Checking engine parts (Escort 5)

It is recommended to thoroughly clean and wash the parts that will be used again. Removing the plugs and caps from the cylinder block and cylinder head makes them much easier to clean. All gaskets and sealing rings should be replaced each time the engine is disassembled.

Checking the dimensions given in the technical specifications and comparing them with the actual values decides whether the part can be used further, repaired or replaced with a new one. The suitability of some parts is also indicated by the condition of their surface (scratches, cavities, etc.).
