Cylinder head
Ifthesurface ofthecylinderheadisdeformed,atten itbyremoving
0.2mmofmaterialatmost.
Alwaysreplacetheseal.Seegs46-47-48-49-50whenselectingthe
thickness.Theboltsmustbetightenedindifferentphasesfortheva-
riousengines,incompliancewiththeordershowninthegure:
Firsttightenthe4screwsM10,thenthe2sidescrewsM6.
Lubricatetheshanksofthebolts,undertheirheadsandthewashers
withengineoil.Donotusetoomuchoil.Oilthatdepositsinthethre-
adedholeonthecylinderblockcouldbecomepressurizedduringthe
tighteningphase,sensiblydiminishingthedrivingforce.Alwaysmake
surethattheholesonthecylinderblockaredryandclean.
