Order of dismantling of the engine by preparation it to capital repairs

It is the simplest to carry out dismantling of the engine, having installed it on the portable assembly stand. Such adaptation can always be borrowed rather cheap in a workshop of car service. Before fixing the engine at the stand, it is necessary to remove from it a flywheel / a driving disk and a back epiploon.

If an opportunity to use the stand is absent, dismantling should be made, having placed the engine on a strong workbench, or having reliably arranged it on a firm floor of a garage. During the work without stand you watch that the engine incidentally did not overturn.

If it is planned to make replacement of the engine by restored, remove with old all hinged units and external components and transfer them to the replaceable block. In number such, subject to shift, components enter:
    The generator with arms; Components of systems of decrease in toxicity of the fulfilled gases; The Distributor / bobbin assembly and spark plugs with VV wires; The Thermostat with a casing cover; Water pump; Components of system of injection (MFI); Inlet pipeline and final collector; Oil filter; Support of a suspension bracket of the power unit; Assembly of coupling (RKPP); Flywheel / driving disk; Back plate of the engine.

At removal from the old engine of external components try to remember characteristics of their installation. Fix landing provisions of laying, epiploons, remote rings and plugs, pins, arms, washers, bolts and other fine details in a notebook.

At the choice of the scheme with use of the reduced set of the block consisting of the block of cylinders with established in it by a bent shaft and conrod and piston groups remove from the old unit also a head (i) of cylinders, the pallet of a case and the oil pump.

When carrying out complete capital repairs of the old unit, make its dismantling and take all internal components. The optimum order of removal of components at implementation of the procedure of dismantling of the engine is given below:
    Inlet pipeline and final collector(s); Cover (and) heads of cylinders; GRM drive Covers with bolts; The Forward cover (i) and components of the GRM drive (a gas-distributing belt / chain with gear wheels / asterisks); Head (i) of cylinders; Case Pallet; Oil pump; Balancing assembly (4-cylinder models); Conrod and piston assemblies; The Back epiploon of a bent shaft with the holder; Bent shaft and radical bearings.
Before starting dismantling of the engine, prepare materials and tools which will be required at assembly of the unit:
    Standard set of the metalwork tool; A Set of cardboard or plastic containers / plastic bags for organized storage of small components; The Scraper for cleaning of the interfaced surfaces; The Vertical drill for removal of step wear in the top part of cylinders; The Stripper for dismantle of a pulley of a cranked shaft / a vibration damper; Set of micrometers; Telescopic nutromer; Dial measuring instrument of plunger type (DTI); The Tool for compression of valvate springs; Hon for processing of mirrors of cylinders; The Tool for a clearing of flutes under installation of piston rings; Electric drill; Set of taps and lerok; Wire brushes; Cylindrical brushes for a clearing of oil galleries; Solvent.
