Cylinder head: removing and fitting
  Note
t  Replace cylinder head bolts as a rule.
t  On assembling, replace self-locking nuts, bolts subject to goniometric tightening, as well as o-rings and gaskets.
t  The hoses must be free of oil and grease before fitting.
t  When installing an exchange cylinder head with fitted camshaft, you must oil the contact surfaces between the tappets and the cam surfaces before installing the cylinder head cover.
t  The plastic packing pieces for protecting open valves must not be removed until immediately before fitting the cylinder head.
t  After the cylinder head or cylinder head gasket is replaced, all the coolant must also be replaced.
t  Cylinder heads which have cracks between the valve seats or between valve seat inserts and the spark plug thread can be used further without reducing service life, provided the cracks do not exceed a maximum of 0.3 mm in width, or when no more than the first four spark plug threads are cracked.
