Important!

Aluminium-magnesium materials.

No steel screws/bolts may be used due to the threat of
electrochemical corrosion.

A magnesium crankcase requires aluminium screws/bolts
exclusively.

Aluminium screws/bolts must be replaced each time they are 
released.

The end faces of aluminium screws/bolts are painted blue for
the purposes of reliable identification.

Jointing torque and angle of rotation must be observed
without fail (risk of damage).

Necessary preliminary tasks:

Remove cylinder head cover.

Remove adjusting unit for inlet camshaft.

Remove intermediate lever.

Adjust valve timing.
