Refitting

  • Fit a new cylinder head gasket on the crank case.

The new gasket must have the same thickness as the one removed.

Note: The cylinder head gasket is Astadur type. The gasket, due to the special material it is made of, undergoes a polymerising process when the engine is running,that considerably hardens it during use.
