How to replace the engine in the car

When someone thinks about changing the engine of the car, it most likely means that the previous engine for some reason refused. It is unlikely that many car enthusiasts will change the work engine simply from entertainment. And therefore, such a trouble suffered, it is necessary to comprehensively examine the issue of changing the main unit in the car.

First, decide on the model of the standard motor installed on your car. This can be found with the help of documents on the car, on the Internet or in an authorized service center. You should then pick up the engine, which in all parameters can replace the available, and decide on the place of its purchase. You can order an engine in a firm that is engaged in the delivery of auto parts, in your service center, or buy a used engine for the cargo. The engine itself is notable, and considering his weight, the price along with the delivery, especially the new models of cars, will be quite high. So a used engine is a good opportunity to save.

Cut

Decide how you will shoot the engine from the car. The item is not from the lungs and remove it independently do not even count. You will need a winch in order to raise the engine from the car, or to keep it on the weight when you unscrew the last mounts and then lower down. The car follows in this case to raise with the auto shift to get the old engine, and then put a new one in its place. In short, it is necessary to decide what exactly on your car model will be easier. You will also need overalls, as the work is not the cleanest, and a variety of tools.

Before starting disconnecting the engine from other parts of the car, it should drain the oil and gasoline from it, turn off the fuel pump, the cooling system and drain all the fluids. Next, unscrew and disconnect all filters, containers, generator, belts, candles, carburetor and other parts. If you are not sure of your own and are not familiar with the internal device of the car, it is better not to start, give it to those skilled in the art. This is especially true of the owners of new foreign cars, which includes on-board computer or "smart defense". Turning off the engine with a handicraft way can entail irreversible consequences, and your car will become simply scrap metal. On some cars, there are rather complex attachments of the type of stars that you do not remove without special tools at all.

Carefully examine the car's device - perhaps, together with the disconnection of all parts from the engine, you will also have to remove the exhaust pipe from the car and the gearbox. It is likely that they are also somehow fixed with the engine, together with it and fall when you unscrew the last bolts and remove the engine from the car. Secure the lifting mechanism on the engine so that it is in the tension. Unscort and disconnect all the systems from the engine and or lift the unit, or lower it to the floor, after reloading the pallet.

Using the winch, install a new engine in place and make all connections in the reverse order. For reliability you can even fix all the actions on paper. Then you need to pour back all the fluids, of course, updating them. Upon completion of all the work, you thoroughly check whether you did everything right and securely, do not forget whether to pour oil or coolant. Since when improved and the absence of any important component of the engine may fail. And all the work will have to start first, not to mention the lost money.

Installing a new engine on a car is only part of the work. Do not forget about making changes to the documentation: the engine number is listed in the passport of your car. If you changed the engine to exactly the same model, its data must be reinstalled in the serviceport. And in case the engine you replaced the more powerful, it is already considered to be amended in the design of the car. Such changes can be performed only by special permission.
