Before starting assembly, make sure you have all the necessary replacement components, tools, and materials. Read the procedure description carefully and be prepared to perform the work. Among other equipment, you will also need sealants for mating surfaces that are not equipped with gaskets and for fixing threaded connections. The authors of this Manual recommend using only materials, tools, devices, and replacement components from the original manufacturer (indicated in the text).
In order to save time and minimize the risk of various kinds of difficulties, the authors of the Manual recommend installing the components in the following order when assembling the engine:
Engine 1.3 l
- a) Crankshaft;
- b) Connecting rod and piston assemblies;
- c) Cylinder head (see Part Repair without removing a 1.3 l petrol engine from a car of this Chapter);
- d) Assembling the rocker arm axle;
- e) Timing chain with sprockets (see Part Repair without removing a 1.3 l petrol engine from a car of this Chapter);
- f) Flywheel (see Part Repair without removing a 1.3 l petrol engine from a car);
- g) Oil sump;
- h) Attached components and units.
Engines 1.6 l and diesel
- a) Crankshaft;
- b) Connecting rod and piston assemblies;
- c) Oil pump (see Part Repair without removing a 1.6L petrol engine from a car or Repair without removing a diesel engine from a vehicle of this Chapter);
- d) Oil sump (see Part Repair without removing a 1.6L petrol engine from a car or Repair without removing a diesel engine from a vehicle);
- e) Flywheel (see Part Repair without removing a 1.6L petrol engine from a car or Repair without removing a diesel engine from a vehicle);
- f) Cylinder head with gasket (see Part Repair without removing a 1.6L petrol engine from a car or Repair without removing a diesel engine from a vehicle);
- g) Timing belt tensioner, toothed wheels and the timing belt itself (see Part Repair without removing a 1.6L petrol engine from a car or Repair without removing a diesel engine from a vehicle);
- h) Attached components and units;
- i) Auxiliary drive belt with pulleys and tensioners (see Part Repair without removing a 1.6L petrol engine from a car or Repair without removing a diesel engine from a vehicle).
At this stage, all serviceable and reconditioned engine components to be installed must be absolutely clean and dry. It is correct to lay out the parts in the order of installation on a clean work surface.
