- use recommended materials for professional repairs and genuine spare parts;
- observe tightening torques;
- follow the instructions for parts that require mandatory replacement after removal, installation and replacement recommendations;
- to ensure a reliable connection, clean and degrease the parts to be installed with glue.
Caution: To ensure a seal, the mating surfaces must be clean, dry and free of oil (don't touch them with your fingers).
Do not apply any mechanical impact to the mating surfaces of aluminum parts, as any damage to them may lead to fuel leaks.
Install parts and assemblies in the same position as they were installed at the factory (for example, heat shields, bushings for electrical wiring and pipelines).
Do not apply too much sealant to the mating surfaces to avoid clogging the engine oil supply lines or cooling systems.

Applying too much sealant can cause it to be squeezed out when filling the fastening parts. Sealant getting into the coolant can cause damage to some units and assemblies (engine, radiator, etc.)
The repair methods are developed taking into account the use of special tools. Thus, to ensure the safety of the work and high quality, these methods should be applied using special tools.
Attention. When removing the internal combustion engine, it is strictly forbidden to use the engine oil pan as a support. Its deformation can lead to engine failure: due to blocking the oil receiver and due to the oil level rising above the permissible level and, as a result, cracking in the block.
