Servicing valve gear

Notes:

  • ◆ 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 4 turns of the spark plug threads are cracked.
  • ◆ After installing new tappets the engine must not be started for about 30 minutes (otherwise valves will strike pistons). Turn crankshaft two complete revolutions before starting.
  • ◆ Carefully apply a small amount of sealant at the four end points of the sealing surfaces on the cylinder head, using a small screwdriver=>Fig.1.
