 – the soaking-up and final collectors;
 – forward covers;
 – chains and asterisks;
 – pump of cooling liquid;
 – head of cylinders;
 – oil pump;
 – conrod and piston group;
 – the crankshaft with radical bearings;
 – cam-shaft;
 – rollers and yokes (except M40);
 – hydropushers and levers of pushers (M40);
 – crackers of springs of valves and spring;
