CYLINDER HEAD OVERVIEW
Note. When installing a replacement cylinder head, all of the contact surfaces between the supports, roller rocker arms and cam running surfaces on the camshaft must be lubricated before installing the cylinder head cover. The plastic protectors installed to protect the open valves must only be removed immediately before installing the cylinder head. Replace the cylinder head bolts. If the cylinder head is going to be replaced, then it is also necessary to replace all the coolant.

Checking the Cylinder Head for Distortion
Check the cylinder head at multiple points for distortion using a straight edge 500 mm -VAS 6075- and feeler gauges.
Scheme 125
- Maximum permissible distortion: 0.1 mm
Replace the cylinder head if the maximum distortion is exceeded.
VALVETRAIN OVERVIEW
Note. Cylinder heads with cracks between the valve seats, or between the valve seat and the spark plug threads, can continue to be used without reducing the service life, as long as the cracks have a Max. width of 0.3 mm, or only the first 4 threads of the spark plug threads are cracked. The cylinder head and guide frame must be replaced together. Do not start the engine for approximately 30 minutes after installing the camshafts. The hydraulic lash adjusters must seat themselves (otherwise the valves will crash into the pistons). After working on the valvetrain and lifters, carefully rotate the crankshaft by hand at least 2 full revolutions before starting to be sure that valves do not strike the pistons. Always replace the gaskets and seals.
