t  To carry out assembly works, fasten the engine on the assembly stand, using the Support for VW 643 or VW 643/1 -VW 313- or Rotary stand for engine and gearbox -VAS 6095-.
t  It is necessary to carefully clean the oil ducts and to replace the oil filter if, when servicing the engine, significant amounts of metal particles and detached particles are found in the oil, due to abrasion or wear resulting from seizing (for instance, from the conrods or bearing shells). This procedure prevents any consequential damage.
t  Lubricate all supporting and sliding surfaces prior assembly.
