An engine teardown is where you disassemble the whole engine. It's easiest if you have the engine stable on an engine stand.

Notes:

• Take lots of photos!
• Keep all parts in clearly labelled Zip Lock bags.
• Using a Dymo can help you keep track of things.
• Try not to make things worse. (If something doesn't want to come apart don't force it unless you are sure you want to break it).
• Follow the manual! (Head Disassembly Block Disassembly)
• Take your time. If something isn't obvious ask on a forum.
