OHV design (so it is consitered technically incorrect to refer to an OHC engine as OHV). If it is OHC, we already know where the valves are.
