Cylinder Head Assembly Overview






Cylinder Head Assembly Overview

When using an exchanged cylinder head with camshaft installed, the contact surfaces between the lifters and cam lobes must be lubricated before installing the cylinder head cover.

The plastic protectors installed to protect the open valves must only be removed immediately before fitting the cylinder head.

When cylinder head is replaced, all coolant must also be replaced.

Cylinder heads with cracks between the valve seats can continue to be used without reducing service life, as long as the tears have a width of max. 0.5 mm.

Do not mill the valve seats in the cylinder head; only grinding of the valves is permissible.

After installing the camshafts, the engine may not be started for approximately 30 minutes. The hydraulic equalization elements must seat themselves (otherwise the valves will crash into the pistons).

After working on the valvetrain and lifters, carefully rotate the crankshaft by hand at least 2 full revolutions before starting to be sure that valves do not strike the pistons.

Always replace gaskets and seals.

Holes = - arrow 3 -

Depending on piston projection, varying cylinder head gasket thicknesses can be installed. When replacing a head gasket, install a head gasket with the same identification.

When installing new pistons or working with a partial motor, check the piston position at TDC => [ Piston Position at TDC, Checking ] Piston Position at TDC, Checking.
