  Note
t  Cylinder heads which have cracks between the valve seats or between the 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.
t  After installing the camshaft, wait for about 30 minutes before starting the engine. Hydraulic valve compensation elements have to settle (otherwise valves will strike pistons).
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.
t  Renew gaskets and seals.
