Valve Train, Servicing



WARNING:
- Do not re-use any fasteners that are worn or deformed in normal use.
- Some fasteners are designed to be used only once, and are unreliable and may fail if used a second time. This includes, but is not limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, circlips and cotter pins. Always follow the recommendations - replace these fasteners with new parts where indicated, and any other time it is deemed necessary by inspection.


CAUTION: After installing new hydraulic valve lifters the engine must not be started for about 30 minutes (otherwise the valves will strike the pistons). Turn the crankshaft two complete revolutions by hand before starting.

Note:
- Cylinder heads which have cracks between the valve seats or between the valve seat inserts and the spark plug threads can continue to be used without reduced service life, if the cracks do not exceed a maximum of 0.3 mm (0.012 inch) in width, or when no more than the first 4 turns of the spark plug threads are cracked.
- Carefully apply a small amount of sealant D 454 300 02 at the four end points of the sealing surfaces on the cylinder head, using a small screwdriver Fig. 1.
