Installation is carried out in the reverse order, noting the following: |
Caution Avoid damage to sealing surfaces. |
t
| Carefully remove sealant residue from cylinder head and cylinder block. |
t
| Ensure there are no scratches or scrapes caused. |
Avoid damage to cylinder block. |
No oil or coolant must be allowed to remain in the blind holes for the cylinder head bolts in the cylinder block. |
Ensure that cylinder head gasket seals properly: |
t
| Carefully remove any remaining emery and abrasive material. |
t
| Do not remove new cylinder head gasket from packaging until it is ready to be fitted. |
t
| Handle the gasket with care to avoid damaging the silicon layer or the ridged area of the cylinder head gasket. |
Avoid damage to open valves. |
t
| When installing an exchange cylinder head, the plastic protectors fitted to protect the open valves should not be removed until the cylinder head is ready to be fitted. |
t
| Turn the engine carefully at least 2 rotations to ensure that none of the valves make contact when the starter is operated. |
|
Note t
| Renew the bolts tightened with specified tightening angle. |
t
| Renew seals, gaskets and self-locking nuts. |
t
| Note the different sealants for sealing surfaces and cylinder head bolts. |
t
| Secure all hose connections with the correct hose clips (same as original equipment) → Parts catalogue. |
t
| If installing an exchange cylinder head, the camshafts must be set to »TDC« and the mark on the old chain sprockets must be transferred to the new chain sprockets (note factory colour marking on chain sprockets). |
t
| If an exchange cylinder head is installed, all the contact surfaces between the supporting elements, roller rocker fingers and the running surfaces of the camshaft must be oiled before the cylinder head cover is installed. |
t
| After fitting a new cylinder head or cylinder head gasket, change the engine oil and coolant. |
