NOTE:

A second technician is needed to remove the cylinder head.

-- Move the cylinder head from the rear toothed belt guard toward the left and remove the tensioning roller at the same time.

-- Be careful not to damage the turbocharger oil return line.

-- Lay the cylinder head down being careful not to bend the oil return line. Place a piece of wood under the exhaust manifold if necessary.

CAUTION:

Risk of damaging the glow plugs when removing the cylinder head.

Do not lay the removed cylinder head on the sealing surface with the glow plugs installed otherwise the glow plugs will protrude slightly past the sealing surface.
