1. Removal of engine body components

1) Remove the fixing screws of the cylinder head. Note that the screws should be loosened from the ends to the middle, and the screws should be removed three times.

2) Lift the cylinder head. Remove the cylinder head gasket and pay attention to the installation orientation of the cylinder head gasket. Loosen the oil drain screw of the oil pan and release the oil from the oil pan.

3) Turn the engine over and remove the oil pan fixing screws (note that the screws should also be loosened from the ends to the middle), remove the oil pan and the oil pan seal. Loosen the oil filter and fix the oil filter, remove the oil filter, the oil pump sprocket and the oil pump.

2. Disassembly of the engine piston connecting rod set

1) Turn the crankshaft so that the engine 1 and 4 cylinder pistons are at the bottom dead center. Remove the fastening nuts of the connecting rods of the 1 and 4 cylinders separately, and remove the bearing cover of the lower connecting rod. Pay attention to the pairing marks of the connecting rods and place them in order. Gently push out the 1 and 4 cylinder piston rod assemblies with a hammer, and manually catch the piston rod assembly at the cylinder outlet and pay attention to the piston installation direction.

2) Replace the bearing cover of the connecting rod, the connecting rod bolt and the nut in the original position. The connecting rods of different cylinders cannot be exchanged with each other. Use the method to disassemble the piston rod set of 2 and 3 cylinders.
