Many engine repairs can be carried out directly on the vehicle. We recommend that you thoroughly clean the engine and engine compartment before starting repair work. Depending on the type of work being done, it may be necessary to remove the hood.
Various types of leaks can be repaired without removing the engine from the vehicle, such as replacing the intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, head cover gasket, oil pan gasket, crankshaft O-rings, and cylinder head gasket.
External parts and assemblies such as intake and exhaust manifolds, oil pan, oil pump, water pump, starter, alternator, ignition distributor and fuel system components can also be removed from the engine for repair.
Since the cylinder head can be removed without dismantling the entire engine from the vehicle, the replacement of camshafts, toothed belt and toothed belt pulleys can be done on the engine installed in the vehicle.
