Cylinder head gaskets of various thicknesses are available. Dependent on the piston
projection, a certain thickness is assigned to the engine. This is indicated by indentations
on the cylinder head gasket.
CAUTION: Thoroughly clean the gasket and mating faces. Do not use any sharp
object for cleaning.
The cylinder head gasket is an MLS (multi-layered steel) gasket. The gasket consists of
three steel layers. The steel layers have an outer covering of rubber. Because of this
design, the longevity of the gasket is increased, and because the gasket does not settle
during installation, the cylinder head bolts can be inserted with lower clamping force.
However, because of the rubber surface, the gasket is also more susceptible to grooves,
and therefore it must be cleaned without using sharp objects.
Crankshaft oil seals
NOTE: The rear crankshaft oil seal is supplied with an oil seal carrier. It must be aligned
using the tool shown.
CAUTION: If the support ring is removed too soon, the oil seal will be compressed
and made unusable.
The front and rear oil seals are made of PTFE and must be free from oil when installed.
Both oil seals are supplied with a support ring as a spare part. This must not be removed
until after assembly, when it may drop out of the oil seal of its own accord.
