alrite

 

iv recently bought a 1.6 engine to tinker rebuild,problem is when i got the engine there were wires that were already unplugged and hoses and i dont no where there from or what they do?

 

i also dont really no where to start tbh think of abit scared of ripping it to bits and not knowing where it all goes back

is the best thing for me to start by doing is to get a haynes manual

 

many thanks

Just take things off and label them up as you go. They're pretty simple really its just remembering how it all goes back together. But if you've labeled everything up properly its loads easier.

if i was you, i'd start off by cleaning the engine as working on it dirty isnt a good idea..

 

also most of the parts only go in one place, but yeah makes it 10x easier if you label everything and put them in little bags..

 

haynes for torque settings and stuff.. and make sure when you start on the cylinder head, valves, shims, go back in the same place after you've changed the valve stem seals, number everything, same with bottom end, caps need to go back in the same place, number them too..

 

make sure when working on it everything is clean, you dont want grit/dust in the engine, if you want to leave the engine for a few days/weeks make sure everything is covered up as, again dust/grit isnt good inside the engine

 

hoses are easy, but if you get stuck just say on here

Haynes manuals are pretty good guides, but the pictures can be confusing and some of the sections doens't seem to read anything like it actually goes, but none the less helpful.

 

It's also handy if you've got the space to lay everything out like an exploded diagram on the floor as you take it apart makes it clear how it's going back together too.

 

Good luck and as said above, cleaning before you start makes things much easier down the line.
