Chapter 1 Gasoline Engine

Section 1 Overview
BYD473QA/QB gasoline engine adopts electronically controlled fuel injection system, which is
developed by BYD and featured by sequential multi-point fuel-injection and advanced
self-diagnosis function. The engine has high power per liter, low fuel consumption, low noise, low
pollution and compact profile. BYD473QA/QB engine can optimize running under all working
conditions, allowing good performance of the BYD G3 AUTO in the aspects of safety, drivability,
economic and environmental performance.

Section 2 Cylinder Head

2.1 Adjust Valve Clearance
Notice: valve can not be adjusted when the cylinder head temperature is over 38°C.
1. Remove the cylinder head cover.
2. Rotate the crankshaft until the number one piston is at TDC. “UP” mark on the camshaft
sprocket shall be on the top, and TDC groove on the camshaft sprocket shall be aligned with
the cylinder head’s upper edge.
UP mark

DTC groove

3. Choose a proper feeler gauge for the valve you will check.
Intake valve clearance: 0.15mm～0.18mm Exhaust valve clearance: 0.23mm～0.28mm
4. Insert the feeler gauge between the regulating screw and valve stem end, and slide the gauge
back and forth; a slight resistance shall be felt.
5. If the resistance is too large or small, loosen the lock regulating screw, and rotate the regulating
screw with a screwdriver until you can fill appropriate resistance when sliding the feeler gauge.
