Cylinder head - Z 10 XEP, Z 12 XE and Z 14 XEP engines

The lower valve spring plate in the cylinder head is omitted in the above-mentioned 2nd generation engines.

An optimised cylinder head design guarantees the centring and seat of the valve spring in the cylinder head, rather than the lower valve spring plate.

This must still be installed when service work is performed on engines with a lower valve spring support.
