Disconnect the negative cable from the battery
Remove the oil pan protection plate and the right engine mudguard
We remove the cylinder head to replace the gasket, repair the valve drive mechanism and the head itself, as well as during complete disassembly of the engine
The gaskets should be replaced when changing the intake pipes and when burnout or wear of the gaskets is detected
The oil pump drive gear must be replaced when the teeth are worn out, and when the splines that connect the gear to the oil pump shaft are damaged or worn out
The chain tensioner is located inside the front part of the cylinder head and is attached to it
Remove the cylinder head cover (see Replacing the cylinder head cover gasket).
The main reason for replacing the chain is excessive stretching.
When the camshaft drive chain is stretched too much, the chain starts to "rattle" when the engine is running.
Replacing the front crankshaft oil seal
The front oil seal must be replaced if oil leaks through the edge of the oil seal.
We remove the oil separator to flush the crankcase ventilation system. As a result of operation, resinous deposits from crankcase gases accumulate in the hoses and parts of the system.
The engine with the gearbox and clutch forms a power unit - a single block, fixed in the engine compartment on three elastic rubber-metal supports
Change the oil on a fully warmed-up engine
We carry out the work on an inspection pit or lift
We remove the oil pan protection plate and the engine mudguard.
Removing the oil pan and engine oil pump on a car
Usually the oil pump is removed for replacement or repair.
Before disassembling, clean the engine from dirt
We have considered engine disassembly in the article – “Engine Disassembly”
After disassembly, thoroughly wash the parts with kerosene, blow and dry them with compressed air (especially the oil channels of the parts).
We carry out the work on an inspection pit or lift
We remove the hood and spare wheel.
We dismantle the spare wheel supports.
If necessary, the engine piston group can be dismantled on the vehicle without removing the engine
We carry out the work on an inspection pit or lift.
Usually we remove the master cylinder reservoir for cleaning or other work
You need to wash the reservoir with a soapy water solution, then dry it.
