	Clean
10	Clean sealing surfaces on cylinder head (1) and crankcase.	Remove sealant Do not use any sharp-edged tools or abrasive paper. This may otherwise cause damage to sealing surfaces and, subsequently, engine and environmental damage. Mechanical processing and/or cleaning of sealing surfaces by means of spot grinding with abrasive paper or other abrasive materials to remove sealing residue is not permitted. Even the smallest amounts of corundum and grinding particles as well as wear debris that enter into the engine oil chamber, bearing points, or combustion chambers lead to damage and thus cause engine damage. The sealing surfaces must feel even after treatment. The sealing surfaces need not be metallic bright; thin layers of firmly adhering silicone sealant may remain. Cleaning is permitted only with the approved adhesive and sealant remover. Observe processing information from manufacturer.	AR01.00-P-0050-01A

11	Blow out threaded holes of cylinder head bolts (2) in crankcase with compressed air and clean away engine oil and coolant.
	Check
12	Check sealing surfaces at cylinder head (1) and crankcase for cracks and unevennesses and replace if necessary.	A possible distortion of cylinder head (1) in longitudinal or transverse direction is offset again during reassembly by tightening cylinder head bolts (2). Check relevant sealing surfaces of engine for unevenness, score marks, etc. If unevenness, score marks, etc. are present: ↓ Replace affected component.
13	Install in the reverse order.
14	Change engine oil and oil filter element.
