Note! As the illustrations in this service information are used for different model years and / or models, some variation may occur. However, the essential information in the illustrations is always correct.

- the cover, 4 x M6
- chain tensioner screws, 2 x M6

Removal

Removing the cylinder head

Caution! Do not damage the gasket mating surfaces. The cylinder head gasket has very little chance of sealing any damage to the gasket mating surface.

Remove the cylinder head's screwed joint, start with the screws closest the ends, then work alternately towards the middle.

Remove:
- the screws
- the cylinder head.
Place the cylinder head upside down on a clean, dry absorbent covered (paper wipes for example) surface. This is to prevent damage to the gasket surface of the cylinder head.
Scrap the gasket.
