Installing
Prerequisites
l  Sealing surfaces must be free of oil and grease.
l  When retaining frame or camshaft is installed, No. 1 cylinder cams must point upwards.
l  The pistons must not be positioned at TDC.
Procedure
–  Install support elements in cylinder head and fit respective roller rocker finger onto respective valve stem end and support element.
   
–  Ensure that all roller rocker fingers contact valve stem ends -1- correctly and that they are clipped into their respective support elements -2-.
–  Oil camshaft running surfaces.
–  Carefully place camshaft in its bearings in the cylinder head.

–  Apply an even, slightly raised sealant bead in clean groove of retaining frame -arrow-. Spread sealant evenly over sealing surface.
  Note
t  Sealant must not be applied too thickly. If necessary wipe away excess sealant with a lint-free cloth.
t  The retaining frame should be positioned and bolted on without interruption because the sealant begins to harden immediately when the sealing surfaces come into contact with each other.
t  Observe the use-by date of the sealing compound.
–  Insert rear sealing cover flush.
–  Put retaining frame in position and lightly tighten nuts for bearings 2 and 4 diagonally and alternately. Then likewise lightly tighten nuts of bearings 3, 1 and 5.
