Removing
1. Using a bar wrench, remove the three mounting head bolts.
2. Remove the cover from the cylinder head - if necessary, tap it around the perimeter with a soft-faced hammer.
3. Remove the gasket and check its condition. In case of defects, prepare a replacement gasket.
4. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces of the cover and cylinder head, removing all traces of oil from them.
Installation
Installation is in the reverse order. Pay attention to the following points:
- a) Before installing the gasket, lubricate the contact surfaces of the camshaft bearing caps with the head with a suitable sealant;
- b) Make sure the gasket is installed correctly. Lower the cover onto the head very carefully, trying not to displace the gasket.
- c) All fasteners must be tightened to the required torque.
