Engine assembly — general information (Scorpio 1)

To achieve maximum engine life after a major overhaul with a minimum of problems, not only must all parts be assembled correctly, but all parts and components must be spotlessly clean, all lubrication channels must be clean, and lock washers and spring washers must be installed in place. Bearings and other parts with sliding surfaces must be thoroughly lubricated during assembly.

Before proceeding with assembly, replace with new bolts, studs and nuts whose threads are damaged; if possible, also replace with new spring washers.

During installation, ensure that the parts are installed in their original places, and also check the installation direction. The edges of the oil seals should be lubricated before installation. When installing gaskets, use sealant where necessary to prevent leakage.
