Which component installation should directly follow the flywheel installation?

After the flywheel installation, the next logical step in the assembly process is the installation of the ignition module. The ignition module plays a critical role in the starting and operation of the engine, as it regulates the spark timing and ignition sequence. Positioning the ignition module after the flywheel ensures that the necessary connections can be easily made and that the module is correctly aligned with the engine components that it interacts with, particularly given the role the flywheel plays in generating magnetic fields for triggering ignition.

Moreover, many ignition systems rely on the flywheel's rotation for generating a signal. Thus, it is essential to install the ignition module next to ensure it functions effectively, as it will rely on the flywheel's movement to initiate the ignition process.

Other components, while also important, do not have the same immediate dependency on the flywheel's installation as the ignition module does in the context of the assembly process. For example, the spark plug and fuel line installations typically occur later when the engine is more fully assembled and ready for functional testing, and the cylinder head would generally be installed earlier in the process as it forms part of the engine block assembly.
