Before starting work, clean the engine compartment and the outer surfaces of the engine with a degreaser.
Depending on the components you will be servicing, it may be helpful to remove the hood first to improve access (see Chapter 11). Cover the fenders to protect the paintwork.
Detection of oil, coolant, exhaust gas, and vacuum leaks indicates the need to replace the corresponding gaskets or seals. Such repairs can be performed without removing the engine. Intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, sump, cylinder head, crankshaft seals are easily accessible for this purpose.
External components such as the intake and exhaust manifolds, oil pan, oil pump, water pump, starter, alternator and fuel system components can also be removed without removing the engine.
Since the cylinder head can be removed without removing the engine, servicing the camshafts and valve train, as well as replacing the timing belt and its pulleys, can be done without removing the engine.
In the event that you do not have the necessary equipment, repair or replacement of piston rings, pistons, connecting rods and connecting rod bearings can be performed without removing the engine from the vehicle. However, for better access and to ensure cleanliness, these operations should be performed after the engine is removed. Therefore, they are described in Chapter 2B.
