2. Wash each component in kerosene as you remove it.
3. Never immerse parts with oil grooves in kerosene (such as crankshaft and camshaft) if you are unable to remove all solvent residues before assembly (for example, compressed air). To clean these parts, use a rag soaked in kerosene. The lubrication grooves can be cleaned with a wire. If compressed air is available, all parts can be dried and the lubrication grooves can be blown out.
4. Reusing old gaskets is a false economy. To avoid possible troubles, always use new gaskets when assembling the engine.
5. Do not throw away old gaskets, sometimes it is not possible to immediately find a replacement, and the old gasket can be used as a template.
6. It is best to turn the engine over immediately. When the crankshaft can be removed, the engine can be placed on its side and all other work can be done in this position.
7. Wherever possible, retighten nuts, bolts and washers. This will help avoid loss and confusion. If they cannot be accommodated, place them in a sequence that will ensure correct assembly.
8. You must also have a valve bevel machine, a valve spring puller, and a torque wrench, along with all other tools and equipment required in the following Chapters.
