If there is no special stand for disassembling the engine, disassemble it on a wooden stand. Do not dismantle directly on the concrete floor, as concrete particles will become a source of contamination. When the parts are removed from the engine, wash them with kerosene. Never immerse parts with internal lubrication channels in kerosene. Such parts should be thoroughly wiped with a cloth soaked in kerosene, and the lubrication channels should be cleaned with a wire rope and blown with compressed air.
Small parts should be stored in suitable containers. Thus, the parts will not be lost, and they will not have to be searched for during subsequent assembly. When disassembling the engine, keep the old gaskets. They will serve as a template for making gaskets if new ones are not available. Although the parts listed below can be removed separately (without removing the engine) it is recommended to remove them when dismantling the engine after the engine has been removed:
- alternator
- ignition coil, spark plug wires
- thermostat
- elements of the fuel injection system
- intake and exhaust manifolds
- oil filter
- fuel pump
- engine mounts
- flywheel or drive plate
- water pump
Complete engine disassembly in the following order:
- intake and exhaust manifolds
- toothed belt, tensioner and pulleys
- cylinder head
- flywheel or drive plate
- oil pan
- oil pump
- pistons with rods
- crankshaft
- camshaft and hydraulic tappets
