- Place the new head gasket on the cylinder block. Make sure that the front side of the gasket is aligned with the front side of the engine. Both pins should go through the gasket.
- Check that the pin on the end of the camshaft is on top and place the cylinder head on the cylinder block so that the pins enter.
- Lubricate the threads and undersides of the cylinder head bolt heads with engine oil and screw the bolts into the holes.
- Tighten the cylinder head bolts in the reverse order to that shown in Fig. 300, in three passes to the final tightening torque of 84 Nm.
- Bolt on the front engine lift bracket.
- Apply the cylinder head cover gasket and put the cover on (the valve clearances should already be adjusted otherwise see next chapter). The contact surface on the left and right of the camshaft flange from the front side, as well as in the middle on the left and right of the camshaft, must be covered with a layer of sealant. The cover is secured with 6 washers and nuts. Tighten the nuts to a torque of 7 Nm.
- Install the middle timing belt cover and then install all the removed timing drive parts as described above.
- The remaining work is carried out in the reverse order. The following hoses must be connected: the return fuel hose to the fuel pump, two water hoses to the cylinder head, two fuel hoses to the high-pressure fuel pump.
