Supporting the Engine on the Body

Supporting the engine on the body

Caution: Danger of injury from falling loads!
^ Drive line components (engine, transmission, etc.) can fall down.
^ Before starting work, check the body for structural damage (accident, corrosion, etc.). The load capacity of the wing mounting points must not be restricted.
^ Do not apply strong forces (e.g a high screw torque) to supported units.
^ Units must not be supported on the body over an extended period of time.

Note: The engine must tee supported on the body for some repair work on the front axle and engine bearings.








Special tools required

Supporting the engine





1. Remove design cover of cylinder bank 5 - 8. Unscrew the four fastening screws on the design cover.





2. To do this, lift the cover slightly with both hands on the side pointing towards the intake system until it is released from its retainer.





3. Lift the front of the design cover and remove it.





4. Insert eyebolt 9700 in the opening on cylinder head 5 - 8.
5. Position the suspending device on the inner side of the wing, near the radiator tank, and align it. Tighten the two wing nuts.





6. Engage the suspending device in the eyebolt and tighten the wing nut.








7. Insert an M10 screw through the torque support bracket and secure it with a nut. Then attach the hook of suspending device 2024 A. If the hook is too short, lengthen it with a suitable spring hook or chain. Tighten wing nut.
