Installation



Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following.

When installing the engine, it is necessary to replace the self-locking nuts and bolts, which were tightened by turning them to a certain angle, with new ones, as well as the sealing rings and gaskets.

When installing, check for the presence of centering bushings that determine the relative position of the engine and gearbox.
