Installing the cylinder head
Requirements
l The engine is installed
l The pistons are not standing at TDC
Required special tools, testing and measur-
ing equipment as well auxiliary devices and
material
♦ Guide bolts T30011/2A
♦ Screwdriver T30011/3
♦ Torque wrench
♦ Hot screw paste G 052 112 A3
♦ Wrench e.g. 3542
Notes:
♦ Cylinder head bolts should always be re-
placed.
♦ Carefully remove the remains of sealant
when repairing the cylinder head and cylin-
der block. Ensure than no long grooves or
scratches are made in the process. Any
emery paper which is used should not have
a grain size of below 100.
♦ Carefully remove lubrication and grinding
residues.
♦ Only take the new cylinder head gasket out
of its packaging immediately before it is go-
ing to be used.
♦ Handle the new gasket very carefully. Dam-
age to the silicone layer can lead to leaking.
♦ No oil or coolant should be able to find its
way into the blind holes for the cylinder head
bolts.
K - Loosen bolts -1- and -2- on the holder for
the exhaust turbocharger by about two turns
in order to avoid any stresses building up
when installing the cylinder head.
- Ensure that there are no pistons standing at
TDC.
