- At installation of a head of cylinders the interfaced surfaces of a head and the block of cylinders have to be absolutely pure.
- Use a scraper to remove all traces of coal and material of old laying, then clear the interfaced surfaces suitable solvent. If at installation of a head on the interfaced surfaces there is an oil, laying will not perform properly consolidation function, and there can be leaks. Working with the block of cylinders, fill cylinders pure rags to prevent hit of dirt in them. Delete the remains of materials which got to cylinders by means of the vacuum cleaner.
- Check the interfaced surfaces of a head and the block for existence of jags, deep scratches and other damages. If damages insignificant, them it is possible to liquidate by means of a file; if they are rather serious, then only machining can correct them.
- Tap of the suitable size walk on a carving in openings of bolts of a head, then clean openings compressed air - make sure that in openings nothing remained (including oil, water, etc.).
|
- Experts of BMW recommend to replace head bolts, but if all of you use old bolts, clamp each their them in a vice and walk on it a lerka. To remove traces of corrosion and to restore a carving. Dirt, corrosion, traces of sealant and the damaged carving influences indications of effort of tightening of bolts.
|
|
- If bolts or their carving are damaged, use new bolts.
|
|
- Install all components removed from a head before its cleaning and survey. On M40 engines establish a new sealing ring in a flute in the top part of a casing of the oil pump / lobby of a cover.
|
- Make sure that the sealing surfaces of laying between the block of cylinders and a head pure and fat-free. Install laying of a head on the block by the party specified by the producer up (usually on it "UP", "OPEN" or something similar is written). Use adjusting pins in the top part of the block correctly to place laying.
|
- Carefully install a head of cylinders on the block. Use the directing pins for the correct alignment.
|
- On models where the engine is slightly inclined (for example, the M40 engine), you can be helped by installation of the directing cores for more exact alignment of provision of a head on the block. Use for this purpose two old bolts of a head which are screwed in there and back the block. Cut off heads of bolts and a hacksaw make cuts in their tops that after installation of a head of cylinders they could be removed.
|
- Spread bolts of a head of cylinders.
|
- Tighten head bolts in the sequence provided below with the required effort.
|
The sequence of TIGHTENING of bolts of a head of cylinders for four-cylinder M10 engines. |
|
The sequence of TIGHTENING of bolts of a head of cylinders for six-cylinder M20 engines. |
|
The sequence of TIGHTENING of bolts of a head of cylinders for six-cylinder M30 engines. |
|
The sequence of TIGHTENING of bolts of a head of cylinders for four-cylinder M40 engines. |
|
- Pay attention that on some engines the final stage of tightening occurs after the engine run.
|
- You make the rest of installation as it should be, the return to removal. On M10, M20 and M30 engines before installation of a cover of a head of cylinders adjust gaps of valves (see the Head Routine maintenance of the car) - double-check them after warming up of the engine. Start the engine and check whether there are no leaks.
