Installing   Note t  Renew the cylinder head bolts. t  Renew self-locking nuts and bolts. t  Renew bolts which are tightened to a specified angle as well as oil seals and gaskets. t  If repairing, carefully remove any remaining gasket material from the cylinder head and cylinder block. Ensure that no long scores or scratches are made on the surfaces. t  Carefully remove any remaining emery and abrasive material. t  No oil or coolant must be allowed to remain in the blind holes for the cylinder head bolts in the cylinder block. t  Do not remove new cylinder head gasket from packaging until it is ready to be fitted. t  Handle gasket very carefully. Damage to the silicone coating or the indented area will lead to leaks. t  Cylinder heads with cracks between the valve seats may be used without reducing engine life, provided the cracks are small and not more than 0.5 mm wide. t  The cylinder heads of diesel engines must not be machined. t  When installing a replacement cylinder head with fitted camshaft, the contact surfaces between hydraulic tappets and cam running surfaces must be oiled after installing the cylinder head. t  The plastic protectors fitted to protect the open valves should not be removed until the cylinder head is ready to be fitted. t  Secure all hose connections with the correct type of hose clips (same as original equipment) → Parts catalogue. t  After fitting a new cylinder head or cylinder head gasket, change the coolant and engine oil. t  After working on the valve gear, turn the engine carefully at least 2 rotations to ensure that none of the valves make contact when the starter is operated.

–  Check whether the camshaft and the crankshaft are positioned at “TDC”: l  The cams for cylinder 1 must point upwards evenly on camshaft -arrows-.

l  The crankshaft sprocket must be locked with the crankshaft stop -T10050-. l  The markings on the toothed belt sprocket and the crankshaft stop -arrow- must align. The pin of the crankshaft stop must engage in the aperture in the sealing flange.

–  Note identification markings on cylinder head gasket. 1 -  Part No. 2 -  Production code (can be disregarded) 3 -  Holes   Note t  If the cylinder head gasket or cylinder head is renewed, be sure to install a gasket with the same identification. t  If parts of the crankshaft drive have been renewed, the new cylinder head gasket must be selected by measuring the piston projection at “TDC” → Chapter. –  Fit cylinder head gasket. l  Note position of centring sleeves in cylinder block. l  Check installation position of cylinder head gasket: the word “oben” (top) or the Part No. should face towards the cylinder head. –  Fit the cylinder head. –  Check that all washers for cylinder head bolts are fitted in cylinder head. –  Insert new cylinder head bolts and tighten finger-tight.

–  Tighten cylinder head bolts in 4 stages in the sequence indicated: 1.  Tighten with torque wrench to 40 Nm. 2.  Tighten with torque wrench to 60 Nm. 3.  Turn 90° (1/4 turn) further using a rigid wrench. 4.  Turn 90° (1/4 turn) further using a rigid wrench.   Note Cylinder head bolts do not have to be torqued down again later after repair work.
