ADJUSTMENT OF VALVE ROCKERS (IF
NECESSARY)
Partly refit the suspended engine mounting ti-
ming cover on the engine using two bolts.
Bring the engine to TDC , cylinder n. 1 in ignition
phase .
Turn the crankshaft clockwise (viewed from the
timing side ) to reach the first reference mark.

Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Remove the tool retaining the engine on the sub-
frame, Mot. 1379.
NOTE : tightening the inlet manifold :
- progressively hand tighten the six nuts until
the inlet manifold comes into contact with the
cylinder head, then tighten them to a torque
of 1.5 daN.m,
- fit the upper bolts and tighten them to a tor-
que of 0.9 daN.m.
Fill and bleed the cooling circuit.
Adjust the accelerator cable.

CHECKING THE GASKET FACE
Check for gasket face bow, using a straight edge
and a set of shims.
Maximum deformation: 0.05 mm.
No regrinding of the cylinder head is permitted.
REFITTING (special notes)
Remove the cylinder liner brackets Mot. 588.
Check for the presence of the centring dowel (A).
98713R1
Position the cylinder head gasket.
Grease the threads and under the bolt heads .
Refit the cylinder head (shortest bolts on the inlet
side ).
Tighten the cylinder head (see section 07
"Tightening the cylinder head").
Refit the timing belt , (see section 11 "Timing
belt").
Correctly refit the heat shields.
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Fill and bleed the cooling circuit, (see section 19
"Filling and Bleeding").

Open exhaust valve method
Bring the exhaust valve of cylinder n° 1 to the fully open position, then adjust the inlet valve clearance for
cylinder n° 3 and the exhaust valve clearance for cylinder n° 4.
Follow the same method for the other cylinders, in the order shown by the table below.
Inlet valve to be adjusted. Exhaust valve to be adjusted. Exhaust valve to be opened.
