Installing Cylinder Head Cover

Information 

• Plastic clips can be damaged once the wiring harness holder has been undone and must be checked to ensure they can be used again! 

Information 

• The eyelets must not be inadvertently secured using aluminum screws! => Aluminium screws would break off and the suspended engine would fall down!
