GENERAL
This repair group covers engine disassembly and reassembly. Engine removal procedures, including separating the transmission from the engine, are covered in 101 Engine Removal and Installation.
The repair information given here requires that the engine be removed from the car. The disassembly procedure should be carried out on an appropriate engine stand in a clean environment.
^ Some of the procedures require special tools.
Reconditioning procedures and specifications are not covered here. Once the engine is disassembled to the component level, refer to the appropriate repair group for applicable reconditioning information.

• The pulley end of the engine is referred to as the front. The flywheel end of the engine is referred to as the rear.
• If the engine is disassembled because of bearing failure, a thorough flushing of the lubrication system must be carried out prior to reassembly. Refer to 130 Crankcase and Crankshaft and 170 Engine Lubrication.
Some repair operations do not require engine removal and disassembly. Some of the more common engine-installed operations are as follows:
' Camshaft timing adjustment and timing chain and tension-er replacement. See 152 Camshaft Timing Chains.
• Camshafts and rocker arm replacement. See 151 Camshafts and Camshaft Cases.
• Leaky engine oil return tube replacement. See 170 Engine Lubrication.
