WARNING!
Wear protective gloves when working with sealant
and grease remover!
–
Clean sealing surface on cylinder head and cylinder
cover and remove sealant residues with chemical
gasket remover.
–
Ensure that no dirt and sealant residues get into the
cylinder head.
–
Degrease the sealing surfaces.
–
Apply a thin coating of sealant -D 188 003 A1- uni-
formly on the clean sealing surface of the cylinder
head cover (see grid surface in the illustration).
Note
The sealant must not be applied too thickly, as otherwise
excess sealant may penetrate into the oil bores and pos-
sibly cause engine damage.
–
Make sure all roller rocker arms are correctly posi-
tioned on the end of valve stems -1- and on the rele-
vant hydraulic supporting elements -2- and secured
with clamps .
–
Before installing the cylinder head cover, screw two
stud bolts (M6 x 70 mm) into the cylinder head.
–
Carefully place the cylinder head cover at right angles
to the cylinder wall onto the cylinder head stud bolts
-arrows- and dowel pins.
–
Tighten the new fixing screws of the cylinder head
cover diagonally and evenly from the inside to the out-
side. Tightening torque 10 Nm + torque a further
turn (90°)
WARNING!
Do not tilt the cylinder head cover!
Note
♦ After installing the cylinder head cover, allow the seal-
ant to dry for about 30 minutes.
♦ Do not rework the sealing surface of the cylinder head
cover.
♦ After installing new hydraulic supporting elements, the
engine must not be started for about 30 minutes. The
hydraulic supporting elements must „settle" (other-
wise valves would strike the pistons).
