4. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

4.1 REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION, ENGINE

}

Suspend the engine securely from
the hoist, using approved lifting
gear.
Various fluids will be released when
fluid pipes are removed.
Collect these fluids. Personal safety
and the risk of fire should always be
considered.

Note:
Because of the large number of vehicle
specifications, it is not feasible to exactly specify
the engine removal and installation procedures
for every vehicle.
This description only includes the most important
points requiring attention.

-

Disconnect the earth lead from the battery
terminal.

-

Avoid opening fluid systems as much as
possible. If possible, remove and set aside
the engine components.

-

When removing the engine, ensure that no
parts or dirt fall into the engine, radiator or
other components. Therefore, plug all
openings that are freed.

-

Wiring harnesses are vulnerable. If
damaged, they may cause failures. Make
sure these wiring harnesses are stress-free
and clear of moving parts.

-

Fit all attachment bolts and tighten them to
the correct torque.

-

The engine should not be allowed to rest on
the oil sump. Because the oil sump is made
of sheet material, it will be severely damaged
by the engine's weight.
