Installation Procedure

1. Thoroughly clean the top of the cylinder block and the bottom of the cylinder head. Ensure that there is no debris in the cylinder bores.

Note: A number with four digits is stamped on the gasket in order to ensure the correct positioning of the gasket. This number faces the cylinder head. Make sure that the cylinder head is the correct thickness before installation.

2. Place the cylinder head gasket on the dowels on the top of the cylinder block. Do not use any gasket sealant or compound on the cylinder head gasket.
