GENERAL INFORMATION

The engine is taken from a motor compartment by rise. Works should be performed with the assistant having certain skills. Previously it is recommended to remove coolant from the conditioner (it is carried out at car repair shop). At dismantle of the M40 engine it cannot be overturned for the period of more than 10 min., otherwise from hydropushers oil will flow out that can become the reason of serious breakages.
