each index are all connected and stated in order. It
will be the complete procedure for overhauling of
the engine itself when you go through all steps in
the process.
Therefore, in this section, to conduct the particular
procedure within the flow of a section, you need to
go back and conduct the procedure described pre-
viously in order to do that particular procedure.
