Installing

Note

Avoid damage to sealing surfaces.

Carefully remove sealant residue from cylinder head and cylinder block.

Ensure that no long scores or scratches are made on the surfaces.

Avoid damage to cylinder block.

No oil or coolant must be allowed to remain in the blind holes for the cylinder head bolts in the cylinder block.

Ensure that cylinder head gasket seals properly:

Carefully remove remains of emery and abrasives.

Do not remove new cylinder head gasket from packaging until it is ready to be fitted. Handle the cylinder head gasket very carefully to prevent damage to the silicone coating or the indented area of the gasket. Note

Renew bolts that are tightened with specified tightening angle.

Renew self-locking nuts as well as gaskets, seals and O-rings.

When installing a replacement cylinder head, the contact surfaces between hydraulic compensation elements, roller rocker fingers and cams must be oiled before installing the camshaft housing. Secure all hose connections with the same type of hose clips as original equipment → Electronic Parts Catalogue.

Do not reuse coolant which has been drained off.
