    The document provides instructions for measuring cylinder clearance and selecting the appropriate head gasket thickness. It then details the process for installing the head gaskets and tightening the head bolts in multiple steps. The bolts should initially be tightened to 30 Nm, then re-tightened to the specified torque after running the engine for 20 minutes to ensure proper clearance.

    The document discusses the process for checking cylinder clearance and fitting cylinder heads on an engine

    A special tool (C) and comparator (B) are used to check cylinder clearance

    Gaskets are inserted on the crankcase and heads are positioned and fitted using a specific tool (C). Pins are replaced with fixing screws and stud bolts are tightened by hand

    CYLINDER CLEARANCE-HEAD B

    GASKETS D
    C
    - Use special tool (C) (TABLE 11.1 REF. U) with
    comparator (B).
    A
    - Turn the first piston (A), timing side to TDC.
    - Reset the pointer of the comparator (B) with reference
    to the surface of the crankcase (D).
    - Position the feeler of the comparator (B) on the
    piston (A) and note the reading.
    - Choose the suitable head gasket following the
    table here below.

    The head gaskets can have various thicknesses, and


    can be identified by the reference marks on the same.

    The correct thickness to fit on the engine can be


    determined on the basis of the projection of the piston
    from the crankcase see above table, which in turn
    determine the cylinder clearance.
    HEADS
    Insert gasket (B) on the crankcase and position C
    heads (A).

    To fit heads (A) and gasket (B) correctly use the


    specific tool (C) (TABLE 11.1 ref. S).
    Once you have fitted the heads, replace pins (C) with
    the fixing screws and relevant ends of the side stud
    bolts , move the screws up, tightening them by hand. A
    Fit the exhaust manifold with the relevant gaskets and
    tighten nuts (A) by hand, an operation
    necessary for aligning the heads correctly.
    If you use the same head screws again: B
    lubricate all of the screws (thread and under the head),
    with molycote type GRAPID PLUS paste.

    REPLACED BOLTS ONLY IN CASE OF


    DAMAGED BOLTS (TOP AND UNDER HEAD
    BOLT DAMAGE, STRETCHED THREAD,
    ETC...)

    If you use new head screws:

    coated with an anti-seizing material.


    At this point tighten the heads following the
    specifications below.

    A
    TIGHTENING THE HEADS

    Central screws (1-----14)

    1) tighten to 30 Nm (3 kgm) in the following sequence:

    engine 4 cyl.: 3, 2, 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 7, 6 engine 6 cyl.: 11, 12, 13, 14, 10, 9, 8, 4, 3, 2, 1, 5, 6, 7

    2) using the goniometer (TAB. 11.1 rif. Q)


    order, in other words:

    from 1 to 10 for engines with 4 cylinders from 1 to 14 for engines with 6 cylinders

    3) repeat the second operation in the same way.

    Lateral screws (M1, M2)

    1) tighten all of the screws M1 to 30 Nm (3 kgm)

    2) turn all of the screws M1

    3) tighten all of the screws M2 to 30 Nm (3 kgm)

    4) turn all of the screws M2

    AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED THIS OPERATION, RUN THE ENGINE AT WORKING SPEED FOR 20
    MINUTES, THEN TURN THE ENGINE OFF.

    RE-TIGHTENING THE SCREWS AFTER RUNNING (RUN THE ENGINE AT WORKING SPEED FOR 20 MINUTES)

    Central screws (1-----14)

    Following the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. etc., loosen one screw at a time completely then tighten it with a torque of

    Lateral screws (M1, M2)

    these don't need tightening again, if necessary check the screws with a dynamometric wrench set to 90 Nm (9.2
    kgm).
