3.2.3. Major repairs – the general instructions
THE GENERAL DATA

Objective indicators of the general condition of the engine, in necessity of major repairs of the engine with full dismantling, results of measurements of pressure of oil and a compression in cylinders are specifying. The gauge of pressure of oil on models М10 will screw in the left back part of a head of cylinders, on models М20 – in the block of cylinders under the oil filter, on М40 – in a back part of the case of the oil filter. For pressure measurement turn out the gauge and screw the believed manometre.


The prevention

At major repairs of the engine all hoses of system of cooling, drive belts, the thermostat, the oil pump and the pump of a cooling liquid are subject to obligatory replacement. Before performance of works define a condition of the block of cylinders as acquisition of the restored engine, instead of repair available can appear more expedient.
