Engine assembly — general information

To achieve maximum engine life after an overhaul with a minimum of problems, not only must all parts be assembled correctly, but all parts and components must be spotlessly clean, all lubrication channels must be clean, and lock and spring washers must be in place. Bearings and other parts with sliding surfaces must be thoroughly lubricated during assembly.

Before proceeding with assembly, replace with new bolts, studs and nuts, the threads of which are damaged, if possible, also replace with new spring washers.

During installation, make sure that the parts are installed in their original places, also check the direction of installation. The lips of the oil seals must be lubricated before installation. When installing gaskets, use sealant where required to prevent leakage.
