How to Assemble a Car Engine
The process of assembling a car engine can seem daunting, but with the right tools and techniques, it’s not too tough. In this guide, we’ll show you how to do it step-by-step.
1. Open the hood of your car and locate the engine assembly area. This will be either on the front or back of the vehicle.
2. Check to see if the engine is already assembled. If it isn’t, locate the engine block, pistons, rods, crankshaft and camshafts and place them in their respective positions on the block. Make sure all bolts are tightened down properly before continuing.
3. Place the oil pan over the top of the engine block and place the bolts that hold it in place into their corresponding holes in the block. Tighten them down using a wrench.
4. Next, place the intake manifold over top of the oil pan and secure it with four bolts that pass through its eight holes. Again, use a wrench to tighten them down evenly.
5. Next, place the air cleaner box over top of the intake manifold and secure it with six bolts that pass through its six holes. Again, use
