Cylinder Head, Removing And Installing: Installing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Always replace the bolts.

There must be no oil or coolant in the blind holes for the cylinder head bolts in the cylinder block.

Only unpack new cylinder head gasket immediately prior to installation.

Handle new gasket with extra care. Damaging will lead to leaks.

Stuff clean cloths into cylinder so that no dirt or abrasive powder can get between cylinder wall and piston.

Do not allow dirt or abrasive powder to get into coolant either.

Carefully clean the sealing surfaces on the cylinder head and on the cylinder block. Make sure that no long scrapes or scratches result. When using sand paper, grit must not be below 100.

Carefully remove metal particles, emery remains and cloths.

In the event the crankshaft has been rotated in the meantime:

-- Set piston of cylinder 1 to TDC and turn crankshaft back again slightly.

-- To center, install the :3450/2A in the front outer holes for the cylinder head bolts.
