Installing the cylinder head

Note: There must be no oil or coolant in the blind holes of the cylinder head bolts.

A new cylinder head gasket should only be removed from the packaging immediately before installation.

Handle the new gasket with extreme care. Its damage will lead to leaks in the future.

Replace cylinder head bolts.

Put a clean rag into the cylinders so that dirt and emery residue do not get between the cylinder mirrors and the pistons.

Check that dirt and emery residues do not get into the coolant either.

Carefully clean the seating surfaces of the cylinder head and cylinder block. This should not leave long scratches and burrs (when using sandpaper, its grain size should be at least 100).

Carefully remove the remnants of emery and sanding paper, as well as rags from the cylinders.

If the crankshaft was scrolling, bring the piston of the first cylinder to TDC and again slightly turn the crankshaft back.

Install a new cylinder head gasket. Marking (part number) should read well.



Pay attention to the alignment pins in the cylinder block (pic. 2.167).

Install the cylinder head.


Insert the cylinder head bolts and tighten them by hand.



Then tighten the cylinder head bolts in the sequence shown (pic. 2.168).



Install the cylinder head cover.

Install a toothed belt and adjust the valve timing.

Install poly V-belt.

Further installation and assembly is carried out in the reverse order of removal.

Follow all necessary instructions after connecting the battery.

Fill with coolant.

Note: After clearing the fault memory, an OBD code must be generated.
