The key steps for a successful installation of your new engine: a practical guide
1. Preparation before installation
Before starting the operation, make sure you have the right engine, compatible with your vehicle. Review the technical documentation and provide a clean and organized workspace.
Prepare all the required tools: torque wrenches, jack stands, screwdrivers, as well as the necessary protective equipment. Good organization allows you to optimize each phase of assembly and avoid any mistakes.

Disconnect the battery from the vehicle to prevent electrical incidents. Elevate the car with sturdy jack stands and make sure it is stable before starting to remove the engine.
Compliance with safety protocols is essential to carry out this operation with complete peace of mind.
