Facing cylinder head contact face - ra01006010418x(0418)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 42 other vehicles, including the 1999 Mercedes-Benz S600, 1999 Mercedes-Benz S500, 1999 Mercedes-Benz S420, 1999 Mercedes-Benz S320, and 1999 Mercedes-Benz CL600. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Engines 601, 602 (except 602.98), 603 

Preceding work:

Valves removed.

Valve guides checked.

Precombustion chambers removed.

Cylinder head pressure-tested.

Operation no. of operation texts and work units or standard texts and flat rates

IMPORTANT Machine cylinder head contact face only if porous or damaged points exist or if measuring the flatness in the longitudinal direction reveals an impermissible difference.

The top cylinder head contact face must not be machined, otherwise the basic bores of the camshaft bearings will be altered.

If cracks are suspected (internal loss of coolant), the cylinder head must be pressure tested.

Hardness test at cylinder head perform (page 4).
Parting surface (1) plane according to operating instructions of tool manufacturer.
NOTE: Observe permissible minimum height (H) and machining data.
Valve seats (2) refinish until minimum interval (a) is reached.
After assembly check engine timing.

Hardness test on cylinder head before face-milling 

General 

A loss of coolant or faults in the coolant circuit or through the cylinder head gasket can result in overheating and thus in a distortion of the cylinder head.

Subsequent face-milling only results in a leak-tight joint between cylinder head, cylinder head gasket and crankcase provided the hardness in the area of the sealing bead is greater than 70 HB.

Measuring 

The measurement is performed in the combustion chamber to a dia. 4 mm less than the cylinder bore (e.g. dia. 83 mm) at 2 points (arrows) in the direction of the engine axis and in the area of the traces of blisters in the cylinder head gasket.

The surfaces to be examined should be smoothed in one direction with a stroke using fine emery paper.
