Fig. 46. Sequence of loosening the camshaft bearing caps
- remove the camshafts. To avoid deformation of the shafts, loosen the bearing caps in a certain sequence (see Fig. 46). Accordingly, loosen the bearing cap nuts in the specified sequence by half a turn so that the nuts can be unscrewed by hand. Mark the caps and remove them one by one. Carefully remove both camshafts and remove the radial sealing rings;
- remove the plate tappets one by one and set them aside in the sequence required for installation or mark them;

Fig. 60. Sequence of unscrewing the cylinder head mounting screws. Tighten the screws in the reverse order
- remove the cylinder head assembly. To do this, unscrew the screws in the sequence shown in Fig. 60. After removing the dipstick tube, remove the cylinder head (using a rubber hammer if necessary) and place it on two wooden blocks;
Note: The cylinder head bolts on these engines can only be used twice. Mark them with one or two punch marks. If the bolts already have two punch marks, they have already been used twice.
- if the surface of the cylinder head has been ground, the transitions between its surface and the combustion chambers must be treated with sandpaper to eliminate irregularities, but without rounding them off;
- to install, you need to turn two guide bolts. On one side of the bolt there should be an M10 thread, on the other - a sawn slot for a screwdriver. Screw the bolts into two corners of the cylinder head;
Note: When ordering a cylinder head gasket, be sure to specify the engine displacement, as different sealing gaskets are used.
- two fitted bushings are installed in the cylinder block (between the first and second, and also the third and fourth cylinders). In order to guide the head during its installation, the bushings must be well driven into the block. Since the pistons can hit the valves if the crankshaft (or camshaft) is in an unfavourable position, the crankshaft must be turned so that the piston of the first cylinder is approximately 20 mm below the upper edge of the cylinder bore. The installation procedure is as follows:
- Use a screwdriver to screw in the guide bolts;
- install the cylinder head gasket on the block as described above. Both fitted bushings must pass through the corresponding holes in the sealing gasket;
- carefully put the cylinder head on, or lower it with a hand crane onto the block. Make sure that the fitted bushings enter and tap the head with a rubber hammer;
- Insert new cylinder head mounting screws and tighten them in the reverse order to that shown in Fig. 60. Remember that screws must always be replaced with new ones if they have previously been used more than once (see the previous instruction).
The cylinder head mounting screws, i.e. the threads or rods, must not be lubricated. Tighten the screws with the appropriate key in three stages:
- tighten all screws in turn to a torque of 25 Nm;
- tighten the screws in the same sequence to a torque of 45 Nm;
- from this position, tighten the screws by 105°. A graduated disk is usually used for this. If you do not have such a disk, you can easily estimate the rotation by 105°, if you take into account that 90° represents a quarter of a full turn;
Warning: Tighten the cylinder head mounting bolts when the engine is cold.
- install the dipstick tube and the dipstick itself;
- install the camshafts. They are marked. The intake valve shaft has an additional cam at the end for the camshaft position sensor. To seal the front camshaft bearing caps in connection with the cylinder head, some sealant is required;

Fig. 61. Sealing areas
- on the cylinder head, lubricate with sealant the places shown by the arrows in Fig. 61;
- lubricate the main journals of the camshafts well with oil and install the shafts in their places;

Fig. 62. Marking of camshaft covers
- install the camshaft bearing caps in numerical order. The marking is not quite standard as the first cap is marked "0" and is located on the exhaust side. The subsequent numbering is shown in Fig. 62. All numbers must be visible from the outside;
- screw in all the cover screws and tighten by hand. Then tighten each corresponding pair of screws in the reverse order to that shown in Fig. 46 by half a turn, so that all the covers are on top of the cylinder head. And again in the same order, tighten the screws pair by pair to a torque of 10 N·m. Tighten the screws again to a torque of 19 N·m. The bearing covers must always remain parallel to the surface of the cylinder head when tightened;
- hammer in or, better yet, pull on new seals using a piece of pipe with the diameter of the sealing rings. Screw an M10 screw with a large washer to the pipe to tighten the shaft seal. Lubricate the working lips of the seal well;
- fit the camshaft pulleys. The pulleys should rotate freely on the shafts;

Fig. 63. Gauge for adjusting valve timing
- install the valve timing adjustment gauge as shown in Fig. 63;

Fig. 64. Setting the crankshaft to top dead center (TDC)
- turn the crankshaft so that the cutout in the pulley is in the position shown in Fig. 64. This position corresponds to TDC of the first cylinder;

Fig. 65. Preliminary installation of the belt tensioner: 1 - support bolt; 2 - spring; 3 - screw
- if spring 2 (Fig. 65) of the belt tensioner has been removed, it must be installed again.
To do this, screw in the safety pin and tighten it to 10 Nm, hang the spring between the pin and the belt tensioner. Insert an Allen key bent at an angle as shown in the figure and turn. Tighten the tension roller with screw 3 in the new position;

Fig. 66. Placement of the toothed drive belt: 1 - belt, 2 - screw
- Place the toothed drive belt in a counterclockwise direction on the three pulleys and the belt tensioner. First place the belt on the crankshaft pulley, keeping the teeth engaged, place it on the left around the lower guide roller and the toothed drive belt tensioner and pass the loop around the left camshaft pulley. Now, keeping the belt firmly engaged with the teeth of the camshaft pulley, place it on the right pulley and finally pass it around the inside of the right running roller. Make sure that all the teeth provide the required engagement. Loosen nut 2 (Fig. 66), after which the belt tensioner will rush inward to provide the required belt tension;
- lock the camshaft pulleys from turning and tighten both screws to a torque of 68 Nm. The crankshaft should not turn. After tightening the screws, turn the crankshaft two turns until it is again at TDC;
- tighten the belt tensioner screw to a torque of 38 Nm;
- check that the gauge is still aligned according to Fig. 63 when the crankshaft is set to TDC. If not, loosen the corresponding camshaft pulley and move it slightly. Retighten the screw to 68 Nm;
- install the cylinder head cover on a new sealing gasket. Tighten the screws evenly around the circumference, first to 2 Nm, then to 7 Nm;
- screw in the spark plugs (15 Nm) and put the high-voltage wires on them according to the firing order of the cylinders;
- install the protective shields. Make sure that the middle cover is correctly positioned in the lower cover;
- install the drive belt pulley and tighten to 48 Nm;

Note: The cylinder head bolts on these engines can only be used twice. Mark them with one or two punch marks. If the bolts already have two punch marks, they have already been used twice.
- two guide bolts must be turned for installation. The bolts must have an M10 thread 90 mm long on one side and a sawn slot for a screwdriver on the other side. Screw the bolts into two corners of the cylinder head.
- when ordering a cylinder head gasket, be sure to specify the engine capacity, as different sealing gaskets are used. Two fitted bushings are installed in the cylinder block (between the first and second cylinders, and the third and fourth cylinders) to guide the head during installation, the bushings must be well driven into the block. Since the pistons can hit the valves if the crankshaft (or camshaft) is in an unfavorable position, the crankshaft must be turned so that the piston of the first cylinder is approximately 20 mm below the upper edge of the cylinder bore.
The order of installation of the cylinder head is as follows:
- Use a screwdriver to screw in the guide bolts;
- install the cylinder head gasket on the block as described above. Both bushings must pass through the corresponding holes in the sealing gasket;
- carefully place the cylinder head or lower it with a lifting mechanism onto the block. Make sure that the fitted bushings enter, tap the head with a rubber hammer;
- Insert new cylinder head mounting screws and tighten them in the reverse order to that shown in Fig. 60. Remember that screws should always be replaced with new ones if they have already been used more than once. Cylinder head mounting screws - the threads or rods must not be lubricated. Tightening the screws is carried out with the appropriate key in three stages:
- tighten all screws in turn to a torque of 15 Nm;
- tighten all screws in the same sequence to a torque of 40 Nm;
- from this position, tighten the screws by 90° (a quarter turn). No further tightening is required;
Warning: The cylinder head mounting bolts are tightened on a cold engine.
