Removing the oil filter cover
Removing the breather cover
Installing the engine on a special stand greatly facilitates the assembly and disassembly processes. Before installing the engine on the stand, remove the flywheel and the rear crankshaft sealing ring. In the absence of a stand, it is possible to disassemble the engine on the floor. Exercise extreme caution when working under these conditions.
First of all, it is necessary to remove the following components from the engine:
- oil filter;
- generator;
- power steering pump;
- power unit support brackets;
- thermostat and thermostat housing;
- pipe for the dipstick for measuring the level of engine oil;
- wiring harness and all electrical switches; and sensors;
- intake and exhaust manifolds;
- coil and spark plugs.
If only the cylinder block, crankshaft, pistons and connecting rods need to be repaired, the cylinder head, oil pan, oil pump and drive chain must be removed.
If it is necessary to carry out a complete overhaul, it is necessary to remove from the engine:
- intake and exhaust manifolds;
- drive chain and tension mechanism;
- cylinder head;
- flywheel / drive plate;
- oil pan;
- oil pump;
- pistons with connecting rods;
- crankshaft.
