Cylinder Head Gasket: Application and ID

METAL CYLINDER HEAD GASKET
- From November, 1993 all 1.9 liter Diesel engines are equipped with a new metal cylinder head gasket with silicone coating.
- When making repairs it is no longer necessary to tighten the cylinder head bolts by an additional 1/4-turn (90°) with the engine warm.
- The four-step procedure for tightening the cylinder head bolts during assembly has not changed.
- When installing a new metal cylinder head gasket, follow all precautions and notes.

NOTE:
- The new metal cylinder head gasket can be installed on all 1.9 liter Diesel engines manufactured before November, 1993.
- Carefully remove any abrasive debris.
- Remove new cylinder head gasket from packaging, just before installing.
- Handle gasket extremely carefully. Damaging the silicone layer or the indented area can cause leakage.
