CAUTION:

Clean all dirt, debris, and coolant from the engine block cylinder head bolt holes. Failure to remove all foreign material may result in damaged threads, improperly tightened fasteners or damage to components.

NOTE:
  • Do not use the cylinder head bolts again. Install NEW cylinder head bolts during assembly.
  • Do not use any type of sealant on the cylinder head gasket, unless specified.
  • The cylinder head gaskets must be installed in the proper direction and position.

    NOTE:

    The largest piston projection is decisive for the selection of the cylinder head gasket with the corresponding marking. The different between the three max. projection measurements must be no greater than 0.1 mm (0.0039 in).

    Select the cylinder head gasket with the correct identification marks (1):

    1. Piston projection 0.440 - 0.535 mm (0.0173 - 0.0211 in), choose cylinder head gasket with identification mark on Position I, thickness 1.25 mm (0.049 in).
    2. Piston projection 0.535 - 0.630 mm (0.0211 - 0.0248 in), choose cylinder head gasket with identification mark on Position II, thickness 1.35 mm (0.053 in).
    3. Piston projection 0.630 - 0.725 mm (0.0248 - 0.0285 in), choose cylinder head gasket with identification mark on Position III, thickness 1.45 mm (0.057 in).
