0

Warning! In order to prevent oil leaks developing between the cylinder barrel and the crankcase, every time the cylinder head is removed, it is essential to remove also the cylinder barrel/piston in order to be able to clean the crankcase and cylinder barrel, to renew, if necessary, damaged gaskets and O-rings and to apply new liquid gasket (Refitting the cylinder/piston assembly).

Before refitting the cylinder head assemblies, fit new head gaskets (C) and check that the locating dowels (A) and bushes (B) are installed (Cylinder/piston assemblies).



Fit the cylinder head onto the studs and lower it down onto the cylinder barrel.

Using tool no. 88713.2676 in conjunction with a torque wrench, gradually tighten the cylinder head nuts to the specified torque in a crosswise sequence (Engine torque settings).
