  2. Gradually releasing, turn out bolts and nuts, крепящие cast section of the pallet to the block of cylinders / to a cover or the case of the oil pump, картеру transmissions. If the pallet "has become attached" to a lining, обстучите its hammer with soft the brisk.

On models 1.7 of l SOHC the released pallet should be shifted towards a forward stretcher.

  1. On models 1.7 of l SOHC turn out bolts of fastening of the bridge of covers of radical bearings and remove last together with pallet moulding.
  1. On engines of 1.7 l DOHC remove attached to the block of cylinders from below маслоотражательную a plate.

Engines of 2.0 l

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Disconnect electroconducting from the gauge of temperature of oil and (at a corresponding complete set) the gauge of level of oil.
  1. Turn out bolts of fastening of a flange of the pallet to картеру manual transmission.
  1. Gradually releasing, turn out bolts of fastening of the pallet to the basis of the block of cylinders / to the oil pump. In case of need slightly обстучав the pallet a hammer with soft brisk, separate it from the engine and take from under the car.

All engines

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Check up a condition of the mesh filter маслозаборника, — in case of need remove it together with a sealing ring and wash out in solvent.


Installation

Engines of 1.7 l SOHC

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Carefully smooth out interfaced surfaces of the bottom and main sections of the pallet картера. Impose a pillow of suitable hermetic on an interfaced surface around its joint with a cover of the oil pump and a cover of the back radical bearing.
  1. Lay a new sealing lining on an interfaced surface of the main cast section of the pallet and place last on a forward stretcher.
  1. Establish into place the bridge of covers of radical bearings, screw NEW fixing bolts and tighten them with demanded effort.
  1. Press cast section of the pallet to the engine, screw and by hand tighten all bolts of its fastening.
  2. Tighten fixing bolts with demanded effort.

If the cast section of the pallet is established on the engine removed from the car and separated from transmission, it is necessary to make sure that the section flange from outside a flywheel was combined with a corresponding flange of the block of cylinders.

  1. Tighten with demanded effort bolts of fastening of casting of the pallet to картеру transmissions.
  2. Connect to the pallet масловозвратную a tube turbocompressor, using new consolidations. Tighten a bolt of fastening of a tube with demanded effort.
  3. Fill directing tube measuring щупа in cast section of the pallet, having replaced sealing rings, connect a tube to the block. Tighten a bolt of a basic arm of a tube on the block with demanded effort.
  4. Connect electroconducting to gauges of position of a cranked shaft and oil temperatures. Fix conducting in a basic arm.
  1. Establish sealing rings on the tube end маслозаборникаи connect a tube to cast section of the pallet. Tighten NEW bolts of fastening of a tube with demanded effort.
  1. Carefully smooth out interfaced surfaces of the main and bottom sections of the pallet, completely having released them from oil traces, and a dirt.
