Repair begins with the removal and subsequent disassembly of the engine. In order to remove the jerking of the motor, you need to set a certain clearance in the valves. Replacing spark plugs is indispensable.

If, in the process of disassembling the engine, scuffs, cracks or dents on the walls of the engine cylinders are found, then they will have to be replaced with new ones. It should be taken into account, that all cylinders of the same block should be fitted to the same size... The permissible size deviation should be no more than 0.036 - 0.072 from the norm.
