To fit

  1. Carefully blow the bolt hole clean in the cylinder block with compressed air.
  2. Clean the cylinder bore, cylinder head and cylinder block sealing surfaces from any gasket remains. Check with a steel rule that the cylinder head and cylinder block are flat and the sealing surfaces are not damaged.
  3. Check the marks on the pulley and timing cover to make sure the engine is zeroed.
  4. Place a new gasket on the cylinder block. Raise the sprocket and tighten the chain guides together in order to get the cylinder head in place.

    IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of hoses mounted on the delivery side of the turbocharger coming loose due to low friction at high air pressures, the hoses and connecting pieces must be cleaned thoroughly before fitting. Use a rag dampened with 93 160 907 Motip Dupli cleaning agent to wipe clean inside the ends of the hoses. Clean also the connecting pieces. If hose clips are rusty or damaged, they must be replaced with new ones to maintain the correct clamping force.
