2. Place the engine on strong supports.
3. Carefully remove the gearbox (see "Removal and installation the gearbox" in the subsection "Transmission"). Make sure that the splined end of the input shaft does not rest on the petals of the diaphragm spring.
4. Remove the clutch from the engine (see "Clutch repair" in the subsection "Clutch").
5. Remove the camshaft drive belt, tension roller and spacer washer installed underneath it (see "Replacing the camshaft drive belt and adjusting the belt tension").
6. Remove the camshaft sprocket (see "Replacing the cylinder head gasket").
7. Remove four bolts (three of them also have a water pump attached) and the nut securing the rear cover of the camshaft drive belt, remove the cover.

8. Insert a screwdriver between the pump housing flange and the block, slide the pump off its seat. Remove the water pump.

9. Remove the head from the cylinder block (see "Replacing the cylinder head gasket").
10. Unscrew the sixteen oil pan mounting bolts and remove it together with the gasket.

11. Remove the three oil receiver mounting bolts (spring washers are installed under the bolt heads) and take it off.

12. Unscrew the bolt (a spring washer is installed under the bolt head) fastening the oil level sensor in the oil pan…

13. …and remove the sensor from the cylinder block. If necessary, turn the crankshaft so that the shaft counterweight does not interfere with removing the sensor.

14. Turn the crankshaft so that the piston being removed is at the bottom dead center (BDC). Unscrew the two connecting rod cap fastening nuts.

15. Remove the connecting rod cap. If the cap is difficult to remove, first knock it off with light hammer blows. The cylinder number on the cap may not be visible, in which case mark the cap with the cylinder number.

16. Push the connecting rod into the cylinder with the handle of the hammer and carefully remove the piston with the connecting rod from the cylinder. In doing so, make sure that the lower head of the connecting rod does not touch the cylinder mirror, otherwise the mirror can be damaged. Remove the remaining pistons in the same way.

17. Remove the flywheel (see "Removal, installation and inspection of the flywheel").
18. Remove six bolts (spring washers are installed under the bolt heads), remove the crankshaft rear oil seal retainer and gasket.

19. Remove the toothed pulley from the crankshaft. If the key does not fit tightly in the groove of the crankshaft, remove it so as not to lose it.

20. Remove six bolts (spring washers are installed under the bolt heads), remove the oil pump and gasket.

21. Remove two bolts securing the five main bearing caps.

22. Remove the covers.

23. Remove the crankshaft.

24. Remove the crankshaft thrust half rings on the middle support.

25. Remove the liners from the main bearing caps and from the block beds. If the liners are not to be replaced, as you remove them…

26. …mark the inserts on the non-working side relative to the covers and beds.

27. If it is necessary to remove the generator brackets 1 and engine mounts 2, unscrew the three bolts securing them and the water pump supply pipe, unscrewing the two bolts securing it.

28. Remove the piston rings using a special puller. If you don't have one, remove the rings from the piston by carefully spreading the ring locks.

29. Remove the oil scraper ring expansion spring from the piston.

30. Remove the retaining rings holding the piston pin from both sides of the piston. The piston bosses have notches to facilitate ring removal.

31. Using a suitable drift, push the pin out of the piston and remove the piston from the connecting rod.

32. Remove liners 1 from connecting rod 2 and its cap 3. If the liners remain on the crankshaft, remove them from the shaft. If you do not intend to replace the liners, mark them on the non-working surface relative to the connecting rods and caps as you remove them.
