CYLINDER HEAD

Removal of the cylinder head requires the removal/refitting of the engine and transmission assembly (see

Section 10-2 NT 3107A)

The bolts can be reused if the length under the head does not exceed 118.5 mm (otherwise change all the

bolts).

Cylinder head tightening procedure

REMINDER: to achieve correct tightening of the bolts, remove any oil from the cylinder head securing holes

using a syringe.

Do not coat new bolts with oil. However, if the bolts are reused, it is essential to coat them with engine oil.

Tighten all the bolts to 2 daN.m in the order indicated below.

15153-1R

Check that all the bolts are correctly tightened to 2 daN.m, then carry out angular tightening (bolt by bolt) of

165°±6°.

No retightening of the cylinder head bolts following application of this procedure.
