Inspect

1. 1. Remove cylinder head
2. 2. Clean cylinder block sealing surface and all piston bases, and remove gasket residue
3. 3. Check length of width of cylinder block sealing surfaces for deformation and check for diagonal warping • Use a straightedge • Maximum unevenness 0.15 mm

4. 4. Measure piston projection • Place probe of MKM-571-B on cylinder block • Set dial gauge to zero – Note pretension • Measure piston projection – Measure all 4 pistons – Perform measurement at two different points (3 and 4) or (5 and 6) – Determine highest point by turning the crankshaft

Important. The largest piston projection determined is significant for the selection of the cylinder head gasket with the corresponding marking.

5. 5. Replace cylinder head gasket Piston projection Thickness of the cylinder head seal Code 0.020 - 0.100 mm 0.77 - 0.87 mm without hole 0.101 - 0.200 mm 0.87 - 0.97 mm one hole 0.201 - 0.295 mm 0.97 - 1.07 mm two holes • Insert guide bushing • Lay cylinder head gasket in place
