3 Ensure that the threads of the studs are clean and in good condition. If the studs were removed earlier, fit
the four studs in the cylinder block. The studs are fitted with the non-threaded area (C1) at the end of the stud
in the cylinder block. Tighten the studs to 25 Nm (18 lbf ft) 2,5 kgf m.
Warning! The gasket has sharp edges which can cut your hands. Protect your hands with gloves.

Caution: To ensure that the gasket remains clean, do not remove it from its container until it is to be fitted.
4 Check that the top face of the cylinder block is still clean.
5 Remove the cylinder head gasket from its container and put it in position on the two pins (D1) in the cylinder
block. The part number, stamped on the gasket, must be to the top when the gasket is fitted.
6 Clean and dry the tappets and their parent bores in the cylinder head. Fit the tappets (E1) into their parent
bores.

7 If the surface of the cylinder head gasket is damaged, the gasket must be renewed. Therefore, it is important
to ensure that the tappets do not fall onto the gasket when the cylinder head is put in position. To do this, use
six pieces of rubber hose (F2) to retain each tappet (F4). Cut a piece out of one end of each hose (F3); push
this end onto the end of the tappet (F1). The gap in the hose is necessary because there is very little clearance
between the cylinder head and the tappet.
