Disconnect the gear control:
- at the position of the gearbox output lever af-
ter releasing the gaiter,
- at the level of the gear lever after removing
the central heat shield.
Pull the control lever (2) towards the rear of the
vehicle.

Fit tool Mot. 1379 onto the sub-frame and take
the weight off the right-hand engine mounting,
using the threaded rod (1).

Remove:
- the mounting bolts (3),
- the sub-frame mounting bolts, inserting the
threaded rods Mot. 1233-01 as you go.

REFITTING (special notes)
Refit the cylinder head gasket selected previous-
ly. This is centred by two dowels at (C).
99173-1R
Bring the pistons to mid-stroke position to
prevent them from coming into contact with the
valves during the tightening of the cylinder head .
Centre the cylinder head on the dowels.
Lubricate the threads and under the heads of the
mounting bolts.
Tighten the cylinder head (see section 07
"Tightening the cylinder head").
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Refit the timing belt, (see method described in
section 11 "Timing belt").
Fill and bleed the cooling circuit , (see section 9
"Filling -bleeding").
MEASURING THE THICKNESS OF THE CYLINDER
HEAD GASKET
Checking piston protrusion
Clean the piston heads in order to eliminate any
traces of deposits.
Turn the crankshaft in its operating direction
once, to bring piston n° 1 close to
TDC .
Fit tool Mot. 252-01 on the piston.
Fit tool Mot. 251-01, complete with dial gauge
Mot. 252-01. on the plate Ensure that the dial
gauge measuring pin is in contact with the cylin-
der block; then locate the piston
TDC.
NOTE
: All measurements are to be carried out in
the longitudinal axis of the engine, in order to eli-
minate any errors due to tilting of the piston.
99173R
Measure the piston protrusion.
ONLY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE
DIMENSIONS OF THE PISTON WITH THE
GREATEST PROTRUSION.
For a maximum piston protrusion:
- lower than 0.868 mm, use a gasket marked by
a tab with two holes ,
- included between 0.868 mm and 1mm, use a
gasket marked by a tab with one hole,
- greater than 1mm, use a gasket marked by a
tab with three holes. F8Q Engine

Disconnect the battery.
CHECKING THE VALVE CLEARANCE
Remove the air filter housing along with the cy-
linder head cover.
Place the valves of the cylinder concerned at the
"end of exhaust - beginning of inlet" position and
check the clearance .
