Thoroughly clean the top of cylinder block (3) and the bottom of cylinder head (2). Ensure that there is no debris in the cylinder bores.Note: A number at location (5) with four digits is stamped on cylinder head gasket (4) in order to ensure the correct positioning of the cylinder head gasket. This number faces the cylinder head. Make sure that cylinder head gasket (4) for cylinder head (2) is the correct thickness as the original cylinder head gasket before installation.Note: The correct piston height must be maintained in order to prevent damage to the pistons and the valves. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Piston Height - Inspect". The correct piston height must be maintained in order to ensure that the engine conforms to the exhaust emission standards.
Position cylinder head gasket (4) on the dowels (6) on the top of the cylinder block (3). Do not use any gasket sealant or compound on the cylinder head gasket.
Attach a suitable lifting device to cylinder head (2) .
