Engine assembly order after performance of capital repairs

Before assembly make sure available all necessary spare parts, tools and materials. Attentively study the description of the procedure and prepare for performance of the forthcoming works. Among the other equipment also sealants for interface of the surfaces which are not equipped with laying and fixing of threaded connections will be required. Authors of this manual recommend to use only company materials, devices and replaceable components which are specially intended for application on the Citroyon cars.

For saving of time and minimization of risk of different emergence of difficulties authors of this manual recommend to make installation of components in the following order at assembly of the engine:
   a) A bent shaft (see Installation of a bent shaft and check of working gaps of radical bearings);
   b) Conrod and piston assemblies (see Installation of conrod and piston groups on the engine and check of working gaps of conrod bearings);
   c) The oil pump (see. The repair procedures which are not demanding extraction of the engine from the car - the petrol engines or Repair procedures which are not demanding extraction of the engine from the car - diesel engines);
   d) The case pallet (see. The repair procedures which are not demanding extraction of the engine from the car - the petrol engines or Repair procedures which are not demanding extraction of the engine from the car - diesel engines);
   e) A flywheel / a driving disk (see. The repair procedures which are not demanding extraction of the engine from the car - the petrol engines or Repair procedures which are not demanding extraction of the engine from the car - diesel engines);
   f) A head of cylinders (see. The repair procedures which are not demanding extraction of the engine from the car - the petrol engines or Repair procedures which are not demanding extraction of the engine from the car - diesel engines);
   g) Natyazhitel of a gas-distributing belt, cogwheels and actually a GRM drive belt (see. The repair procedures which are not demanding extraction of the engine from the car - the petrol engines or Repair procedures which are not demanding extraction of the engine from the car - diesel engines);
   h) Hinged components and units.

At this stage the serviceable and restored components of the engine which are subject to installation all have to be absolutely pure and dry. It will be correct to spread out details as installation on a pure working surface.
