When turning the crankshaft at the front of the engine (clutch cover end) always turn
anticlockwise.
When turning the crankshaft at the rear of the engine (alternator cover end) always
turn clockwise.
Turning the crankshaft in the wrong direction may cause the camshaft drive chain to
slip on the camshaft sprockets resulting in incorrect camshaft timing.
1. Fit a new gasket to the barrel and refit it to the crankcase (see Barrels - Installation).
2. Thoroughly clean the upper faces of the barrel, taking care not to damage the mating
surfaces.
3. Fit a new cylinder head gasket ensuring that the head to crankcase location dowels
are correctly in place.
1. Gasket
2. Dowels
4. Make sure that the cylinder head face is completely clean.
5. Carefully lower the cylinder head onto the barrels. Make sure the camshaft drive
chain is guided down to its drive sprocket on the crankshaft.
