Preliminary Work
- Danger of material damage due to blocked oil bores/oil ducts
→ Absolute cleanliness is essential when working on the engine.
→ Lay removed engine parts on a clean base and make sure to cover them.
- Risk of squashing
→ Wear personal protective gear.
→ Get someone to help if necessary.
- If cold or differently tempered components are sealed to each other by applying a sealant, adhesion problems or leaks can result because of condensed water forming or components becoming distorted.
→ All components must be at least 17°C.
→ Components must not be too hot (distortion).
→ Spare parts stored in cold or heat (strong exposure to sunlight) must be at room temperature, or must have the same temperature as other components, before installation.
- Residual fluid (fuel, oil, Pentosin, coolant, etc.) will emerge even after a long time when disassembling and assembling the engine.
→ Place a drip tray under the engine at the assembly support.
→ Have a sufficient number of cleaning cloths ready.
→ Close off engine openings using stoppers.
Information
- Open connections and lines must be closed off using suitable stoppers or caps.
Information
- Carry out all engine repairs only using the specified tools.
- Only these tools have been tested and approved.
Information
- Photos taken with a digital camera are helpful for dealing with complicated line routing (engine wire harness).
- For details, see 975219 "Removing and installing engine wire harness".
