Important

Be sure to select the correct gasket (Thinner for LEV engines)

4. Place the cylinder head in position. Use new bolts. Tighten in the order shown.


Tightening torques:

Step I: 25 Nm (18.5 lbf ft)

Step II: Tighten a further 90°

Step III: Tighten a further 90°

Step IV: Tighten a further 90°

5. Place the exhaust camshaft in position. Check that it is placed correctly. Lubricate generously with oil.

Cylinders 2-4-6 (front)

The locating pins for the intake camshaft should be in line (downwards) with the inside bolts for the camshaft bearing caps.

The guide pin for the exhaust camshaft should point straight up from the plane of the cylinder head.

Take note of the markings on the bearing cap and cylinder head. Apply a very thin layer of 74 96 268 Thread locking adhesive to the front contact surface of the bearing cap with the cylinder head. See illustration.

Fit the stuffing box and bearing caps and tighten the bolts. Tighten them in steps of 1/2 to 1 turn.

Tightening torque: 8 Nm (6 lbf ft)

6. Fit the inner (rear) timing cover.


7. Fit the camshaft sprockets correctly in relation to the locating pins. Check the position against the markings in the timing cover.

The number in the sprocket hub should match the number on the camshaft.

Tightening torque: 50 Nm (37 lbf ft) + 60°

Warning

The jaws of the open-ended spanner used as a counterstay when fitting the camshaft sprockets must not be too long. There is otherwise a risk of damaging the metal so that the tappets become locked.

Important

To reduce the risk of hoses mounted on the delivery side of the turbocharger coming loose due to low friction at high air pressure, the hoses and connecting pieces must be cleaned thoroughly before fitting. Use a rag dampened with 93 160 907 Motip Dupli cleaning agent to wipe clean inside the ends of the hoses. Clean the connecting pieces as well. If hose clips are rusty or damaged, they must be replaced so the correct clamping force is maintained.
