  Note
t  Cylinder head and cylinder head cover must be renewed together.
t  After installing camshafts wait for approx. 30 minutes before starting engine. The hydraulic compensation elements must 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  Always renew gaskets and seals.
