Engine assembly sequence (Skoda Favorit)

1. Before beginning assembly, make sure you have all the new parts you need and all the tools ready. Read all the procedures to familiarize yourself with the work. In addition to the usual tools and materials, you will need a blocking compound. You will also need a sealant to apply to the separating surfaces where no gaskets are used.

2. To save time and avoid problems, the engine assembly can be performed in the following order:

• a) Crankshaft (Chapter 18).
• b) Piston/connecting rod assemblies (Chapter 19).
• c) Cylinder head (Section 2A, Chapter 6).
• d) Camshaft and tappets (Chapter 9).
• e) Drive chain and sprockets (Section 2A, Chapter 7).
• f) Flywheel (Section 2A, Chapter 12).
• g) Pallet (Section 2A, Chapter 10).
• h) External engine components.

3. At this stage, all engine components must be absolutely clean and dry, all faults must be eliminated, and the assembled parts must be placed on a clean work surface.
