Precautions when flushing the engine
1. Protect the timing belt and alternator drive belt from splashes and direct exposure to detergent.
2. Do not allow water or detergents to come into contact with the attachment.
3. Do not allow water to enter the air intake ducts.
4. When washing engine parts, do not allow them to collide, which may damage their mounting surfaces and disrupt their fit, which may lead to damage to the engine.
Repair of threaded holes
Threaded holes in all engine parts can be repaired by cutting new threads, except for the holes for fastening the cylinder head cover.
