6 Lubricate the pushrods with engine oil and
insert them in the cylinder block.
7 Place the oil splash shields in position on
the cylinder heads and fit the rocker shaft
assemblies. Guide the rocker arm adjusting
screws into the pushrod sockets (see
illustrations).
8 Tighten the rocker shaft securing bolts
progressively to the specified torque.
9 Refit the inlet manifold, using a new gasket.
Do not refit the rocker covers yet.
10 Adjust the valve clearances (Section 39).
11 Refit the spark plugs.
12 Refit the rocker covers, using new
gaskets. The adhesive side of the gaskets
should face the rocker cover.
13 If the engine is in the vehicle, reverse the
preliminary steps. 2.4 & 2.9 litre engines
14 Refitting the cylinder heads to these
engines is essentially a reversal of the removal
procedure but also refer to information given
for the 2.8 litre engine whilst noting the
following points.
15 Always use new Torx type cylinder head
bolts. Oil them and allow them to drain. When
fitted the word OBEN should be visible on the
new gaskets.
16 Tighten the bolts in the specified
sequence (as for the 2.8 litre engine) to the
correct torque. The final stage in the tightening
procedure is by the angular method. Use a
disc similar to the one shown or make a paint
mark at the same point on each bolt head to
ensure that each bolt is turned through exactly
the same number of degrees (see
illustration).
17 As a result of the bolt tightening torque
used and the elasticity of the bolts, no further
tightening is required after the initial running-in
period.
18 Apply jointing compound to the areas
where the inlet manifold and cylinder heads
meet and locate a new gasket in position.
Make sure that it is the correct way around.
Tighten the inlet manifold bolts to the specified
torque and in the sequence shown (see
illustrations).
19 Check that No 1 piston is still at the firing
point (12° BTDC) and fit the distributor.
20 Adjust the valve clearances.
21 Fit new rocker cover gaskets, peeling off
the self-adhesive shield before sticking the
gaskets to the covers. Note the aluminium
spacers in the gaskets to prevent
overtightening
(see illustration).
22 Use a new gasket at the plenum chamber
and tighten the fixing bolts to the specified
torque (see illustration).
23 Refit the alternator and power steering
pump (where removed) and tension the
drivebelts.
24 Reconnect the fuel lines and secure them
in position with new clips. Reconnect all
coolant and vacuum hoses and electrical
connectors. Refill the engine with coolant and
reconnect the battery.
25 Switch on the ignition and bleed the fuel
system by operating the vent valve on the fuel rail.
26 Run the engine up to normal operating
temperature and then check the ignition
timing.
