Remove the oil filter.
Release the wiring from the alternator and move
the wiring to one side. Fit tool Mot. 1159 under the oil pump.
Note : cut the base of tool Mot. 1159 to 30 mm.

Disconnect:
- the thermostat hoses,
- the connectors for the sensors,- the brake servo pipe,
- the 2 oil vapour rebreathing hoses on the decan-
ter,
- the accelerator cable,
- the preheater plug connector,
- the injection pump connectors,
- the solenoid valve pipes,
- the fuel supply pipe to the diesel fuel filter using

Release the cylinder head by separating the lower
part of the inner camshaft housing; do this wi-
thout pivoting the cylinder head, as it is centred
by 2 dowels (C).
99173-1R
Use a syringe to remove any oil in the mounting
holes for the cylinder head.
This is necessary to ensure the bolts can be tighte-
ned correctly.
Protect the pipe bringing oil up so that foreign
bodies are not allowed to enter the oilways brin-
ging oil into the cylinder head.
If this recommendation is not observed there is a
risk that the oilways may become blocked and da-
mage may occur rapidly to the camshaft.
CLEANING
It is very important not to scratch the gasket faces
of parts in aluminium.
Use Décapjoint to dissolve any gasket remaining
on the metal.
Apply the product to the area to be cleaned; wait
approximately ten minutes then remove using a
wooden spatula.
99180S
Gloves should be worn during this operation.

CHECKING THE GASKET FACE
Use a straight edge and a set of shims to check for
gasket face deformation.
Maximum bow 0.05 mm.
The cylinder head may not be re-ground.

DETERMINING THE THICKNESS OF THE GASKET
Checking piston protrusion
Clean the piston crowns to eliminate any deposits.
Turn the crankshaft in the normal operating direc-
tion by one turn to bring piston No. 1 close to
TDC.
Place tool Mot. 252-01 on the piston.
Fit tool Mot. 251-01 with a dial gauge to the pres-
sure plate Mot. 252-01. The pin of the dial gauge
should be touching the cylinder block; determine
the TDC for the piston.
NOTE : all measurements should be made in the
longitudinal axis of the engine to eliminate errors
due to piston tilt.
99173R
Measure the piston protrusion.
ONLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE DIMENSION FOR
THE PISTON WITH THE MAXIMUM PROTRUSION
For a maximum piston protrusion :
- less than 0.868, use a gasket marked by a tab
with 2 holes,
- between 0.868 and 1.000, use a gasket marked by
a tab with 1 hole,
- greater than 1.000, use a gasket marked by a tab
with 3 holes.

REFITTING(special notes)
Fit the gasket selected previously. It is centred by 2
dowels (C).
99173-1R
Positions the pistons halfway in the barrels to
avoid any contact with the valves when the cylin-
der head is tightened.
Centre the cylinder head on its dowels.
Lubricate under the heads and the threads of the
mounting bolts.
Tighten the cylinder head (see section 07- tighte-
ning the cylinder head).
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Refit the timing belt.
Fill and bleed the cooling circuit (see section 19).
