Installation

Installation is made in sequence, return to removal. In this case, it is necessary to pay attention to some features:

• be sure to install new gaskets;
• After installing the turbocharger, remove the power connector from the solenoid valve on the high pressure fuel pump. Crank the engine with the starter until the oil pressure indicator light goes out. This is necessary in order for the oil to reach the turbocharger bearings, otherwise they may fail.

Starting the engine after a major overhaul

1. After installing the engine in the car, check the oil and coolant levels.

2. Remove the connector from the engine stop solenoid valve and crank the engine with the starter until the emergency oil pressure lamp goes out. Connect the connector to the engine stop solenoid valve.

3. Start the engine and check the tightness of all systems. Engine smoke is normal, as the oil that got on the parts during engine assembly burns out.
