Assembly overview - cylinder head
Note
♦ Renew cylinder head bolts.
♦ Always renew self-locking nuts, bolts which have been tight‐
ened with turning further angle, as well as oil seals and
gaskets.
♦ The plastic protectors fitted to protect the open valves must
only be removed immediately before fitting the cylinder
head.
♦ After fitting a new cylinder head or cylinder head gasket, the
engine oil and coolant must be changed.

Checking cylinder head for distortion
– Use straight edge 500 mm -VAS 6075- and feeler gauge to
measure cylinder head for distortion at several points.
♦ Max. permissible distortion: 0.05 mm

Removing and installing cylinder head
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Engine bung set -VAS 6122-
♦ Standard blade scraper (blade width min. 40 mm)
Removing
Note
♦ Before the cylinder head is removed, the engine support and
engine mounting must be reinstalled temporarily, because
the eyes of the support bracket are secured to the cylinder
head.
♦ Fit the cable ties in the original position when installing.
♦ Seal open channels of intake and exhaust system with suita‐
ble plugs from engine bung set -VAS 6122-.
♦ Cover the openings in the gearbox with a cloth to prevent
any coolant from getting into the clutch housing.
– Remove air filter housing ⇒ page 443 .
– Unscrew bolt -arrow- on left and right.

Installing
Install in reverse order of removal, observing the following:
NOTICE
Using unauthorised sanding or abrasive media may lead to
secondary damage such as, for example, damage to the tur‐
bocharger or the conrod bearings.
– Do not use sandpaper, grinding wheels, abrasive or scour
pads or any other sanding or abrasive media.
– Sealing surface (see fig.) must not project.
– Discolouration (dark spots, see fig.) do not need to be
removed.
– When removing the sealant residue, make sure no loose
particles get into the open channels of the engine.
– Ensure that all adjacent workspaces are clean, and that
none of the above mentioned sanding or abrasive media
are used.
– Do not use any other means rather than a standard blade
scraper to remove the sealant residue from the cylinder
head and cylinder block.
Only use the blade scraper at a flat angle and with care; the
sealing surfaces must not be damaged!
– Remove any loose remains using a lint-free cloth.
– If necessary, remove oil or coolant from the blind holes of
the cylinder head screws.
– Do not remove new cylinder head gasket from packaging
until it is ready to be fitted. The coating and the indented
area of the cylinder head gasket must not be damaged.
– Position cylinder head gasket.
– Note centring pins in cylinder block -arrows-.

– Check installation position of cylinder head gasket. Charac‐
teristic: the part number should be legible from the inlet side.
– If crankshaft has been turned in the meantime, position cyl‐
inder number 1 piston to TDC and then turn crankshaft back
slightly. When doing so, ensure that timing chain is not dam‐
aged.
– Fit cylinder head.
– Insert and tighten cylinder head bolts. Tightening sequence
⇒ Fig. ““Tightening sequence for cylinder head”“, page 144
Note
♦ If a new cylinder head is installed, contact surfaces between
roller rocker fingers and running surface of cam must be
oiled.
♦ After fitting a new cylinder head or cylinder head gasket, the
engine oil and coolant must be changed.
♦ Renew bolts that are tightened with turning further angle.
♦ Renew gaskets, oil seals and self-locking nuts.
♦ Hose connections and air duct pipes must be free of oil and
grease before assembly.
♦ Secure all hose connections with the correct type of hose
clips (same as original equipment) ⇒ Electronic parts cata‐
logue (ETKA).
♦ Spray the worm screws of the used hose clips with penetrat‐
ing spray before installing.
– Install camshafts, but do not fit camshaft timing chain yet ⇒
page 207 .
– Support engine in its installation position again ⇒ page 51 .
– Removing engine mounting and engine support.
– Now, install camshaft timing chain ⇒ page 210 .
The remaining assembly steps are basically a reverse of the
dismantling procedure, when doing this note as follows:
– Change engine oil ⇒ Maintenance; Booklet ; Engine oil:
Draining; Renewing oil filter and replenishing engine oil.
– Fill with new coolant ⇒ page 278 .

Note
In addition to the compression test, a pressure loss test can al‐
so be performed using pressure loss tester -VAS 522 001-. The
corresponding procedure is described in the operating manual
of the pressure loss tester.
