Cylinder head gasket
To remove and to fit Operation 3-10
Align the gasket on the dowels in the cylinder block.
Cautions:
l The gasket must only be fitted with the markings (1) facing up.
l When fitting a new gasket it must be replaced with a gasket of the same thickness as originally fitted. The
gasket thickness can be identified by the part number that is stamped on the gasket.
l The correct piston height must be maintained to prevent damage to the pistons and valves and ensure that
the engine conforms to emission legislation.
Note: Always fit dry.
