Most people who are going to rebuild their own engine will be tearing it apart before taking it to a machine shop and then reassembling it when the machine work is done. When tearing it apart, try to work in an area that you can get dirty and where bolts and other small items won't get lost. | Most people who are going to rebuild their own engine will be tearing it apart before taking it to a machine shop and then reassembling it when the machine work is done.

It will make your assembly go much smoother and easier. Take your time. Double check everything. Keep parts, tools, equipment and work surfaces clean. Remember clean, clean, clean! Plastic trash bags of various sizes are excellent for completely covering an engine on an engine stand. Also the smaller ones are great for heads and any other item you need to keep dust free. Sweep your floor with a sweeping compound or use damp sawdust to keep the dust down. |
