2. In the absence of a stand, the engine can be disassembled by fixing it on a reliable massive workbench or on the floor. Be extremely careful! Do not allow the engine to tilt or fall when operating without a stand.
3. If you are going to purchase a remanufactured engine, first remove all external parts from the existing engine to be relocated to the replacement engine (the same as when you yourself perform a complete overhaul of the engine). These elements include the following:
- A) support brackets for various elements (oil filter, starter, alternator, power steering pump, etc.);
- b) fuel filter/thermostat housing (chapter 3);
- V) oil dipstick tube/sensor;
- G) all electrical switches and sensors:
- d) intake and exhaust manifolds, if applicable (chapter 4B or 4B);
- e) flywheel (chapter 2B or 2B).
Note. When removing external components from the engine, pay special attention to features that may be useful or important when installing the removed components in place. Consider installation position of gaskets, seals, spacers, pins, washers, bolts and other small parts.
4. If you are going to purchase an incomplete engine (which includes a cylinder block / crankcase, crankshaft, pistons assembled with connecting rods), you should also remove the cylinder head, sump, oil pump and timing belt.
5. If you are planning a complete overhaul, the engine can be disassembled and the internal components removed in the following sequence, referring to the chapter 2B or 2B (unless otherwise prescribed):
- A) intake and exhaust manifolds, if applicable (see chapter 4B or 4B):
- b) timing belt, matching toothed pulleys and tensioner (-And);
- V) cylinder head;
- G) flywheel;
- d) oil pan;
- e) oil pump;
- and) pistons with connecting rods (paragraph 10);
- h) crankshaft (paragraph 11).
6. Before starting disassembly and overhaul operations, make sure that all necessary tools and fixtures are available. For more information, see paragraph «Tools and fixtures».
