Removing and installing cylinder head

Installing cylinder head

‒ → To centralise head, screw guide studs from 3070 into threaded bolt holes 8 and 10
‒ Place cilinder head gasket on block
‒ Fit cylinder head, install remaining 8 bolts and tighten by hand

‒ Remove the guide studs using tools from 3070 and replace with cylinder head bolts.

Note:

On engines equipped with centralising pins, centralising with guide bolts from 3070 is not necessary.

‒ Tighten cylinder head bolts in three stages. See illustration for tightening sequence.

Important!
Socket head cylinder bolts should be replaced by multiple tooth bolts.


Tightening torque: Cold engine
1st stage	=	40 Nm
2nd stage	=	60 Nm
3rd stage	=	1/2 turn (180°)

In a single movement with rigid spanner (2 x 90°) is permissible.

Notes



◆ → Loosening cylinder head bolts: reverse sequence. ◆ Retightening of cylinder head bolts after repair is not necesary. ◆ Do not re-use engine coolant (renew).
