Installing
Installation is carried out in the reverse order; note the following:
Note
Renew the bolts tightened with specified tightening angle.
– Pull dowel sleeve (top right) out of cylinder block.
– Bevel the dowel sleeve with a file, as illustrated.
• Dimension -x- = 6.5 mm.
• Dimension -y- = 8 mm.
– Fit dowel sleeve on cylinder block in such a way that the bev‐
elled side points upwards.
Note
Bevelling the dowel sleeve makes it easier to fit the timing chain
cover (bottom) with the cylinder head installed.
WARNING
Wear safety goggles.
– Remove remaining sealant on timing chain cover and cylinder
block / cylinder head using rotating plastic brush or similar.
Caution
Make sure that no sealant residue gets into the engine.
– Clean sealing surfaces; they must be free of oil and grease.
– Clean any old sealing compound from the bores -arrow- in the
cylinder head gaskets.
Note
With the cylinder head installed the holes in the cylinder head
gasket are only half visible.
